1848 BBQ - Brownsville

Good food. 80's atmosphere when you left. If you like BBQ, it's a visit.

Decided to go with the pulled pork and Brisket 2 meat plate. Brisket was moist and delicate. Pig meat was just as good. The site was good and highly recommended overall. The prices are fair and the staff is very helpful. Come out early for sale.

We are from Missouri and can say that 1848 BBQ rivals what you would find in Kansas City or St Louis. The moist brisket was perfect, nice smoke ring and melt delicately in your mouth. The pulled pig had a nice bark and great taste, not dried. Her Koleslaw was a welcome change from what we find locally, with a spicy kick at the end, but not overwhelming. Friendly staff, clean place and fast service. It is worth stopping!

Amazing experience to try this place. We tried the ribs, chopped brisket, Jalapeno cheddar sausage, corn pudding and Coleslaw. Loved every part of our records and experience. In any case, it cannot wait to go back and visit!

I'll Start with the arrival.. doesn't look like much from the outside, but then again,, what bbq joint does? Clean. As I walked in I was greeted by one person, girl with glasses,I didn't catch her name. The aroma in there was so natural of good bbq that I was almost excited to try it.. I got in line, and was quickly a spectator off the slicing of the brisket from other customers ahead of me.. I ordered a brisket sandwich, quarter pound of pulled pork, quarter pound of turkey, beans, and broccoli salad.. they had a separate building that had seating so I went there for some peace and quiet.. the brisket was very nice. Moist, tender, and a Smooth flavor throughout, same with the pulled pork, nit overwhelming smoke, and not just flavor on the bark, the actual meat was flavorful. Beans: great aroma, hot (temperature wise) and nice smooth flavor as well.. very south Texas.. anime the turkey lacked seasoning, it made up for it with its juiciness.. Sauce: for my taste, was a little too sweet.. nothing some pepper can't fix, I added pepper, and I was having fun..Broccoli Salad : I enjoyed this. Broccoli, cranberries, light dressing, again.. not overwhelming.. Needless to say 1848 is definitely doing south Texas right. Dislikes: The only 2 thinks that I didn't like was, the owner and other girl that was there have a very stone still face. The place wasn't busy when I went, so couldn't have been a rush thing. I'm not sure, but, to some people in a happy mood to try some great food,,, that can really mess up a person's day.. last but not least, there is no dessert option.. nothing, zip, zero, nada... no pudding, pies, or even Mexican candy to purchase on the way out.. that is all.. Hope this helps...
