First things first, I'm a pescatarian and thus going into a traditional BBQ in Texas is probably not a great place for me and dinning... but who cares? They are also a brewery! The beers my wife had were very tasty and fresh. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The facility is nice, clean and pleasent to enjoy an adult beverage. The BBQ did smell amazing and they have the complete Texan condiment bar. read more

we stopped here after our trip to the aquarium. It was pretty quiet at 3pm on a Saturday. Staff was friendly. Choice of beer is good. I question why a cider was twice the price as beer... $12 vs $6. But the food was good. We had ribs and brisket. Generous portions and we ended up taking some home. read more

We attended an event at Nueces Brewing after a long day of riding motorcycles, and we were definitely ready for something good to eat. We ordered the street tacos and an elote cup, and both dishes hit the spot. The tacos had solid flavor -- simple, well‑seasoned, and satisfying after a full day out. The elote cup was the standout for me, with that tangy Tajín kick blended into the mayo. It gave it a bright, zesty flavor that made it easy to finish. Overall, it was a good quick bite paired with the relaxed brewery atmosphere. If you're already here for an event or a drink, the food is a nice bonus. read more

Stopped by Nueces in Corpus Christi and had a solid barbecue experience. We ordered the brisket, sausages, a side of elote, potato salad and everything was flavored just right. A few pieces of the brisket leaned a little dry, but nothing too bad. The space is very open with plenty of seating, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Overall, a great spot for BBQ. Loved that they had sauces, pickles and peppers that you can load up on as you please! read more

I'll start with the good. The service was great and the beer was really good. I would come back for just the beer. Now for the bad, the food is not worth the price. We had the brisket nachos and the brisket was dry and hard. We didn't even really taste the brisket on the nachos because there wasn't much on the nachos. We also had a brisket sandwich and if you want to be disappointed this would be the one to get. For $10 you get one small slice of brisket cut in half between buns. You taste more bread than brisket since there was hardly any brisket. Like I said I would come back for drinks but would skip the food and walk over to whataburger for a meal. read more

What an amazing brewery. All of their beer selections are brewed in-house, and every one I tried was excellent. The bartender/server was an absolute gem--super friendly, conversational, and genuinely fun to talk to. I even ended up chatting with some locals, which really added to the vibe. The atmosphere is perfect for kicking back at the bar, enjoying great beer, and having good conversations. Good vibes all around. They also serve food; I didn't get a chance to try it, but plenty of people were ordering and everything coming out looked great. If you're in Corpus Christi and looking for a quality brewery experience, this is the spot. Easily the best one in town. read more

As always, I have to start my review with the fact that they have a 3% credit card surcharge. That's B.S. in my opinion - I'll leave it at that. We ordered the 2 meat and 2 sides for $22. It was turkey, brisket, potato salad, and mac & cheese. The beer selection is really good, but the bbq is just so-so. I'd go back, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. It's a fun place to hang out on a weekend afternoon - the 3% surcharge really turns me off though. read more

Food was great, wonderful atmosphere for large group or small. Kid friendly and easy!

I did not get a chance to take pics because we just dug right on in for the BBQ (and we all didn't get any beer?!- like what). In all honesty, we were looking at other bbq joints but they were all closed on Thursday- is this a random Corpus Christi thing? Who knows. We got the Pulled Pork Mac N Cheese and a 2 meats,2 sides combo with pork ribs and brisket (they only had chopped left). Sides were corn cup elote and Cole slaws the portions slightly smaller than what I've seen at other Texas bbq joints but nonetheless good! Service was spectacular- this guy who was helping to deliver food, wipe down tables, etc was ON it. Didn't catch his name but thank you! read more

Nueces Brewing - Dry, dry ribs. - Breweries Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

A fun, casual bbq joint with a cashier to order drinks and food. The brisket tasted excellent with great, deep flavors and melt in your mouth texture. The bbq sauces were also top notch and one of my favorite perks about this restaurant. They bring the food out to you and they have decent sides that I really enjoyed. The green beans weren't smoothed in oil and the pinto beans were great. They had somewhat of a vinegar aftertaste so just keep that note if you are looking for more traditional pinto beans. Very dog friendly with an outdoor patio. Water and non-alcoholic drinks are serve yourself. Really liked their beer! To note: they charge a 3% fee for credit cards. I don't notice this until after I paid and looked at the receipt. I'm not a regular so it came as a surprise. read more

Every time we go into Nueces, the staff is so friendly and helpful! Their beer and food are both incredible! When they have a Saturday Market, the restaurant can get quite busy, so plan to go earlier. What a fun way for a local business to support small businesses! They also have rotating, local art for sale inside the brewery. It makes for a beautiful atmosphere, plus you never know what art you'll see next time you go in! read more

I had a taste for some BBQ and the brisket tacos definitely met expectations. This was a great experience.

This old car dealership turned brewery doubles as a showroom floor for some nice works of art covering the walls. We just stopped by for some lunch but I had to try the peanut butter stout which was rich and delicious. The chicken street tacos and brisket sandwich were both good although not a lot of food. The potato salad was also good, but coleslaw was essentially just shredded cabbage, not much seasoning or dressing. This place is probably fun with a big group. The waitstaff were all very cool & friendly. read more

Cool brewery right on the shoreline. Been here twice and we like eating their bbq. Got their chips and queso which was $9... and the cheese tasted like petroleum or had a weird aftertaste which everyone felt the same. Couldn't eat past a few bites. Barely touched it. 9 bucks for this?? Not worth it. Whatever you do DONT GET THE QUESO! read more

Had the 5400 and Citramatic IPA's which were very good. BBQ was solid as well. Brisket sandwich and street tacos were very tasty. Facility is spacious with a large outdoor area as well. Place had a god vibe. Definitely worth a stop if you are in CC. read more

Delicious Nachos amazing tasty and great service it was a filler upper for sure!!! Music and the company is all you need!!

The recommendations for beer by the server was helpful and knowledgeable of the product. We were there on Wednesday during happy hour for their .50 cent wings.

Nueces Brewing - The place!! - Breweries Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Large group came here during a conference lunch and service was fast, food was delicious, seating was ample! Upon entry you can order and then it's open seating at the large picnic style tables. Sweet tea was delicious, I opted to try Mac and cheese, elote, and a pulled pork quesadilla. Everything was delicious and good portions. There is a self service area for condiments and sauces that can accompany the dishes but I didn't find that the food needing much of anything extra. So glad we stopped in! read more

I recently visited Nueces Brewing with family for lunch and drinks. The brewery's beer selection is fantastic from light refreshing lagers and pilsners to heavier tripel and ale options. For food the brewery has an extensive barbecue menu. I ordered a platter with Brisket, Pork Rib, Garlic Sausage, Elote, and Mac N Cheese. The brisket was tender, moist, and nicely peppery. The rib was nicely seasoned and smokey. The sausage was meaty and flavorful. The elote was citrusy, tangy and buttery. The mac n cheese was soft and savory. Overall, our visit was very enjoyable. read more

I love bbq. Coming from Kansas City, I have my preferences and let me say that they delivered here. Their brisket is a must. Whether it's on nachos or just the combo, it's delicious. I will say the combo with two sides you only get 2 slices of brisket so eat slowly and savor, but it's yummy. The brisket nachos were flavorful- pinto beans seasoned, pico nice and spicy, and all topped with a dollop of sour cream. Tex Mex at its finest. The potato salad was also yummy. It's brightness with its dill and mayo was delightful. The only thing that didn't deliver was the Mac and cheese. The flavor fell flat but that is just a personal preference. I would want more dimension. The noodles were over cooked. Try the others! The staff was friendly and the place was super clean and spacious. Lots of tvs for sports! Would definitely come back! read more

Fun, dog friendly, kid friendly, and good food. I'm not a beer drinker, but from what I saw, others really did enjoy their brews with multiple refills! There is also a patio outside that is lighted and has a Jenna game to play! The ladies behind d the bar were fabulous, quick with my order, and super friendly. My order came out perfect without any errors. Hubby and I stopped in for lunch at about 2 pm. on a Friday afternoon. Walking distance from the ocean front. The atmosphere is a relaxed, beachy vibe. The bar staff again are friendly. The tables are cleaned quickly. The floors are sparkly clean. Bathrooms were clean, too! The Pulled Pork nachos were so good! The pulled pork was just the right mix of savory spices. Tasty and not spicy! It came with pico, sour cream, and jalapeños (we left the pico jalapeño off due to dietary restrictions. Very tasty! Very filling for us to split. When in Corpus again, I can see coming back again! read more

A very relaxing atmosphere for great bbq and craft beer. Didn't expect such juicy smoked meats. Service was pleasant and efficient. Drinks can be ordered at the table but food needed to be ordered at the counter. Self-help condiment station had everything to complement our order. The jalapeños had a nice kick! 4% fee for CC payment. Plenty of AC indoor and outdoor seating. Parking was free and plentiful. read more

Favorite brewery in Corpus Christi. Their brewery is large so there's usually ample seating. They also have a patio if you're wanting to sit outside. Their nachos are delicious, they smoke their meat on site so it's always great. They have wide variety of beers on tap, my favorite is the Supremo. Service is always nice too! Would recommend! read more

Nueces Brewery is a modern trendy bar, brewery and barbecue joint that opened a few years ago. From what I can tell, it was part of a local trend to capitalize on a popular one from bigger cities in Texas - breweries that doubled as bars/eateries. I was really happy to see them open up. The space they renovated and now inhabit was one of the many rundown buildings in Downtown Corpus, and the addition of this type of business has only helped to further modernize the city and help drive economic development. And to their full credit, it is a really cool establishment. From what I have heard, their beer is really good. The vibes there are solid and laid back. They also play really good music - yesterday we had a work meeting there and I recall hearing Daft Punk, Sneaker Pimps, and Salt-N-Pepa, to name a few artists that had my head bobbing. Now, the barbecue is legit STX bbq. It is really good, IMO! Not originally a barbecue restaurant, they were fairly savvy to turn it into one early on in the pandemic when Texas had not yet reopened bars, but was allowing restaurants to operate at limited capacity. They have since maintained the restaurant, which has only enhanced what they already had to offer. read more

Stumbled across this gem while trying to find some good bbq. I got the brisket and pulled pork to go along with the Mac and cheese and potato salad. All of it was great and really gave me a good Texas BBQ! I got the Adam West Coast Hazy for my beer, good flavor and refreshing. Next time we'll have to try more and sit out on their great patio! read more

We were the first customers of the day (Sunday)! It was within walking distance from our hotel. We saw it the first day when we walked by and it didn't seem like much from the outside. We were really surprised when we walked in. Place is huge and the inside has a great vibe. We ordered a 3 meat plate (brisket, ribs and sausage) with two sides (mac, beans) and the brisket street tacos and elote. Should've ordered more tacos, they were delicious. We had a flight of beer and a few pints after to wash down the pecan pie read more

We got there right when they opened & we are so glad we did! They have a nice little parking lot next to the building but it looked like a decent amount of people walked there for lunch breaks which is a great sign. They have all the great vibes with an "incase of emergency" case in the womens bathroom and signs with arrows saying "make beer" & "drink beer"... can't get lost - that's the simple stuff we need. Haha They had so much merch (tshirts, totes, hats, lanyards, etc.). Now for the food, WOW. So good. My husband had the pulled pork super Mac with hot cheetohs and oh man he LOVED IT. Then we shared chips and Queso, & a soft pretzel. And in my opinion, that pretzel absolutely stole the show. GET IT, NOW. Now the drinks, we both tried their s'mores dark beer and I truly loved it. You can totally get the chocolate and s'mores taste. I then had a sangria which was super good. My husband then had the shandy and he loved that they actually mix their beer with a little lemonade. He said it was great. So if you're thinking about going stop messing around and do it, you won't regret it. read more

Coming from houston, we eat a lot of barbecue. The wife and I decided we were in the mood, and found this spot near us. The restaurant looked nice and the reviews/rating were good enough to want us to try some corpus barbecue. Let me tell you, it was a huge mistake. I've had better barbecue at buc-ee's, or "The Texan" since, buc-ee's isn't around here. On the right, I ordered the 3 meat plate, and it came with, garlic sausage, pork ribs, and brisket. The sausage was very good, I'll give them that, but the ribs and brisket were very very dry. I'm used to being able to fold the brisket over my fork and it wanting to fall apart. This didn't do that, it just looked all sad and gray, just like the flavor. I could say the same about the ribs, barely any meat and super dry. It wasn't worth the $24.50. Now, for my sides I got, the elote, and mac and cheese. I'm Hispanic, so how could I resist elote? Well, it came out had pretty good flavor, but I couldn't understand the use of tajín, it was such a weird flavor and didn't make sense. Anytime Ive ate elote, it never had tajín, it was just chile powder, but whatever I guess. The mac and cheese was alright, not enough seasoning, the cilantro/coriander on top was so weird. Who puts cilantro on mac and cheese? The noodles were cooked good though, so that was the only thing rooting for it. My Wife ordered the baked potato with brisket, well since I already explained the dryness of the brisket, that wasn't great either. The potato had all the fixings, good flavor but because of the brisket, it just wasn't that great. It needed barbecue sauce to help make it taste good. That ain't good barbecue in my book if you need sauce. Now, what we did like was the, SOFT PRETZEL AND BEER CHEESE. OMGGGG, let me tell you, unfortunately that picture never made it to my camera roll, because we dove in so fast. We were so tempted to order another for a late night snack. The pretzel was soft and pillowy, golden brown, nice and salty, with that delicious and creamy beer cheese. Man, it makes me want another while I'm writing this review. Anyways, unfortunately for us the food wasn't all that, I read that they used to be a brewing company and then added barbecue later on. After we ate here, I think they should stick to what they know, beer. read more

Nueces Brewing - Left: Baked potato, with brisket. Right: 3 Meat and 2 Sides Combo. (Brisket, Pork Ribs, Garlic Sausage, Mac and cheese, Elote. - Breweries Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Alert: Dog Friendly Location!! You are allowed to bring your puppy inside and on the patio outside! My little guy was so excited to stay in the a/c while we ate. They even have a jar of treats at the bar :) This is a standalone restaurant with their brewery attached. Location is on Water Street right down the street from the T-Heads and Corpus Christi Bay. Inside is very bright and spacious with some small tables, a bar, and lots of long communal benches. You order at the counter and the food is brought out to you. Prices are pretty fair and the portions are a good size. For $15, I ordered the brisket nachos to share. It comes with beans, cheese, pico, sour cream, and pickled jalapenos. Brisket is tender and fatty. Sausage sandwich tastes great (and lots of sausage) but the meat is strangely tough. Might just be the one time I ordered it. I think this was $8-$9? I don't usually drink but was curious to try. The bartender had several recommendations and we went with the Hefeweizen because we were in the mood for something light. It was light, citrusy, and not too hoppy. I would recommend! read more

Excellent all purpose spot with good selection of German style beers and BBQ! The bock and supreme was my favorite out of the flight. BBQ was slightly over cooked, but I prefer brisket with a slight tug from the connective tissue. This one was melting and falls apart from a touch.

There is also outdoor seating for if its not too hot. They have something like nearly a dozen beers on tap. They have quite a few BBQ dishes on the menu. I ordered the nachos which came out as quite a big tray. I suggest you share this if you order. The beers they have are really good! I definitely give a nod to this place. read more
