The meats are grilled to perfection. Words cannot describe how great these BBQ plates are. I believe they only have these plates available mondays, wednesdays, and fridays and they sell out quick! I have been there before at about 1:00 pm and they were already out of plates at that time.

The rib meat fell of the bone. So so good. The brisket was super moist, great macaroni and very tasty potatoes salad. The lemonade slush is so so refreshing and good. Definitely will go back and highly recommend

The food came quickly. The sides were not that great, the green beans clearly canned and I couldn't taste the jalapeno at all in the creamed corn. The brisket was sliced with the grain instead of against the grain, this made it a bit tough even though I could tell it was well cooked. The fajita's were just ok. Both meats needed more salt and more cook time.

After placing our order, we were offered to dine in at the adjacent building that does have AC. We were taking our food to go, so it made no difference to us. They also offer drive through service. For those dining in, simply sit and the food comes to you. I liked that they had complementary shelled peanuts. I ordered a large loaded baked potato. Brisket was great. I also ordered a small mack n cheese to taste it. Didn't care for the mac n cheese. I will definitely be coming back to try more things from their large menu choices.

There is a Diner with AC and a 2nd building that is for more casual seating (screened in patio) or takeout. We ordered the Chopped Brisket Sandwich with a potato salad side. The meat was flavored and smoked to perfection. The bun was fresh, soft, and toasted. The ice tea was excellent. They had an extensive menu of other classic BBQ dishes and I overheard another customer praise the seafood. While enjoying our meal, we briefly chatted with the owner Brian who was very welcoming, along with his friendly staff. He explained that the majority of his restaurant business are customers that drive by since its location is in a remote area. The great news... he offers catering all the way from San Antonio to McAllen, Hidalgo, and in between! My husband & I plan on making this a destination for BBQ when we do our monthly road trips to SPI.

I have…read morebeen to Tuckers twice (sometimes places have bad days) and twice my meat tasted like the saltiest beef roast I have ever tasted. The second time I took my husband, he was not impressed, nor was I. Some restaurants replace beef roast with brisket because it's a much cheaper cut, seems like this maybe the case. I was really hoping for some good Texas BBQ and was sadly disappointed.
