I flew to Midland on business and drove over to Big Spring. After finding Big John's Feed Lot on CitySearch, I was too intrigued by the name NOT to eat there. It was great! The brisket was tender and juicy and the ribs were meaty with very little fat. I liked the potato salad because it had very little celery in it; maybe none. (a personal preference). A tupperware jar of jalapeno peppers sits on the table, so help yourself. The waitress was attentive without being bothersome. The decorations on the walls give it a rustic feel. But make no mistake, with plastic forks and knives and styrofoam plates; this is a straight up BBQ joint. In my opinion, a pretty good compliment for any purveyor of smoked meats!
