While there's some debate as to whether beef ribs should fall off the bone or just be pullable off the bone, there is NO debate that beef ribs should be so tough as to be unchewable and be so difficult to cut through the server had to get a second, sharper knife to cut through them. I ordered two beef rib plates (one with sausage added) and when I got home neither my wife nor I could tear the meat off the bone. There was plenty of fat under the bark, but the meat itself was like shoe leather. There was smoky flavor, but it stayed with the meat that refused to release its grip on the bone. The two plates cost over $50 and it was the worst 50 bucks I've ever spent on food. Absolutely the worst beef ribs I've EVER come across. AVOID THE BEEF RIBS AT SILVERADO. My reviews here in the past have been favorable. Something terrible has happened here. read more

On July 3, 2026 I rented the Silverado Smokehouse Party Room for a special family event/dinner. I provided the menu to the Silverado's staff member, paid prior to the event, and was allowed to decorate one hour before the event. The food was excellent, as always, and the Silverado staff did a superb job. My family had a great time, and the dinner was delicious. We had leftovers, and the Silverado's staff provided takeout containers, and no food was wasted. After the dinner, I gladly paid the much earned tip. If you want to enjoy a great meal, and need a party room/meeting room, I recommend Silverado Steakhouse, and their great staff. They were very attentive in making sure everything was going as planned. After the event, the staff cleaned the party room. They are the best in Corpus Christi, Texas. read more

Excellent pork and beef ribs. Meaty and very flavorful with sauce on the side. For sides we had potato salad, potatoes and gravy, corn bread. Plus the usual pickles, onions and jalapeños. Very friendly staff. Kind of an older building with comfortable seating. Not fancy, just good. Enjoy. read more

Me and my little sister were in the mood for some amazing Bar B Q and every since I was young living in Corpus Christi Silverado was the place to go for some good tasting Bar B Q! The location is pretty easy to find and the parking is vast since it shares a parking lot with other businesses around the area. Once you arrive inside the establishment you have that western atmosphere and the smell of the Bar B Q hits you and makes your mouth water! Once walking up to the lines you have a vast majority of meats and sides to choose from. From pork and beef ribs, to sausage and brisket. It's all there for your liking and the sides are amazing as well!!! Mac & cheese to homemade mashed potatoes with white or brown gravy!!!! Mmmmmmmmmmmm! The price is reasonable (especially since its Bar B Q), and the service is great! Theres butter, jalapeños, salsa, and other condiments for you at the mini bar and once you're done there is self serve ice cream if you even have any more room for your stomach! I love coming here with family and friends and this place is a definite must if you are in the mood for some good ol fashion Bar B Q! So stop on bye and have one amazing meal! Thank You Silverado! read more

Excellent food! Tasty and you choose and receive immediately. Perfect since we're starving. So glad we stopped by after a friend sent us. Def coming again! read more

Their brisket is delicious and full of moisture and yumminess. The service is great and the sides range from potato salad, corn on the cob, salads, green beans, pinto beans, Mac n cheese to special sides on a daily special. I love the stewed zucchini and their cornbread stuffing. I forgot they serve beer and wine too. The restaurant is decorated like a rustic cowboy vibe. Perfect for a bbq. I've even had a few company parties here and msn the staff and the food don't disappoint. Try them. You won't regret it. It will be your new favorite place read more

I don't know what all these one star giving KARENS are yacking about! Don't believe them. Silverados is one of the best brisket joints around. And I'm picky as hell! Try it yourself!! The marbled brisket is the truth!! And for those who don't like fox, order to go and watch your own tv at home! Sheesh smh read more

I don't know what the 3 stars are for. We give them 3 Star. One week we went 2 days in a row!! Yummy!!Juicy!! Tasty!! Amazingly deliciout!!!

The food is great however I have to say you alienate half your clientele by having Fox on TV in your restaurant.

As a bred, born, and raised Texan, I know my BBQ as good or better than most folks ever will, just sayin', not braggin'. I've eaten a lot of BBQ in my lifetime and in my travels. I am a self proclaimed BBQ Judge, and if I say it's good or bad, delicious or alright, or maybe even, Slap Yo Momma Good, you can take that to the bank. A coworker and I had dinner here tonight, and we were totally satisfied. We were both first timers, but we won't be last timers. The place was clean, and the staff was friendly. The brisket was moist, had a great smoke flavor, and smoke ring, and the bark was decent. I would rate their brisket at very good. I also had their pinto beans which were good, and their potato salad which was also good. You can get all of the onions, pickles, and peppers you want at no charge. I also had the sausage, and man oh man, it was Slap Yo Momma Good !!! They do have a decent BBQ sauce, but with the brisket being very good, it's not needed. You see, if you have to add sauce to add flavor, well then my friend, it's not very good brisket. I'll be back to try some of their other meats and sides, but until then, this place is worthy of a bookmark, and a try, if you're passing through, or if you live or work near-by. read more

All was WONDERFUL about this establishment! HIGHLY recommend SILVERADO SMOKEHOUSE! We were a party of nine, had no issues with seating (although it was just after lunch on a Monday). Staff was pleasant and the food was DELICIOUS! The brisket was absolutely delicious and OH SO TENDER! No complaints from anyone at our table! WOULD DEFINITELY go back again! read more

If you like dried out Sausage and Brisket the Silverado is the place for you. This was absolutely the worst BBQ I have ever had. I also tried the Pork Ribs, they were at least edible, but barely. $15 worth of Sausage and Brisket in the trash. read more

Silverado Smokehouse - Dries out yuck! - Smokehouse Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

My family REALLY wanted bbq while I was visiting Corpus. This place is NOT bbq. It's oven cooked meats with hardly any seasoning. The brisket will go down as the worst I've ever had. Seriously, cheap cut of meat with absolutely zero bark, no smoke flavor and no smoke ring. The meat was almost pale in color. Sausage was gross, and I'm convinced it was undercooked. Sadly, meats like this is what bbq sauce was made for. If it's so bad, why did I give it two stars? Because the people were super nice, the line moved quickly, ease of ordering, and cleanliness. Do yourself a favor, skip this place and go order a pizza. read more

The beef ribs alone is worthy of 5 stars. They were extremely tender & just the right amount of smokiness. Very generous portions were given for all meats & sides by friendly employees. Different combinations to choose from with very reasonably priced items. The cornbread muffins are complimentary & tasty. read more

Silverado Smokehouse - Beef ribs, pulled pork, mac n cheese, cornbread muffins - Smokehouse Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

The pork loin was excellent, and overshadowed the beef rib, sausage, and brisket. The selection of sides is better than most others in Corpus. Sivarado smokehouse is a solid 3.5 stars, the pork loin was 4.5 stars. I ate lunch here today for the 2nd time in 7 years. Since I moved to Corpus 7 years ago, my appreciation for what a BBQ restaurant is supposed to be has grown, so I decided to give Silverado another shot. It seemed from the reviews that the beef rib was the signature dish and I was hungry, so I got that with 3 meats and 2 sides. The pork loin was so flavorful and smokey with the right amount of salt and tenderness that it out-shined the rest of the meal. The spicy sausage was good, the brisket was moist, and the beef rib was fine, but not really my cup of tea. There was a larger selection of sides than I was used to at a BBQ joint. There was even fresh salad. The mashed potatoes were real, the correct consistency, tasty, and came with my choice of light or dark gravy. The mac and cheese had too much velveeta for my liking, and I would have preferred a cheese sauce with more sophistication. The corn bread, to my surprise, did not taste good. I had 1 bite and that was it. I'll come here again to try the fowl and some of the healthier sides. Lastly, the staff was very friendly, and the ambiance was what you'd expect from a Texas BBQ. read more

The value vs amount cannot be beat. I love their double rib double meat combo at $30!!! It's a tradition for me to bring friends and family who've never had this. Beef rib is a must try! read more

I've been coming everyday for lunch for the last month and I just can't get enough of this place. There bbq is absolutely amazing and deliciously homemade, the meats are all freshly cooked and juicy. Atmosphere is nice in here with welcoming employees always! They also come to the table and check up on you which is nice as well considering it's more like a cafeteria style. Love this place and absolutely thankful my grandparents told me about it! read more

Had an occasion to have lunch here. It'd been a while since I'd been to Silverado and now I'm kicking myself for waiting so long! I wanted to see what all the fuss was with the "big rib," but I also wanted to get my usual brisket and sausage. Well, the folks behind the counter were so nice - they let me order the "Rib + 1" plate and SPLIT the extra meat between some brisket and some sausage. How cool is that?? So, okay, service gets a major star for that one. And it just got better from there. The brisket (cut from the point) was super moist, oh-so-tender and had great, smoky flavor. It was a tad under seasoned, but I didn't mind that at all. The sausage was okay. I'm pretty sure they don't make their own, but I couldn't tell where this one came from. But, the home-run-out-of-the-park WINNER was that AWESOME rib!! It just pulled away from the bone - very tender, juicy and full of flavor. Excellent, EXCELLENT! About the only let downs were the sides and the sauce. Although, to be honest, NONE of the meats I tried needed sauce, but I was curious enough to try it. If you like an über-sweet sauce, this is for you......it ain't for me. The potato salad was okay, but a little bland. The cole slaw was too drippy and equally lacking in flavor. Prices are a little on the high side, but not too bad. Again, though, super friendly folks; service was top drawer. I'm looking forward to come back.....a lot sooner..... read more

Amazing meal! HOWEVER ... every time I go for lunch the snotty grouchy old lady that can barely walk is so rude. I don't know what's wrong with her but all the warm smiles and friendliness goes out the door when you get your sides. The lady at the register tried to apologize and told me they always have problems with her. The good was wonderful and most. I love the lunch rush and always pleased. Good food - get rid of the old lady with the bad attitude! read more

This place was recommended by a local and Yelp gave it 4 stars. Silverado offers traditional BBQ cafeteria style. The staff is extremely friendly and polite, 5 stars!! The food however wasn't as impressive but tasty. The brisket was tender and moist but lacked smokey flavor that I enjoy. The pork ribs we seasoned well and smoked tender. Sides were average with the exception of their stewed zucchini. It was perfect! Wish more BBQ joints offers it as a side. read more

Silverado Smokehouse - Pork ribs, brisket, coleslaw and steamed zucchini - Smokehouse Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

One of the best BBQ places in town. It's pricey but good Q always is. Moist brisket with medium smoke - can choose lean or fatty, and they have burnt ends so ask! Love the giant beef ribs, Flintstone size. One or two if you're starving makes a meal. They're tender and juicy which is next to impossible with beef ribs. This is the only place i buy beef ribs. The pork ribs are smoky, tender and flavored with lots of dry rub, with perfect bite, not overcooked and falling off the bone. Sausage is amazing! Choose regular or spicy. It's meaty and crispy. The turkey used to be good but lately it tastes like injected turkey roll. Yuk. I don't eat BBQ chicken unless I cook it myself so I can't help you there. The sauce is good and needed since they serve dry style. They serve plates, sandwiches, or by the pound and link. We always get it by the pound and freeze leftovers for later (if there are any!) There are a lot of sides but none are worth writing home about. Mediocre at best. Most lack spice or salt or are mushy. Potato salad is the best bet. If the sides were as great as the meat, I would have given them 5 stars. read more

I eat here often for lunch and love the chicken, sausage, beef ribs, green beans and pinto beans. Real good Q! They also have free soft serve swirl ice cream. Great staff and clean dining room. The cornbread and turkey are not great. Overall real solid Texas BBQ. read more

Legitimately bad and disappointing. To be honest reminded me of cafeteria food. Small portions. Their party of 6 platter was enough meat for MAYBE four people. Overcooked brisket. Super dry and tasteless. Ribs were super tasteless and boring. The barbecue sauce was so bad, worse than many many store bought bbq sauces you can find. Sides were all trash. Really just not good. Avoid. read more

Briquet was tender but did not have a smokey flavor?? Beef ribs are absolutely HUGE! Not like any beef rib I have ordered before elsewhere. Seriously it's like eating a huge steak. Very good but not really a smokey flavor. Brussels sprout were very good, the cole slaw was a bit sweet but good. Cashier very friendly and courteous. Guy you order your meat from and sets up your plate, not so much. :(. Grumpy would describe his answers to how large are the beef ribs. He pointed to someone's plate further down the line... To be called Silverado SMOKE House, none of the meat tasted like it was cooked or smoked on a fire pit. That being said, meats were very tender and full of flavor with very large portion size. With the exception of the line dude, everything else was good. A bit pricey compared to other Bar-B-Q spots for lunch. However I could not finish my meal so could order just one meat next time I would recommend and I'll be back for more ribs. read more

Food is bland and they CHARGE you for extra bbq sauce and it wasn't cheap! So disappointed.

This is not bbq. These people need to go take a class from Aaron Franklin and learn how to smoke bbq. The brisket was dry and tasted like roast. The pulled pork was stewed. No smoke flavor at all. The best thing on my plate was the tossed salad and my miller light. A truly sad day for Texas BBQ and a waste of $35 dollars. read more

This place has the most tender, melt in your mouth pork ribs. I have yet to be disappointed with this place. Side orders are pretty good, but corn bread is nothing to get excited about, but I don't go there for the sides. My parents always get the beef ribs and I've tasted them and I thought they were a little bland. I'm not sure what they season the pork ribs with, but they are delicious and so I never deviate from this choice. Service is friendly and the place is very clean. I have never been disappointed, and keep going back for those yummy, pork ribs. read more

Every time I come here I get the poor boy grande. It has brisket, chopped beef and sausage. I love this place so much.

Was expecting a lot better. Brisket was dry, sausage was just ok. Sides were nothing to write home about.

The food is good price is right. Big cuts of meet on each plate with large side survings. I got the beef rib and it was so delicious. The girl even added a little bit more rib meet to my plate. Perfect amount of fat on the top of the meet with delicious flavor. This place would get more stars if they had real dinner plates and waiters. read more

Very good BBQ. I highly recommend the beef ribs! Good sides and reasonable pricing for BBQ.

We drove to CC to eat at Millers BBQ not knowing they are closed on Sundays. Well it's a good thing they are, otherwise we would have never discovered Silverado's! I had the best beef ribs I've ever had in my life! They are meaty, and so fall off the bone tender! I also had the cornbread stuffing with turkey gravy (very good) and corn on the cob. Hubby had the jalapeño sausage, mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob. Nice ambience, excellent service! I have found a new favorite bbq spot in Corpus Christi! YUM! read more
