“ We stopped here for a late lunch - 3 pm on a Tuesday. We were heading home from an RV trip to the Valley, so we were towing our fifth-wheel. The huge parking lot made it a convenient and easy stop. We were the only customers there when we arrived. Our server greeted us promptly and took excellent care of us. We both ordered the two meat plate. I got pork spare ribs and sliced brisket with grilled asparagus and cream corn. My husband got double brisket with borracho beans and potato salad. Both meals were served with delicious fresh jalapeno cornbread, sliced pickles and onion. The table had two bottles of house-made sauce: original and sweet heat. Although the sweet heat wasn't spicy, it was so good! The brisket was lean (without being dry) and quite tasty and the ribs were tender and flavorful. The taste of the beans was perfect, but they could have been a little warmer. The grilled asparagus was nicely seasoned and cooked just right. The corn and potato salad were okay, but not anything to brag about. We will definitely return when we are in the area again. ”
“ Absolutely delicious! We had two street tacos (brisket and Hawaiian) simple cheese burger with side salad and a couple of Bray’s Brews. I wish I lived here just to come back...which we will do when we come back near Kingsville! ”
“ Great food with great prices. I had sliced brisket and pulled pork with sides green beans and baked potato. She had the smokehouse salad with two types of meat. The beer flight (3 beers) was very nice. The chips and salsa were good, but we didn't eat much of it since there was so much food. We were very hungry, and this really hit the spot. ”
“ Stopped in for lunch before heading to the Rattlesnake Roundup in Freer later in the evening. Glad I did they brew their own beer here which is AWESOME. Got the pulled pork and onion rings on the Smokehouse Salad and it was great with my flight of beers . Definitely will stop again when I’m in the area ”
“ If you say only one sentence to share my experience here, I'd say the owner really loves and know how to BBQ and make sure all the foodies enjoy here The chili is beyond my expectation in terms of the amount of the meats inside. All four of us enjoy it, including my 9 month old. The portion provided here for each dish is so generous. Very high Quality/Price Ration to dine here and great for any occasion. ”
“ Had a great meal of pulled pork, brisket chili, and chips & queso. Best jalapeno cornbread. Andrea, our server was friendly and attentive. One of the best margaritas I’ve had in a long time. Unfortunately, we were told Bray’s will be closed permanently as of December 31, 2023. :-( ”
“ Food was awesome! Appetizers where amazing, the drinks where well made, steak was cooked just like how we liked it and the dino rib was perfectly seasoned. The sides that came with the rib meal where bland but didnt detract from the main focus of the meal. Will definitely come back again. ”
“ Loved this place! We were on our way back to MO, 13 hours left, stopped here so glad we did! Our server was super helpful, we had a 100 Q’s, and super friendly! Food was great, portions were great, prices fit the plates! Would definitely recommend and stop again! Brisket nachos and two meat plate so yummy! ”
