We found Joe's by accident and thought we would give them a try. We've had his Brisket, Ribs, Loaded Potatoes, Cheeseburgers and tonight his Street Tacos! Everything is always excellent! And I love his homemade French fries! They remind me of the ones my Mother would make. His prices are always reasonable and you get big portions. Joe's 18 year old daughter is the pitmaster and she does a wonderful job! we highly recommend this little family owned BBQ place. stop by, you won't be disappointed! Tell Joe that Don sent you!

Have eaten here twice now. Their brisket sandwich is awesome! But get the sliced brisket, not chopped. Just 2 nights ago, we had Joe's full slab of ribs. At 3:00 p.m., he only had a slab and a half left. Joe's saved the full slab for us until the storm passed. Then there was an issue of flooded streets. Joe went out and checked the streets to make sure we could get to him, then called me back!
When i arrived, Joe was at the window and motioned for me to stay in the truck. A few minutes later, Joe brought our dinner to my truck! He said he didn't want me getting wet. Totally bill for full slab of ribs, 2 orders of beans, one order of homemade fries and bread was just under $40!! His fries immediately reminded me of my Mothers homemade fries!
Joe is a very nice man & super friendly! Joe's 18 year old daughter is the Pitmaster, and she really knows how to BBQ! The only suggestion I would have is to add Cole Slaw to your menu of sides. There is also outdoor seating.
Their place is a little hard to find. Turn east at Scooter's Coffee. Go one block, turn right. He will be on the left, south side of the big building on the east side of road. If you go past the Elsa Police Department, turn around! You missed him. Joe's FatBoy is well worth the effort to find him. He does sell out quickly, so go early and check out his Facebook page.
If you're in the Elsa, TX, please check out and support this small family business! You won't regret it! Tell Joe that Don sent you!

Discovering Joe's Fat Boy BBQ south of Edinburg Ave just past the Police Dept across the Garden was a delightful surprise. Their Chopped Brisket sandwich was a moist and delicious treat. I regret not taking a picture, but I promise to do so next time. If you're in Elsa, I highly recommend a visit to The Garden at Joe's Fat Boy BBQ for some excellent, delicious BBQ.

Went to my home town to check on my rental property, it’s been awhile I haven’t stopped well today I was craving some chicken I calledJoe, he had my order ready quick and man o man! The food is always hot and full of flavor! Highly recommend this place! I’ll never forget a couple years ago he was in his food trailer I stopped for a Chicken plate and he sold out that time so I got me brisket and as I was leaving he called me a gave me a hot off the pit drumstick with bbq sauce and said “ no te completo el Plato pero si una piernita carnal”.. man that meant a lot.. stay smoking and stay blessed..
Food was absolutely delicious, service was amazing and they were all so nice. Showed us pictures of their food when we first arrived because we asked. Amazing hospitality and customer service. 10/10, you should stop by.

Unorganized , and only had 2 items available out of the whole menu. We waited almost an hour for a burger and fries and the whole line got their food before us.
After waiting 20 minutes to get a brisket sandwich and a burger they don’t bring the napkins not ketchup and drink , burger was mildly burnt and the fries were soaked in oilBrisket was falling all over the plate since they chop it up like a sloppy JoeWorst part I don’t think that many people like to enjoy dinner with a warm drink , common couldn’t even at least put ice in the ice chest to keep the drink coldCustomer service needs a lot of work , not so friendly nor do they know what’s on the menu , I’m not even sure if they were right but they insisted that the burger doesn’t come with onions so didn’t meet expectations of a bbq jointProbably will return but more than likely no
