    Brisket/ sausage
    Alex J.

    I'm from Dallas and this truly blows BBQ spot there I've been here 4 times had different stuff every time everything is 10/10 Great staff too!

    3 Meat Plate (Brisket, Pork Ribs, and Sausage) and a side of Green Chile Macaroni and Cheese
    Zachary S.

    Visiting my girlfriend in Lubbock for an extended weekend brought us down to Midland for another stamp and more barbecue. Half Acre is off 349, just slightly north of the Midland epicenter. The parking lot is huge, and as we pulled in just around noon, we were shocked at how packed it was. Obviously, good barbecue is worth going to, especially on a Friday, and Half Acre is no exception. The entire space at Half Acre is pretty expansive, with a regular-sized dining room where all the ordering and preparation takes place, plus a large outdoor seating area and another overflow room, which is needed for a lunch rush like today. The first thing that took me aback was the prices at Half Acre. So far on this stamp book journey, Half Acre is the cheapest joint I have been to by a significant degree. I feel like the median cost of a three-meat plate in my experience is about $33. Try $25 with a side. $1.50 for a regular drink as well. It is unreal. I did a double take. I felt like I was stealing from a local business. My theory is that since Half Acre is owned by Midland Meat Company, the vertical integration makes it significantly cheaper than other pitmasters and joints importing meats on a daily basis. I do not know if it is true, but whatever can help make barbecue affordable in big 2026 is a plus. They run two lines during the lunch rush, and after waiting about five minutes in line, it took about 10 minutes to get our food out. For the price, I was shocked to get four pork ribs, all meaty and flavorful. The brisket slabs were large as well, with two big cuts of meat. The brisket seasoning was savory and sweet. The standard sausage was juicy and had a good little kick to it. I was impressed by the green chile mac, and the fried okra my girlfriend got was perfectly seasoned. I do not think this is all-star barbecue by any means, but you cannot scoff at that price tag. Any brisket for that price is a blessing, and I am glad to see them get so much foot traffic on the Friday we went. As we walked out, there was a line out the door and not an open table in sight. That is what barbecue is all about. RIYL: Brisket without paying an arm and a leg.

    Outstanding! This is some of the BEST BBQ I have had. Went with the 3 meat - Brisket, Pulled Pork and Sausage with the Green Chile Mac! Too much to eat so I have dinner. This place gets busy and well worth the wait. Top 50 is not good enough here. More like Top 20 in my book

    Pork ribs, moist brisket, with potato salad.

    Food was delicious. I got the pork ribs with brisket. I was surprised they gave so much brisket. Definitely had leftovers. Will be coming back soon!

    I visited this Top 50 restaurant for lunch immediately after visiting a client in the area. The parking lot is large and there is plenty of seating. There was no line at the time luckily as the ordering process is quick and efficient since there are 2 registers. They have 2 buildings and a courtyard between the metal buildings, all have seating. I found they have a full menu and some choices you don't regularly see at a craft bbq restaurant like steak fingers and brisket eggrolls. I tried their 3 meat plate with sliced moist brisket, sausage and beef ribs. They only had the jalapeno sausage on my visit. Also, the beef ribs are not the Dino ribs. I chose green chili mac n cheese as my one side. They have an intercom to call your order number. The 2nd building does not have central air conditioning, but it's partially covered has fans, and a floor cooler, and in the winter they fan utilize the 3 gas heaters in the ceiling. On the other side of the 2nd building is an area for cornhole. Brisket - a very thick slice probably near 1/3 lb, nice smoke ring, very tender. 4/5 Jalapeno cheese sausage - a good Texas style sausage, not spicy, pretty juicy, utilizes cheddar. 4/5 Beef ribs - you receive 5 beef ribs, its not a lot of meat on these though. They're cooked well done, and just short of being beef jerky for the most part, good flavor though. Some of the meat is tender or fatty and not well done. 3/5 Green chili mac n cheese - uses small elbow noodles, maybe 1-2 cheeses, a little on the dry side, not spicy, 3/5 Banana pudding - one of the better banana puddings ive had lately, tasted homemade, very few wafers in mine, also a few banana chunks present. This pudding has 3 layers, pudding, custard and a whipped cream 4/5 Overall, I had a good experience here on a day that wasn't all that hot. For the amount of food I received on a 3 meat plate, plus the dessert and tea...this would have cost at least $40 in Houston, Austin, or other major cities. Here though, only $33. Many customers were ordering sandwiches and burgers. So I would want to try their burger next time. Their menu indicates many of their meats are from Midland Meat Company, another highly rated business (butcher shop) in town. However, Half Acre is actually an extension of this meat company, according to their website.

    It's a little off the path, had to figure out how to get in to the parking lot. Once we figured it out, we were shocked by how full the parking lot was for close to closing time. Turns out there was a football banquet or something so the outside seating area was closed, making the dining room really full. This is a place you order the food and they call your number when it's done. I had the 2 meat plate with beans and cheesy corn. I had brisket, all they had left was lean, and ribs. Lean brisket was dry, had to put some sauce on it to eat it. Ribs were great Sides were good as well. Nice place, would come back for sure

    2 meat plate - Moist Brisket and Sausage cheesy corn
    Allen U.

    Work brought me to Midland, TX back to my old stomping grounds of all places and my co workers and I were hankering some BBQ and we heard so much about the newish spot off Big Spring Street in north Midland The Half Acre and just had to try it the biggest attraction that made it top of my list is the Brisket egg roll! Upon entering on a late lunch hour the place wasn't too busy so we quickly placed our orders and were on our way. The sweet tea is really good here perfect balance of sweet compliments well with the brisket egg roll I was about to devour! The egg roll is generous portion of juicy brisket and dipped with their come back sauce it stole the show! Now for the two meat plate! Let's talk beef, the moist "fatty" brisket had nice balance of brisket juices and great seasoning on it paired well with the sausage. The cheesy corn on the other hand not for me, tasted like a little bit of nacho cheese paired with corn. Overall, I would return for that amazing Brisket Egg roll and would try the turkey next time or ribs out. I do recommend you give it a try yourself to see if it tops one of Midland BBQ eats!

    Pretty good bbq from a local source in midland. Good prices and very filling. Free regular sized drinks-It's a small but appreciated thing. Very friendly staff with plenty of space if the weather is nice

    This is the 4 meat with brisket, chopped beef and double beef ribs!
    Shane C.

    I'm a big Brantley Creek fan, and being new to Texas and m always in search of great Barbecue. Well I stumbled upon Half acre and it's my new go to spot. The quality is exceptional, the portion sizes are large, and the price can't be beat. If I had one recommendation it would be to slice the brisket thinner. 8 out 5 stars!!!

    Great BBQ, decent portions and some of the best brisket I've ever had. Plenty of parking, even if it is a little outside of Midland.

    The food was great and Josiah was helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. Was in town visiting…read moreand glad I found this place. Give it a try!

    This was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've had in a long time…read more The service was extremely slow, and after waiting far longer than expected, our food arrived cold. After that kind of wait, serving cold food is simply unacceptable. What really made this experience stand out, though, was the owner's attitude. When I had a question about my bill, he walked up, grabbed the ticket out of my hand in a rude manner, and acted like I was the problem. I made an honest mistake because I didn't realize the kids' meals didn't include drinks. Instead of simply explaining it politely, he responded in a condescending way, basically saying they never come with drinks. To make matters worse, the drinks for the kids were $2.99 each--the same price as an adult drink. The children were only 20 months old and 5 years old, so charging full-price drinks for toddlers and young kids was disappointing on top of everything else. I also couldn't help but notice the difference in how people were treated. The owner was very friendly and welcoming to customers he appeared to know, but if you weren't a regular, it felt like your experience didn't matter. Even by the standards of restaurants I've visited in Midland, this experience stood out for all the wrong reasons. Good customer service means treating every customer with respect, not just the regulars. Between the rude interaction, the cold food after a long wait, and the complete lack of concern, this was an experience I won't be repeating. I won't be returning, and based on my experience, I can't recommend this restaurant.
