Mesquite Smoked Brisket Worth the Drive to Mooresville
Big Tiny's BBQ started with John and Elizabeth Maddox, longtime Mooresville residents with Texas roots and 18-plus years of marriage, and family recipes, behind them. The name comes from their firstborn, a dog named Tiny. After a 25-year career in motorsports, John hung up his wrenches to become a full-time Pitmaster, and Elizabeth brought two decades of business know-how to the counter.
John grew up smoking BBQ beside his father in Midland, Texas, and that mesquite-wood tradition is still the backbone of every plate at Big Tiny's. Brisket, ribs, sausage, and turkey come off the smoker low and slow, no shortcuts, no gas assist — just wood, time, and a recipe 18 years in the making.
Big Tiny's sits right on North Main Street in Mooresville, an easy stop whether you're headed to Lake Norman or just craving something smoked. Step inside for full-service dining or grab a to-go box for the lake, either way, you'll smell the mesquite before you see the door.
