"Great food and service. First time trying out the BBQ from this place and I've gotta admit... we're hooked! The brisket was tender, the sausage juicy, and the baked potato salad was on point. The bread used for the sandwiches is house made so you gotta know it's good. As far as the cobbler... yummy yummy yummy! The cobbler too is house made so it was delicious! Very friendly staff! We will DEFINITELY be eating here every time we visit Corpus!"

Hoegemeyer's BBQ Barn is one of the city's top joints, offering up customer favorites like brisket, sausage, and peach cobbler, all in a barn setting.
