Went yesterday and the kids had mac and cheese with sausage, brisket sandwich and chicken. I had the loaded potato and my husband had the ribs.  Everything was really tasty and reasonable prices.  Ended up going back tonight for some brisket to go. More...

Great food! Meats nice and juicy and tender. Beans are great and so is the Mac and cheese. Banana pudding is awesome too as well as the cobbler.

Two guys, one from Philly and the other from Cheyenne walk into Porky's hungry. Greeted and seated.  Brisket and pork ribs were tender,tasty and juicy. The C beans were wonderful, more like a soup. All Priced reasonably. If you're traveling, hungry and like real smoked BBQ, you found a great local place. Pass it on. More...

Being from NC is the best reason to be a barbeque snob!!! Thus restaurant gets five stars for 3 three reasons: 1. Excellent brisket and sides; 2. Clean and neat environment; and last but not least, the friendliest people who know how to make quality service real. You will be happy to chose to dine here!!! More...

So happy this place has new owners!!!!!! I've ordered from here countless times but I've never ate in the establishment mainly because I'm always working, my husband wanted something different from the ordinary tacos and seafood etc. ...and since we don't have a great selection of BBQ places  we have them a try together. We liked it.staff is friendly and good prices for the area. More...

My wife and I ordered two slabs of ribs to go yesterday (November 15, 2018) as one of the main food items at our dinner get together with some friends on South Padre Island.  They were fantastic!  Everyone loved them.  The friends who were locals all knew about Porky's and had nothing but great things to say about eating there.  The ribs we ordered came fall off the bone tender and juicy.  They were as good as any we have ever eaten!  The ribs came with a fantastic sauce which our guests could apply separately as desired.  The people at Porky's were great to work with.  They were helpful telling us what we would need to feed our crowd.  We ordered and paid in advance and so all we had to do was pick them up an hour or so before the party, place them in a warm oven until it was time to dig in!We will definitely be back to eat there and try other items!

Super delicious! I had the pulled pork entree w/coleslaw and charro beans. The pork was juicy and flavor able, loved the bark and their sauce is perfectly seasoned. Coleslaw was just the right amount, the cabbage was crisp and sauce was good taste. My husband had the loaded baked potato with chicken which was really big! Chicken was juicy. We both also had the charro beans, just the right amount of spice. Definitely recommend this establishment! Staff is friendly, welcoming, and attentive! More...

At at porky's today. My mind was blown away!!! Had the family dinner special. Pulled pork, sausage, ribs, brisket. For sides we had fries, onion rings, Mac n cheese, Charo beans. Everything was outstanding except the brisket. The brisket had a lot of fat in it and I mean a lot. Only about a 3rd was edible. The waiter gave the best service I've ever received since living here. The place was very clean and well kept. Only thing I think needs to get fixed is the pressure the place has. The door is really hard to open and when it does it pops your ears and the wind goes blowing through. Had been craving this place since a parade the other day when who I believe the owner was, was out front hollaring at us in the fire truck. (I was in the military truck)We can't wait to return.

Please eat here if you love your taste buds!!! Living in Texas we've all had our share of BBQ but this place was sooo delicious, I actually stayed thinking about my meal hours later. I had the brisket loaded baked potato and collard greens. My husband had pork ribs and brisket with a side of macaroni and baked beans, everything was well made and flavorful and the service was just as fantastic. This place was desperately needed in Port Isabel! More...

We were on a short 2 day trip to South Padre and read about this place in local paper. Came in for lunch the Tuesday after Labor Day. Very glad we did. Brisket and pork ribs were great. Our server was Juan and he was very friendly and attentive. Looking forward to returning and trying more of their menu. More...

Great experience, very nice people, good food!I ate there yesterday & hadn't realized there was new ownership. Very good improvements. Especially in service. Now owned by an Army vet helicopter pilot & his soon to be wife. They were kind enough to show me the pit & kitchen after our lunch. I grew up in KC, lived in NC and now TX. I can be pretty picky on BBQ. I will say everyone has their own taste. I ate a little of just about everything on the menu and here's how I would rank their items on a scale from 1 to 10. Pulled pork - 10 (would hold its own in NC & not often found down here); Sauce - 9 (right mix of tangy & sweet); Charro Beans - 6 (just not Charroy enough); Sausage - 8 (could be a little more spicy); Baked beans - 4 (nothing special); Ribs - 7 (suggest they go to baby backs vs. spare ribs, more apple cider & sauce); Brisket - 7 (this is hard growing up in KC. It needed to be a little more moist and have a better smoke ring. Overall, this place is a keeper and we needed it. Everyone will enjoy. More...

Haven't been here before and am very skeptical of 'BBQ' joints as many just aren't good.  We stopped by at 7:00 pm (they close at 8:00) and sadly (but not unexpectedly for a good BBQ joint) they were out of the ribs (another excuse to stop by again).  I just wanted protein so I ordered a pound of brisket - half moist and half blackened. I was pleased both that our waitress knew the difference and that my order came exactly as ordered.  The brisket was perfectly smoked!  The sauce was actually very good - had a bit of a molasses taste (which I normally am not a fan of) but it was really good.My wife had the loaded potato with brisket which was very tasty as well.  For the side she had Mac and cheese - not the best she's had but not bad either.We were too full for dessert but the peach cobbler and banana pudding both sounded good!The staff were very friendly and checked on us several times - but not too many.We will most definitely come back the next trip to SPI - and we'll come earlier in the day to make sure we get some of their ribs!!

Great atmosphere, loved the interior inside - vinyl disc covers in frames around tables, 50s music playing, such a cozy vibe, friendly service and, of course, good food! Menu seems simple, but everything is great. Prior to visit, had some doubts, but we've made it and no regrets! More...

Excellent BBQ.  The only thing for improvement are the fries.  They are not left in the fryer long enough, in my opinion, and come to table soggy and limp, not crisp.

I wasn't expecting much since most of the restaurants in the Port Isabel area aren't great, but I was pleasantly surprised. I got the 3 meat plate with ribs, sausage and brisket. First the service. There was only one girl working the floor and the counter and the phone. There were about 5 tables sat there and the phone was ringing quite often and she still took my to go order right away. From what I could see, she was handling all the tables and the phone and no one was unhappy. My food was ready in less than 10 minutes, I paid and went back to my hotel. The cost of the 3 meat plate with 2 sides was 20 dollars, which I did not find unreasonable. The sausage was really good. Nice little spice to it. The ribs were so tender and practically falling off the bone. The BBQ sauce which came in a separate container was good also. Tangy, a little sweet and a little spicy. The brisket had good flavor but wasn't falling apart tender so it was just okay. The charro beans were very good.The only complaint I had was that there was no sliced onions or pickles included in the to go box. Two slices of brad came with the meal, but I'm not a white bread person so that was trashed. More...
