I greatly enjoyed my meal at Mumphord's Place! As a new visitor to Victoria I was excited to receive multiple recommendations from locals along with stellar reviews on Google and Yelp for a good BBQ restaurant. Located on the older side of town a block past DeTar Navarro Hospital on a corner. Don't judge it by the outside, it's inside an older building, I knew I was there from the smell of the Bbq cooking in the air. Inside was cheerful clean and filled with picnic and smaller tables, seat yourself. You place your order at the counter and they bring it out to your table. The gentleman taking my order was friendly and welcoming. Turns out he was the owner! In 3 minutes a sweet young lady was bringing me my food and utensils. They have all of the meats plus all the homemade sides one would wish to order! I went with the two meats (ribs and brisket) accompanied by potato salad and green beans, with banana pudding for dessert later. It's not a full service restaurant but I was checked on and looked after multiple times by servers. Nice big generous helpings. This meal was heavenly, sides like your Memaw would make for family and moist and meaty ribs and brisket, seasoned and cooked perfectly...no salt or pepper needed here, just a little of their delicious sauce! My mouth is watering as I recall it! I will visit them again every time I get to Victoria! Wish I could take them home with me. read more

I was expecting great things based on a lot of the reviews. What I got was just ok. Super nice people. Rustic place but pretty clean. I got brisket and sausage with a double order of green beans. The green beans were the star if the show. Nicely seasoned with a bit of a fresh garlic flavor. Good. The brisket was a bit dry and not very flavorful and the sausage was fair. This may have not been the norm but I cant say I'd eat here again. read more

Mumphord's Place BBQ - Brisket and sausage combo. - Barbeque Near Me - Victoria, Texas

Mumphord's is the go-to place in Victoria for BBQ. The "old family" atmosphere is amazing with great service and very friendly servers. The building isn't fancy, but reminds me of an old farm kitchen and it just seems right for the type of food served. Anytime we want good bbq, it's off to Mumphord's we go!! read more

Great brisket! Had the brisket sandwich. A lot of meat. Highly recommended! Family owned! Friendly atmosphere!

Come here on the recommendation of a couple of friends. Glad I did!! Great service. Everyone was very friendly. Ordered the 3 meat plate because I couldn't decide. Everything was very good and flavorful. I love homemade banana pudding but I hate getting "homemade " that someone adds nilla wafers to canned pudding. When asked about their pudding they assured me it was homemade pointing to a lady in the kitchen. It was definitely the real deal! Delicious banana pudding. I plan on returning next time I'm in town. Thanks for great food! read more

Came in 15 mins before closing and the staff was extremely friendly. Best bbq I have have since I have been in Texas! Will be coming here every time i am in Victoria prices also very very reasonable read more

BBQ was delicious. Loved the green beans- lots of flavor. Bbq sauce and potato salad a little sweet for my liking but still ate it all! The lemon cake was so moist and delicious! Placed was packed but we were served in less than 10 minutes! Loved the old town feel. read more

Went to Mumfords after several recommendations. They did not disappoint. I was met with the smell of smoke when I parked. I had to visit the pit area I. The back where Joe and the crew showed me the variety of meats getting smoked. Went inside and could not decide what meats I wanted. I am mainly vegetarian so I asked to devise a Dr. Smith sample plate (one rib, slice of brisket and one of turkey, one piece of chicken and two slices of sausage). The lady at the register said that would be a four meat plate but I didn't want several pieces of each so I settled for ribs and brisket. Ribs were fall of the bone and smoky. The brisket was tender and flavorful. The beans and potato salad were delicious with a hint of sweetness. The bread was soft and fluffy. Then in the middle of my meal the lady from the register approached holding go a piece of paper with a slice of turkey and sausage. The Dr. Smith Sample Plate was born! I was fortunate to meet the family members who run the place. They were as advertised. The nicest, friendliest and genuine people who have been serving the community in ways other than providing good food. I found out they have been having family reunions since 1904! Incredible place with incredible people serving incredible food. Met a lady in the parking lot who drives 30 miles for their BBQ. That tells you something. I can't wait to go back. read more

Just ok. Ribs were kinda dry. Chicken was awesome. Potato salad was just....strange. Tastes like it has a ton of sugar in it. I've never had potato salad like that. It was pretty disgusting to be honest. Their bbq sauce is legit though. Update: it made us super sick. Like all day. It was the only thing we ate that day so I'm sure it was that. My husband had chopped beef and sausage and I had chicken and ribs. So it's strange that both of us got sick off two different things. read more

My sausage was delicious. So were my green beans and the slaw and the home-made cake. The whole family was there working the kitchen. A self-service kind of a place, the lady with my plate insisted on carrying it to my seat. A down-home place. Many of the customers knew each other and the staff. I even saw somebody I encounter in my work duties. My coworkers recommended this place and I'm glad that I took their advice. The inside walls are covered with photos and their travel souvenirs. Highly recommended. read more

Their sauce is something special. I always look forward to having their brisket. It is so good.

My husband and I have moved from Victoria, TX, and one of the things we will miss most is Mumphord's. This little barbecue place immediately drew us in. The food is amazing, from the chopped brisket sandwiches to the smoked turkey plate. The brisket is tender, the sauce is just right, and there are no bites of fat, which would turn me off every time. And the turkey. It is fresh and tender and makes a great sandwich or entree. At lunchtime, diners meet the spectrum of citizens who make up Victoria. The staff is all Mumphord family, and they get to know their regulars. We felt at home there. The decor is abundant and personal. Some may see it as clutter, but the Mumphord family has been very involved, often giving back to their community, and over the years they have collected all kinds of pictures, accolades and gifts, which they enjoy sharing with their customers. We might call it a dive, which is the kind of place we prefer, because we often find great food and people there. read more

Friendly service, great barbecue, and an historic location. Loved the brisket, ribs, and potato salad! Amazing find!

Great food and friendly owners make this place our go to BBQ place in Victoria. The building is kinda old, but just the kind of place that servers up delicious food. read more

The service is phenomenal, you are greeted upon entry and everyone is very friendly. I ordered a Two Meat Plate and chose brisket and ribs. The ribs are tender and crispy, you barely need the sauce. The sauce is a sweeter bbq sauce but I love it. The brisket was also tender and had great flavor. I chose the potato salad and slaw but next time I will try the greens. The other patrons and my coworkers raved about them. Also, the banana pudding was so delicious, definitely try it! The restroom was clean as was the restaurant. There is a lot of memorabilia throughout. I recommend sitting close to the zapper, as you are close to the coast and it is very humid. I will definitely return if I'm in the area. read more

Mumphord's Place BBQ - Brisket and Rib 2 meat plate - Barbeque Near Me - Victoria, Texas

The brisket was tough and had hardly any flavor and the smoke ring was barely visible. The service staff however were excellent and friendly. The banana pudding was great. The building is old and somewhat cluttered but clean. Maybe we went on a bad day but it was a Friday evening so we figured they would be at the top of their game. I hate to say it but I have had way better brisket at other locations around south Texas. read more

The meat...no smoke, no flavor, no thanks. The beans and green beans were good and so was the service but disappointed in the meat which was the main reason we went. read more

I researched Mumford's Place before moving to Victoria a couple of weeks ago. My plan was to settle in, then order their five-meat combo plate to try everything. My cousin Rocc and I made the trip down from Hobby, and when we arrived at my Aunt Lita's, I was shocked to find half the restaurant already laid out on her stove! Grinning and talking smack as usual, she said, "Well, you know I had to feed you." She'd beat me to it, and I couldn't be happier. What an honor it was to experience some of the most celebrated barbecue in South Texas--this national treasure lives up to every bit of its reputation. I tasted ribs, brisket, sausage, green beans, and potato salad. Though they offer sauce, Texas barbecue rarely needs it--and Mumford's certainly doesn't. Each bite was packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. This food is so good, you could easily eat it every day, though gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins. Mumford's is a true gem, deserving of all the praise it has received. With such immaculate barbecue, please support this long-standing, family-owned establishment. I highly recommend it. read more

This is slap your mamma good BBQ. The parking isn't great, the outside doesn't look great, the inside has a bit of a garage sale feel to it, but the people working there are welcoming, helpful, friendly, and well qualified to be selling BBQ in Texas. Yowsers! I only wish we were in town more than just that one night. I had the brisket which was meaty and tender. I had the ribs which were delicious. I also had the sausage which was perfect on texture and spices. Their sauce was perfect to my liking without being too sweet or trying to be something it isn't. read more

Food is really good and prices are great! The staff and owners are very friendly and humble.

I worked with Keith Mumphord for several months to cater a family reunion. I live in California and we spoke over the phone and email to get the menu set and get a quote. The event happened and we loved their service and delicious food. We got brisket, chicken, pinto beans, potato salad and tea. He was a pleasure to work with. Hope to get back there again. read more

Mumphord's Place BBQ - T-shirt - Barbeque Near Me - Victoria, Texas

Best BBQ in Victoria. I love their chopped beef sandwiches and the BBQ sauce is amazing!!

The people working here are very nice. It's a drive through bbq restaurant. Deft first of its kind I have experienced. Maybe it's bc of corona virus. Very nice people. They are very fast as well. We didn't wait long. So great job at Opertaions. You are all doing great! Food: the ribs are the winner here! Amazing ribs! Full of flavor and very tasty. Really enjoyed the ribs. The sausage was pretty good. Their bbq sauce is absolutely amazing! The potato salad was really good too! The brisket was kind of a let down. Not your traditional texas bbq brisket. It was kind of dry and sliced like in long cuts. Not a fan of the brisket at all. The ribs however are amazing! Also the price is great! 3 meat plate for 12.50 is unheard of for bbq! Absolutely great deal on the price. Just improve the brisket and you get five stars from me. I would definitely go back and give them another shot. read more

Last time I went to eat there was in 2016 and they had a huge Hillary Clinton sign out in front of their business. They need to concentrate.on their food not politics. I don't care how good the bbq is I'll never go there again and I'm not the only one. read more
