If you ever travel thru Loop 337 in New Braunfels, you will quickly see why I call this BBQ alley…read more My favorite heavyweight of the many top local BBQ pits is Coopers and has been our go to for many years. It is self service ordering, so you walk up to the pit, look over the selections and then choose from a variety of meats. Moist brisket, jalapeño cheese sausage, and beef ribs always end up on our tray. On weekend nights, specials may include prime rib or ribeye steaks. A must if you want a real meat fest. Make sure to add one of the best tasting peppered bake potatoes for a side, and baked apples for dessert , along with the complementary beans to complete the meal. So if you are just passing by, or finished up with a day of tubing the Guadalupe, come on over as the atmosphere is relaxed and casual for all ages.

We wanted to try a little bit of almost Everything and that's exactly what we did. For sides we got, potato salad, mashed potatoes, creamed corn and macaroni. For meats we got, brisket (fatty pieces preferred) turkey, Jalapeño cheddar sausage and ribs. Everything was stellar, but the star of the show was the brisket! Probably some of the best brisket I've had in a long time. The bark was perfect and the fat had such a nice juicy flavor filled bite. Everything honestly was top notch so we were very pleased with our spread. Can't wait until they open the location in San Antonio.

(The wife thought the potatoes were very true to what a potato should taste like, but seriously, what does she know? ) $4.20 for an order of fries seems overpriced, especially considering the way they were cooked. Surcharging for credit card on top of the high prices, probably not a place I'll be returning to.

It was delicious and very juicy. The green beans were also great with added bacon and mushrooms. We got a rib plate for my kids. They were the fall-off-the-bone type of ribs, so it depends on your preference there because you can't exactly pick them up and eat them. The potato salad was creamy and very light on the mustard and pulled pork sandwich was great as well with the regular bbq sauce, which had a sweet taste. Their spicy sauce was only mildly spicy. The only disappointment was that the Mac n cheese was ... well...strange. Texture was off as well as flavor. Now, I'm an avid Mac n cheese savant, so I'm fairly critical over my Mac n cheese. We will definitely go back to try the brisket nachos and loaded potato with meat! We just won't reorder the Mac n cheese.

Our Local Go To for Brisket Every Time…read more Black's BBQ in New Braunfels is our local go to spot. It is a quick drive from home, and their brisket keeps us coming back. We always order a mix of regular and a little lean for me, and both are consistently tender and flavorful. The sausage is ok, but the turkey on the rare occasions we get it is delicious and moist. For sides, we love Norma Jean's beans, green beans, and slaw. They are reliable and always hit the spot. One thing I discovered is that if I reheat the brisket in my Breville oven on the warm setting, it comes out tasting just like it did the day we ordered it. Desserts are sometimes a thing for us. The peach cobbler and banana pudding can be good, but they are not always consistent. Side note. I still do not know what to think about their family rival, Terry Black's BBQ building right next door. It is a cool vibe overall, and if you catch it at the right time, they even have musical events which makes the visit even better.

I stopped at Black's Barbecue in New Braunfels expecting great Texas barbecue, but my experience…read morewas mixed. The biggest issue was the brisket, which was much fattier than I prefer. While some fat is expected and adds flavor, there was enough of it that I found myself trimming quite a bit off before eating. The food wasn't bad, and I can see why many people enjoy it, but it didn't stand out compared to other barbecue places I've visited. Given the reputation, I was hoping for a better balance of meat and fat and a more memorable meal overall. That said, the service was good, and the restaurant has the classic Texas barbecue atmosphere many visitors are looking for. Overall, it was an okay experience, but not one of the highlights of my trip.
