Big Mike’s BBQ Smokehouse, a staple in Houma and Thibodaux, is more than just a place to eat; it’s a culinary experience of smoky flavors and Southern hospitality.
Shared Plates for Starters
Kick off your meal with delectable starters that provide a kick of flavor with each bite. The Jamaican Jerk Chicken Wings are a customer favorite, marinated in authentic spices that transport you straight to the Caribbean.

Indulgent Burgers and Sandwiches
If you’re in the mood for something that feels like an embrace between the buns, then Big Mike’s burgers and sandwiches offer a delicious variety. The hearty BBQ Blues Burger is a half-pound of ground chuck enveloped in barbecue sauce, blue cheese crumbles, and topped with prime brisket and Applewood bacon. For those who prefer their meat grilled, The Smokehouse Burger provides a juicy, hand-formed patty grilled to perfection.
Barbecue Sandwiches
The barbecue sandwiches are a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to quality and taste. Choices include Prime Brisket, Pulled Pork, and Sausage, painstakingly slow-smoked to lock in flavor. These sandwiches come with a choice of one of their signature Smokin’ side items that complement the meal beautifully.
