This was our first time in Corpus Christi. In my trip planning, I used Yelp to research BBQ…read moreRestaurants for the best ones. This was my pick and we were not disappointed. We ordered beef ribs and baby backs ribs. My beef rib had the best flavor I have ever had! It could have had some more meat on it but the owner and I talked and we both know the butchers these days are cutting them a little to close. Next time I want the brisket because if the rib tasted this good I can't wait for the brisket. Our pork ribs on the other had were extra meaty. Tender and juicy. The atmosphere is just what I like in a classic but comfortable BBQ restaurant. On a hot rainy day, AC is much appreciated... Until my next visit, we look forward to returning.

So thankful that Hoegemeyer's Barbeque Barn was within walking distance from my Hotel (Omni) during…read moremy work conference at Corpus Christie. The highest to-do on my list for this past work trip was get Texas Barbecue. After doing a search and realizing that Texas is vast, I scoured through Yelp to find the top rated places to fulfill this priority item. I ended up finding Hoegemeyer being a good 0.4 miles away. Determined, I placed an order (and then another order 2 days later) for their combinations. On the first day, I ordered a 2 Item Combination with Marbled Brisket and Pulled Pork. The Pulled Pork was a bit dry and made me regret not getting the 'bbq sauce', although not knowing what it was. The Marbled Brisket was fatty and just delightful. It was what made me realize that I needed to pay another visit before my week long trip was over. On the next visit, I ended up opting for a 3 Item Combination. The additional $3 allowed me to get another bbq item. Jalapeño Sausage, Beef Rib, and Marbled Brisket were my selections and they were all great. The Beef Rib seasoned well and the jalapeno sausage had a nice kick to it. The bbq sauce also had a nice spice to it too, which was perfect dipping sauce to the brisket and elevated it to the next level. I also preferred the sides I got during this visit, especially since previously I was picking from an online list. Service was courteous and they went above and beyond to make sure I got my order timely. The interior, especially coming from a Californian, was something out of a movie. I found it to be very charming and very glad to have visited here. Shout out to the manager/business owner, who told me that I was pulling when I should be pushing, and also which door to exit out of. Oops.

Once we sat down, our waitress was quick to take our drink orders and had them out to us right away. She checked on us several times throughout the meal and kept the table cleared, making sure everything was going well. I really enjoyed the hot buffet and the salad bar was excellent too. There were so many options--ham, mac and cheese, turkey and dressing, chicken fried steak, chicken nuggets, fried fish, brisket, ribs, plenty of sides, hot rolls and more. Dessert did not disappoint either! We had cobbler, buttermilk pie, bread pudding, banana pudding, and of course, plenty of ice cream. Overall, it was such a great value. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the buffet stayed well-stocked the entire time. We will definitely be back!

I stopped in for brunch on a Saturday morning and was really surprised by the crowds, and the atmosphere of the restaurant. It reminded a lot of B Matthew's in Savannah, which if you know, is a good thing! I initially went for the croissants based on the recommendation, but ordered the Biscuits with Gravy in addition to a loaf of sourdough, a croissant, and a few back to school theme cookies to bring onto the kids! The biscuits and gravy was phenomenal, and I really liked how they added scrambled eggs to top them. This is something I've never seen before and the result was great! As far as the bakery items (croissant, sourdough, and cookies) I feel like my review won't do them justice because they weren't eaten until I got home a few days later. Bottom line, I will be stopping in at Hester's every time I visit Corpus going forward. A definitely must try!

Numerous eclectic old signs, farm tools, and some musical instruments decorate the walls inside. Got in at 4:30 for an early dinner as I had worked through lunch and was ready for some food. There was no one at the check-in stand when I first got here, but it was early. I was seated quickly my drink order taken soon soon afterwards and my food order a few minutes after they brought my drink back. So Service was pretty good. Ceramic plates, metal utensils, and paper napkins. Ordered the steak and shrimp with carrots, green beans, and french fries. My waiter was very courteous and friendly. Prices were also very good. My dinner was only $24 before drink and tip and came with three sides as well as cornbread and biscuits with butter if you want. I forwent the temptation and asked him not to bring any bread. The sides were all very good. My steak had a good flavor and was surprisingly tender. I didn't expect much at these prices but was surprised. Really not sure about the low rating of only two stars but I would definitely come here again really good home-cooked food at reasonable prices!
