The food was delicious!! The service was southern hospitality and family-friendly! The whole facility is super nice and seating is plentiful. The meat was the best - especially the jalapeño cheddar sausage. The brisket was juicy and tender and NOT over salted. I give it a 10/10. It's a wonderful addition to NB. read more

Terry Black's BBQ is real Texas BBQ the way it's supposed to be done. You see the wood-fired smokers as you walk through the front door, and you know you're in the right place. The brisket was perfect, and every side we tried--beans, potato salad, and coleslaw--was top-notch. Usually, there's at least one side that doesn't measure up to the others. Not here. Everything was excellent. Let's be honest: BBQ isn't inexpensive, so come prepared. Have you priced brisket at the grocery store lately? My advice is simply to be mindful of how you order. The sandwiches are generous, so you can get plenty of great BBQ without overdoing it. The service was just as impressive as the food. Every employee we encountered seemed genuinely happy to be there, and that kind of atmosphere makes the entire experience even better. Outstanding brisket, excellent sides, and service with a smile. This is Texas BBQ done right! read more

Today, my husband Ernie, our daughter Jennifer, and I decided to try Terry Black's BBQ for the first time today. (We've tried many different BBQ spots between California, Arizona, and Texas). This is the best Barbecue I've ever had! (And my family is from East Texas so I've grown up on good, Texas barbecue). The smoked brisket is phenomenal! It has that pink ring around the outside, the "bark" is well-seasoned & carmelized, and it just falls apart in your hands, especially if you ask for the burnt ends which tend to fall apart more. The smoked pork ribs are like eatin' barbecued candy! They have the most delicious flavor, perfectly seasoned, smoky & sweet. The jalapeño cheddar hot links have that perfect snap and just the perfect amount of heat-delicious! Tyler told us the sausage is a mix of about all their meats including their smoked turkey, brisket, and ribs. They're ground together in house. They also gave us a free sample of their smoked turkey breast, and it's also delicious-moist with a good smokey flavor. We never would've known how good the smoked turkey is had Bernard not given us a sample, it's good eatin'!! Bernard, Jaretzy & Tyler helped us today. They're truly so friendly and knowledgeable about their barbecue. We will definitely make this our go-to spot in New Braunfels, TX. read more

Had a really great experience at the newest Terry Black's. I got to try a little bit of everything -- brisket, ribs, sausage, and turkey -- and honestly enjoyed all of it. The brisket was flavorful and tender, the ribs were really good, the sausage had great flavor, and the turkey was surprisingly one of my favorites. As the holidays approach, I might have to get some for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I also tried pretty much all the sides: macaroni and cheese, potato salad, green beans, creamed corn, coleslaw, and jalapeños. Everything paired really well with the BBQ, and I liked being able to try so many different things instead of just sticking with one plain Jane plate. The service was outstanding as well. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and there was no long waiting, which made the experience even so much better. The atmosphere was great, the food came out fresh, and overall it was a really enjoyable experience. It can definitely add up depending on how much you order, but I felt like the quality and experience were well worth it. I can not wait to come back and definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for some good REAL Texas BBQ. Specifically this location! read more

We went to Terry Blacks after floating the river, which I feel was a great decision because we came hungry. The line wasn't too long and it went fairly quickly. We ordered the brisket and pork ribs for the meats and for the sides, we ordered corn, mac & cheese, and rice. For dessert we ordered the banana pudding. The meat was flavorful, but a little dry. The corn was amazing. I really liked the Mac and cheese but some people thought it wasn't cheesy enough. The banana pudding was so good. This is solid Texas bbq if you are hungry! read more

I visited this spot for dinner on my birthday Monday and feel fortunate to have a nearby place for excellent barbecue. I appreciate the interior design and the upstairs outdoor space, where the lights and plants enhance the patio service. The staff were accommodating, and the food remained consistently delicious. My beef rib was mouthwatering and melted in my mouth; it was truly great. The green beans were flavorful, vegan, and seasoned perfectly. The mac & cheese were acceptable, but I enjoyed the cream corn and will certainly return to this location repeatedly. read more

I got to experience this place (first time ever) through a Chamber function. I think all bbq is just okay, but holy moly everything here was fantastic!!! And there were hundreds of people there, so it's not like they perfected it for a small party. That says a lot to me if your quality is this amazing with such masses. The brisket, pork ribs, beef ribs, sausage and sides were to die for! I will definitely be back and I see why Terry Blacks is all the rage. The staff is also extremely friendly- Chick-fil-A has nothing on them! There is a lot of indoor seating as well as a covered outdoor balcony and outdoor patio, which is perfect for a nice day or if you have your dog or are right off the river. read more

Competition makes for a better product. Considering how many bbq places there are within 1 mile of this seems to prove the point. The sliced brisket was tender, juicy and flavorful. The only knock I have was the bun was not toasted although with the amount of meat on the sandwich I suspect most people will be eating it with a fork, the way I did. The wife thought the potato salad was ok, the smoked turkey was very good. They have three different sauces on the table. I tried them all and I can recommend the original and spicy versions. I think the sweet may be mustard based. They are huge and efficient at getting you your food quickly. We were in line for about 3 minutes on a busy day. Unlike other, highly regarded bbq joints, this one has several prep, weigh and pay stations so you can get in and on with your meal quickly. They should probably set up a second drink station as there was a bottleneck at the one they have now. It's loud inside. Partly because of the number of people and because of the loud music. It made it difficult to order. Lots of seating options, inside and out. read more

Pretty damn good!!! Best in NB by far. We were greeted by a young lady and she welcomed us, she was also working in the bar area. Very polite and friendly, that's a huge plus. Many restaurants here have failed terribly at their customer service, at Terry blacks it won us over. Everyone had a great attitude. Food was amazing, will definitely be going back! Customer service from entering the restaurant, ordering our food was definitely 100% Ordered pork ribs very tasty and seasoned well. Good quality meats! Chopped brisket sandwich extremely tender and one of the best I've had. Sides were good and fresh. read more

We tried these guys out and was a great experience! Food was great! The beef ribs fell off the bone and was very tasty as well as the Brisket. I'd have to give it to the beef rib though as my favorite. The sides we really good as well. Dessert was pretty yummy! I had the banana pudding and my father in-law had the peach cobbler. Both were outstanding! Service all though self serve we did have a employee checking on us to see if there was anything we needed. There is plenty of seating inside and outside with a upper floor which was nice. The upper floor looks out over the shopping center and had a nice breeze. These guys are just starting up and already doing a great job! Employees are all very nice and welcoming. Lots to choose from so head on down and check them out. Was a nice treat! read more

We tried just about everything and it was incredible. You really can't go wrong with anything here and it's such a beautiful location. Some of the items pictured is creamed corn, jalapeño cheddar sausage, brisket, pork ribs, beef rib, banana pudding and more. Can't wait to come back. read more

We are visiting from out of state and decided to do The Terry Black's BBQ Experience. We were greeted by Amaryllis when we arrived. She was adorable and friendly and checked on us multiple times while we were there. All the staff were truly amazing. Cam and Amelia guided us from start to finish and made sure we wanted for nothing. Cam showed us around the pits with the glorious smoking meats and introduced us to Jacob, one of the pit masters. Jacob was very knowledgeable and provided us with details around the smoking process that is truly a labor of love and something he adores doing. All of the meats and sides were mouth watering! And the peach cobbler with ice cream was a perfect end to the meal! We have many leftovers that we will surely enjoy tomorrow and the next day. Definitely worth the trip!! read more

I have to say when we walked in, it was beautiful. I like the layout, I like that you can see them smoking the meat, I like the greenery everywhere and I definitely like the way you order. You pick your sides first, then meat. Everyone was super friendly and very helpful. We aren't huge bbq people so I don't know what's good, what an expectation for it is but this place exceeded every bar I had for it. I loved the light smoke on the meat where you could still enjoy the actual meat flavor. Ribs fell off the bone, turkey was super moist, brisket was perfection and the jalapeño sausage is something I'll be dreaming about. Every side we had was delicious. Green beans were still crunchy, Mac and cheese was creamy and kind sharp on the cheesiness, the banana pudding was 10/10. Honestly if I could afford to eat here everyday I would. This plate was about $90 which is expensive for my family so sadly we'd probably end up elsewhere but man this meal was really good. read more

Best bbq I've had in a LONG time. Brisket was nice and tender. The beef ribs....I could eat that every day. Even the sides were FANTASTIC- the mac and cheese, potato salad, coleslaw...can't go wrong with any of the sides. I can see why people say Terry Black's is one of the best. Long lines to order but it moves quickly! You order the sides first before proceeding to the counter. When we were leaving, the employees manning the smokers saw us taking pictures and invited us in to see the process. Even though it was so hot, they took time to explain to us their 72 hour smoking process. It's clear to us that making bbq is a labor of love for them, and we were thankful they took time to explain the process. I will say this location is a lot better than the Austin location! Next time, we will drive specifically to this location. read more

I was so excited to try Terry Blacks, because I love bar b q. Am sorry to say that am beyond disappointed. The brisket was dry and had a salty rim, the turkey had a bird/poultry taste, the Mexican rice was mushy, the Mac and cheese tasted like elbows and melted velvetta cheese. The potatoes salad had an eggy aftertaste, the big red bourbon was extremely sweet, but the most absolute let down was the 80 dollar Dino rib. It was so fatty and the meat it self was not seasoned and it was dry. I expected it to fall off the bone . The only good items were the cornbread and the black margarita. We will not be coming back again. read more

Yep. Just as amazing as the one in Lockhart. Terry Black's is my favorite BBQ in Texas, hands down. It's just my favorite flavor. Favorite everything. I get brisket and chopped brisket and for sides, I get potato salad and coleslaw. They are both fresh and bright tasting. Perfect. I'm gluten-intolerant, so I don't venture out into all the sides, but every time I've gone with others, they rave about the rest. This location opened very recently, and the management ain't playing. They are on it. They have plenty of staff, and I felt very looked after. People walking around checking to see if I need anything. My tray got bussed right away. I am thrilled with the indoor and the outdoor areas. This was well planned and my friends and I are exited to enjoy it more when the weather cools off. One of my favorite things about Terry Black's is the menu notes clearly what's gluten-free and what is not. I don't have to ask a bunch of questions. I also appreciate that I have several choices that are gluten-free. I'm not just relegated to a sad little salad. Parking should be fine because a lot of the businesses that share the parking lot are closed at night. Great location. read more

Fantastic place, this is now my favorite place to eat in New Braunfels. Nick and Amelia were amazing. They were both incredibly kind and knowledgeable. The food was wonderful, and cut especially well. Derrick and Jeremy gave us a great pit tour, opening up the pit and showing us briskets that looked great at 7 hours into a 12 cook. The layout of the restaurant was absolutely beautiful and I especially enjoyed all of the well considered landscaping. Great restaurant, great business, great bbq. I will definitely be back next time I come through New Braunsfels. read more

Been a Texan my entire life, and I've NEVER had brisket as good as Terry Black's! I'm a lean cut person and it's just phenomenal! We tried the green beans, coleslaw, beans, potato salad, and cornbread. The green beans are so good! My dad ordered pork ribs and the meat was falling off the bone. The turkey was good, not a ton of smoke flavor, but moist. The staff was super friendly, and we talked with DL at length, and even offered some feedback. He was open to it all of it. Fantastic experience! We will be back, 100%! Sorry I didn't take pics! read more

I LOVE IT HERE. The staff was so kind & helpful. The brisket is truly KING my mom could NOT get enough of the turkey. My niece loved the chocolate pudding. Overall experience...it was so friendly and the food was so fresh. Terry Blacks = Happy Place. read more

We had a great experience today food and service was amazing. Ashley was also very attentive and welcoming making us feel very welcomed. We will definitely be back . read more

ALL the food was delicious. The Dino beef rib was huge and tender. The brisket was moist and tasty. I know "my ribs" and theirs were succulent and ready to drop off the bone. The wurst recipe reminds me of the sausage I had in my youth...the best! The sides were great...beans, coleslaw and the banana pudding...yummmm. The service both during ordering and while seated would be hard to beat. The decorum was very pleasing depicting the culture of New Braunfels. I especially liked the coziness of the seating arrangement...booths. read more

I was a little skeptical as we frequent the Barton Springs location, but I was 100% thrilled with our visit. The Brisket was tender juicy with a nice bark, ribs were fall off the bone delicious, the sides were great and the new building was spectacular... we live in NBTX and this will a new regular spot for us! read more

Having been to (and disappointed by) the Original Black's, we honestly weren't expecting too much. But we were pleasantly surprised at just how good the food is! The brisket was sheer perfection, juicy & falling apart with such great flavor. The pork ribs were perfectly seasoned & falling off the bone delicious. And the service far exceeded our expectations, especially Oscar & DL. We'll absolutely be back! Love that all the meats are gluten-free as well as many of the sides. Honestly, the best BBQ we've ever had! read more

Top notch hospitality. Loved the pit tour. Food was great! Love the jalapeño cheddar sausage, turkey, and green beans!

Good food, great location, and friendly staff. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

Before we even walked in the door the gentlemen outside smoking the meat made a point to welcome us in. You order your food cafeteria style like most BBQ restaurants and every server was polite and kind. Restaurant was clean with plenty of seating. We really enjoyed everything we ordered. Both the brisket and rib were juicy and smoked just right, no smoky indigestion afterwards which often happens to me with BBQ. Honestly loved all 3 of our sides, with the beans probably being my favorite. Cream corn and Mac were both creamy and not overcooked or dried out. Can't wait to go back! read more

Terry Black's Barbecue - 1lb of brisket, beef rib, cream corn, beans, and Mac and cheese. - Barbeque Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

Brisket cap was moist & delicious taste. Pork rib MEATY, tender & good taste accompanying Honey BBQ Sauce very good. Regular link sausage was good as well. Give the meat an A rating. Green beans no taste, cream corn different & did not like it. Husband liked pinto beans & potato salad ... Need a decent Signature (regular) BBQ Sauce, all those other sauces just NO. Giving a 3 star just for brisket cap & pork rib. The rest NOT FOR ME.. read more

Been twice now. Very enjoyable. The only things I didn't care for were the brisket beans and the awful bbq sauces stationed at the tables. Friendly staff. Tyler kept everyone happy while workin the floor. Otherwise great. read more

spent 100 bucks on a beef rib and a half pound of brisket just for it to be dry as hell. Rudy's is 10x better.

Hands down best BBQ and dining experience around! Customer service was top notch and the food was even better! I highly recommend the mac n cheese and creamed corn as sides and the moist brisket as a main dish. The smoked turkey is unlike any other I've had. read more

Prices are insane. Lunch for one, three pork ribs, single pinto beans, single cornbread muffin, $41.00

Spent 75 dollars on 1 beef rib and some brisket which would have been fine if the rib had any flavor. Service wasn't bad and the environment is nice but food is overpriced and wasn't that great. read more

Amazing bbq and service. They did a great job on the remodel and have an awesome looking restaurant to eat at.

Well, I really enjoyed the baked beans and the cream corn, the meat actually left a lot to be desired. And the cost was very high. The jalapeño sausage had a very soft texture, almost like it was processed too much. The pork ribs were overcooked on the outside, which I find surprising. As the inside had more than 50% fat. It was also very chewy since it was overcooked. And it was very salty. The brisket was the same way as it was overcooked and extremely salty. And for 1 pound of meat it was over $80 with two sides, one iced tea and one beer. The ambience is very nice but the price and the quality of the food just was not up to standard. read more
