Briskets & Beer Smokehouse

First time there, I was recommended the brisket stuffed jalapeno poppers and they did not disappoint, I would definitely recommend them and also the sampler, it has everything on it and you will leave happily and full, the brisket special plate was also good!

I stopped by Briskets & Beer Smokehouse today around 10:30 AM for a dine-in meal and was really impressed. I ordered the Brisket Quesadilla and a Barbacoa Taco—both were well-cooked, flavorful, and I didn’t need any extra seasoning at all. You could really taste the quality in every bite. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and was nicely presented. The staff were friendly and on point, making the whole experience smooth. At $4.39 each, the portions were generous and well worth the price. You definitely get your money’s worth here. They're open from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, so it’s a great spot if you’re craving quality BBQ earlier in the day. I’ll definitely be back!

Ernie’s special was NOT a miss! Especially their sides! Brisket was cooked just right, the sauce is Smokey and sweet, sausages taste just as amazing!

The brisket seemed to be oven baked and not smoked, portion was small too... sides were okay, I had cream corn and potato salad... nothing amazing. Sausage tasted okay but was kinda rubbery. Service was good and servers were attentive... Atmosphere wasn't too inviting... dining area was very dimly lit. The place used to be of better quality in previous years

Traveling in town for work and wanted to try their beef ribs. The ribs were tasty, and their coleslaw was excellent. Although I ordered my meal to go, the staff was also very polite. Well worth the visit if in the area.

Delicious food, the caldo de res is spectacular! friendly staff, excellent service Affordable prices.

This was my first time eating here. I had the brisket, beans and potato salad plate. This place gets really crowded during lunch time and the parking is not that great. So I would recommend getting here at 11:30 a.m. or at 1:30 p.m. if you plan on doing lunch. The brisket was tender enough to cut with a plastic fork. The beans tasted just like my homemade beans. I will definitely revisit this barbecue joint next time I go to Laredo!

A Laredo treasure. It is always a great idea to go eat here. Plenty of options to choose from. I am never disappointed.

We had the brisket plate and the brisket loaded, baked potato, both of them were absolutely delicious. I would definitely come back here if I were in town again. Staff was friendly. Just walk in and sit down. Yummm!

I have no idea how this place has decent reviews. The barbecue was all reheated, or at least that's what it tasted like. The sauces were horrible. The only thing I liked about this place was a bag of chips I got. I would not recommend this place at all.

Great spot, family-operated hole in the wall. Try the brisket breakfast tacos. I'll be back.

I am not from Laredo and found this little hidden jewel of a restaurant by accident. This is actually my second time here, and this restaurant continues to have an unbelievable consistency in their food and service. Carmen, Sandra and Michelle. Always makes you feel right at home. The first time I was here for breakfast and had the Menudo, it smelled absolutely delicious, the meat was so tender and so many flavor nuances made it so worth it, and the house made tortillas made it even better. The last time I was here they were out of the pork spare ribs, well today, I was able to order some today along with the jalapeño smokers, which are large jalapeño chilies stuffed with A creamy seasoned cream cheese wrapped with smokehouse bacon, simply out of this world good, they do it right! Serving staff Are always very friendly and helpful with the menu, always smiling. I was able to meet again the what I am thinking Owner/Manager Eduardo, was very pleasant to see and have a feeling he cultivates a very family oriented atmosphere for his staff. Highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion whether it be Mexican food or barbecue they do it right. Until Next time Chef Ron

Service was fast and friendly and the food was amazing. I recommend getting the brisket and creamed corn as that was what I ordered and I'm still wanting to go back and get more. The atmosphere is what you would expect for Laredo but it lead to a very nice, relaxed ambiance.

We had to drive around the block twice to find the parking lot (behind the smokehouse, east)! Enter the parking lot just north off of Chihuahua. It was well worth the effort. Don't let the outside fool you. The inside has great decor, and very clean. The service was good, the brisket and ribs were tender and mesquite smoked (per the owner). The sides we ordered were good: creamed corn, coleslaw, & beans. It was 3:00 pm and they close at 4:00 pm, so they were not busy. The man at the table beside us said the 1/2 chicken is wonderful too. I'm sorry I didn't take pictures before diving in!!

The food was really good. Service was good. The only thing that truly doesn't work is the parking. Nevertheless it wouldn't deter me from eating there. I equally like that it was nice and quiet at the time I went but when I went again it was the usual amount of noise. Nothing too bad.

If you're looking for a good brisket place, this has amazing brisket and a large menu with variety. Last time I went I had the Po'Boy sub and jalapeño poppers that has a special creme cheese with bits of brisket in it. Too good!

Tried this place for lunch based upon the good reviews. Very easy to pass it due to the small sign out on the main road and the restaurant is setback from the street quite a bit. See photo of signage road so you don't pass it up. Restrooms are located outside before you enter the main restaurant just FYI Ordered the sampler platter to try everything. Has brisket, pork ribs, beef ribs, sausage, and chicken with 2 sides $19. Kind of dark inside to me, could use additional lighting. Metal utensils, paper napkins, and ceramic plates. Inside is pick nick type tables and benches. Food arrived quickly. Potato salad is mayo based not mustard so I did not really like it. Pork rib, brisket, and chicken was all very tender but nothing had a smoked flavored and appears to be done in an oven? Which is fine but I prefer the smoky taste in bar b q. Beef rib was disappointingly over done and a bit tough/ dry. Sadly I left most of it. The staff was very friendly and I wish them the best. Based on the other reviews it's possible I just caught them on a bad day, I hope so. I'll give them another try in a month or two when I'm back in town

Very good brisket, nice shop. The circle k nearby has the lowest gas prices I've seen. I'd go back when in Laredo.

Super cool joint with a true edge on BBQ. I opted for the sampler. There is lots of meat, beef ribs, pork ribs, sausage, chicken, and THE BEST BRISKET. Forget about everything else, the brisket is great.

Ordered the 1/2 barbeque chicken and it was so good plus the sweet corn is out of this world. The only thing is that the place is small and had to wait for a table during lunch.

I love this place. We get breakfast here at least 3 times a week. We love the spicy brisket a la Mexicana taco. It's a must try for anyone who eats here. Their lunch is super delicious too! Excellent BBQ. I love the brisket and sausage sandwich. Try the jalapeno smokers, they are stuffed with brisket and cream cheese. They are so, so good!

Oh my god I haven't been to this place in forever but we literally had our wedding reception here. Fabulous place; this is hands down the best brisket in Laredo and probably some of the best in Texas (don't tell anyone in Austin I said that.) I somehow forgot it existed until right now but I've gotta go back for sure. I can't believe how yummy the place is.

Truly, the best, most tender brisket I have ever had!!! I have eaten bbq and brisket all over the US and never have I found better. I thought it might have been done sous vide style but no, the owner said---done outside on the smoker. Such a magnificent surprise. I had the Tuesday special which included Cole slaw and another side. I chose the excellent cream corn. All perfect to be washed down with a beer. I'm not a white bread fan, don't eat pickles but all I had to do was to ignore that. The rest was so outstanding. The place is cozy and the staff is cheerful, efficient and helpful. My biggest complaint? It is not available in my town! I loved it.

I ordered delivery from this restaurant on a Saturday nite. The entire meal top to bottom was awesome! Had 2 meat plate-brisket & sausage. Perfect! Sides cream corn & pinto beans were great. Got a kids size spaghetti for later & to my delight it was great. I really need to get out of motel & find this place. I'm down here once weekly and this is by far the best food I've ate down here.

Wow, Yummy! Upon checking into the Best Western Hotel on Santa Ursula Ave in Laredo, TX we asked if they could recommend a good BarBQ place; after-all we are in Texas ! The Registration Clerk sent us to this place; the food was fabulous; so good we will probably go back today before we get back on the road! Atmosphere is very casual and the staff are very efficient and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and the experience!

Great food at every visit! The menudo on the weekend or the brisket jalapeños you can't go wrong eating here.

Excellent food and great service. The type of place you definitely have to try if you're from out of town. The brisket and chicken were amazing. A true, fresh, and genuine BBQ place!

Can't believe I have been coming to Laredo for over 16 years and I never ate here.............until yesterday! What a great atmosphere, this is NOT a chain. This is a small independent family owned BBQ joint thats well known amongst locals. I tried the brisket and sausage plate, and was not disappointed. I also took bites of my wife's Loaded Bake potato with sliced turkey, and it took both of us to finish it off as it was such a large portion. For dessert we had the homemade peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was delicious, and left us wanting more. Next time we are town we will definitely be back as it is now one of our favorites here in Laredo

Outstanding!!!! We will definitely be back ! We drove to Laredo for a day trip and was 'jonzin' for good BBQ. After searching Yelp for suggestions, we ended up here. My husband had the turkey leg & a pulled pork wrap while I opted for bbq chicken and pork ribs. Everything was amazing. The Spanish Rice gets rave reviews. I am a snob when it comes to rice & it passed my test. The only problem we had was locating the restaurant. The online maps and navigators got us lost several times due to construction.

Real good food. Jalapeño Smokers and avocado salad with chopped brisket are my go-to items.

This is One of the best barbecue places I have ever been to. The prices are not too bad. I will definitely be coming here again, this is a go to place when I am in town.

I absolutely love the chicken and creamed corn. I usually get it delivered using bite squad. I've never had a problem with anything here. The BBQ is great!!!

My family loves this place, the BBQ Chicken is one of my favorite because it's so tender and juicy. You must try the stuffed jalapeños (Stuffed with cream cheese and brisket) they are the bomb!!! I highly recommend this place is you crave real BBQ

The. Brisket and sausage is super good but they really need to work on their sides especially cream corn. The brisket keeps me coming back though

I've been to this place for years and I love it. The breakfast and lunch are both out of this world. The brisket tastes great. Get it sliced or chopped. The environment is nice and friendly and customer service there is great. This food tastes great but don't take my word for it, come by and try it for yourself.

Good BBQ choice when you are in Laredo, TX. They serve good amounts of food and the price is really fair. I took my father here once and has been bugging to go back. Try this spot when you craving some brisket or a large bake potato with a lot of topping.l and you will not be disappointed.

Amazing Brisket and the jalapeño smokers are over the top. If I lived here it would be my go to BBQ joint for life

The best brisket in town...period. Located in the Heights area, this restaurant is very clean, the staff and owner are very friendly. Their menu offer a great variety of smoked brisket, chicken and sausage items. All very tasty and at affordable prices! After having brisket from Briskets & Beer, I can't help but compare it to other places that sell brisket and nothing beats Briskets & Beer! The brisket is not fatty and has a rich smoke flavor. Their homemade BBQ sauce is really good. The potato salad and coleslaw are really good too. Their "smoked jalapeño poppers" (bacon-wrapped jalapeños with cheese and chopped brisket inside) are delicious. You need to try them! I highly recommend this place!

Great smoked bbq!!! They have brisket and beers (obviously), ribs, chicken, sausage and even salads. Loaded potatoes are great if you want meat on your spud.

Beans were ok. The brisket was moist and the pork rib was very good. Worth going to.

My mouth just waters recalling the loaded potato I had. If you are true Texan carnivore this is your go to place, disclaimer skip a meal to enjoy the Big portions,savory Texas brisket or the meat of your choice with sweet tea.

Stopped in here for lunch today. Friendly staff and good variety on the menu. Be careful driving here as it's easy to miss the entrance. I had the special today which was the brisket plate, bread, and two sides. I chose potato salad and beans. The brisket was super tender. Nice smoke ring on the meat. Very tasty. The beans were awesome with lots of flavor. The potato salad was a little bland. The staff is fluently bilingual which is always a plus.

Arrived there at around 7:15pm this past Friday, and the place was already closed for the day. It was suppose to have been open till 9:00pm So my date with my wife was ruined by the owners because they decided to either close early or maybe not even open for that particular day. In the end, we had dinner at Glass Kitchen since we were already in the area.

Wow! We are still talking about the amazing smoked bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers.The BarBQ sauce was outstanding on the perfectly cooked brisket served in a large fresh bun with coleslaw! Wish we had this place in Oregon. Delicious food, ice cold beer, and great service! Don't need a fancy place when the food is this good!

Great And friendly service. Excellent food and a good selection on refreshments. Will definitely be coming back. Over all place was kept clean which is a big plus in my book.
