7/20/21 Husband and I stopped in for a fun lunch! The beer Christmas in July rated a 4 out 5! We ordered bbq. That's when things went south! Bbq ok,I asked for a knife to cut brisket, gal at counter busy, she directed me to a office in the back! I stuck my head in and asked for a knife because the dispenser was empty! Her reply was the girl up front should restock! I explained she was alone and busy, would she mind getting me a knife. Stormed past me filled up dispenser and disappeared back into office! Concept of the place ok, customer service big zero! read more

Being a first timer in Texas was looking for those famous smoked meats . NUECES Brewery did not disappoint. Meats were smoked to perfection. Brews were a staple to Corpus will definitely return. read more

Nueces Brewing & BBQ - Brisket, pulled pork, pork rib. Signature beans. Corn in a cup all food was amazing! Beer flight ! - Breweries Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Great food, ambiance and beer!! Easy to order and food was delivered fast. Would definitely recommend this place.

We love this place. It's a nice cool break from the coastal Texas heat. There are a variety of beers on tap. Definitely something for everyone. I myself prefer a light beer and my husband prefers IPAs. I always find something on the menu that works for me. This most recent visit, we tried the brisket nachos. They were a special on the menu during our visit. They were very good and I would definitely consider checking out more of the menu items on a future visit. This brewery is family friendly. For me, the one downside is that dogs are allowed indoors. It is hard for parents to relax when there are people around who are drinking and also have dogs with them. Sometimes people forget to keep a keen eye on the dog when they're drinking. This means that I have to keep a keen eye on my children to make sure that no dogs get too close. One dog was definitely getting too close to my kids during our recent visit. Dogs on a patio or one thing but dogs indoors is kind of gross to me. read more

Nueces Brewing & BBQ - Brisket nachos - Breweries Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Love this place, but $7 for a quarter (leg & thigh) of barbq chicken!! Just when we started going back to Nueces you disappoint. Come on, you don't have to charge that much for chicken!!! read more

Great place, very clean. Friendly staff and great beer. Pricing was reasonable and recommend the flights of beer.

Cool place!! Beer is awesome! BBQ needs some work, brisket was decent, chicken quarter(leg and thigh) was dry and overcooked, and the rib was ok. A 3 meat plate consist of a slice of brisket, a leg quarter and 1 pork rib.... Potato salad had a weird but tasty flavor, corn cup was warm at best and my wife's beans had absolutely no flavor on the verge of under cooked. But hey the beer is good! read more

We went there after church and ate chicken and waffles from the food truck Kluckies. It was amazing food. The brewery is beautiful and well put together. read more

Nueces Brewing & BBQ - Chicken and waffles and loaded waffle fries. - Breweries Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Five thumbs up for this place. Service is fast and very good. The BBQ brisket is melt-in-your-mouth tender. I really like the brewed on site dark bock. It has a tasty sweetness. In all, it is a jewel in Downtown Corpus on the waterfront. read more

I've eaten at all the Best of the Best BBQ joints in Texas and beyond over many years and this was hands down the best brisket I've ever had. Flavorful, moist and fork tender. I real treasure for downtown Corpus Christi. Buy and support local! read more

Menu is limited...only bbq...had the 2 meat plate. It was just ok. The pinto beans were undercooked ... had clear broth. Anyone who has made pinto beans knows these are simply not cooked long enough. I was surprised by the limited menu. The food is mediocre at best. Music that is playing sounds like it is for a night club. This place needs a better menu and better atmosphere. Beers were ok Will not rush back read more

SO GOOD. Great bbq and beer. The space is huge and you can definitely kick back and relax. Love the level of service and the bbq is amazing. Brisket was lean and tender, sides and baked potato were awesome. read more

Food and beer are just good!! Nice environment and nice people, plenty of room to be comfortable, location has an easy access. Me and my companion had a great time, we tried the brisket tacos and they were very tasty, I highly recommend this place. Thank you Nueces Brewery, keep the good job. read more

We have come here 4 times. Every times we were treated very well. Bartender Josh was very attentive to our needs and on his game. You need to check out the owe to Josh shrine with his hand painted portrait on the wall. Great conversation piece. Beer was good. Service made out experience great. read more

Stopping by Corpus Christi for the first time and we always have to find the local breweries. We really enjoyed neuces brewery and their beer. We didn't get to try any of their barbecue but it smelled delicious. read more

Saw this place on yelp and decided to check it out for a mid-morning vacation beer and some food! We made the mistake of thinking they opened at 11 rather than 1130, causing us to hang out in the parking lot until opening time. We walked in a few seconds after they had unlocked the door, but you would have never known we were the first customers to show up! The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and quick. We ordered the chopped BBQ sandwich, pulled pork street tacos and elote. We also ordered two of the house Hefeweizen beers, and grabbed our seats. We decided to sit outside, which was empty due to their just opening. I went inside to grab ourselves some waters, and saw the bar including pickles, onion, BBQ sauce, etc. I grabbed what we needed for our meal. Our food came out very quickly, and we immediately got to work. The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5, is that the food was good, but it was not anything to write home about. Would absolutely go back, however it did not blow me away! We try to be very honest when writing reviews, while also being respectful of course. We will absolutely come back and check out the other beer options! read more

Good food and beer. Great service. Get the brisket and jalapeño sausage. I recommend if you're in Corpus Christi.

I didn't have any beer, and the sides need some work, but the pit master knocked it out of the park with the brisket and ribs, so I'm going with 5 stars. The BBQ came wrapped in grease-soaked serving paper and pink butcher paper. I ordered "marbled" brisket, which is a euphemism for fatty, and is AKA moist. It's the good stuff. The bark was softened a little by the butcher paper, and the spice balance in the bark was just right. It was moist, juicy, tender, beefy, and was delicious. The St Louis pork rib had an excellent rub, and was also well balanced. The chew and pull from the bone was spot on. This was my first, and only time here, so I don't know if the pit master can do it this well every time, but it was right tonight. I just got to Corpus Christi from judging BBQ at the the Houston Rodeo 3 days ago. I also ate at Truth BBQ and Pinkerton's in Houston, and in my opinion, Nueces BBQ was better tonight than both of them. As I said, the sides need work. The potatoes in the potato salad were undercooked. The corn in the elote was not charred, the dessert pretzel was very good, but would have been outstanding with a little more sugar and cinnamon on it. The BBQ is the hard part, and they got that right! read more

Beer! Beer! Beer! Oh and did I mention bbq? I absolutely love the potato stuffed with brisket. Mmmm.... Definitely a chill place to check out. read more

Good beer. I had a flight. Brisket was amazing. Very friendly staff. Dog friendly even in the tap room.

LOVED coming here! We're from houston and took a small trip to Corpus. We decided to stop at a brewery since we love going to brewery's. This was such a fun place to be. The employees were very helpful and they also interacted a lot with the guests. Would definitely come back again! read more

Picked up a couple plates to go yesterday. Honestly, this had to have been the best restaurant brisket and potatoe salad that I have ever had! Thanks to the generous portions I was able to enjoy it again today. My opinion didn't change...it's still amazing. I actually told my sister how good the food was and suggested they try it. We will definitely be back! read more

Place is amazing!!!! A real must see!!! Beer is awesome and Bartender/host " JD " was really really helpful and extremely nice!!! Will definitely make this a place to visit regularly!!! read more

Nueces Brewing & BBQ - Bar - Breweries Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Stopped by on Thursday afternoon/evening myself and my other half. We went to the bar and waited to be acknowledged which took awhile. Even with money in my hand we noticed around us that the men were being waited on before us (that's because we there first). Staff needs to be attentive regardless of gender, race and lifestyle. read more

Our 1st time eating here. We dined in and the inside is very beautiful and spacious. They play great music!.. The lady who took our order is very friendly. I got the chopped brisket sandwich and it was so good. My hubby got the chopped brisket sandwich with sausage and his was amazing as well. No complaints here. read more

How does a BBQ spot run out if BBQ? A major ball was dropped by Nueces Brewery today. Knowing a catered party was coming, instead of preparing separate food for the party they used their stock of service food and let the food supply run short. The vibe was nice and the decorations are very Coastal Bend. Other than that, for a place who claims to be a brew and bbq spot the options are limited and somewhat underwhelming. read more

Want to give them a decent review since they're pretty much the first craft brewery in Corpus or really anywhere around here, but as some other reviews have hinted at, the bar tender could be a bit more friendly. I'm sure it's totally an unconscious thing, but he just came off as very matter-of-fact and not really engaging. One easy thing to change that would help improve the vibe would be to give the beers creative names that also hint at their flavor profiles instead of just "IPA" "Pilsner," etc. There's also a lot of space in the building that feels unused, but it's a very new space so with time I'm sure things will gradually improve as long as they recognize where they are lacking. read more

Go for the Sunday handcrafted micheladas. Simply amazing. Super chill vibe, really clean and well designed space with amazing brews. What could be better? read more

Could be a fun atmosphere but there is not enough seating!! The outdoor patio is nice and there are some yard games. We will defiantly be back! Bartenders seemed to not really pay attention to who was at the bar first/last-- kind of just looked up where they were at in the moment and took the next persons order. Fun place but there should be some more staff training on being personable and friendly to all guests! read more

Wow! Right behind our hotel and it was awesome. Great beer and the brisket nachos were on point! Really great atmosphere. We highly recommend it! read more

Had the pulled pork tacos and the nueces lager. Friendly staff, Great food, Good service!

Great atmosphere! Great beers and food! Dog friendly and very clean and classy brewery Will be back!!!

The food was not good. The potato salad had no flavor, beans were too spicy and the elote and brisket were mediocre. The only one good thing was it was in walking distance to property we occupied. read more

Wow, what a surprise. Six kinds of beer on tap, big space, lots of people, still not feeling crowded, high ceilings, clean and appealing, art on the walls, food truck for food, I'll definitely be back. read more

Wouldn't recommend the brisket meal unless you like a big chunk of fat included with your meal for 17 dollars,that's ridiculous..way overpriced meal for just one slice of brisket with fat... read more

First time here. Food was really good, atmosphere was cozy and very open. Food menu has a larger selection when you are ordering in house than what you find online. Seating is long bench style picnic like tables. Beer was good and there was quiet a few different selections to choose from. Kid and pet friendly as well as very reasonably priced. read more

Dog friendly! Great seasonal pumpkin beer! Gray reminder of the beautiful views we have around the city!

Beer was good and so cashier was nice. The Citramatic was good, but not bitter, at 80IBU is should be noticeable, this more like a 20. The cherry cobbler was terrible but priced cheap. read more

Great atmosphere and food trucks and good beer one of the owners gave us a tour and definitely will be coming back again

This brewery is seriously one of the best. Not an adventurous beer drinker but wow, every single beer here was delicious! Loved everything about this place - atmosphere, drink selection, music, location and friendly knowledgeable staff. Super awesome place! read more
