I ate lunch here by myself and would eat here again. It wasn't very busy at the time. On the TVs was a movie, country music and boxing. The service was good and the BBQ food was delicious! I ordered chopped brisket and sausage sandwich. It came with potato salad, charro beans and a small bowl of chips. A good amount of food for the price I paid. The brisket had a nice smoky flavor to it and the sausage as well had a nice smoky BBQ flavor to it. The restaurant was clean and the bathroom was also very clean.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing food and Great Vibe! The remodel looks fantastic comfortable, and perfect for hanging out. The food was absolutely delicious! The loaded baked potato was packed with flavor and the brisket parrillada was tender, and perfectly seasoned. Everything tasted fresh. Fun country music, TVs for sports, and friendly staff make it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Definitely recommended!

This is one of Brownsville hidden gems. Good food, good portions and reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Good location and plenty of parking. Complimentary chips and salsa and very delicious Ranchero Beans. Very unique chicken seasoning. Must try!

Came here for the bbq chicken, unfortunately it wasn’t that. Let’s start with the locale. Nice location, plenty of parking and the place looks nicely remodeled and clean. Service was a little lacking, but maybe because there was a party, they looked a bit overwhelmed. Didn’t take long to take my drink order not my meal order. Drink was served promptly but the rest took a while. I ordered the bbq chicken and brisket plate. I could see other tables were brought beans and chips w salsa while their orders were brought out, unfortunately not mine. My chips/salsas and beans were brought with my food order, unlike other tables. Food was decent but not BBQ at all, at least not what we expect in Texas. Beans were very watered down and mostly tasteless. The rice was good but a little mushy. Now for the chicken, it was a bit dry and smothered in what seems a type of Louisiana watery sauce , definitely not bbq. The brisket was tasty but NOT bbq’d it was like a roast meat and not sliced, it was mostly almost chopped scraps. The portions were good for the price but that was offset by the food quality and taste. Btw, no bbq sauces were offered nor available , IN A BBQ place!!! I was offered tea once and asked if I needed anything another time, so pretty adequate. Now once time to pay I was charged for an extra drink and didn’t notice till my card had been run. They gave me a monetary refund which is what I left as a tip. My overall review is two stars at most , sorry.
