This is your brisket dinner plate. Grew up in Texas and I will tell you this is the most dry flavorless brisket I've ever had. I should've just smoked my own instead of trying this dreadful place. If Lavaca is open when you come to Victoria, skip this place! read more

Uncle Mutt's Bar-B-Q - Brisket Dinner plate - Barbeque Near Me - Victoria, Texas

Really, the food was good. My sausage was good. Some of the steam table vegetables looked iffy, but what I personally got was good. Each person on the staff was a young Anglo man in his teens or early twenties. One of them was brand new. The prices were high, and if you wanted a refill on your drink you had to contribute to the staff's scholarship fund. The place was a drag. Fox News on the TV. The decorations on the walls were all illustrations of money. read more

Delicious chopped beef sandwich & sliced bbq sandwich . The sliced beef sandwich was seasoned well and tender . so glad we stopped on our way through the town. should be a 5 star review overall not a 3. If you're in the area stop by and try for yourself you won't be disappointed. read more

Brisket is good, sausage is good and mashed potatoes. Stay away from the pinto beans. Other than that fare price

Easily one of my favorite BBQ spots in my new hometown.My aunt and I crashed the drive thru on our way home from Walmart last Friday. We ordered two rib combos and a couple of sides. I ordered the rib/sausage combo with green beans and black eyed peas. Lita ordered a pound of ribs with a pint of grilled potatoes. The style,texture,and taste of this establishment's ribs should be celebrated on an international level.They were cooked and seasoned to perfection - perhaps some of the best commercial ribs I have ever and will ever have.The sausage was juicy and flavorful, without a single hint of greasiness.The green beans were delicious and the black eye peas absolutely perfect. Uncle Mutts is not a game - and proudly represents premier Texas barbecue. Five stars, I highly highly recommend and can't wait to hit them up again. Check out their Thanksgiving dinner bundle. read more

Amazing service and awesome food.... This was our first time and Jason was a fantastic help. He recommended the best and talked us through everything. Answered all our questions. His customer service was top notch! We are definitely going back and hopefully he's working again. Food had so much flavor and the portions were generous. read more

Passing through Victoria and thought I'd give it a try. Ordered the poor boys plus plate. Came with two sides. Potato salad was decent, it tasted like food service potato salad, the cabbage was boiled and just ok. The sandwich had brisket and a small amount of sliced sausage. Price was high for the meal. $14 and change. Presentation was not bad. No harm no foul. read more

The inside is closed due to COVID but the drive through is super fast. It went way faster and quicker than I expected. We had heard about the fried sweet corn, so we came for that. It was DELICIOUS... like addicting delicious. You have to get some fried sweet corn at Uncle Mutt's. I have no idea about their BBQ, but the sweet corn is AMAZING. read more

If I could give LESS than one star this place would get it! I don't know how a December 6, 2021 review can be so gushing about what great "Texas BBQ" this place has when yesterday, December 7, 20021, I got the most foul, nastiest crap I've ever overpaid for! Not food poisoning bad, just gosh awful nasty! Some kind of weird taste and smell like they had started and repeatedly doused their BBQ wood with diesel! I later passed wood piles burning out in the country that smelled exactly like what this mess smelled/tasted like! Needless to say, one greasy bite of black, instead of remotely red, chopped beef was subsequently spit out and 2 overpriced sandwiches were literally thrown out on the side of the road for the animals to eat! I used to stop here and never EVER had food this nasty...I Won't be stopping again! Bill Miller is better than Mutt's! read more

The employees are extremely friendly and helpful. The BBQ was very good. I will recommend this place. read more

I am always disappointed when I eat at this establishment. My last time was my last time. Sadly, their prices are too high and the quality of their food is low. The food is always too cold. read more

A group of us made a stop here looking for some good BBQ. This place was worth the price! Brisket was very tender and juicy. Turkey was moist and the Ribs..OMG! You didn't have to fight to pull the meat! That's how good the food was! Great staff and very friendly. We just bookmarked this place as our go to BBQ place when driving through Victoria! read more

Went to Uncle Mutts today as part of our Great Coastal Texas Barbecue Trail adventure, and with two receipts you get a T-Shirt. I ordered a two meat platter, Babyback Ribs & sausauge with coal slaw and beans. My Wife had a two meat platter Brisket & Sausauge with cole slaw and beans. The Sausauge and Brisket were very good as well as the cole slaw. Beans were a little light on the flavor and the Ribs, while tender were very fatty and did not have a good taste. While I sometimes like a T,V. on when I am eating please keep it to sports or shows. The newscast that was playing was annoying. With plenty of Barbecue options in the Crossroads I will probably not go back. read more

With a name like uncle mutts I had to assume it stayed in business this long because the food was just that good, and that may have been true at one time. But it looks like a place that had good food but fell apart from bad management. Too bad, it has great potential. The quality of the meat was good, like other reviewers said its either burnt or undercooked, mine was stone cold and undercooked. The fried sweet corn was very good 3 teen boys working the place, they were nice but, they were teen boys... The place was very dirty and wow outdated. Mold on the ceiling, table dirty dead bugs on the windowsill.... My advice to the owner, gut the place, doesn't have to be fancy just clean and from this decade, get a professional manager, preferably a woman, with OCD. Wish you luck. read more

This is the kind of place that when you walk in asked one of the best questions that can be asked in a bbq joint. I ordered a sliced brisket sandwich, " lean or marbled?" Truly an important question and one that all to often is ignored and the wonderful fat is thrown away. Awesome sandwich and corn nuggets with mashed potatoes read more

Uncle Mutt's Bar-B-Q - Sliced brisket sandwich, off the marbled end! - Barbeque Near Me - Victoria, Texas

Nearly $20 for a brisket plate and tea? Not nearly a large enough portion for the price. The brisket was tough, with not much flavor; the beans and potato salad were below average, at best. Haven't been here in a while - now I remember why. Not impressed. read more

I don't make it Victoria that often so I called a coworker and asked where to eat and they suggested Uncle Mutts. The service is 5 star Mike the meat cutter is fantastic. I got the two meat plate the portions are very big and the food is very good. read more

I personally don't like it. The brisket is too smoky. And a bit dry. The ribs were as well. I just really didn't like the flavor at all. And it was kind of pricey. BF thought it was okay, not the best, but decent. So I decided to give 3 stars instead of 2. If you have the choice, go to Mumphord's! Cheap and best BBQ around. read more

Not our first choice after reading reviews but glad we found it. The Limon's Corral place was it but they were out of ribs of a Friday evening. We got the Uncle Mutt's 3 meat and a half rack of ribs. Green beans and the potatoes were the sides of choice. We always feel when in Texas, BBQ "WILL" be on the dining playlist. I mean really, it's Texas ! So we ordered the ribs, sausage, and chopped beef. Ribs are always our go to meat and the standard. The ribs surpassed the standard. The sausage was also excellent. Sometimes the sausage at BBQ restaurants is just blah. We wanted some pulled pork but are starting to feel pork butt just isn't on the menu down here. For our third meat we got chopped beef. It was mixed with some kind of sauce. This was the only thing that disappointed us. Just had that funny taste as described in previous post. I even slopped some on a slice of bread with lots of sauce and that didn't help. So wrapping the meats up, ribs two thumbs up. Sausage two thumbs up. Chopped beef two thumbs down. But hey, you might love it. Forgot about the sliced brisket. Yum. Tender and juicy and able to be cut with my plastic spoon. Nice flavor and a pretty smoke ring. Sauce and sides; potatoes were good according to my wife and she likes here taters. She also had green beans which she said were great. But hey, they had bacon in them! How can you go wrong? The staff was very nice and helpful and the place appeared clean. We did our normal "para llevar" back to our hotel room. I'm having a few ribs for breakfast as I hope I help you make an informed decision. read more

Went her on the Coastal BBQ trail tour. Vibe of place is weird (closed restaurant from 80s). BUT food was great and staff was super friendly. The brisket and sausage was excellent. Asked us how we wanted brisket (lean, moist, medium) which told us they knew their stuff. Sauce is meh. But given quality of meat, not sure it matters. Would go back. read more

excellent food and service. make sure to go early if u want ribs cause they sell out fast. Best chop sandwich within 100 miles!!!

Good stuff. So I am not sure if it is because I have been out of state for a while or not. I did go to Jr. High and High School in Victoria, many years ago. At the time, it was not really a BBQ kind of town. When I traveled back to visit family, I just remembered Uncle Mutt's as being boring and dry. On this last trip however, I was very pleased with what we were served. The Brisket was just off the smoker, hot, juicy great ring and bark. It was great. The sausage, which we had to wait a few minutes for, was also great. Nice and peppery. Seemed either hime made or of the 'hill country' varity. it was not a 'hillshire farms' link. This was much better. So I am not sure if, as is with BBQ in general, the other folks came at the wrong time or not and just got a bad slice. Or maybe they are inclined to compare Uncle Mutt's to the Salt Lick, Snows or the City Market. It is none of these above. But, UM is in Victoria and it is solid Q. BTW, they have great specials. read more

OMGoodness. We all expect good...no, great BBQ from a Texas BBQ place, BUT.......... Do NOT miss out on the EPIC dirty rice. Clearly, the best dirty rice I've ever EVER had. Great sides and the friendliest staff. Perfect place to stop and fill your belly! read more

I went yesterday to get my Easter Sunday lunch. I went to warm up the brisket that I bought for today. I was so upset when all I saw were scraps. I wish they would have said that they ran out so I could have gone somewhere else. Instead they put lots of scrap's with mostly fat. I am so disappointed that my Easter Lunch was ruined. read more

We stopped while driving through. I had a chopped beef sandwich and the bf had a brisket PO boy. Both were really good! Only the drive thru is open because of COVID.... read more

I'm not a local. I don't know where the spots are. All I knew was that I wanted to grab some food from a non-chain BBQ spot. I just happened to have found one a few blocks away from the Hampton Inn, where I was staying. I found Uncle Mutt's. This is definitely a fast food joint. The food had definitely been sitting (I came in around store closing time) for hours, if not longer, but I didn't care. If you're looking for fresh food, don't come here. I warned you. But then again, for me personally, I don't expect anything gourmet with a spot named "Uncle Mutt's-anything". I knew what I was getting myself into and I wanted cheap BBQ and this place had done so. I got the Uncle Mutt's special that came with 3 choice of meat and two sides for ~$11-12 after tax -- which I think is a good deal, given the observable quality of the food. I got rice, coleslaw, brisket, pork ribs, and ham. The food was rather delicious. The BBQ sauce mixed with the Montreal Steak seasoning (yes, that's how it tastes like) on the ribs satisfied my taste buds. The meat was tender and fell off the bone. The brisket was quite dry, but the BBQ sauce moisturized it a bit. The ham was soft and enjoyable to eat. read more

From the outside, this place looks legit. Got some age to it, you can smell the smoke out in the parking lot and has a great name for a BBQ joint. It's got a great location on the busiest street in Victoria. Walking in, the smokiness is a bit overwhelming. Very strong. Lack of ventilation? The size of the place might be part of the reason for the overwhelming smoke. It's not a large building overall. The decorations are very Texan/rustic and lend to an air of authenticity. All good there. We both ordered the pork ribs. We get to see them getting cut and the sizes are generous. Good amount of meat on the bones. The sides look good and the prices are pretty consistent with what most places charge nowadays. (BBQ is too expensive anymore...why they've gotten so proud is a mystery.) Wife orders potato salad and mac salad as her sides and I get green beans and potato salad. I bite into my ribs and they're tender, pull off the bone, but not fall off the bone. VERY smokey in flavor. I.mean.VERY.smokey. As we get into the second rib (each) we both start noticing an off flavor that wasn't smoke. Wife asks me if I thought they were cooked all the way through. With ribs, it's kind of hard to tell sometimes. There smoke ring was there on the meat under a decent crust...but there was a flavor for both of us that made our salivary glands go crazy...like "get that out of here!" and left a strange aftertaste in our mouths. We both ended up spitting the meat out into paper towels. Not all the pieces had this odd taste...but she left one un-eaten and I wasn't about to offer to finish it for her. I liked the potato salad enough...wife didn't. She thought the mac salad was way too vinegary and my green beans were damned salty. The tea was decent...I'll say that much. I had gotten into the habit of checking Yelp before trying a new place out of town. I wish I had this time. I didn't and missed out on some reviews I would have agreed with. Sorry, Uncle Mutt. We won't be back. I know you've got some loyal customers. Hope you can keep them. Back off the smoke, guys. read more

Imagine this, you work12hrs, and coming to a bbq restaurant with the thoughts of getting your food to go. You place an order, with a broken speaker, which should of been a sign from the start. The man comes on screaming at you. You continue placing order, and drive around. You wait, 3 or 4 min just so they can swipe your card and as you wait, the guy mumbles from what I can hear, is they are trying to make sure the chopped bbq is still good. Another 5 min goes by and then I notice, the 2 people working are now just staring and laughing. So I stare back and it seems as they are not going to give me my order. So finally i gave up and just drove away. I have no clue to what kind of clowns this place hires but all i know, is that this place made me feel uncomfortable with the individuals preparing my food. I will not ever go back. Also will wanting a full refund. read more

Both the brisket and ribs were cold, much like they sat in a hot container too long.. Ribs and brisket overall were okay in taste, around 2 stars. They had no straws for fountain drinks. read more

A little miffed, headed back from corpus and wouldn't make it to Praseks in time for BBQ before they closed...Found this on Google maps. A little dingy, but food was great. Brisket and sausage were solid, turkey is pretty good for turkey(not my thing) and green beans weren't boiled to death. A bit out of the way but would go back if the opportunity arose. read more

Meat was good. Lady didn't have to time to speak though - she was getting off from work ‍. Otherwise two men were nice

Great, friendly service, very quick! The portions are definitely fair and worth the price! My only downside for the minus of one star, is how insanely hot it is inside! I didn't even eat anything spicy, and I was sweating like crazy in the booth we sat in. The booths themselves are rather uncomfortable and unevenly spaced from one side to the other. I was crushed! Then after eating the plate I got, the booth got smaller! Haha but they do have a drive through so you can get a massive amount of greatness and not be fat shamed by the booths and go eat somewhere in comfort lol. Great choice, especially with their reasonable hours of operation. I am a huge fan of bbq and I will definitely be returning! (Through the drive-thr read more

In mine & my family's opinion. Uncle Mutts should have a lot better BBQ. We have been eating from there off & on for over 20 yrs. You would think by now their BBQ WOULD BE MOUTH WATERING. Nope it is not..... most times the sliced beef is dry, has to much hard black crust on it. When you buy by the pound. You would think w/ half you meat being fat. That it would be juicy tinder meat. Nope it's not..... then every once in a while we will buy one of their chicken halves or more. When you can dry out the dark meat. That is someone who doesn't know how to BBQ . Or just doesn't care!! In my opinion their corn fritters are not good. A chicken place here in Victoria has much better. OMGoodness we decided to try the mash potatoes for the first time. That was a horrible mistake. They were soooo salty & tasted like they were boxed. They do have so good items on certain days. I guess it depends on who's cooking that day. Im praying they will try harder at making their food better!! read more

Great mouth watering bbq. The interior is gorgeous texan style. The brisket and pork ribs i had were delicious. I would give 5 stars but they don't sell beer. read more

We hadn't been to Uncle Mutts in years but decided to try it the other night. OMG! It was so good. They had a 2/$25 plate deal on a Friday night. My husband had brisket and it was so tender and flavorful. He went nuts over the spicy black eyed peas and pea salad. I had the bbq chicken which was ok. Since I like breast, it's usually dry so I just dipped it in their sauce. The potato salad was the highlight of my meal as I'm very picky about it being homemade. Give it a try. read more
