40 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Edinburg

“I visited Vargas BBQ recently and it was an outstanding experience. I had the Tejano Plate, which came with a perfect variety of chicken, sausage, and brisket everything was seasoned beautifully. My wife had the **brisket and pork ribs, and she agreed that every bite was delicious.
The sides were the real stars of the meal; the green spaghetti was unique and flavorful, and the jalapeño cream corn had just the right amount of kick.
The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff makes you feel right at home. I’m only giving it 4.5 stars instead of a full 5 because they tend to sell out of certain items quickly due to their popularity, so make sure to get there early to catch the full menu! Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic flavor.“

“Omg where do I start:….. Best customer service the Brisket is my favorite let it be in plate or sandwich Don’t forget THE (Peach Cobbler or apple cobbler and Ice Cream) for desert. And they have a gooood Ice Tea Y’all.“

“Home , RGV to visit family, craving for BBQ and cousin suggested Ace’s BBQ figuring they knew what I loved. At Edinburg location the place was kinda hidden finding out it was well worth it… brisket was super moist, sausage was on spot, as was the pork having ordered the the huge 3 meats botana plate served over tortilla chips w/ melted cheese (I was hooked)! Well presented and served and you got my business when I return home 3 times a year over Rudy’s.. Great Job and keep it up!.. Sides were very good but I was there for the meats.“

“Buy 2 breakfast tacos and they give a free coffee... I usually get 4 and 2 coffees for like 13 bucks and all the salsa and chips plus light salad ... totally worth it ...... oh and the tortillas , whether flour or corn are just right and fresh“

“I am regular GW client and BIG fan as well. I had two good friends visiting from upstate New York who really wanted to see what the GW hype was all about for themselves. “Are they a really a top 5 Texas bbq joint?” After trying GW’s exquisite food and experiencing their one of a kind Texas/RGV hospitality, there was zero doubt left…one of the best in Texas and maybe the country! From the moment we arrived, first in line, I might add, my buddies and I were welcomed and made to feel like part of their team. Our hour and a half wait in line felt like 15 minutes after being welcomed by several of their employees. Then there was the food! We ordered BIG! From their trademark brisket, to their unique sides (like cheesy fideo), the best bite was the next that we took. We were also approached one their magnificent chefs, hosts and awesome co-owner George Watts III. GW really made my friend’s experience a memorable one and again proved that without question, they are one of the best and only getting better. Thank you George and the GW family!“

“Exceptional Food, Outstanding Service!
​My family and I are huge fans of True Texas BBQ! The food is consistently incredible, but what truly sets this location apart is the phenomenal staff. John, Ramos, and the entire team go above and beyond every single time. They’ve been beyond helpful and friendly, taking my meal planning to an exquisite level. In a time when finding a genuinely welcoming smile can be rare, this team shines. They make every visit a joy. Highly, highly recommended!“

“We had a wonderful experience at Benji’s BBQ! Even though they were about to close for the night when we arrived, the lady at the front still welcomed us in with a warm smile and seated us without hesitation.
​The Food: Absolutely delicious and well worth the visit.
​The Service: Exceptional. Our server really went above and beyond to make our night special.
​The Atmosphere: The dining area is on the smaller side, but it feels incredibly cozy and inviting.
​The prices are very decent for the quality you get. If you find yourself in the area, this spot is a must-try! We truly enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be back.“

“Just had 3 of the best barbacoa tacos I have ever had! Ordered 3 on corn tortillas and basically got 6 for that price. Not greasy and the tortillas were perfectly handmade. The way they double stack the tortillas is excellent! The photo speaks for itself! Highly recommend!“

“One of the best hot pot places I've been to in the entirety of the continental US. High quality meats, great portions for veggies. And being able to get mini tasters of the hot pot bases is incredibly helpful and unique. On top of that the service was great. Knowledge staff and very attentive without being annoying or overbearing. 10/10, no notes!“

“If you are looking for an incredible mix of traditional Texas BBQ and perfectly executed comfort food, Ace’s BBQ is an absolute must-visit in the RGV. I recently ordered their Monster Potato with Beef Fajita, and they did not disappoint. The portions are huge, the fajita is incredibly moist and flavorful, and everything was served exactly how I wanted it. Unlike some spots where the service can be hit-or-miss, the team at the McAllen location is efficient, welcoming, and consistently on point. Highly recommend stopping by if you want authentic Texas BBQ done right!“

“Just perfect! What a great time when we eat there. This time we invited a couple of friends and they were just surprised with the place, the food and the atmosphere, the service and everything. Hope next time we can have a different plate, time to try something different. Greetings from México.“

“We had early dinner. The food portions were big. Normally side salads are small to medium size in other restaurants. But the strawberry side salad was same portion as the one served with chicken. Except as a side it doesn't have chicken. waitress was so nice. She was delightful with my granddaughter and they had a little conversation before we left.“
