15 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Harlingen

“I dont know, How do you leave a review to a very popular buisness without getting belittled/bashed.. the owner Karina thinks so highly of herself ..you'd think someone thats been through so much wouldnt act so childish or rude towards a customer.. at this point its not even the issue I had with the food anymore its the way it was handled by the owner herself.. literally saying im lieing.. arguing back and forth was very very unprofessional.. she handed the phone to Anna without me even knowing.. just to shut me up.. well Anna which i believe is more mature ..handled things more calm and collective. It wasn't even about getting refunded or credit.. but more of a "hey just a heads up this was my experience" and BAMM.. raising her voice !!! Lost my appetite and total respect for the buisness.. ive dined in oredered doordash.. they've even delivered to me and my kids before. I've supported this buisness just to get yelled at !! I recommended the place because yes they have potential but dam dont disagree or complain.. customers dont come first at least not in my situation.. or experience.. all in all God Bless“

“Had an amazing experience and great food!“

“Rolling Smoke BBQ is now located at the Moon Rock but they also do a fabulous job catering! Today they brought an outstanding brisket meal served with the best potato salad ever, their signature beans, rice & trimmings. Ennete, David and family personally served our church congregation a plate full of deliciousness as we celebrated our 2025 graduates. Thank you!“

“Got the brisket nachos combo tonight at the Lighting of the Arroyo. Good price point, very tasty food with amazing customer service. 10/10!“

“My son had been there and I really liked their Barbacoa! Went to my usual place on north 77 for barbacoa and couldn't believe the line all the way to the street and knowing that once I make it in they're going to tell me they're out like before so I called Capistran on F street and was told they had plenty so I went over there and was able to get in without the hassle of waiting and like I said before their barbacoa is excellent and well drained. It's nice to know I have this choice now. I'll be going there and getting my tortillas and barbacoa now. Thanks Capistran!“

“My wife and I ate a sliced and a chopped beef sandwich for lunch today Beef was good BUT both our buns were burnt BLACK top and bottom. I told our waitress we didn’t ask for “well done”! She smiled and left. They were awful. WILL NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN. What a pity !“

“10/10 !!! I ordered the Buffalo Papa & it was AMAZING 🔥 Highly recommend !! Service is amazing and very welcoming !🥰“

“The food what delicious despite us showing up 40 minutes before closing.. The cashier was in a rush to go home but who wouldn't be.. 😅.. I would say over all it was a great experience. They never disappoint and I look forward to visiting soon...“

Not only did he cook our food amazing but he was very friendly and talked with all the customers GREAT! Such a positive vibe and atmosphere all around. Keep it up!“

“Happen to see this restaurant while looking for a place to eat with my family. Decided to stop and eat here. Eating at a lot of cafes I just usually expect it to look and be similar on the inside. If you know then you know. This place was definitely not that. Walking in I instantly noticed how clean and how it was decorated. It was a nice modern feel. We was instantly greeted and had a friendly conversation struck up. The owners was super awesome taking good care of the service at our table and being very friendly. We all had Breakfast food and it was great! If you’re looking for a place to eat please give this place a try. Hopefully you will enjoy your visit as much as we did!“

“I highly recommend this place to eat. The brisket is so flavorful and fresh. We order the botana for 2, it could feed 3-4. We had nothing to take in a to go box! The drinks are also good and they have AWESOME sweet tea. I wish I found this place sooner.“

“I really like the food here. The chicken fried steak is better than all the other nearby places. Their parmesian chicken is also really good. The staff is always really good as well. Almost forgot, the chocolate stampede is a great dessert too.“

“Everything about Text Roadhouse!“
