Finally had to stop in and try their food. Had the loaded baked potato with brisket and it was so delicious. Will definitely have to come back and try one of their plates. The baked potato was huge I couldn't even finish it. Loved the mustard BBQ sauce and the regular BBQ sauce had great flavor as well. The lady who took my order was super friendly and answered all my questions.

Quintessential Texas BBQ meets South Texas flare, Lavaca BBQ is a must try while you're in Victoria. The staff provided sample of the meats to help me choose what I wanted and everybody was super friendly. Bring your appetite.
I absolutely recommend Lavaca BBQ. Some of the best BBQ I've had in a long time! The staff was very polite, gave me samples, and walked me through the menu. Will definitely be back for more!
We were given a food presentation with multiple samples since it was our first time there. Super friendly staff. Delicious food. Highly recommend their cubano pork! 10/10

Wonderful and attentive staff! Great food! Definitely coming back on our next road trip.
LaVaca BBQ is always a must visit when I'm back in victoria Tx. I have always had a great food experience from the brisket to the sides. Everything is always consistent and delicious .
Didn't want to one star no choice but food is nasty 🤢 and expensive go to Mumfords BBQ on Juan linn you can a 4 meat plate for under 20$

4.5 stars here. Victoria branch of this Texas Monthly magazine top fifty in the state list. Large nondescript building, possibly an old garage with picnic tables inside on the wide open floor area. Huge ceiling fans helped cool the space on this hot day. a nice young man learning customer service invites you to ask questions and directs you to the order window. There the owner is the one taking your order. She was a real treat as she clearly loves what she and her family do. The original location is in LaVaca and her daughter is the pit master. The meat is smoked at that location and transferred to Victoria. The business is in the process of building a pit room in Victoria and when finished the process will be reversed. The menu includes the expected meats by the half pound, sandwiches, tacos & tamales, along with jumbo baked potatoes. Exciting to see pork belly but did not choose it today.
We chose the two meat platter with turkey and pork ribs. The side choices were the green beans and potato salad from a list that includes jalapeno cream corn, mac & cheese. and gumbo. The platter also came with two slices of homemade white bread which put any wonder bread to shame. After one bite it’s clear why they made the Texas Monthly list. The turkey and the pork ribs had excellent flavor with no need for any sauce (beef, Texas hot, and mustard offered here). Light peppery bark with a hint of sweetness. Beautiful pink pork with a deep burgundy smoke ring. The turkey was simply one of the best I’ve enjoyed at a BBQ spot. Moist and full of flavor.
Strangely the green beans were very, very sweet and not in a pleasant way I’m afraid. The potato salad wasn’t my favorite here either as I prefer a chunkier style. These were similar to whipped potatoes. If you like banana pudding even a little bit, I cannot recommend the version served here highly enough. Matter of fact, you might want to start with this as the meats and sides keep better as leftovers. Silky, delectable banana flavor, and topped with candied pecans. Accompanied by a house made vanilla wafer. Do not believe I have ever had the pleasure of tasting a better banana pudding then the one served here. As we left, the nice young man was offering samples and holding the rapt attention of a group who had just arrived. We were offered a brisket sample. Small and fatty, but very tasty and was great with the beef bbq sauce. Something to remember when we get here again. Can just imagine the experience being even greater once they have the onsite smoking in place. Fantastic meal made by folks that love what they do. PS-Google will not allow my photo for some reason-see Yelp

I came through there today with my cub scout pack, and we were immediately impressed with Kai. He took the time to explain a little bit about the restaurant, how everything is homemade, gave us samples, and treated us like we were VIPs. The food was great, but the experience was my favorite part. Worth the price.
