    Brisket with a little too much fat.
    Malikai M.

    I had eaten here once before and really enjoyed it. I was craving bbq and decided to drive from the island to Mr. G's. The restaraunt was not busy at all except for two other tables. I ordered the mixed plate which was 2 meats, potato salad, beans and trimmings. The waiter brought me sweet tea which was very delicious and refreshing. I ordered double brisket and sausage. The waiter never brought me cheese and crackers which I remember eating the last time. I finished my tea and had to call the waiter for a refill. I noticed the people next to me were eating crackers with cheese, so I asked the waiter for some. He replied that they were only available after 4 p.m. and it was 3:45 but said he would bring some. Well he never brought my crackers and brought my food. I did not know because the waiter did not ask me but you can order marble or lean brisket, only found out because I heard him ask a different table. The food was ok but not worth the 15.00. I had two good size slices of brisket but half of each slice was all fat. The other side was ok but a little dry. I had to ask the waiter for bread, napkins and silverware. The waiter never came back to ask if we needed anything. As I was paying, the cashier did ask how everything was and I told her that I had better experiences. She then asked what was wrong but I told her that it was ok and that I would write my review on yelp. Not sure if the waiter who was an older gentleman was having a bad day, but he really made my experience so bad that I will never return. Update: came back a second time and still did not like it. Brisket tasted like it was made in an oven. Also, they do not trim the fat. So if you order stringy beef, be prepared to get about 1/2 of the slice with fat. No smoke ring on brisket either. Would definitely recommend Cottens bbq any day!

    Super friendly and welcoming staff! I got the brisket burger and it was THE BEST burger I've had in a really long time! The Beans were bomb and very well seasoned! I'd like to think I'm a BBQ connoisseur, and I Highly recommend Mr.G's.

    Stopped in here on a whim. Had the brisket and sausage plate. Brisket was good. Sausage was great. It is hand twisted in house. Portions are typical for the price. Comes with potato salad and beans along with a pickle spear and a slice of jalapeño. Overall was a great stop and would come back

    This is how South Texas BBQ is done!  Excellent!  Joe would be proud!

    Best brisket...stringy end pieces, of course. Green beans on point. Joe C would be proud.

    Rustic look but really clean. Great food closest to Cotton's I've seen

    Really good I saw it on kitchen cops last night and they had a score of 100. The food is excellent and I will be back

    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.

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!!

We…read morewere seated shortly after arriving, and our waiter was attentive throughout most of the evening. However, service lacked toward the end of our visit. Since it was our first time dining at Republic of Texas, we were unsure of the checkout process. Our server mentioned that we could charge the bill to our room, but we wanted to leave him a generous cash tip. Unfortunately, he walked by our table several times without acknowledging us, and we waited over 20 minutes before I finally had to get up and practically head toward the kitchen to give him our payment and tip. We still left a 20% tip because we understand how busy Saturday nights can be, but when guests are sitting there with to-go bags, it only takes a few seconds to check on them and see what they need. That was our only disappointment, and although it was frustrating, I would not take any stars away because of it. We ordered the Bison Steak, Ribeye, baked potato, au gratin potatoes, quail knots, scallop appetizer, crème brûlée, bread pudding, and bread. Everything came out hot, fresh, and delicious. I ordered a white russian and my husband ordered one of their signature drinks, both were tasty. Our bill was $312 for 2 cocktails, 2 appetizers, 2 steaks, 2 sides, 2 desserts. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely return if we are ever back in the area.
