It was a Monday night and I was the only customer at 6:00 PM. That said they were ready to feed an army if needed. I went with the 2 meat plate (ribs & sausage). Both were meaty with a rich flavor. Sides of Potato Salad and Cole Slaw were excellent as well. I suggest you have them give you... More

Being from NC we like our pork bbq. Most brisket to me in my past visits to Texas has been on the dry side. Not at the BBQ Man! Sausage and ribs were very good also. BBQ Man Restaurant isn't much to look at from the outside. Almost doesn't look like a restaurant with the high fence surrounding it. They... More

This place was pretty cool, very dive like. It is dark with wood paneling and you order cafeteria style. The workers are very efficient, and they got a lot of people through at a very busy lunch hour. We knew this was a good place when we saw all the locals walk in. The beef brisket sandwich was great, the... More

Excellent Texas Bar-B-Q. This is real Bar-B-Q. This is well known in Corpus and a favorite of the locals. A must while visiting Corpus. Excellent smoke ring on the beef and the ribs are also wonderful.

If you find yourself in Corpus Christi, you will not find better barbecue. Ribs, sauce, brisket, all are tender and delicious. All side dishes are excellent as well.

For barbecue, you can NOT find better. I eat here weekly. Spareribs, brisket, sausage, chicken, ham and turkey are consistently smoked to perfection. Tell the carver how you want your meat, i.e. small or large ribs, lean or fatter beef, or regular or hot sausage, and that is what you get. Great barbecue sauce and sides. Recommend lunch Monday -...

The Bar-B-Q Man is a real canteen style Texan restaurant. It's not too easy to find and there's nothing fancy about it. But the meats are to die for - great chicken, tender brisket, wonderful sausages. Good sized portions with a selection of sides. Non stop flow of iced tea too. Well worth searching out.
