Food amazing! Service and workers are super friendly and awesome. Atmosphere takes you back to the old days. The only BBQ spot that still has a really good huge salad bar. Highly recommended!!!

BBQ is ok but it is an old establishment that has been there for years and when you walk in the smell of old smoke is a little overwhelming. Very pricey.

The sausage was good, the brisket was cooked well, nice smoke but a little bland for my taste, I do not use BBQ sauce which this definitely needed. It was not dry, just could have used more flavor in my opinion.

This is my first time eating
at Howard's Barbecue. I went to the drive-thru. I'll tell you
It is the best barbecue I've eaten in a very, very long time. I got a sliced brisket with sausage on a bun. It was delicious. They are very, very generous with their meat. Sometimes you go to places and you want to know where the meat is. Also, it was not greasy. Their barbecue sauce is perfect. I loved it, I ate some of their potato salad and I am very picky about potato salad and it was great. Most barbecue places their Potato salad has so much mustard in it that it just overwhelms the potato flavor. Not this place, it was so good. There was nothing that I did not enjoy. The lady at the drive-thru was so nice and friendly. I enjoyed my conversation with her while I waited which wasn't very long at all. I would give this place a ten-star rating if they had them, excellent food!!! I will definitely come back with my husband and friends and I will send anybody and everyone to eat there. Thank you for having such exceptional food.
At very reasonable prices I wish I had a photo of it but I ate it too quickly.

Brisket was dry sides were horrible worst place to eat BBQ

Two stars for service bc the guy serving the brisket was a nice guy but the lady who charged me my food, overcharged, I looked at the prices before and she charged me sides for a brisket sandwich. She didn’t offer Mac and cheese, she wasn’t pleasant at all to me. She did tell me I could the sides from the side bar area only after I asked if it came with sides. Would never go back just based on that experience. The food was bland, flavorless and dry. The food was not made with love I can tell you that. Just my opinion, not worth the money for the service I got and the food.

No complaints at all, one of the best barbecue places here in Corpus Christi.
They are and were extremely generous with the meat portions.
My girl had the 3 meat poboy with brisket, sausage and chopped beef. That sandwich was HUGE!
I had the 3 meat plate with 2 sides
I had the moist brisket which was mouthwatering, I had the jalapeno sausage, extremely tasty and I had the pork ribs.
Everyone in Corpus Christi, there's a reason people keep coming back, if you're new to Corpus Christi or if you're here on vacation, Howard's Barbecue is definitely a must!

Great tasting BBQ. 3 of us for lunch joined a friendly lunch crowd. We had the very delicious and moist brisket, chicken and pork ribs. Each of us had a bit different sides but all were good. Choice of “serve yourself” salad greens, green beans, pinto beans, Cole slaw, potato salad and all the Fixings; onion, pickles and jalapeño peppers and sliced bread. Soft drinks were Coke fountain drinks and an iced tea station, both sweet and unsweetened tea.

This place has been around for years. Have always heard about it and today was my first visit. Interior is a bit dated and men’s restroom was a bit dark but ok. Hand soap and sink worked.

Aside from the aesthetics, food was Good stuff!! Sorry I didn’t get any pics. Will definitely return.

It was a good time.
The food was good.
NOT the best but good.

Service was on point, I love the old-school feel inside, with plenty of room.

I'll return.

This was some of the best BBQ ever ever had. It's absolutely world class. We're visiting San Antonio from KC, and I've had BBQ from all the KC greats. The brisket was so tender and delicious. The ribs were perfect and meaty. The salad bar was super clean and really fresh. You absolutely must try this spot!
