Corkscrew BBQ is really delicious and the flavor was amazing. The atmosphere was great, and I loved having the option to sit either inside or outside. I would have to say the service was just okay — no one greeted us when we came in, and the cashier didn’t welcome us; he just looked at us and waited for us to order. Other than that, the place has a nice family atmosphere and is overall really awesome.

Corkscrew BBQ is a must-visit for authentic Texas barbecue. The picnic table–style setup sets the perfect laid-back vibe, while the menu delivers on every level — tender, juicy meats, classic sides, and refreshing drinks. We devoured pulled pork, smoked garlic link sausage, brisket, tacos, and mac & cheese — everything was absolutely mouthwatering. The tacos were loaded and soul-satisfying, and the service was relaxed and friendly. Corkscrew is a top pick for your next BBQ feast.

So the food was delicious. I got some brisket, their staple, it was some of the best I've had and I go driving for BBQ 😀. The garlic sausage was also tasty. The pulled pork was nice and smokey and not dry like some places I've been. The Tacos 🌮 were also surprisingly tasty. My wife loved them. Didn't get to the turkey or ribs; I'll have to check those at supper tonight. The peach cobbler was great. It was as good as my grandma's, and she is known for her cobbler, creamy cobbler, and crunchy crust with perfect sugar and cinnamon, maybe a hint of nutmeg, but I'm not positive. Warning: The line is long, so we went there at 11, and it was 12:15 before we got our food. I'm not sure if they run out daily, but the parking was still full when we left. There is overflow parking about a block away, which was $10. We came in a compact car and found a space near the entrance. If I owned the place, I'd put out some 4x4 timbers to mark the spots. It's a gravel lot and everyone parked more than a door width away. I could have parked in several of the spaces between cars but would not have been able to get out. 🤣. I'll be going back again to try some of the other items.

Love the smoked turkey. I have ordered this before at different places. But your restaurant has the best smoked turkey I ever had. It was so moist and tender. I wish I lived here. I am from the Chicago, area visiting family. But I will definitely be back for more. The beans are also amazing.

This is the absolute best BBQ ever. Three of us dined here and here's what we tried, and all of it was the best: BBQ sandwich, pulled pork, loaded baked potato, potato salad, baked beans, side salad, and peach cobbler. (even the soda was different and delicious!) Everyone was pleasant and truly hoping our experience was superb. Anytime I'm visiting Texas I will be eating Corkscrew BBQ. You'll love it. The atmosphere was down home welcome. Catherine Roberts

The Brisket is the crown jewel: slow-smoked for 14 hours, it’s a glistening slab of tender, marbled beef. The bark is dark and crusty, seasoned with just salt, pepper, and smoke, while the inside is so juicy and tender that it pulls apart with the touch of a fork. Each bite melts in your mouth, rich with that deep, smoky flavor that only comes from hours of love and low heat. Next to it, ribs—pork or beef, Both are thick, and sticky—dripping with a love that’s been kissed by smoke and heat. The meat pulls clean from the bone, leaving a pink smoke ring that proves its pedigree. There’s a hint of flavor in the rub, more than enough to keep you coming back for another bite. And if you need a break from the that, there’s always a cold glass of sweet tea or a local beer to wash it all down. This isn’t just food—it’s an experience. The kind that lingers on your tongue and in your memory long after the last bite. Great choice when in the area.

Really good! Totally worth going. I got there pretty late so there wasn’t much left, but I had this sandwich that was really well made and super tasty. The coleslaw is also really good. It’s totally worth it to go and eat at a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Holy crap…. Some of the best classic Texas BBQ there is. The marbled brisket is AMAZING. So juicy and flavorful. The pork ribs are also super juicy and delicious. For sides…. The potato salad and baked beans are both hitters 🔥

Was surprised to see a Michelin rated BBQ place, but well worth the hype. Brisket was perfect. The turkey was moist and the ribs were good. Excellent sides and cobbler. Be prepared to wait. This is a well known establishment and people drive from miles around to eat here.

First time here. Ordered 1/4 pound of brisket but got only half that. Still, it was really good and tender. Some of the most moist meat I've ever had. Also ordered a bowl that was really good. My family loved their pulled pork sandwiches. I would try again and get here earlier to order the brisket again. Nice vibe and good people.

I hate to say it, but I think I can make a better plate. The brisket was decent, but the pork ribs were stale. And it's not in comparison to Truth BBQ at Brenham, which was leagues better, but I can make better ribs, if slow cooked with spices for hours then broiled. I did like the apple cobbler. Never had cobbler before, but they're sweet with a layered crunch. I arrived about an hour early to avoid the parking situation I had months ago. It was my first time, but I won't be recommending the ribs. I will however strongly recommend Truth BBQ Brisket and their amazing side dishes like brussel sprouts and corn pudding.

This was our first time trying Corkscrew! We waited roughly 45 min to get our food and go. We also got there as soon as they opened too. We definitely had some mixed reviews on the food! The good: - Coleslaw was delicious! Had a nice creamy texture with an added spicy kick to it! - Baked beans were also very good, they had a nice smoky taste to them and were thick. - Not really a flavor critique, but I enjoyed how many extras they gave you (pickles, jalapeños, bread, onions). The not so good: - Brisket was very juicy, but flavor was incredibly lacking. - Mac and cheese was super plain, I wouldn’t even get it again. - Ribs were just meh, wasn’t anything special about them and were a bit dry. Cheddar Sausage was also pretty basic and nothing memorable. We spent 100 + tax for everything shown in the photos! I wouldn’t return again, as the food is far from impressive but it was nice to try just once.

I was visiting from out of town to try this Michelin star barbecue restaurant and it really did live up to my expectations! I got the ribs, brisket, and mac n cheese. The ribs were well seasoned, and had a little kick to them from the chili flakes. I will say, they could have been a little more tender! On the other hand, the brisket was melt in your mouth soft and deliciously smoky. The barbecue sauce was nice but nothing special. The Mac n cheese was just okay. I prefer a Mac n cheese that has a sharper cheddar, but this tasted a bit flat and more so like an Alfredo Mac. If that’s your vibe, you’d enjoy this one! The biggest issue I had with this place is the LONG, LONG line. We waited for almost two hours to just put our order in. After that, there’s a wait to even get your food. I understand that it’s a popular spot, but they definitely need to update the way they serve customers! For such a long wait, I think you can find a better barbecue spot in Texas.

Great quality food, Great services overall. However, it took way too long. Putting in order took like 5minutes per order. That just puts the whole waiting process even longer. They have a Michellin star. I don't think the food is all that hype but worth going to! Not a place I would go back to. However, worth visiting once.

The process for lining up before opening is confusing (30 numbers in a binder and then everyone else waits) and no one is available to explain this / the process is barely explained on one inconspicuous piece of paper. We waited about 90 minutes before ordering. After ordering, they call your name but it's difficult to hear inside. A numbering system would be easier. Probably waited 15 mins for our name to be called. The lean brisket was dry. The moist brisket was delicious. The beef rib (only on Saturdays) had very little meat and was mostly fat. The sides were average. The cobbler was delicious and was the best item.

Over rated. Parking is a nightmare and food is average. Lines too long and have to do early or it's sold out.

Corkscrew BBQ has a great barbecue vibe with nice indoor and outdoor seating, and it holds a Michelin Star rating. However, on this visit, the experience was a bit of a mixed bag, and we found ourselves preferring some of the other spots we'd been to today. The brisket was a little disappointing. It was on the dry and crumbly side, and a bit salty for our taste. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't live up to the high expectations. The real highlight of the meal was the pulled pork. It was evident that it had been cooked low and slow, resulting in a very tender, juicy, and flavorful product. This was easily the best meat we tried and a strong point for the restaurant. The jalapeño and cheddar sausage was pretty standard. It had a typical consistency, but it lacked the coarser, double-ground texture you find in the best homemade sausages, which I personally prefer. We ended up skipping the sides, as nothing on the menu seemed particularly unique or special to complement the barbecue. While we appreciated the venue and the outstanding pulled pork, the brisket and sausage didn't quite hit the mark for us, especially given the restaurant's reputation. Despite its Michelin Star, we enjoyed the overall experience at other barbecue spots more. The pulled pork is definitely worth a try, but the other offerings didn't quite live up to the hype. We visited near the end of the day 3:15pm and they close at 4:00pm. I did not expect a Michelin Star restaurant to be mopping the floor with cleaning agent before close. Not sure I would recommend them without caution.

They use ai slop for their food photos. You can tell the ribs are fake because pigs don't have cross hatch rib bones.
