We had plans to eat somewhere else but it turned out their online menu was incorrect and they didn't offer safe food for me (allergy wise). BBQ it is! The older (than us) gentleman behind the counter was so patient with me as I couldn't decide between beef or pork ribs. I'm very obviously pregnant and so when he made my plate he threw in a pork rib for me to try to see if I liked one more than the other. They are BOTH delicious! Just making sure everyone knows. I ordered a beef rib plate with double coleslaw. My husband got sausage plate with double mac. I also got a sweet tea lemonade that I drank the rest of the afternoon because it it THAT big. Haha. This food made me feel like I was at a family cookout. We are heading back over to have it again before we leave for the season. Just absolutely delicious!

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.

We were headed to another restaurant but saw the line and thought that's always a good sign. This was our first Texas bbq experience and it didn't disappoint. We will be back oh

The sausage was just ok nothing special but the turkey was dry and tasted OLD. We did get a Beef rib which was pricey but it was the only item that was delicious and made the drive worth it. They did have FREE lone Star beer. But the employees looked tried and nobody was smile. I was there a bit before 11am which is when they open. Gone are the days of recommending this place. Not sure how they made the Top 50 list. There were 3 of eating and we all agreed that the beef rib and the sides were the best.

Review: Butter's BBQ - Deserving of the Top 50 Title…read more Stepping into Butters BBQ, a true brick-and-mortar establishment, the atmosphere immediately confirmed its reputation. With plenty of indoor seating and a genuine, welcoming BBQ joint vibe, the setting is as comfortable as the staff is enthusiastic. This is clearly a location where the team is passionate about their craft, and their helpfulness in guiding us through the menu was much appreciated. Having secured a coveted spot on the "Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ" awards list, the question was: did the food live up to the hype? The answer is a resounding yes. The Smoked Meats: A Masterclass in Fire and Smoke The menu offers a tight selection of Texas staples, all executed with precision: * Brisket: The star of the show delivered on nearly every front. It boasted a good tenderness and a beautifully defined smoke ring. While a few outer edges were slightly dry, the overall flavor profile was rich, deep, and satisfying, proving why the brisket is the cornerstone of any great Texas joint. * Pork Ribs: These were exceptionally tender, falling away from the bone without being mushy. The flavor balance was perfect--rich and meaty, thankfully avoiding the overly "hammy" note that can sometimes plague smoked ribs. A solid rib glaze complemented the excellent dry rub flavor, resulting in a perfectly balanced bite. * Jalapeño Cheese Sausage: A standout item. This double-grind sausage had a fantastic consistency and was heavily infused with a nice peppery flavor and well-integrated spices. While a minor note, a bit more cheese would have elevated it further, but the quality of the sausage itself was undeniable. * The Texas Twinkie: A true piece of barbecue artistry. This treat--a large jalapeño stuffed with tender brisket and cream cheese, then wrapped in thick-cut bacon--was executed flawlessly. The preparation was exactly as a Texas Twinkie should be, finished with a beautiful, savory glaze on the bacon that sealed the deal. Elevated Sides The sides were not an afterthought, featuring one truly memorable dish: * Mexican Elote: This was an excellent side dish and a clear elevation of the classic street corn. The careful mixture of flavors, topped with a solid amount of Cotija cheese and a generous squeeze of lime, made this a bright, tangy, and creamy complement to the heavy meats. * Brisket Charro Beans: A comforting and hearty offering. This was a pretty standard preparation of pinto beans, mixed expertly with brisket and onion--a reliable, staple side dish that did its job well. Final Verdict Butter's is very deserving of its "Texas Monthly Top 50" position. The meat quality, especially the ribs and the perfect Texas Twinkie, combined with the elevated Elote, solidifies its position as a very solid BBQ joint. We left feeling impressed not only by the food but by the genuinely passionate staff who run the operation. This is a must-visit for any serious Bbq enthusiast.

First of all, let me say that this place's greatest attribute is the customer service !…read more Their bbq was all so good but their sides could stand alone as entrees if they had to. We had brisket, turkey, chicken, ribs as meats. The sides we tried were beans, elote, potato salad, Mac n' cheese. First thing they did when we arrived was served my grandson a cup of Mac n' cheese before we even ordered. They somehow knew he was hungry and got him taken care of. This place is a must try for any visitors. Additionally, if the Rockport-Fulton Chamber of Commerce are reading; this place knows how to greet visitors to your city, take notice here! This is a place we will most definitely return to when visiting Rockport-Fulton !

They do not tell nor is it on the menu to show that each order comes with white bread, raw onions, and pickles on top. I would eat here again when we are stopping through Rockport. I had the Elote bowl and ribs with coleslaw. All of which was delicious. Ribs are best eaten immediately because when warm, they really do come off the bone. The elote bowl was better cold and eaten second day dare I say. My husband did find some of his food (Turkey and Mac & Cheese) to be a little bland. Sausage was decent to both of us! It's in a great location, especially when leaving Rockport for the afternoon. I see a lot of comments about the gentlemen (with the beard) behind the counter. No, he's not overtly friendly (which doesn't bother me) but he gets the orders right, gives HUGE portion sizes, and was friendly enough for us to enjoy the experience. They also have great decor and a huge outside seating area. We sat inside which can be tight for some as they did the best they could with a few tables given the space.

So I grabbed some with the tater salad and some banana pudding my friend recommended. I swear, I was in heaven when I had some of the pork.

I'm coming back in a Saturday so I can have the beef Dino ribs. I can't wait to try it.

Outstanding bbq - the hype is real…read more Ordered the texas trinity meal that came with. 1/2 lb of brisket, ribs and a sausage link +3 sides Brisket was great: moist and tender woth a great smoke ring. The inhouse jalapeno cheese sausage was great too - great flavor and mild in heat. The rib was perfect with right smount of pull as you bite into it. It also was adequately seasoned with salt and pepper and the glaze was fantastic. The sides were pretty good too. Mac and cheese was cheese with the macaroni al dente and not over cooked. The tater tot casserole was cheesy goodness. The standout though was the jambalaya - some of the best I've had outside of LA. Want to come back and try the rest of their proteins.
