Butter’s BBQ

Hand over the brisket and no one gets hurt. This Q joint in little ole Sinton, Tx did us right as we stopped in for lunch on our way thru town!

I will go out of my way for BBQ especially if I know what I'm getting. This was Sunday and as I left Port Aransas I knew my favorite central Texas spot was closed .I remembered reading about a good up and coming spot in Sinton so, set course. Rolling up to the front door of this repurposed storefront,I was happy to see a short line. I had read enough good reviews to know I wanted to try it and didn't need proof in the form of an hours wait.Butcher paper taped to the wall easily conveyed your options and I loved that. Various combinations and price ranges were layed out making ordering a breeze.I opted for the Trinity giving me Sliced Brisket, Jalapeno Cheese sausage, Turkey and 3 sides. Brisket beans, Tot Casserole and Mexican Elote rounded out my side choices.Let me be clear. My determining factor for good BBQ is Brisket period. I'm old school that way. That being said I'm open minded and will try and eat everything. However,I can sit and eat only sliced brisket,no sauce or sides and be happy. Happy if,it's great .The guys quickly packed up my order to go,I grabbed the requisit Big Red and away I went. Pro Tip: Picnic in a cemetery. I love old cemeteries and have found tailgate picnics there are very pleasant.Lowering the tail gate and opening up the $95 stash of Q was like an unveiling! The turkey was on top so I snatched a bite . Fantastic. I want to say upfront,this is the best smoked turkey I've ever had. I have been eating and smoking turkey all my life so trust me,this is the Holy Grail of smoked turkey right here at Butters Sinton.Also note worthy is the jalapeno cheese sausage. I'm not a sausage guy so you have to bring it to impress me. This does with a 80/20 beef pork mix. Excellent.The ribs hold their own but , garden variety today. The brisket sliced thick with just enough resistance to the pull and a nice smokiness is a winner.Add a slice of white bread and Big Red and it's a meal. These guys are a solid 4 and I'd certainly place them in top contention for a spot on your Travel Destination Q trip .If in striking distance...Go!

We drove right by this place because it does not look like a restaurant, but rest assured, it is. The brisket and turkey were very tasty, definitely 5 star delish along with some tasty tot casserole. We were there between lunch and dinner so we had our choice of seating, which was mostly large tables. There were several people working, so we got our food right away, but customer service doesn't seem like a priority, and restrooms could use some loving. I think it was overpriced, but may be worth it if you're in the area wanting good BBQ.

Constantly good BBQ every visit, good service and posted current prices menu. Glad they moved from Mathis to Sinton grateful to have the best BBQ in the county.

I can without a doubt say Butter's is the best BBQ in south Texas. If you haven't stopped by, I highly recommend you do! As with many great things, I suggest arriving early for your best selections of meats before they sell out. The staff is always friendly and super helpful. Cozy spot with a plenty of seating. The brisket is perfectly tender, juicy and moist. And don't pass on the elote. Definitely worth drive to Sinton!

The Brisket Elote Cup is a must-try--it never disappoints! Make sure to arrive early, as they tend to sell out. This locally-owned spot is family-friendly and hands-down my favorite BBQ place around. You won't regret stopping by for a bite!

If you like barbecue, then you need to run to butters barbecue! From walking in the door, we were greeted instantly by the staff and made you feel welcomed into the establishment. They were extremely helpful and helping us build our plates and providing suggestions and even a sample while we waited which was above and beyond.The barbecue itself was fall off the bone! Extremely tender flavorful, and you didn't even need to put sauce on it. The sausage was delicious and full of flavor as well. All the sides were extremely fresh and you could taste each ingredient included, which can be really rare for sides. Honestly, you just can't go wrong with anything from butters and I can't wait to go back! They have really set the bar high for delicious barbecue!

Our 92nd 'cue stop in the Lone Star state brought us to one of the 2021 Texas Monthly 50 Best BBQ Joints that's been on our radar for a few years now. Parking is a challenge (be prepared to park on a side street), and service might most charitably be described as businesslike. At $43.89 we judged a 3 meat (brisket, turkey, jalapeno cheese sausage), 2 side (elote, brisket beans) plate to be overpriced. The turkey was excellent-- well smoked, moist and tender, and the sausage had good flavor as well. The fatty end of the brisket featured a traditional central Texas rub, but while moist and tender, the flavor of the meat ran to the roast beef side of the spectrum. The sides were a hit (top notch elote) and a miss (so so brisket beans). In sum, we would dine here again if passing through town at lunch hour, but we would not go out of our way to pay a visit.

Drove out to Butter's BBQ in Sinton Texas on a beautiful Sunday. Walked in to Butter's BBQ to the welcoming smell of brisket, ribs and yummy food. Andrew, the Pitmaster was standing at the counter welcoming us in. Upon looking at the menu, which hangs on the wall on the right hand side we ordered the Mini Trinity along with 1/2 lb of Barbacoa with flour & corn tortillas. YUMMY!!The mini Trinity has brisket, sausage, ribs along with 2 small sides, we got the Mac n Cheese with the corn ELOTE, both were delicious. And guess what free Lone Star Beer! What a great treat on a Sunday. Thank you Andrew and crew for all your hard work. I highly recommend Butter's BBQ. If you go tell them hi from me!! And enjoy the food, This place has 2 dining rooms so there is plenty of sitting. And on the Sunday we went a gentleman came in and played guitar.

Really great BBQ and friendly service but a bit high priced. Two sandwiches and one side for $35. The brisket beans were very bland. Not sure we will be back. Parking lot was small and challenging. We drove from Aransas Pass and like Stevie and Lews much better.
