As a 55 year native born Texan that's had BBQ Everywhere and a former restaurant manager. Smoke is MY SPOT for TEXAS QUALITY BBQ. I gave up drinking for Jesus so I can't attest to thier bar standards, but great people and atmosphere!!!

The food was delicious. I had 1/2 lb of the moist brisket and a small Mac & cheese. Both were very…read moregood and enough to fill me up. There wasn't much of a wait when I went and there was a full bar, but no one really manning the bar. Look the place was great and not that it was their fault but there was a large group and they had small kids literally running around and yelling. It was crazy. I almost colliding with one when I was coming back from refilling my drink. No one asked these kids/parents to be careful or have them sit down. I would go back for the food. My boyfriend had the chicken and I did taste it. It was very good and seasoned just right. I didn't get photos of the food this time, but when I go back I'll update!!

Although they were out of Mac and cheese which is the main reason I came here (The Trinity Sandwich). They were also out of water at both soda machines. They were also out of hand sanitizer. The BBQ was really good, the brisket, pulled pork, and sausage were all really good. The mashed potatoes were very bland and not very creamy. The waffles fries were amazing. The Elote did not have a lot of flavor and was mainly just the cream flavor. Overall the people working were really nice and the main food was good.

I couldn't even taste any smoke flavor on the brisket either. I was very thankful for bbq sauce, which was damn good! I also had the potato salad, which was also basic and very bland. Highly disappointed because in my humble opinion, Texas has the best bbq, hands down. I'm guessing it just isn't good in Harlingen. I will try this place again when I come back to Harlingen in a few weeks for work. Could've just been an off day. Sorry, no toes or thumbs for Backyard BBQ. Happy eating, my foodies!

The food was delicious! So soft and just made to perfection. Definitely recommend this hidden gem.read more

They are so proud of it that you have to ask the price, really,? Ordered a glass a wine, they only had boto box and it came in a plastic glass, should have returned it, we were clearly in the wrong establishment. We all ordered bbq as that seemed the norm, my mom and I ordered the two meat sausage and brisket and my husband ordered the single meat, when the plate came out the two meat portion looked the same as the one meat portion so my husband questioned it, the manager did come over and try to explain and did bring two more pieces of brisket. but the sausage was horrible the briskest was ok the coleslaw was terrible and the potato salad just ok. We were taking my mom out to dinner for Mother's Day and what a disappointment, this was our first and last time as we were not impressed, there's much better places. Now, the huge potato is the way we should have went but again better places around. Our waiter offered good service just not impressed with the establishment and food.

Visited this establishment on a Sunday. It is a gas station converted into a restaurant. The…read moreestablishment was clean and has about 10 tables. Staff was pleasant. Ordered Brisket, Ribs and pull pork. The portions were generous and the price was adequate for BBQ. The coleslaw was fresh but had to much mayo. Cream corn was delicious. BBQ beans were OK. I was happy to see that BBQ beans were not just beans with BBQ sauce. The moist Brisket I received reminded me of what was left over. It was very fatty and lacked taste. The ribs had a smoky taste instead of BBQ taste and not as tender as other places. The pull pork sandwich was good with a little BBQ sauce. Their BBQ sauce is very neutral in not being sweet or vinegary. Pass on ordering a soft drink as the water/ice must not be filtered. It was awful at $2.50. Also be aware, this establishment will charge 4.5% if you pay with a card.

Wow much larger than I expected. I was able to finish but I think most will struggle to finish them. You can select 3 different kind fO tacos from a choice of about 5 tacos. They also looked very pretty. I sent snap out to friends and they were all jealous. The owner Frankie came to my table and asked if everything was good. I had a mouth full of great food but I think he got my message that I loved it. I will be coming back for sure to try the rest of the menu.

Everyone seemed to like what they ordered. My Two Meat BBQ Plate had brisket slices and some smoked turkey breast. The turkey was a little dry but had good flavor and there was a lot of it. The brisket was nice and moist but unfortunately two slices were sliced incorrectly WITH the grain instead of across the grain. This made them tougher than they should have been. Kind of a rookie mistake. But the flavor was good. The grandson's spicy fried flounder was very good. He loved it! The spicy Chicken sandwich was excellent and shared between two of our party. Overall the food was good and the service was very good. The place wasn't busy because it was midafternoon which was nice since it's usually packed on the weekends. We definitely will return when we travel to Harlingen to pick up visitors at the airport.
