Come on now! I am a bbq snob and was blown away. I'm in Midland on a business trip and was craving bbq. I will sometimes get chain bbq if that's all I can find, but was glad I checked Yelp! This restaurant is recognized by Texas Monthly as a Top 50 BBQ restaurant in TX and it is a well deserved recognition. I ordered the 1 meat plate with brisket...y'all it was so tender and flavorful. I tried the bbq sauce and was pretty sure I had died and gone to heaven! I don't know what they put in that sauce, but it was chef's kiss! I also ordered the green chili mac, pinto beans, and a jalapeño popper. All were so tasty and cooked to an appropriate temperature. I ended with peach cobbler. Great end to my meal. I don't know the name of the young man who took my order, but he was kind and helpful. Friendliness was appreciated. If I'm ever in Midland again, I will eat here again!

3 Meat Plate (Brisket, Pork Ribs, and Sausage) and a side of Green Chile Macaroni and Cheese
Zachary S.

Visiting my girlfriend in Lubbock for an extended weekend brought us down to Midland for another stamp and more barbecue. Half Acre is off 349, just slightly north of the Midland epicenter. The parking lot is huge, and as we pulled in just around noon, we were shocked at how packed it was. Obviously, good barbecue is worth going to, especially on a Friday, and Half Acre is no exception. The entire space at Half Acre is pretty expansive, with a regular-sized dining room where all the ordering and preparation takes place, plus a large outdoor seating area and another overflow room, which is needed for a lunch rush like today. The first thing that took me aback was the prices at Half Acre. So far on this stamp book journey, Half Acre is the cheapest joint I have been to by a significant degree. I feel like the median cost of a three-meat plate in my experience is about $33. Try $25 with a side. $1.50 for a regular drink as well. It is unreal. I did a double take. I felt like I was stealing from a local business. My theory is that since Half Acre is owned by Midland Meat Company, the vertical integration makes it significantly cheaper than other pitmasters and joints importing meats on a daily basis. I do not know if it is true, but whatever can help make barbecue affordable in big 2026 is a plus. They run two lines during the lunch rush, and after waiting about five minutes in line, it took about 10 minutes to get our food out. For the price, I was shocked to get four pork ribs, all meaty and flavorful. The brisket slabs were large as well, with two big cuts of meat. The brisket seasoning was savory and sweet. The standard sausage was juicy and had a good little kick to it. I was impressed by the green chile mac, and the fried okra my girlfriend got was perfectly seasoned. I do not think this is all-star barbecue by any means, but you cannot scoff at that price tag. Any brisket for that price is a blessing, and I am glad to see them get so much foot traffic on the Friday we went. As we walked out, there was a line out the door and not an open table in sight. That is what barbecue is all about. RIYL: Brisket without paying an arm and a leg.

Outstanding! This is some of the BEST BBQ I have had. Went with the 3 meat - Brisket, Pulled Pork and Sausage with the Green Chile Mac! Too much to eat so I have dinner. This place gets busy and well worth the wait. Top 50 is not good enough here. More like Top 20 in my book

I visited this Top 50 restaurant for lunch immediately after visiting a client in the area. The parking lot is large and there is plenty of seating. There was no line at the time luckily as the ordering process is quick and efficient since there are 2 registers. They have 2 buildings and a courtyard between the metal buildings, all have seating. I found they have a full menu and some choices you don't regularly see at a craft bbq restaurant like steak fingers and brisket eggrolls. I tried their 3 meat plate with sliced moist brisket, sausage and beef ribs. They only had the jalapeno sausage on my visit. Also, the beef ribs are not the Dino ribs. I chose green chili mac n cheese as my one side. They have an intercom to call your order number. The 2nd building does not have central air conditioning, but it's partially covered has fans, and a floor cooler, and in the winter they fan utilize the 3 gas heaters in the ceiling. On the other side of the 2nd building is an area for cornhole. Brisket - a very thick slice probably near 1/3 lb, nice smoke ring, very tender. 4/5 Jalapeno cheese sausage - a good Texas style sausage, not spicy, pretty juicy, utilizes cheddar. 4/5 Beef ribs - you receive 5 beef ribs, its not a lot of meat on these though. They're cooked well done, and just short of being beef jerky for the most part, good flavor though. Some of the meat is tender or fatty and not well done. 3/5 Green chili mac n cheese - uses small elbow noodles, maybe 1-2 cheeses, a little on the dry side, not spicy, 3/5 Banana pudding - one of the better banana puddings ive had lately, tasted homemade, very few wafers in mine, also a few banana chunks present. This pudding has 3 layers, pudding, custard and a whipped cream 4/5 Overall, I had a good experience here on a day that wasn't all that hot. For the amount of food I received on a 3 meat plate, plus the dessert and tea...this would have cost at least $40 in Houston, Austin, or other major cities. Here though, only $33. Many customers were ordering sandwiches and burgers. So I would want to try their burger next time. Their menu indicates many of their meats are from Midland Meat Company, another highly rated business (butcher shop) in town. However, Half Acre is actually an extension of this meat company, according to their website.

Pork ribs, moist brisket, with potato salad.

Food was delicious. I got the pork ribs with brisket. I was surprised they gave so much brisket. Definitely had leftovers. Will be coming back soon!

It's a little off the path, had to figure out how to get in to the parking lot. Once we figured it out, we were shocked by how full the parking lot was for close to closing time. Turns out there was a football banquet or something so the outside seating area was closed, making the dining room really full. This is a place you order the food and they call your number when it's done. I had the 2 meat plate with beans and cheesy corn. I had brisket, all they had left was lean, and ribs. Lean brisket was dry, had to put some sauce on it to eat it. Ribs were great Sides were good as well. Nice place, would come back for sure

2 meat plate - Moist Brisket and Sausage cheesy corn

Work brought me to Midland, TX back to my old stomping grounds of all places and my co workers and I were hankering some BBQ and we heard so much about the newish spot off Big Spring Street in north Midland The Half Acre and just had to try it the biggest attraction that made it top of my list is the Brisket egg roll! Upon entering on a late lunch hour the place wasn't too busy so we quickly placed our orders and were on our way. The sweet tea is really good here perfect balance of sweet compliments well with the brisket egg roll I was about to devour! The egg roll is generous portion of juicy brisket and dipped with their come back sauce it stole the show! Now for the two meat plate! Let's talk beef, the moist "fatty" brisket had nice balance of brisket juices and great seasoning on it paired well with the sausage. The cheesy corn on the other hand not for me, tasted like a little bit of nacho cheese paired with corn. Overall, I would return for that amazing Brisket Egg roll and would try the turkey next time or ribs out. I do recommend you give it a try yourself to see if it tops one of Midland BBQ eats!

Great BBQ, decent portions and some of the best brisket I've ever had. Plenty of parking, even if it is a little outside of Midland.

I heard a lot about this restaurant and since I'm a barbecue fanatic, I decided I needed to try it…read more Just an FYI they're only open till three most days except Friday and Saturday. They're open to eight. Service was amazing. Sherry and May made the experience of dining here for the first time super enjoyable. As for the food amazing I would place this barbecue restaurant in my top 10 if not top five that I've tried. The pork was amazing without any sauce. The sausage was good, but the star of the plate was the hatch macaroni just the right amount of spice just the right amount of seasoning so good. Their barbecue sauce was so flavorful and complemented everything perfectly. Nice quick dining experience with a great little atmosphere of just a local heritage one of the highlights is the sauce bar with multiple sauces, peppers, pickles and so many other choices for sure 100% have to try this if you're in Midland. The menu has many things besides barbecue and I plan on going back to try multiple items more to follow.

I visited Pachuco's while on a work trip as it was a short walk from my hotel and I was in the mood…read morefor some Texas BBQ. Thankfully Pachuco's was there. Upon walking up, I saw the pig on the sign and had a good feeling. It was moderately busy in there with some awesome metal music playing. Already a good start! The menu consisted of the regular you would expect from any BBQ place (a variety of meats, sandwiches, etc) but what makes them stand out are the more interesting dishes like Korean fusion dishes and stuff like that. I went with the basic half pound of brisket and slightly more adventurous brisket fried rice. The brisket was really good and juicy and paired well with the Pachuco's BBQ sauce, raw onions, and roasted chiles. The fried rice was really dry but still tasty. I will definitely visit again next time I find myself in Midland.

Got a recommendation from a local about BBQ in Midland. KD's was suggested. I needed to cater lunch…read morefor a business meeting for 10. I called in less than 24 hours ahead of time, and KD's sorted it out perfectly. 2 meat lunch for 10, with 2 sides to choose from a good selection plus beans, bread, tea, 2 cobblers, napkins, utensils, sugar, etc etc etc. literally everything included so I didn't have to do any legwork. Couple extra bucks for scoops and tongs, which is more than fair considering it only came out to 20$ per person. Food was ready and packaged when I arrived. Staff carried it all out. Rung me up quickly. Quality was very high. Brisket was excellent as well as German sausage. Damn good food. Cannot recommend enough.

Big mistake! I read the reviews on DoorDash and I decided not to order from them however, I went…read moreand read the reviews on Yelp and thought hey they're worth giving a try. The quantity of food for the price is not worth it. I got two pieces of brisket and one hot link on a two meat plate. The brisket was dry and didn't have any flavor to it whatsoever. You have to use the sauce to add flavor and I normally don't eat barbecue sauce. I'm glad I did order the spicy barbecue sauce because it was the best thing that they sent. The pinto beans did not have any flavor and they were cold. The coleslaw was. I can't even explain the taste but not like normal. Outside of the barbecue sauce being the best was the packaging. It was perfect and perfectly sealed. Try them at your own risk, but I would never order from them again.
