    Thao R.

    Stopped by Nueces in Corpus Christi and had a solid barbecue experience. We ordered the brisket, sausages, a side of elote, potato salad and everything was flavored just right. A few pieces of the brisket leaned a little dry, but nothing too bad. The space is very open with plenty of seating, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Overall, a great spot for BBQ. Loved that they had sauces, pickles and peppers that you can load up on as you please!

    Another really flavorful beer

    First things first, I'm a pescatarian and thus going into a traditional BBQ in Texas is probably not a great place for me and dinning... but who cares? They are also a brewery! The beers my wife had were very tasty and fresh. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The facility is nice, clean and pleasent to enjoy an adult beverage. The BBQ did smell amazing and they have the complete Texan condiment bar.

    What an amazing brewery. All of their beer selections are brewed in-house, and every one I tried was excellent. The bartender/server was an absolute gem--super friendly, conversational, and genuinely fun to talk to. I even ended up chatting with some locals, which really added to the vibe. The atmosphere is perfect for kicking back at the bar, enjoying great beer, and having good conversations. Good vibes all around. They also serve food; I didn't get a chance to try it, but plenty of people were ordering and everything coming out looked great. If you're in Corpus Christi and looking for a quality brewery experience, this is the spot. Easily the best one in town.

    2 meat and 2 sides $22 - turkey and brisket

    As always, I have to start my review with the fact that they have a 3% credit card surcharge. That's B.S. in my opinion - I'll leave it at that. We ordered the 2 meat and 2 sides for $22. It was turkey, brisket, potato salad, and mac & cheese. The beer selection is really good, but the bbq is just so-so. I'd go back, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. It's a fun place to hang out on a weekend afternoon - the 3% surcharge really turns me off though.

    Dry, dry ribs.

    If you want dry shitty ribs come here to eat. The service is pay at register and help yourself. The food dining area is big and open.

    A fun, casual bbq joint with a cashier to order drinks and food. The brisket tasted excellent with great, deep flavors and melt in your mouth texture. The bbq sauces were also top notch and one of my favorite perks about this restaurant. They bring the food out to you and they have decent sides that I really enjoyed. The green beans weren't smoothed in oil and the pinto beans were great. They had somewhat of a vinegar aftertaste so just keep that note if you are looking for more traditional pinto beans. Very dog friendly with an outdoor patio. Water and non-alcoholic drinks are serve yourself. Really liked their beer! To note: they charge a 3% fee for credit cards. I don't notice this until after I paid and looked at the receipt. I'm not a regular so it came as a surprise.

    Fall off the bone ribs, moistest brisket in town! Craft beer with seasonal options and unique flavor profiles! Owners are super fun and involved in our community! Great place for group gatherings! Fun events too! They just opened a spot in the airport as well!

    Brisket taco
    Ginger S.

    I had a taste for some BBQ and the brisket tacos definitely met expectations. This was a great experience. They had a car show and also a hot wings contest going on so it was really nice to just eat and enjoy the entertainment. The staff was very helpful with explaining their menu and drinks.

    Michelle S.

    We got the Brisket Nachos, and they were pretty good. Looks are a little deceiving because there were a ton of chips under all the toppings and by the time we got through the first half we didn't finish the rest because it was all chips. Still good, but not our favorite.

    Wing night  Wednesday

    Nice place to hangout with family and friends. Food and beers amazing. The wings were amazing. Sweet Bbq and Dry Rub pickle

    Condiment bar, self-serve drink station, and just a few of the cool pieces of art.

    This was our first time in Corpus Christi. In my trip planning, I used Yelp to research BBQ…read moreRestaurants for the best ones. This was my pick and we were not disappointed. We ordered beef ribs and baby backs ribs. My beef rib had the best flavor I have ever had! It could have had some more meat on it but the owner and I talked and we both know the butchers these days are cutting them a little to close. Next time I want the brisket because if the rib tasted this good I can't wait for the brisket. Our pork ribs on the other had were extra meaty. Tender and juicy. The atmosphere is just what I like in a classic but comfortable BBQ restaurant. On a hot rainy day, AC is much appreciated... Until my next visit, we look forward to returning.

    Decent BBQ but AWFUL customer service. I am not one to leave reviews, especially bad reviews. I…read morewant to support Small Businesses like this one but I have never experienced so many separate bad instances at a restaurant in less than an hour. We're from out of town and picked this place because of the 4.5 stars. The BBQ is tasty but this review is based on their service. We walked in at 2pm and this place closes at 3pm. The lady who took our order did not greet us & smile one time, and had attitude about our questions. I asked her twice if they had creamed corn and silence. It was hard to get an answer out of her. Ok, no big deal, we can get past that. We found a booth at the front, on the side, sat with our two kids- a toddler and a baby. Feed the baby while we waited for our food. Clearly we had our hands full and we were one of two tables there. They called my name, while my husband and I were trying to settle the kids. Three employees at the pick up area, and none brought our food. Could have been a small gesture that means a lot to parents. Ok, again, no big deal- that was just an observation. What really tipped us over was when one of the employees turned off the lights JUST on our side of the restaurant at 2:20pm when we had just started eating. It's already dark in this place with the lights on. She came by and said "you can leave everything there and we'll come get it when you're done" I asked her if the lights were going to stay off and she said "yeah that's what we do when start to close, but don't rush" No smile and said it as she walked away. Don't rush?! You just turned off the lights on our side of the room. You clearly want us out. I am not asking to roll out the red carpet but one smile and nice gesture would have turned things around. Would absolutely not recommend, the food is not worth the TERRIBLE service.

    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.
