Do not sleep on this strip mall place that looks like it may not even be occupied when you arrive. You can smell the mesquite burning the minute you exit your car-didn't get a look at the pits. Upon arrival we were the only customers, creating questions. Really quiet. Only a young couple behind the counter. Minimal menu written on butcher paper tacked to the wall. Three meats available-sausage, brisket, and pork ribs. Simple sides like slaw and potato salad appearing to be commercially made, not in house. Neither of those are very good. One sauce on the tables with a sweet leaning flavor. I didn't ask about it's production. We ordered the three meat plate so as to try some of each. Sausage really good with a light burn of black pepper. We liked this very much. This was sliced behind the counter which I think is a mistake as it dries out as it sits on the tray during dining. Pork ribs came as two and a half bones and had an excellent pull. Not dry or over cooked at all. Brisket was a a very large pair of slices which was quite fatty imo. Was not asked what type we preferred-lean or fatty-but it had a lovely smoke ring, a deep rub redolent of black pepper, and a full mesquite flavor. The slices were best toward the top near the bark, as the lower portion nearest the fat was a bit too mushy for my taste. It was good with a drizzle of sauce and wrapped in the included white bread though. This very generous meal along with two beverages and tip came out to less than $30 making it a killer value when compared to other spots.

Me and my little sister were in the mood for some amazing Bar B Q and every since I was young…read moreliving in Corpus Christi Silverado was the place to go for some good tasting Bar B Q! The location is pretty easy to find and the parking is vast since it shares a parking lot with other businesses around the area. Once you arrive inside the establishment you have that western atmosphere and the smell of the Bar B Q hits you and makes your mouth water! Once walking up to the lines you have a vast majority of meats and sides to choose from. From pork and beef ribs, to sausage and brisket. It's all there for your liking and the sides are amazing as well!!! Mac & cheese to homemade mashed potatoes with white or brown gravy!!!! Mmmmmmmmmmmm! The price is reasonable (especially since its Bar B Q), and the service is great! Theres butter, jalapeños, salsa, and other condiments for you at the mini bar and once you're done there is self serve ice cream if you even have any more room for your stomach! I love coming here with family and friends and this place is a definite must if you are in the mood for some good ol fashion Bar B Q! So stop on bye and have one amazing meal! Thank You Silverado!

While there's some debate as to whether beef ribs should fall off the bone or just be pullable off…read morethe bone, there is NO debate that beef ribs should be so tough as to be unchewable and be so difficult to cut through the server had to get a second, sharper knife to cut through them. I ordered two beef rib plates (one with sausage added) and when I got home neither my wife nor I could tear the meat off the bone. There was plenty of fat under the bark, but the meat itself was like shoe leather. There was smoky flavor, but it stayed with the meat that refused to release its grip on the bone. The two plates cost over $50 and it was the worst 50 bucks I've ever spent on food. Absolutely the worst beef ribs I've EVER come across. AVOID THE BEEF RIBS AT SILVERADO. My reviews here in the past have been favorable. Something terrible has happened here.

We've tried several barbecue places around Corpus, and we think Mac's was one of the best. The food…read morehad wonderful flavor, and the staff was extremely friendly. We enjoyed everything we ordered and would highly recommend it."

If I could I would leave a -100 mac's ruin our mother's. I call for mac's to cook some meat for us…read moremother's day I have used them many times they even cook for our wedding and many other occasions. When you drop off meat they change by the pound and write down what you bring now am picky about my meat I only buy meat from moody and commissary, and sausage from heb only because they dont carry. Other times the taller lady w/glass brings you the food and open it so you can check it. Well today was weird a short Hispanic man bought my food out I was waiting for him to open the container. Nope he kept saying you dont have to check it all there we dont steal and the owner pack it himself. Now am thinking I have never been told that ever not here not no where. Because says that to a customer. Unless all your food not there. But the man kept repeating it all the way to my car it wasn't seating well with me. But just said OK I had other places to I bought over there 4 beef ribs, 3 pork rib, 4 chicken half, 10 v&v links 5 jalapeño cheddar sausage. I pick it up close to 5 I got home at 710pm I went to season the meat and slab of pork ribs was missing i called and left a message. No one called i called Wednesday the lady repeats my order like I didn't know what I bought over there. She get the owner to call back he tells me he packed it himself and all my food was there I said first it wasn't second why would that make a difference who packs it i dont you or anyone who works there nor did I see you pack it and I dont care who pack as.long as my food is there. Then he said what you want me too to do. I said you tell me the owner then said well I can gave you 10 dollar what you paid to cook that ribs I said and where is the cost of the meat at. He repeat I can give you 10. I told him it seems that you need that meat and 10 more then I do but believe me I will tell everyone I know that you all steals and to make sure when they say you dont have to check you better check because that means they stole your food. That only makes me think about all the meat drop off and paid 300 and 250 for them to cook the meat if really received all of that meat back. Who knows if they not whiching out people meats too. But what I do know we will never ever use them again. A smart business person would of said What can do you can come in and get 3 lbs of pork ribs or your choice of meat to make it right. That's how you do business. And it wasn't about the missing meat it was that man kept saying OVER OVER YOU DONT NEED TO CHECK THE OWNER PACK IT. WELL THE OWNER CANT COUNT AND HE STEALS .​

I can't believe I've lived in Corpus Christi for six years and never tried our local five-pound ode…read moreto Tex-Mex breakfast cuisine. I was surprised when most of my friends and coworkers had never even heard of it, and later, I gleefully showed them pictures of the baby-sized taco I ordered. For $12, you can't go wrong. The looks of awe from the faces of the children at the next table as they brought the foil-wrapped wonder out, were worth it alone. It came with potato, sausage, bacon, brisket, chorizo, egg, and cheese. I finished maybe an eighth of the taco there, and my boyfriend couldn't put down any more than a quarter of it at a time, afterwards. It was good enough to have for nearly every meal between the two of us until it was gone the next day. Portion-wise, it would probably feed four hungry adults with no leftovers. I only wish it would've been more chorizo-heavy, but this is a minor gripe. No-substitutions, otherwise I would have ordered it with more chorizo and potato, and less sausage. Be sure to take plenty of pictures, because this thing is impressive and you're sure to be the envy of your friends on social media if that's your shtick.

The food, the employees (family owned), the atmosphere was nice and quiet. It is a very cozy place…read moreand they were so kind to us. We ordered our food and as we waiting they gave us complimentary conchitas and they were AMAZING! I ordered the brisket chalupas and they were fantastic! This place is definitely 5 stars!!
