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. The BBQ sauce was delicious and peppery, enjoyed it very much! read more

Amazing experience. The building is historical, huge and very well done. Service was polite, quick and efficient. The BBQ was great. Not dry and smoky. Highly recommend! read more

I stopped in here on a sunday. I was in Harlingen for work and decided to take a long drive on my day off. I stopped in for lunch. The place is really big with long communal tables. 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

Some facts about the place, the parking lot is smaller than what establishment can fit in the building including the outdoor seating. Outdoor seating area is only partially covered so it can get uncomfortable in the summertime. It's a pet friendly place, so don't be surprised if you see a dog wandering around inside the building or snarling at each other on the patio (this happened while I was there). Unfortunately, they do not offer table service, which means you have to leave your meal, go stand in line and wait to be served. If they had someone going around taking beer orders only, that would probably help increase sales. Also trying to get through that big glass door to the patio with your hands holding two beers is just asking for an accident. As for the food, the primary item on the menu is barbecue. The sliced brisket is good as are the brisket nachos. However, my sliced brisket sandwich came with no barbecue sauce and the sausage link will be smaller than you think. All of their beers are on point with no complaints, although I've had better hefe. When you check out with your credit card you will be prompted by the tip screen and you will pay a credit card fee. Unless I actually lived in the neighborhood, I probably would not add this to my list of regular to go to places. Once was enough. read more

The food here was delicious. It wasn't the best bbq I've had, but very good. The ambiance of this place is so nice. It is very spacious and the service is great. I also liked that they had a station for pickles, onions, and peppers on the side to add to your meal. They also had a soft drink station as well as delicious beers and wines. read more

I've eaten at a lot of great BBQ joints in the hill country and Houston, which is a new hot spot for amazing 'Q.....now I can add a Corpus spot to that list of amazing places. My wife and I shared a three meat plate and two sides, all of which were 5 stars. The pulled pork was the best we've ever had any where, The sliced "marbled"/moist/fatty brisket is in our top 5, the pork ribs were amazing and gone. The mac n cheese was top notch, the pinto beans were loaded with meat and flavor. We shared one hefeweizen beer that was very tasty, neither of us know much about beer but we know we liked it a lot....should have gotten two. Just in the interests of food science I decided to try the pecan pie that came with whipped cream, another 5 star product I'd be happy to snarf again. Great service, great 'Q and great beer....we'll be back and soon! read more

Great BBQ and beer! Nice open atmosphere with plenty of parking. Friendly service and good portions.

Coming in from Houston. Found this on yelp so decided to try it. Really enjoyed the brewery. Ordered the baked potato and quesadillas. Food was all very tasty. Nice ambiance- plenty of seating inside and patio outside. Clean restrooms and clean facility. Only issue was it was our first time and we were confused about ordering. The QR codes at the tables aren't active so we ordered at the bar. We didn't get that Brewery welcome feeling. Felt more like a restaurant with a bar that serves beer. We like learning about the beers and all. Ordered a flight. My least favorite was the Hef but rest were really good. overall it was a nice visit. Solid 8/10. read more

Great variety of good beer, great BBQ ,great service and an relaxing atmosphere worth the trip from Michigan

I really loved this place! The atmosphere was incredible and the food and drinks were even better. We got a whole flight of beers (the Hefeweizen, the Pangosa, the Belgian trippel, and the black lager) and I really enjoyed each one despite their differences. The BBQ was also great. The meat portions were a little small but the tacos and nachos were incredible. The only issue besides the small meat portions were that the system here was a little confusing. The meal didn't come with any BBQ sauce at all so we assumed there wasn't any. Only after we finished our meal (and enjoyed it) did we discover that there was a whole condiment bar tucked away with sauces and pickles. It would have been really great to have known that after or while we were ordering since it was our first time (and we told them as much while ordering). Besides that small quibble everything else was great. Sorry the pictures aren't great we were too hungry and ate it before I could get decent shots of the food! read more

service was great! the employees were super sweet. but the food is definitely lacking unfortunately:( the meats seemed unseasoned/ lacked flavor. the elote was pretty good though! just wouldn't recommend it if you're going for brisket or anything of the sort. read more

Honestly I had a lot higher hopes & expectations for this place because of the reviews but it was for sure a let down. I got the elote in a cup, nachos & quesadillas. The elote was so salty???!!! I asked my bf to try it as well and he agreed it was not good. The nachos were MID the pulled pork had no seasoning and tasted like nothing. The quesadillas were SO greasy it seeped through the parchment paper and down my sleeve and I didn't even notice so gross. The only positives was the spacious seating and the unlimited pickles but besides that this place was a solid 2 stars. read more

Staff - 5 of 5 - friendly, helpful, can advise & recommend Atmosphere - 5 of 5 - huge place, probably great to bring friends and sit at huge picnic tables, beachy. Palm trees and fish Food - 4 - smallish portions, ok BBQ but not what I expect from TX. We got the BBQ pork sandwich, small, fatty, and an ordinary bun served with a side choice of Lay's. My smoked chicken tasted just normal to me. Not smoked, and a little dry. Salad had an oil based caesar dressing. Nice shavings of parmesan. I didn't try the large croutons. Price - 3 out of 5 - at least $3-4 more than should be charged per plate Music - 5 - country appropriate Beer - 5 of 5 - Pumpkin a solid, and darker than any I've had before. Hubby got a flight that included a F Around & Find Out Stout, chocolaty; and a mango Sup with Chamoy; and El Viejo Loco which is a premium English old Ale rested for several years in Corpus Christi's own Vida Caña 18 year Rum barrels; and the Pumpkin Pie English Porter. read more

Came here because our server at grumbles told us how great this place was after we had ordered supremo's at their restaurant! Beer was fabulous and barbecue was awesome. I always get nachos whenever I see they're on the menu, so I had to do them here! They put a crazy amount of cheese and toppings, so good! read more

Good beer, good bbq. Bartending staff weak on beer knowledge. I will not go back to brew pubs that don't have knowledgeable staff. Beer lovers like to talk about it and compare notes. Why would you start a beer business and hire people who know little or nothing about beer to ruin your business? The IPA that I had was great, the peanut butter stout was great (a knowledgeable server might have mentioned the high alcohol content and limited serving size). read more

Great selection of beers and friendly customers and staff and it looks like it's a very dog friendly place, I think people come here to prorate their dogs and there were some really amazing four footers there read more

The food menu for BBQ looks good. We had already eaten though. I tried the mango gose. It was good and I do not like mango. I also samples the dill with it sour and really liked the flavor. Hubby had the citramtic ipa thought it was very tasty. We will certainly stop back by while here foe the winter in Port Anransas. read more

The service staff was truly amazing. Food was good and the atmosphere was good. We had an issue with the music ( lots of reverb going on) and asked bar staff if it could be lowered slightly. He didn't hesitate a bit . We enjoyed the company and will be back in the future. Only negative would be the parking situation. read more

This was our first stop checking out some breweries in the corpus area and it was a great starting point! They have an awesome inside area with ample seating, and a nice area outside as well with picnic tables and bistro lights and large jenga. They have a private parking lot, and a mural as well. They opened at 1130 on Saturday which was awesome. They have bbq available and some really solid beers. We unfortunately didn't try any of the food this trip, but it looked awesome! Just an FYI the online menu wasn't up to date with what was available, so just keep that in mind. Really enjoyed this place overall! It's also really close to the ocean so if you sit outside- across the road is a pretty good little view. read more

Nueces Brewing - Outside - Breweries Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Stumbled across this place when in town visiting on vacation. Food was pretty good. The atmosphere was good. Plenty of space. Easy parking right next to building. However when we walked in, not one person spoke to us. So we sat ourselves at a table and scanned the code. Well it was just for beer. We just wanted some food. I guess we should have known better that we had to order the food before we sat down. But that was all in all our only issue. read more

Food is great beer is greater. Good atmosphere friendly staff. Always a good place to eat and relax.

Slick remodel of the space. Great beer. Started with a flight to taste but settled on the devils bock. Ordered some elotes but my friend at it before I had rye opportunity to take a pic. I'll give that a thumbs up. No half pints or "short beers". Only full pints. That's a bummer. read more

Maybe I came on an off day, but I did not have a good visit here. The beer is good, but the food ended up making me sick. I got the brisket street tacos. They were cold. Were they supposed to come that way?? All the other BBQ places I've gone to the food was at least warm. I also got Hint Hint beer. Tasted good when I ate. The Queso, I think, is melted cheddar. It's not a white queso cheese. Service was top notch. I'm sure lots of people would love this spot. It just didn't work for me. Especially since it made me and the other two guests I was with nauseated. Most likely won't visit again. Sorry guys, but it's a miss for me. read more

Great bbq brisket sandwich. The beer cheese is fantastic, a must order. The pretzels are better than most.

Not only is the service great (everyone is so pleasant & helpful), but the food & beer is excellent. We have an emotional support dog & they were more than accommodating to her. What a great brewery all around! read more

Not bad. Food was decent, relatively quick. Didn't taste the beer but it looks like many of the people enjoyed it.

Big beer hall vibe, love the layout. The barbecue is quality and the selection of in-house beers is worth the visit alone. The loaded mac and cheese was my favorite! read more
