Big Head's Bar-B-Q

The Bar-B-Q at Big Head's is real pit Bar-b-q cooked on "Ole Black" which was fabricated from scratch.  "Ole Black" is made from rolled steel plate and has a rotisserie with 4 (or 8) 14"x8' racks.

Who We Are

Big Head's is family owned and operated by Cindy & J.C. Olano and their two daughters April & Amanda.  

J.C. loves to cook, especially Bar-B-Q.  So much so, he fabricated his own pit and several large kettle pots for cooking jambalaya.  The Olano's come from a large family so; it was never a problem filling them up.  Some day's J.C. would cook a large pot of Jambalaya or Pastalaya and flag the neighbors down to give them a plate for dinner.  

It started out just cooking for the West Bank Motorcycle Club’s St. Jude Poker Run, that went on for 11 years.  Friends would ask to cook for different functions such as the Port Allen Mardi Gras, and then Morales Grocery in Brusly. 

One day on the way home from a friend's house in Grosse Tete they ran across the perfect OLD building that they could use for a small Bar-B-Q stop.  It was going to be just the Bar-b-Q.  After a year of remodeling it themselves the building had totally transformed and so did the menu.
