It looks clean at least. But if you like hearing people yell about politics, no matter what your position is, then the atmosphere is ok. The bbq itself was the biggest disappointment though. Smallest 1/2lb I've ever seen and super plain. You can tell it wasn't good by all of the nearly empty sauce bottles.

So it is my first time ever trying this, food didn't take long to come out, portions were good and brisket was surprisingly good, although im sad to say my favorite side dish is mac but this one was unbelievably disgusting, it was room temperature & tasted so fake and not authentic at all. i wont be ordering their mac ever, it was nasty.

After eating at numerous bbq places throughout the valley and Blacks BBQ in New Braunfels, we decided to try Aces BBQ. 1st, the service was fantastic! I ordered the 4 rib and moist brisket plate, and my wife ordered the moist brisket and chicken plate. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our plates. The ribs had a smokey flavor and were very moist. They paired extremely well with the sweet BBQ sauce. The brisket was actually the most moist brisket I've ever had, and I've eaten alot of brisket. My only recommendation was, it needed just a little spice, but also paired extremely well with the bbq sauce. The rice and beans side was also extremely good. Overall, we loved it here, and they have gained a repeat customer.

The food and service is always amazing. Service is always with a smile and quickly. The food is so delicious and we're always trying new plates. The fish tacos are one of my favorite and we always get the brisket nachos

Went to have lunch with a client, I was a little embarrassed, my client’s brisket plate was disappointing, brisket looked raw and mushy, I ordered bbq chicken, which was good, but potato salad was so hard and not edible.

Food was nothing to brag about. They gave me 2 slices of bread instead of a bun for my chopped sandwich. Potato salad was bland, Fried pickles were over- fried and had no flavor of pickle, batter could have had more flavor. My friend at the table said it was the worst margarita he had ever had.

The server made me ask him twice for my glass of tea. No, that is not a deal-breaker, but it shouldn't happen if you are a top-notch server.

Was pretty disappointed the Catfish was so small. I mentioned it to the waitress and she agreed. This was my go to for Catfish in the Valley. I understand food prices are increasing but if portion sizes are decreasing make it known ahead of time.
The food was great. I had the turkey sandwich, my son had the bacon cheese burger (which looked awesome), and my husband had the two meat plate brisket and sausage. All our plates were empty when we left. Oh, the corn bread is awesome. Our server was polite, knowledgeable, and checked on us often. Super service and food.

No Diet coke, the prices are quite high, which wouldn't be an issue except we waited for our food a while. Nothing was hot on our plates, the salad wasn't cold. Very disappointed, will not return. Ordered the sliced moist brisket, and it was dry. Ruby's is better, and less expensive. And they have Diet Coke and Diet Dr Pepper. The bonus is, not only are the prices high, but they charge you for using a debit card, at aces. NRJ.

We went in because we got a gift certificate from the school district for our daughter, we were skeptical because we had never dined there before. Service was great, thank you Alma ?. They have a variety of foods to choose from , usually our daughter has brisket but she decided to try the tenders they were great quality and had a great taste. Everything in our table had a good flavor to it and was freshly made.
Kid-friendliness: It’s always a plus to see a restaurants’ effort into making the kids selection of food as flavorful as ours.
