“Life is too short for ordinary
Review: Butter’s BBQ – Deserving of the Top 50 Title
Stepping into Butters BBQ, a true brick-and-mortar establishment, the atmosphere immediately confirmed its reputation. With plenty of indoor seating and a genuine, welcoming BBQ joint vibe, the setting is as comfortable as the staff is enthusiastic. This is clearly a location where the team is passionate about their craft, and their helpfulness in guiding us through the menu was much appreciated. Having secured a coveted spot on the “Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ” awards list, the question was: did the food live up to the hype? The answer is a resounding yes.
The Smoked Meats: A Masterclass in Fire and Smoke
The menu offers a tight selection of Texas staples, all executed with precision:
• Brisket: The star of the show delivered on nearly every front. It boasted a good tenderness and a beautifully defined smoke ring. While a few outer edges were slightly dry, the overall flavor profile was rich, deep, and satisfying, proving why the brisket is the cornerstone of any great Texas joint.
• Pork Ribs: These were exceptionally tender, falling away from the bone without being mushy. The flavor balance was perfect—rich and meaty, thankfully avoiding the overly “hammy” note that can sometimes plague smoked ribs. A solid rib glaze complemented the excellent dry rub flavor, resulting in a perfectly balanced bite.
• Jalapeño Cheese Sausage: A standout item. This double-grind sausage had a fantastic consistency and was heavily infused with a nice peppery flavor and well-integrated spices. While a minor note, a bit more cheese would have elevated it further, but the quality of the sausage itself was undeniable.
• The Texas Twinkie: A true piece of barbecue artistry. This treat—a large jalapeño stuffed with tender brisket and cream cheese, then wrapped in thick-cut bacon—was executed flawlessly. The preparation was exactly as a Texas Twinkie should be, finished with a beautiful, savory glaze on the bacon that sealed the deal.
Elevated Sides
The sides were not an afterthought, featuring one truly memorable dish:
• Mexican Elote: This was an excellent side dish and a clear elevation of the classic street corn. The careful mixture of flavors, topped with a solid amount of Cotija cheese and a generous squeeze of lime, made this a bright, tangy, and creamy complement to the heavy meats.
• Brisket Charro Beans: A comforting and hearty offering. This was a pretty standard preparation of pinto beans, mixed expertly with brisket and onion—a reliable, staple side dish that did its job well.
Final Verdict
Butter’s BBQ is very deserving of its “Texas Monthly Top 50” position. The meat quality, especially the ribs and the perfect Texas Twinkie, combined with the elevated Elote, solidifies its position as a very solid BBQ joint. We left feeling impressed not only by the food but by the genuinely passionate staff who run the operation. This is a must-visit for any serious barbecue enthusiast.

Another delicious meal courtesy of the fine crew at Butter’s! Brisket, ribs, & turkey with beans & elotes. Don’t skip the pickles! Red onions & homemade cucumber.

Friendly staff. Small parking lot. Additional charge for using a credit card. The best BBQ that we’ve had to date in Texas. I had the smoked turkey with elote and charro beans. My husband had brisket, turkey, elote, and potato salad. Delicious. The brisket melts in your mouth.

BBQ Woody here. Thnx for the best bbq yet i hv had in the Coast Bend..someone finally beat Silverado’s. I had the 3-meat (turkey, pork ribs, and jal/chz sausage) tray. If u go to this place you hv 2 try the ‘Mex Elote cream corn and their Tx beans, zesty..both..yummy. the ribs didnt need any bbq sauce. The turkey was moist and tender. The sausage was a little too soft inside for my taste, but delicious. The bbq sauce is a bit too much ketchuppy for my taste. One of my ribs the meat came rt off the bone but the other was a little tough and slightly undercooked and the meat did not come off the bone. Pork ribs shld shed the meat without having to chew it off. I will find 2 old-fashioned bottle top openers 4 u all and bring on nxt visit.

Incredible BBQ. I can see why they were rated Top 50 by Texas Monthly. Plus, free Lone Star beer on Saturdays!
We showed up on a Saturday at about 10:40am, and there was no line. Their hours are normally 11am to sold out, but they opened the doors early for us.
I got a half pound of moist brisket, regular sausage link, and the elote. The brisket had a nice bark and wasn’t overly seasoned with salt or pepper. The brisket was moist and juicy. Fell apart easily with a fork. The sausage link was tasty. It was not overly greasy which I liked. Some BBQ joints have some greasy sausages that drip or splatter when cutting or eating. However, these were not dry. Perfect smoke and season balance. The elote was delicious. I have had this dish only a handful of times in my life, so it’s difficult to compare it.
The wife ordered a sausage sandwich and potato salad which she loved.
I would definitely come back here. The staff made us feel welcomed. They answered all of my questions. Only downside was no stamp for the Texas Monthly BBQ passport.

I can’t tell you if this is the best in Texas, but I had the brisket and ribs and will tell you that you will not be disappointed. Portion size was decent, not overwhelming. The sides were good, but nothing that made me want to call my momma. Parking is not convenient, you will be lucky to find a spot and might get blocked in, so I wouldn’t suggest stopping 20 mins before that job interview. Definitely worth the stop and I will go back again.

Absolutely delicious! Wow! Get there early because they sell out fast. Free Beer Saturdays! The moist brisket is simply amazing! The corn is perfect and the ribs are spot on! The sides are all worth the price of admission! Do the trinity plate its the perfect combo.
Seats about 40 people but many customers are taking the food home. Most definitely worth the drive. Best BBQ around Corpus Area… hands down..

If there is barbecue in Heaven, it will taste like this! This place runs out kinda early, so don’t hesitate and show up late. I currently live in Kansas,. near Kansas City and there is no barbecue even close to Butter’s here in Kansas or Missouri.
The moist brisket is what we order when we’re down in Texas. Along with succulent baby back ribs, and Jalapeno Cheese sausage. Every bite of everything will make your eyes roll back in your head. It could not possibly be any better! And I’m comparing this against the amazingly great Terry Blacks, which I thought could not be beat. But Butter’s is right up there with the top of the top Texas barbecue. It’s a hole-in-the-wall location, but it’s beyond belief how good it is. Each time I’ve been here in little old Sinton, Texas, I am blown away by how good everything is. And the people behind the counter are friendly and there to help you. They have the secret rub on the brisket and the ribs. My guess is just the right amount of salt and pepper. And when we got everything to the table, and each of us were fighting over the pieces of brisket we wanted, it was falling apart on the serving fork. I kept going back in for fat! All 6 of us walked out with full belly’s and big grins! I will always come back here anytime I’m down on the Texas coast.
