We always enjoyed Butter's until our last visit. We used the restroom which had not been cleaned and had no soap. This means even the staff could not wash their hands.
We realize they have several Texas Monthly awards but with the lack of sanitation, those don't mean much.

Heading back to Victoria from SPI and wanted some BBQ enroute. Stopped at Butters, a little off of 77, the slight detour was well worth it. Rack of spare ribs, link sausage, potato salad, and brisket charro beans. Absolutely excellent, just excellent, and I've been smoking meat for 40 years. The only complaint I have is that I live an hour and a half away. Gonna have to triple-up my order next time.

I can’t believe how awful our experience was at a so-called Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ place. The food was nothing special — I’ve had way better — but what really broke my heart was how they treated my son.
Our 3-year-old, who has a head injury and speech delay, was happily eating and made a few excited noises. Instead of kindness, a staff member mocked him, and others laughed. Grown adults making fun of a child with a disability — absolutely disgusting.
We walked in expecting good BBQ and some Texas hospitality. We walked out sick to our stomachs. No child deserves that kind of treatment.

I’ve ate at some great BBQ joints all across the great state of Texas stretching from Marathon, Texas (out west) to North Texas, East Texas and as far south as Laredo and all around the Coastal Bend and I’ve got to hand it Butter’s BBQ some of the best BBQ I’ve had in a long time. By far the best Ribs in the state and in my opinion better bbq overall than two of Texas Monthly’s Top 10 off their most recent list. Enjoyed my visit and can’t wait to come back.

Excellent meats. Quick and friendly service. Worthy of their ranking if you ask me!

I went with my wife and son to eat here and had the Texas plate. It had brisket, ribs, sausage and turkey with three sides. Everything was phenomenal! The brisket was very moist and flavorful with very good bark. I can’t say enough about the ribs sweet and tender. Turkey was very moist. The sausage was very good and flavorful. The sides didn’t disappoint. The beans are my favorite. Big chunks of brisket and great seasonings. Potato salad was very good with just the right amount of seasonings. Elote corn very good. I’ll definitely go back in the future. Well deserving of the Texas Monthly list.

Brisket in the sandwich was flavorful and moist but maybe could have used a toasted bun. Wasn't expecting elote on the menu but it was amazing. Atmosphere wasn't anything to write home about but doesn't matter when the food is great and the staff is nice
I can't tell you if this is the best in Texas, but I had the brisket and ribs and will tell you that you will not be disappointed. Portion size was decent, not overwhelming. The sides were good, but nothing that made me want to call my momma. Parking is not convenient, you will be lucky to find a spot and might get blocked in, so I wouldn't suggest stopping 20 mins before that job interview. Definitely worth the stop and I will go back again.

Friends told us about this place and I'm glad they did. The brisket is absolutely to die for! Get there early; before they sell out. We were there on a Friday at 11 am sharp and there was a line. There isn't much atmosphere to speak of but that's not what you come here for!

This place has really earned its place on The Texas Monthly BBQ top 50 list. It's not much to look at but the food is amazing. The brisket is moist and full of flavor. The sides are good. Tea is served in huge glasses.

Brisket was DELICIOUS DEFINITELY TOP TIER. Jalapeno cheddar sausage was good but next time DOUBLE BRISKET. Potato salad and Mexican elote was really good as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Got a 2 meat plate with 2 sides and a sweet tea total with tip came to $35.
