Big South

Big South SLC ⭐️ 1.5 out of 5 stars Despite high social media hype, Big South SLC struggles with both preparation and authenticity. Long wait times, lack of readiness at opening, and uninspired flavors make this Southern-style eatery a major letdown. After hearing the buzz about Big South SLC on social media, I was eager to experience what many described as authentic Southern comfort food. Unfortunately, my visit was disappointing from the very beginning. Upon arriving at the food truck posted opening time, I found that staff were not yet ready to serve guests. Service didn’t begin for nearly 30 mins and the delay carried over into the meal service itself. When I finally sat down to eat an enjoy some good comfort food, the quality did not justify the wait. The cornbread lacked both fla

As someone originally from California with a deep appreciation for Southern soul food, I have to say I was quite disappointed with my experience here. You can easily tell when food is fresh versus pre-made or reheated from the store, and unfortunately, that was the case here. I ordered twice, trying different dishes each time because I genuinely love to support Black-owned businesses. However, the quality just didn't meet my expectations. The catfish was overly seasoned, and the chicken wings were not enjoyable at all. As for the mac and cheese, it really missed the mark. Given what I received, I felt that the overall experience did not justify the price. It’s truly unfortunate because I was hoping for something special.

This southern food truck is great. Be sure to follow them on Instagram to see what their hours and availability are. You definitely need to come early if you want to get the oxtails because they sell out real quick. I got the fried catfish with Mac n cheese and dirty rice. The catfish was fried very well and the fish was very flaky and not fishy at all. The dirty rice and Mac n cheese were also good. They seem to have run out of things as time goes on so it's more of what they have left if you come later. The staff was very nice and the food can take some time to wait.

If you are looking for a delicious comfort meal, I highly recommend seeing if the Big South food truck is open! Hands down one of the BEST mac and cheeses I have ever had! Deven after driving home the food was still hot and delicious!

I don’t know what’s taken me so long to write this review but I visited this AMAZING establishment earlier this year, April 2025. When I was doing research for places to eat I saw the area code of the business being from my home state of MS, and I knew my mom and I had to try it (twice 🤤). And please believe that the food and customer service did not disappoint! The owner and his wife have a true gem on their hands. We will definitely visit again in the future.
