    Hours place is open.

    Man I drove over from Banquete to get some bbq on a Tuesday like it says they are open and it's closed. what a waste of time and gas

    I've been going to Mac's over 10yrs, today I went through the drive thru I ordered a marble brisket sandwich, when I got home I was disappointed to see brisket flat. So I called and complain to Rene she suggested as inconvenience on my part to come back with the sandwich so they can correct my order, or she can take my name so on my next visit bring the original brisket flat sandwich, and they will make a new order! Totally unacceptable. I will not be returning to Mac's he has lost a loyal customer. The girls have been slacking on their service.

    Spanish rice was GREAT! Only ate half I was so full!!!

    Po'boy sandwich plate.
    Edward S.

    Happened by here for lunch and suddenly craved BBQ. I'd heard/read mixed reviews about Mac's so I thought, "why not?" Had their po'boy sandwich plate; chopped beef, sausage & brisket on a hogie, along with two sides. I chose potato salad and coleslaw. Of course, also had iced tea. Before trying the sandwich as a whole, I took out some of the components to sample. Brisket was rather dry, considering it was the "fattier" cut. The sausage tasted like V&V's jalapeno sausage, so how can you screw that up? The chopped beef was a hit, though. Good chunks of beef with just the right amount of sauce; not too soggy, not too sweet. It would've been nice if the bun had been toasted so it would've held up to some sauce instead of getting soggy. Potato salad was good as was the cole slaw. Nothing really stood out with those. The "relish bar" had good selections of both chopped and sliced onions, pickles and jalapenos as well as some pico de gallo. Service was friendly enough. Everything happens right at the front counter when you step up - no tableside service. So, is it good BBQ? Yes. Is it GREAT BBQ or the best? No. The brisket, while a little dry did have excellent, smoky flavor. And I would go back if for nothing more than a chopped beef sandwich.

    Brisket Sandwich Perfection

    Mac's BBQ is hands down the best BBQ in town! Jerry, owner treats everyone like family and always remembers your usual favorite BBQ plate! Donna is always smiling and friendly and welcomes everyone in! This is a must place to visit every time! Mac N' Cheese and Potato Salad don't miss! It's perfection.

    I was so looking forward to an old fashioned good Texas BBQ! Unfortunately I left disappointed. Dry brisket. Good potato salad.

    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.

    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!!
