Best bbq that I had in south Texas, privately own business thats why. highly recommend
Best BBQ in the RGV hands down. GWs never disappoints. We tried their smoked pork belly and it was the bomb, aside from the brisket n turkey, which were great as well. Their sides are super tasty. Gotta have that moist sweet corn bread they offer. Central BBQ is legit in the Valley thanks to GWs, no need to travel far to get the real deal!
My wife and I have had BBQ all around Texas but GW's by far the best BBQ in the Rio Grande valley. You definitely need to get there at 11:00AM when it opens the brisket sells out quick and for good reason. Our first time visiting we had pork ribs , sides: Mac and cheese and hash brown casserole were delicious, it's has a touch of their own ingredients. I don't like corn bread but the corn bread from there is amazing, I know for Thanksgiving I will be ordering corn bread from GW's. The Cook David came over and talked to us a few times asking about the service and food "Excellent David". If you love BBQ and live in Texas you need to try GW's and that because we didn't get to try the brisket, "We will be back at 11:00AM" LOL
Amazing! Food was great. Best bbq I've had in the valley. 10/10 if you have the chance to come, COME!
Omg this was the best bbq we have ever eaten and we are from Houston. Everything we had was fresh and homemade. I ordered the Honey Butter Cornbread and that was amazing it tasted like having a cornbread muffin but a Carmel candy with it. Will be definitely coming back when we are in town.
On the recommendation of UTRGV Women's Soccer Coaches Audra and Mel we came by yesterday and this place was sold out by 1. So glad we came by early today. The B E S T BBQ we've ever had. From the signature brisket to the collard greens every bite was an explosion of flavor and Texas pride. The hospitality is the kind you'd expect from a place like this too. Great food and great people. Thanks David and the crew and GW!!!
Very good quality meat. Amazing flavor and good customer service! Waiters and workers were so helpful.
I'll start off saying that these guys probably have the best brisket and turkey I've tried in the RGV! The brisket and turkey are freshly smoked and super moist. The only negative I'd say is that they are expensive at $32/lb for the brisket, so it's probably going to be a rare treat to make the trip here from Edinburg, but it's definitely good bbq though. The bark on the brisket is tasty and it's not overly smokey, with the fatty pieces just melting in your mouth. Everything is served with fixings of your choice and white potato bread. The only side we tried was green beans and they were delicious! The service was friendly and attentive. They quickly let me know that their kitchen was closed and what meats were still available. I did have a small issue with the final bill when I noticed I was charged incorrectly for something. The owner or manager was very communicative with me online when I reached out and explained it was done in error and offered to give me a refund for the mistake which I declined. FYI, this business now charges a 4% fee on your total if you use a credit card.
This BBQ spot is good! The most notable thing about this spot is that they have the best pickles!!! They are homemade tasting pickles. They are so crunchy and have the perfect amount of sour to them. They also sell jars of them by themselves, and I will be picking myself up a jar next time. I got their brisket burger, and it was great. The server filled it up with lots of meat, and the juicy brisket was cut right in front of me. It was super moist and tender. I also tried their potato salad and mac and cheese, and both were good. They weren't anything crazy though. I also tried their original BBQ sauce, which was great. It had a tangy flavor to it, but it was not too spicy. Customer service was average. Ordering is done in a line, and they give you the food right away when paying. Ambiance of the restaurant is loud. There were lots of groups gathered for lunch from work and families eating. Environment is welcoming though, and there are plenty of tables. There is free parking in a lot in front of the restaurant. Overall, I'd recommend this spot for anyone looking for a solid BBQ spot. 9/10, and try their pickles!!
