Arrived for lunch at open which was 11 and the parking lot was full. And there was a line outside to get in which was not a surprise. Our wait outside was 45 minutes. There is water outside after all it is oppressively hot in STX. They do stagger how many can go inside at a time to order. It is a counter and you order your sides first and burgers. We went with the #1 family meal which was a 1/2 lb of brisket, pork ribs, choice of sausage and 2 8oz sides with bread, pickles, pickled red onion and sliced white onion no drink included. Our sides were macaroni and cheese and pork belly rice. I added another 1/4 lb of brisket and 1/4 pound of sliced pork loin. It did not seem like enough food that is why I ordered extra. The price per lb of brisket is overpriced at $34 a pound. I had originally ordered the jalapeno cheddar sausage and they stated that they were out of that and beef sausage at 11:45. I had to settle for the Serrano pineapple sausage. There is no reason to run out of one the Texas trinity bbq staples 45 mins after opening. I did enjoy the flavor of everything we ate plus had a little leftovers. I am sure we'll be back next time in the valley but will be more conservative due to the high pricing here.

Definitely tops a lot of other barbecue spots in Texas that also come with 2-3hr waiting times so having this in my hometown is awesome. It's pretty tightly packed in there especially during rush hour but having a full bustling house adds to the lovely feeling of eating Texas barbecue in this crazy heat. Wish I could have tried the mac and cheese but it always gives me a reason to come back!

Teddys BBQ: A Disappointing Experience Unworthy of the Top 50…read moreTeddys BBQ, a celebrated winner of the "Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ Awards," arrived with high expectations that were, unfortunately, decimated by the actual experience. Arriving at 11:10 AM, just after opening, we anticipated fresh, high-quality smoked meats and homemade sides. What we received was an uninspiring meal that leads me to question the legitimacy of its Top 50 status--and frankly, its place in the Top 100. This visit was a letdown, especially compared to the twelve other far superior BBQ joints we tasted this past week. The Meats: Misses and One Minor Hit The foundation of the barbecue here was weak, suggesting corner-cutting or, worse, reheating of old product. * Brisket: This was the biggest disappointment. The slice was terrible--dry, lacking juice, and with a bark that was chewy rather than crisp. It looked and tasted suspiciously like leftovers reheated from the day before, which is unacceptable minutes after opening. * Ribs: Nothing special here. They lacked the depth of smoke flavor and suffered from a distracting, undesirable "hammy" taste. There wasn't much meat on the bone, and the glaze was applied too lightly, failing to add any necessary sweetness or texture. * Jalapeño Cheese Sausage: This was the sole highlight of the meat offerings. It was a nice standard sausage with a good peppery snap to the casing and a satisfying ooze of cheddar cheese. It offered a nice, reliable counterpoint to the lackluster smoked proteins. Failed Opportunity: The Texas Twinkie The infamous Texas Twinkie completely missed the mark. While the basic concept of a bacon-wrapped, cream-cheese-stuffed jalapeño is sound, the execution here was poor. The filling was overwhelmingly cream cheese, which completely sucked the flavor out of the jalapeño and bacon. It was a great opportunity wasted by failing to include a bit of smoked brisket or chicken to give it complexity. Sides: Bland, Bland, Bland The sides tasted uninspired, suggesting they were prepared from a can or box rather than crafted from scratch--an unforgivable sin for a purported Top 50 establishment. * Creamed Corn: It was creamy but utterly bland. It needed significant elevation--perhaps charring the corn kernels or adding some diced jalapeño pieces for heat and brightness. * Mexican Rice: This was mushy and flavorless. It desperately lacked the savory depth and spice expected of Mexican rice. A small addition of pork or brisket trimmings would have provided necessary flavor and prevented it from tasting so generic. Dessert: An Unprofessional Finish The Grapefruit Pie was the final letdown. The filling tasted okay, but the crust was clearly store-bought. To be considered a Texas elite, every component should be homemade and excellent. This felt like an amateur concession. Final Verdict Overall, Teddys BBQ was profoundly uninspiring. Given that we arrived right after opening, expecting the freshest quality, and having recently toured 12 genuinely great BBQ places, this location falls far short. It simply does not belong in the Top 50, or even the Top 100. Teddys has a lot of room for improvement if it wants to justify its ranking.

Nuri finally came around and did just that. The food is amazing! My husband and I have been waiting for food like this since we moved to McAllen from Miami almost 4 years ago. They ran out of the steak but we had the "karnitas" and the fried chicken. Delicious blend of Mexican and Korean. I highly recommend going to Nuri over the other food trucks.
