Blanco BBQ

Blanco BBQ is one of my top two go-to spots for Texas BBQ. I can't recommend their Chopped BBQ Baked Potato enough--it's my absolute favorite, especially when paired with a perfectly brewed sweet tea. So delicious!The ambiance is fantastic, with live music on most days, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming.

This visit was quite disappointing considering how nice the restaurant looks from inside and out. Blanco is almost like a Rudy's BBQ but without the gas station. I got their special of the day which was a chopped meat plate which came with 2 sides and a drink for $14. I made the mistake of assuming that meant beef but it's actually a conglomerate of their left over meats which includes more than beef. Ugh! The macaroni and cheese side was lukewarm flavorless soup pasta with different types of pasta shapes. Their green beans are also a cold soup of flavorless veggies. The only remotely hot item was the chopped meats. My husband ordered the two meat slices plate with brisket and sausage with a side of cream corn and mashed potatoes. Those sides were better in flavor. I had high expectations from this bbq spot but it was definitely a big let down. The best thing here is that they have a whole bar of bbq fixings that includes pickles, onions, pico, lemons and more.

As I type this review, the best thing about Blanco BBQ is the kids playground in the back. There are rules, and you need to keep an eye on your kids, yet there's plenty of tables outside to eat. As for the food, meh. It's been a while since I've been to Blanco BBQ, and I thought I remembered it tasting better. While there was plenty on the plate, it was okay. It's not the type of BBQ that you'll run and tell others about, yet we were hungry, and it mostly did the job. I did think the green beans were on the peppery side, the cream corn was quite runny as was the BBQ sauce. I did like the dill marinated onions, yet there was little else to like or love. There are other places I would consider though before coming back here.While the food service was pretty quick, the food wasn't piping hot. It was more like "just came off the heated lights" warm. They are great about calling out the orders and letting you know if you're going to need to carry a large number of trays. Will I come back? Maybe if a friend asked me, yet not because I recommended it.

Blanco BBQ is one of my favorite local barbecue places to eat! I love the brisket and ribs plates. All of the sides I've had are delicious, but I often get Mac and cheese, green beans, or mashed potatoes. The prices are very reasonable for barbecue as well!They are quick to get your food done and call your number! We never have to wait long. And they are quick to pick up the tables and clear if you want. I love it!I love that there's a playground outside and there is ample seating indoor and out! Such a fun place for families or a fun date night. Sometimes they have live musicians play. So nice!I love Blanco BBQ! I highly recommend checking it out and enjoying a fun place with yummy food!!

Food was average bbq that we have so much of in Texas I had turkey plate with green beans and fries Ample side wagon of pickles onions etc Not a long wait Green beans were really good Turkey was only average to fair Fries were big think wedges with peel Very good Lots of seating Ambiance was average bbq joint I'd have to return and try more to form a real opinion Bathrooms were ok but not clean enough for me Huge party room looked nice

PLEASE NOTE: If I had the option of giving unlimited infinity stars, I would!! I literally have ZERO complaints. This is my Granddaughter's favorite place to eat (play). We decided we would have her birthday party here. She was turning 4. At first we opted for the party room inside. That was booked at the time we needed so we decided on the back patio by the play area. I called and spoke to Brittney in the catering department. She was very professional over the phone and via email. She assured us there would be heaters on outside. I placed my order, paid for the food, ordered the cake (not from BBBQ) and sent the invites. The closer it got to the event my other twin granddaughters, 8 mos. caught colds the week leading up to the party and my daughter suggested they just stay home, but this was not an option as they were starting to feel better, plus my daughter would miss her nieces party and I couldn't have that. I called Brittney the day before the party and asked if there was any way we could just have some tables inside the restaurant due to the weather. She didn't even hesitate. She said she would call the store and see if they would be able to accommodate. I told her I would be happy with 2-3 tables as they were larger tables, even tho I knew it may not be enough space we would manage, as I wasn't trying to be difficult and I know they don't normally do parties inside the dining area. Of course the manager said yes and we were all set. Fast forward to Friday the 21st, evening of the party. It was to start at 7pm but I decided to arrive 30 minutes early and to my relief, they had us a small cake table, and 5 large tables!!!! All my stress just melted away as I walked in and saw that... not only did we have plenty of space for the food and presents, but everyone was able to sit and hang out comfortably. And of course you always have those few stragglers that don't RSVP and we ended up with about 10 extra guests, so it worked out perfectly. The gentleman who usually comes and sings al the George Strait songs was there so that was a plus. The food came out exactly on time and we didn't have to lift a finger... Josh made sure he set everything up for us. The food was delicious and freshly made. They even made sure we had all of the sides. It's was just amazing! They really outdid themselves on the service end. The cashier was so sweet and so friendly when we went to get extras like the buckets of beer and drinks, water, etc. my granddaughter had an amazing time and I couldn't have been more thrilled. They never rushed us and everyone was able to have a wonderful timI will definitely be booking more parties here for sure.

It's pretty decent! We've driven by a lot and finally decided to go here versus our usual BBQ spot. I wasn't disappointed but I also wasn't thrilled. They just didn't have what I was looking for but every BBQ place is so different. Meats were good, not any sides I really like other than cole slaw which is a personal problem, not theirs.Overall it was good but I couldn't say I'd be dying to go back. It's a super cute spot though. Tons of space both indoor and outdoor! Staff are super friendly and they definitely understand great service. Again, just a preference in offerings that didn't hit the mark for me.

This place is great! Casual dining with a lot of seating, indoor and outdoor but outdoors was too hot to sit. Order at the front and they bring the food to you. Beer, wine, seltzers, soda in large drink containers and self serve BBQ fixings. Good selection of drinks. Beer was also available in buckets but we didn't need 6. I think this was $20 vs single was $4.25. Sides were great, got the creamed corn, fried okra, coleslaw and potato salad! Will stop by again.

Overall pretty good. I got the 1/2 chicken which was very tender and had good smoke, the borracho beans which were very different from what I'm used to. It was definitely thicker and more like a chili. It had very good depth of flavor and big chunks of meat in it which was really nice Broccoli was whatever...it's just broccoli but it needed some seasoning.

1.Worst online service epic horrible experience- two different web sites2. Call in to pick up order oops there is a problem we will call you back - no call yet3. Drove thru today to order- was told they don't accept family orders thru the drive thru lane Won't go back
