There’s nothing better than sinking your teeth into some finger-licking good BBQ. You know – the kind that’s been slow-cooked for hours, served with your favorite BBQ sauce, then piled with all the best sides. Louisiana may not necessarily be known for BBQ, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have ample restaurants around the state that are churning out some mouthwateringly good meats. This one restaurant has locations in both Houma and Thibodaux, and it’s worth your while to pay them a visit and try their brisket. It will satisfy your soul.

When it comes to BBQ, Big Mike’s needs to be on everyone’s bucket list.
