Fall off the bone and an odd sweetness that made it easy to get lost in them. The smoked tamale with brisket and ancho cream sauce?? Stop!! So good! The cheddar cheese stuffed sausage? The cheddar cheese they use was FUNKY in a stinky locker room way that kept pulling me in again, bold and delicious. The Cuban pulled pork tacos? Juicy and savory with an orange and lime kick, with a tortilla that was thin, fresh, and stretchy. It's a good thing I ate the dry rub rib first because I it was perfect... fall off the bone and well seasoned. 10/10 Everything was amazing and then when they give you the Blue Bell ice cream cup with sprinkles at the end it's the cherry on top of happiness. So worth the drive!

Super moist brisket, juicy pork belly and sweet glazed ribs plus a side of smoky Mac and cheese and…read morejalapeño cream corn gave us happy tummies on our drive back from Corpus to Houston. Definitely worth the stop! Spent about $75 for our meal for 2 adults + 1 kid (with some leftovers) so not cheap but it's good! Sides: The cream corn wasn't really spicy but just had the jalapeño flavor. Corn bread was on the crumbly dry side but good. Potato salad was typical. Meats: The meats were the best part with excellent quality and melt in your mouth. They also had good sauces with my favorite being the Texas gold with more of a mustard flavor. Service: very helpful in bringing us our food and getting me a high chair for baby and wiping it down again. Bathroom is surprisingly clean and is detached from the building in a separate area.

Prices are fair and the portions are, true to their name, "Big Boys" portions. We had a brisket and pulled pork plate with green beans and baked beans. Most restaurants in this region fall very short in the area of flavorful food with good seasoning, but not Big Boys BBQ! Their meats AND their sides are seasoned right and are very flavorful! That alone is deserving of five stars, but the service is excellent as well and the people are so friendly.

First time trying RNC BBQ -- I've done the Victoria BBQ circuit (Mumford's, Uncle Mutt's, etc.), so…read moreI had to see what all the talk was about. Everyone kept saying "get the loaded potato," but I went for the three-meat plate instead: brisket, sausage, and ribs with potato salad and green beans. The food? Huge portions, fresh, and hot -- you're not leaving hungry. The sausage? Absolute standout. Best I've had in Victoria from a BBQ joint since Mumford's. Brisket was solid, ribs were good, sides hit the comfort zone. If Mumford's is the refined classic and Uncle Mutt's is the hometown hug, RNC is the solid weekend warrior -- generous, smoky, and worth the repeat. I'll definitely be back, maybe next time for that famous potato. Final verdict: 4 out of 5 -- strong showing, great sausage, and good vibes.

After discussing options, we offered the brisket nachos and bbq brisket sandwiches. They were accommodating to some of condiment requests that they don't normally offer as well. The day of the party, they arrived and went straight to work taking everyone's orders. The workers were friendly and efficient, and the food was top tier. We had plenty of compliments on the food and my girly was happy.

Each person on the staff was a young Anglo man in his teens or early twenties. One of them was brand new.
