Harmond's BBQ in Cibolo is a must-stop for us and hands down one of the best BBQ spots in the area…read more We always order the three-meat plat, brisket, sausage, and chicken, and it never disappoints. The meats are flavorful, tender, and cooked exactly the way great Texas BBQ should be. Even our nephew, who visits from Germany, insists this be his last stop before heading back home, and for good reason. Both the meats and the sides are consistently delicious. Our go-to sides are the cream corn, green beans, and potato salad, and they pair perfectly with the BBQ. Whether you're passing through town or have lived here and somehow haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend stopping by. This place is worth it.

This place has always been great. I've gone here for years and love their sweet tangy bbq sauce…read more Every side I've had is tasty as well. This restaurant has really grown from its small humble beginnings and I'm here for it. Even though it has expanded, it has not lost one ounce of its rustic small town charm. This is the place to take your out of state friends to have some amazing Texas barbecue.

Food was okay... depending on who's cooking some dishes were salty: chicken katsu and Ka'lua pork…read more The garlic shrimp was also okay but the shrimp is not Kahuku shrimp. The beach bbq chicken was also okay but it definitely could improve. The macaroni salad and green salad were okay but need better packaging for takeout. Dining area is small and needs improvement... since I was planning to dine in but changed my mind as I entered. Ventilation needs improvement. The kitchen hoods were not adequately venting out the smoke which flowed into the dining area. Price-to-portion for each item was way off compared to what I get at the other Hawaiian restaurants... maybe their operating costs might be high... hope things improve. 2 stars for my first experience. I'll try again in a few months.

Next time I'd be tempted to get the sweet corn instead of the potato salad. I also ordered a sweet tea, which was GIANT and delicious lol. My bf got the pulled pork sandwich (always his fave item to get at any BBQ place), and it was a stand out! The pulled pork was so fatty and umami, I thought it had butter! I'd be tempted to order that myself next time. LOVED our server. She was so attentive and sweet! Ambiance is very casual.

Walking in we were greeted by the owner Orlando. Service was excellent, he went through the whole menu with us and gave us recommendations for our party size. We decided on the party platter or 6. It came with Brisket, pulled pork, chicken, corn, potato salad, beans and green beans. So much food and we still had some left over. All the meat was cooked to perfection. Steady flow of people coming in. I will definitely be back for more now that we have a little BBQ spot near us! If you are in the area stop by and give them a try!!

The fried chicken tender is actually very crispy! There were some pieces that didn't adhere to the tender, but still remained crispy. The fries had a great crisp to them. I got the texas hot spice level on the side just in case it was hotter than I'd like, but it was actually pretty nice. Service is good, with the person that took my order coming by with food and to clear the plate when done. The look of the place is rustic. Country music playing in the background and 4 TVs in total, but unfortunately playing all the same show. Good food, soul-ish more than it is BBQ, but delicious. Give it a go!

Quality has gone significantly down while prices have gone drastically up on the bbq…read more I no longer recommend this place for the food. The bar scene is still fabulous tho. Seems like they don't really care to provide quality food. It's always cold like it was heated up from the day before, they're skimpy with the meat & it just doesn't hit the same. Even the portions have gotten WAAAY smaller. Service is still great but definitely won't be spending money on their bbq anymore. Every time we go get food for probably the last 7-10 trips, it gets worse & worse. Really disappointing because this place used to be TOP NOTCH.

Caveat: we came in during an air show weekend and the restaurant had several orders from the air…read moreshow but I have to rate them on our experience not on circumstances. We arrived just as they opened. There was no one to greet us for the first few minutes. Finally, someone came out from the back to let us know that they were busy, which sounded strange since they had just opened, but when they explained about the air show it made sense. The music is loud but that's expected. It is a bar after all...that serves barbecue. We ordered at the bar and sat down. BWE and I shared the Chuckwagon Classic Plate, and we added 1/3 lb of brisket. My son had the same Classic Plate. We got the beans and fries as our sides. When our food was brought to us, the server didn't give us utensils. We had to ask her for them. The portions seemed small. The brisket was not hot. It was room temperature. The fries and beans were just okay. We were underwhelmed. This is Texas. Our expectations were high but we were disappointed. It could be that the order from the air show overwhelmed them and left them little strength to give attention to our order so I'll give them a little grace and give them two stars instead of one. We won't be back.

There was a musician singing and playing guitar, and he was really good, which made the atmosphere even better. The drinks were great and the food was even better. We ordered wings and a pizza and really enjoyed both. It also felt very family-friendly. There's a small play area just off the outside deck, and several kids were down there playing, which was nice to see. The highchairs can be a little hard to spot, but they do have them inside near the restrooms. Overall, it was a great experience and we'll definitely be coming back!

We had planned to have a few drinks before grabbing dinner but we didn't plan the timing correctly. No biggie...regardless, the food was pretty solid!

The fries were great and the dumplings complimented the drinks! My partner had a Moscato and I chose a beer flight. Overall the vibe was good. We just missed out on some live music as they were just wrapping up their set. Nevertheless, we will be better prepared next time!

I ordered the pulled pork combo with Mac and cheese on the side. My husband ordered the brisket plate with a side of Mac and cheese and potato salad and a Sweet tea. We also ordered and pulled pork combo to go for our son. To me the pulled pork was okay. I think it needed more bbq sauce maybe. It was hard to tell what it was missing. You do have to pay extra for extra bbq sauce. We got the sweet bbq sauce an it was okay. I wasn't a fan of the Mac and cheese, I felt it needed some seasoning. The potato salad was good. My husband got the brisket and said it was a little chewy. He didn't like sweet tea, and said it had a weird taste. The food wasn't bad, it's just I had high expectations because of the what I have heard about how good it was. However, I did go when it was about an hour to closing so maybe that had something to do with it. I might try it again.

We ordered a pound of moist brisket and a jalapeno sausage link and some drinks and were served promptly by the friendly staff. Since it was the middle of the afternoon they weren't busy but the place was clean and the staff was helpful. Now, the taste test. The brisket was hot, juicy, and very flavorful. The jalapeno sausage link was also spicy with great snap and it was quite tasty. Yes, we didn't get any sides but I don't go to a BBQ place to eat sides. I want to taste the MEAT and it was delicious and the star of the show. I'm not a big sauce guy either but their Rudy's sause IG good with a tangy flavor. While they may not be on the Texas Monthly list of top BBQ places, they put out a satisfying meal for the money and are veteran friendly offering a free meal when they sign up for their veterans club. The only drawback at this location is that the highway construction makes entry and exit tough. Good experience, we will be back!
