I was in the food business for 20 years so I have some perspective. This was the best bbq imaginable. The citrus pork ribs were smoked to perfection, flavorful and succulent. The brisket was tender and very moist. For sides I had the Mac n cheese, scrumptious and the honey butter cornbread, seriously the best cornbread I’ve ever eaten. All and all, food quality and service, the only reason I’m giving GW five stars is because there aren’t 6 or 10 stars to give. Oh, yeah I almost forgot, GW is ranked the 5th best bbq in Texas.

GW’s is the definition of Texas BBQ – customer service, plating, taste, restaurant management. BBQ concierge Mr. Dave, and owner, Mr. George Watts, made me feel like a queen.
Every season has different sides. And a beautiful outdoor area to enjoy each season.
I fell in love with the Gouda jalapeño sausage. I rarely ever get a dessert and instantly made an exception for this cookie. I love how organized and clean all workers kept every area. It’s every little thing that led to an unforgettable experience.

I recently ate at GW’s BBQ, and it was absolutely delicious—but beyond the food, the service truly stood out. Everyone was so personable, welcoming, and attentive, which made the entire experience feel special from start to finish.
The presentation was beautiful, thoughtful, and elevated—something you don’t always see, but really appreciate. I love supporting restaurants here in the Valley that are constantly evolving, growing, and finding ways to stand out, and GW’s BBQ is doing exactly that.
Amazing food, fantastic service, and a great overall experience. Highly recommend! Oh by the way the cornbread is soooo good

I mean this sincerely when I say I wish I could give more stars. Not only was the food and service second to none, I got the opportunity to meet the owner George. He is truly the master of his craft. He took the time to tour me through the operation and to meet some of his staff. The pride he has in them and his product is equally matched in each individual boasting about the product, preparation, and presentation. This is an extraordinary experience with amazing people and the best bbq I’ve ever had! Try the chicken fried brisket, you will not be disappointed.

This was on my list of BBQ places wanting to visit for a while. I finally made the trip and time to go. On arrival noticed a line at the entrance but also noticed the line was moving and it didn’t take long to get inside. We ordered brisket, pork belly, coleslaw, potato salad, and beat salad. This came with onions, pickles, bread, and a special sauce for the pork belly. The brisket was juicy, tender, and stood on its own without bbq sauce. It had a smooth smoky flavor and was a delight in a sandwich with pickles & onions. The pork belly drizzled with the special sauce was heavenly. I could not believe the flavors I was experiencing. The sides I thought were going to be run of the mill but this also surprised me. The coleslaw was a tangy vinegar and spicy base. It included pickled mild jalapeños that made this stand out with excellent flavor. The potato salad was a mustard base with its own signature taste but darn good. The beat salad was my favorite side and was crazy good. The service here was excellent as staff went out of their way to help and made sure we were good. The decor was of a typical BBQ place that was comfortable and relaxing. Overall this place is a must if you are into BBQ! Easy 5 star review.

This is the best BBQ place I’ve ever gone to. The brisket was on point. It was smoked to perfection. We got the Texas bucket which had a little bit of everything and it was all amazing. Pork belly, ribs, turkey, brisket, and sausage. All the sides were very good as well. The corn bread is so moist and sweet. It just melts in your mouth. I’m usually disappointed with BBQ places but I’m in BBQ heaven here.

The brisket is excellent whether sliced or in a sandwich. No sauce required! I did try the sauces for this review and found all three were very good, one for every pallet. The beans maybe a bit over done with additional meats but the flavor was fabulous. Like so many others have commented, the cornbread is to die for!
This was our first visit and were personally spoke to about all their offerings on other days. We are looking forward to trying the fried chicken. I will give updates as we try additional offerings.
In conclusion I highly recommend this BBQ as the place to go in the RGV. I have been to Snows, Blacks and others and would rank GW’s right up there with the best!

Came to GW’s BBQ for the first time & to celebrate my mothers birthday. We were amazed of the deliciousness of the food. Hot fresh and ready! 🙂 Brisket was super soft, moist and flavorful. Natural waters and tea were fresh. All sides were super good. This bbq place is not like others where you need to drain your meat with sauces to get some flavor. Noah, Darrel & Alex are very attentive with great customer service.
Definitely was worth coming ahead of time before it opened. Must try and I assure you will come back again.

This is as good as it gets in Texas. I’ve eaten at an handful of excellent bbq restaurants in Texas, but GW’s had the best food AND the best service.
Absolutely amazing food and friendly service. Ribs might be the best I’ve ever had. Brisket equaled the best I’ve ever had. Turkey was to die for. Sausages were incredible. I’d also like to say that I loved the spicy bbq sauce. Next time I’ll buy a bottle.
I got there at 10:00 am Thursday morning and was first in line. I checked out the pits and talked to other people in line. At least 3 of the workers came to talk to me and seemed genuinely interested in where I came from and my opinions on Bbq.
After sitting down I also talked to employees who were helpful and interested in my opinions on the food.
I will be back for sure.
