The hospitality was very much welcoming and food is just amazing. The mac and cheese was equal both tasteful and cheesy and the green spaghetti was full of flavor. The sausage with cheese chefs kiss , Ribs fall off the bone, and the brisket is cooked to perfect just the right of tenderness and moist

Canoe imagine there’s any better Q in the RGV than Rowdy River’s!
Perfectly prepared meats with excellent flavors, wide selection of really tasty, local-flavored sides, and excellent friendly service.
Had brisket, pulled pork and sausage with green spaghetti (fideo verdé) and charro beans.
Brisket had thick bark loaded with mesquite smoke but was fork-tender. Pulled pork very moist with a nice spicy-sweet rub. Sausage was slightly spicy with a little cheese. The spaghetti has a balanced poblano sauce, not-too spicy and the beans have a nice SouTex flavor.
Generous portions were more than enough for this hungry traveler. The staff were happy to answer questions and rightfully proud of their offerings.
Nice new dining room to enjoy your meal.
Definitely worth the portage…You’ll be full to the gunnels and ready to drift with the current when you’re done.

Why BBq when they do it for you? The prizes are very reasonable and daily specials are offered. They have dine in and curbside available. Order was delivered to my car in a short time. I am a Bar-B Cuties fan, but they’ve got competition

Brisket and pulled pork were good. Mac and cheese was also good. The potato salad was not for me to much mustard for my taste.

13 of us from Leisure Valley Ranch Park showed up unannounced on October 25, 2023. The food was delicious and nobody left hungry! Nice dining room for a large crowd and they brought it all to us inside! Looking forward to our next visit!

Finally came to try this place out and didn’t really live up to the hype. Yes, the brisket is good, no sauce needed. The sides, not so much. Maybe I’ll try different sides next time

The food is just so delicious from the ribs and turkey leg coming right off the bone The green spaghetti is just perfect not to spicy nor to dry. This is a must to try it out you won’t regret it

We ordered sliced brisket plates, a Rowdy dog, and a charro cup – our sides were rice and potato salad, the cup comes with charro beans, rice, and chopped brisket and the Rowdy dog has a sausage link with chopped brisket so we tried a lot of their food options – everything was delicious. I genuinely appreciated that they brought our order to the vehicle as we had pre-ordered plus they included a nice amount of pickles that other BBQ places seem to not include anymore. All was worth the drive to Penitas, we will return to dine-in next visit.
