I've lived in Texas off-and-on for a total of 11 years. During this time I've literally eaten at a minimum of 100 Texas BBQ restaurants. My wife and I would spend our weekends traveling the State hitting as many of the Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQs that we could. One Saturday a few years ago we ate at 5 different Texas BBQ restaurants - I'm not kidding. And I have never once during this time had a meal I didn't enjoy - until tonight. I'm not going to jump off the deep end and say the food was bad, it wasn't. Except for my iced tea which was terrible. I spent a year in New Jersey where they serve tea as dark as coffee with a taste that makes your head snap back. This tea was just like that. Texas tea is a light brown color, not black. Needless to say, after one sip I didn't finish it. The BBQ beans are definitely not Texas style. They were watery and sweet, and not very appetizing in my opinion. Definitely different than any other bbq beans you'll find in Texas where pinto beans are typically served with BBQ. The green beans were under cooked and tough. The corn needed a truck load of salt and pepper. Now to the meat. My brisket, sausage, ribs, and pulled pork were all OK, not horrible, but nothing to get excited about either. The star of the show was the banana pudding which was the only item we ordered that could potentially motivate me to return, which I probably won't do. I assume the pudding was homemade and it was definitely tasty. You've probably seen the pictures of the facility. It's basically a small store front where you walk inside and the ordering counter is immediately inside the door just one step away. There is no seating inside. The outdoor patio on the front of the building has 4 or 5 rickety tables with a couple of "indoor tvs" that are hung on the roof supports. Because they are indoor and not outdoor TVs, unless it's pitch dark outside the screens will be washed out and you won't be able to see anything. There are two tables on the patio on the backside of the building and we initially attempted to use them so we could sit in the shade and not in the blast of the setting sun that covered the front of the building. Unfortunately, these two tables and their chairs had not been cleaned for a millennia and were covered with a bunch of sticky crap that had blown off the nearby trees and parking lot. I'm going to be extremely generous and award a score of three because the meat is disappointingly average but not terrible, and because it hurts me to disparage a small family business. But this very easily could have been a 2 star score. And considering there are a boat load of great BBQ options within 10 miles, I can see no reason to visit here again in the future. read more

Tried this place out 1 time and that was enough. Brisket was more fat than meat. Sides tasted ok, but seemed to be from the day before. Been wanting to try them for a long time, but stoped today I really think Bill Millers is better. read more

I try very hard to at least find something positive when visiting independently owned establishments but it's impossible here. The ribs and brisket are total mush with no seasoning. They must be days old. The macaroni is curdled. The mashed potatoes are an over seasoned garlicky mess. The green beans are not good. The menu prices are incorrect. They were very friendly but very confused on pretty much everything. $75 and we are feeding it to the dogs, hopefully they enjoy it. read more

On today's adventure I visited "Mighty Oak BBQ", to be honest it's a small place with limited seating outside. But what it lacks in space it makes up in flavor. But first going back to the place, as you enter to the place you are warmly welcomed. You select from the menu, I choose a pulled pork sandwich with mac and cheese and a soda. They have a variety of meat options. Once you place your order you either wait or set outside and they kindly bring your meal to you. So the sandwich was phenomenal, the sandwich comes with the bbq sauce and some sliced pickles, but meat was great the sauce took it to another level. This place is a wonderful option for barbecue I highly recommend this place. read more

I wish I could give them more than 5 stars, the food is delicious and the price is reasonable, we tried the lean sliced brisket sandwich, the loaded potato with jalapeno cheese sausage, smoked turkey, and a texas twinkie. I highly recommend this place for great bbq. And the owner, David is also very nice read more

I wanted to love the food but am disgusted. I ordered 1/2 lb of moist brisket. What I got was mostly inedible fat and not much meat. i also had 2 pork ribs that were ok but nothing special. Be sure to check to-go orders before you leave! read more

Mighty Oak BBQ - 1/2 lb of brisket that was 1/4 grisly fat. - Barbeque Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

Well, I bought a whole slab of bbq ribs, and they were delicious. Special cost on Wednesday. Their potato salad and bake beans were to die for. Especially, their banana pudding dessert. I mean if you blink on N.Walnut, you'll miss it. But, it's a jewel hiding in our mist. Got to find it. read more

I went by yesterday and had the best moist brisket I've ever had at a restaurant. It literally melted in my mouth. The ribs were so good as well, so was the Mac and cheese and brownie. My mouth is watering just thinking about it everyone was very friendly. I highly recommend! read more

This place is worth trying out ! Wow ! Went today for lunch and the food was excellent. The service was great. And the weather was perfect. The moist brisket was a work of art, the Mac n cheese was delicious, potato salad was amazing, and the banana pudding was outstanding. I would recommend this bbq over all others in the city ! read more

Mighty Oaks BBQ is outstanding!! 15 Stars!! There sides are perfect and there stuffed baked potato is to die for!! The owners are fabulous as well as the people that work for them, always a winner!! read more

Picked up BBQ here for the first time this evening. Growing up in the Luling/Lockhart area, I am picky with my BBQ and Mighty Oak disappoint. Brisket was extremely moist with a really nice smoke ring, sausage and chicken both had extremely good flavor, didn't even need the BBQ sauce. The garlic mashed potatoes and mac n cheese were both excellent sides. Will definitely be back!! read more

We've driven by Mighty Oak a million times over the past year, and hubs decided that today was going to be rib day! We went to try them out, and are so glad we did! Hubs got a half rack of baby back ribs that were fall-off-the-bone amazing! the drug had just the right amount of saltiness and the homemade barbecue sauce was a perfect foil for the salt of the ribs. He's still talking about them hours after we ate there! I had the one meat plate with brisket (moist and super flavorful) and homemade Mac n cheese and baked beans. I am tremendously happy that I have leftovers to take to lunch tomorrow! Mighty Oak is conveniently located next to Black Clover bar, so you can get your drink on AND have amazing barbecue at the same time! The staff/owners were super friendly and service was awesome! I think we've found our new go-to BBQ place! read more

The service was impeccable and the wait time was minimal which was great. I will support small business owners however improvements IMO needs to be made. I ordered chicken and moist/fatty brisket with coleslaw and mac & cheese. The slaw was wonderful with just the right amount of vinegar however mac & cheese had a weird taste to it that I just couldn't overcome. The chicken was a bit dry and the brisket was far from being on the moist side. I will continue to get my BBQ elsewhere. Three stars for the service and good slaw. read more

Just received my order via door dash. My husband, ordered a 3 meat plate (ribs, brisket and pepper jack sausage) with extra meat (turkey). He received everything except the sausage. Contacted MOBBQ, explained his issue, ordered was pulled up. The male manager is yelling that's not what you ordered, as he is reading his order off the door dash screen. After that idiot finished yelling, the female manager (sorry did not catch your name) got on the telephone and was able to see the order. The food is really good, but the male manager leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. Hopefully he was just having a bad day. read more

First thing i have to say this hurts. I wanted this to work because they are so nice. But this is a place to buy food, and they are not ready to do that here. The sides are okay, but the meat is either dry and bland(pulled pork) or very overcooked (possibly a reheated leftover), and the sausage, that gave us the food poisoning. I won't go into it, but look elsewhere. read more

6-19-2024 My husband and I each ordered a sampler plate. The sliced brisket was very tender and flavorful. The 2 ribs were fall off the bone delicious. Sausage link and Turkey were so good. Mac and cheese was very creamy and good. Mustard potato salad was sweet and good. (personally I prefer dill flavor over sweet) I also ordered jalapeños but got pickles instead. My husband's order was mixed up. My husband got sliced beef instead of chopped beef. He ordered pulled pork and got Turkey breast instead. The sausage link and ribs were correct and so delicious. The coleslaw was very good. Also, pickles were given instead of jalapeños. The bbq was excellent and so delicious. . The food we got was very good. Just a heads-up CHECK your order before you leave. My husband and I will be returning bc the bbq we did get was so deliciously yummy. read more

Love this place and I love supporting small businesses. The owners are friends of mine from high school and I do enjoy their barbecue.

Smoked brisket was good. I would go back for another brisket loaded potato. The sides are not worth getting.

Brisket is so tender, it melts in your mouth. The beef sausage was really good as well. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. Didn't try any sides yet but we will definitely be going back to try some of their other items. read more

Grabbed a loaded baked potato one night when picking up my kiddos pizza order next door and it was great on all aspects ! Fast, super friendly service and got home to a still perfectly hot, largely portioned, delicious pulled pork loaded baked potatoe. Definitely going back to try more menu items. (The only thing I should of asked for was a side of sauce.) read more

Mighty Oak BBQ - Pulled pork loaded baked potato - Barbeque Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

This is REAL bbq... with slow cooked delish non fatty bbq... it's BOMB and worth the reasonable prices.

Amazing food and plenty of options to make it affordable... I recommend this place 100%

We were so excited for Texas barbecue, talking about it for weeks. Based on the 4 star review we went to mighty oak. We ordered the variety pack, sausage, brisket and pulled pork, Mac and cheese, potato salad and baked beans, as well as 1 lb of smoked turkey. The sides were decent, but not great. The proteins were terrible. Dry, too salty, too smoky, almost like they cooked it a few days earlier and then reheated it in a mixture of liquid smoke and water. The parking situation is also a mess. We drive a large car and it was very difficult to get out of the parking lot. Save your money, go to Smokey mos or Rudy's. read more

Sides , fresh and just OK. Service , 100%. Owner, Pam, friendly. Darion, Great service. . Great go to local place. Cool outside seating. EXCELLENT handicap access and help. % read more

This place is excellent! Best new BBQ place in town and we've tried them all. We both had BBQ sandwiches, one chopped one fatty and we were blown away, lemonade to wash it down was on point too. Will be back very soon to try the ribs and jalapeño pineapple sausage. read more

Where do I start. This place was amazing with great food and the friendliest staff there. When you park you get that good ol smell of oak wood burning away that just lets you know you're going to be in for a treat and man what a treat it was. Let's start off with the plate I ordered(not pictured) but it was the burnt end plate with bbq baked beans and corn and man that plate was gone in minutes. So I had to get the pork ribs which was by far the best taste and bite you can get. You'll see the before and after of those bad boys but I can't stress enough on this place and of course will definitely be back. Thanks again for having me out there to try you're amazing bbq. read more

I just had the best street tacos I've ever had at this establishment. It's a little hole in the wall place, with the best Texas bbq in town. By far surpasses any other bbq I've had in NB. My husband had a brisket sandwich as well as the baby back ribs. The meat was so moist and tender he raved about it. We will definitely be going back. Another plus is the people are very friendly and willing to please. I give them a five+ star rating. read more

Got the beef and the pineapple jalapeño sausage and brisket. Sides were Mac n cheese, baked beans, and potato salad. Didn't really care for the beef sausage, it was over smoked. The pineapple jalapeño was ok. The Mac n cheese was mostly dry noodles with barely any cheese and the baked beans were not really baked at all, just Bush's beans mixed with tomatoes and maybe a little ketchup and brown sugar. The best thing there was the mustard potato salad. I probably won't go back there, it's not really my taste. We are all different though, do get out and give it a try, let's support local businesses, there is something for everyone! read more

Really good!! Brisket was so good...and I'm not generally one for brisket. Pork ribs were tender and flavorful. Chicken and turkey were both a little dry. Would definitely recommend! read more

Slow smoked barbecue is the best with a side of mac & cheese and some banana pudding definitely hit the spot! Will definitely be back.

This is the best place in New Braunfels for Takeout. BBQ. Most tender brisket I have ever had anywhere! Banana pudding was killer! I think some of the negative reviews are based on expectations of it being a resteraunt style place. This is individually owned and not a large commercial establishment. Seating is limited and mostly outside. If you want local owned, tender, tasty, and reasonably priced pickup: Mighty Oak BBQ is the best! read more

Mighty Oak BBQ's huge baked potato LOADED with brisket. A GIGANTIC beef rib (what's left of it) and home made banana pudding. What's not to love??? Mighty Oak has some of the BEST BBQ in San Antonio!! You can always guarantee service with a smile, scrumptious food and a full belly! We will definitely keep coming back for more! read more
