Blanco Bbq

My brother and I had lunch at Blanco BBQ on Saturday. We hadn’t been there in a while since he moved to the Valley years ago. We really enjoyed our food and the portion sizes too. They also have a great complimentary condiments bar with jalapeños, spicy marinaded carrots, sliced onions and salsa. Great additions to your meal. He had the brisket and sausage plate and I had the pulled pork with potato salad and coleslaw. Delicious food at a fair price. The restaurant was clean, has friendly staff and fast cleanup when patrons leave. This restaurant is child friendly with a large play area with tables for guests with children to enjoy meals outside. I will definitely be back.

I know there's a lot of good barbecue around, but I really really like the atmosphere, the flavor, the portions, the fact that they have vinegar onions. Great indoor great outdoor. Great for kids. Good family atmosphere. I really like the brisket. It was a Sunday afternoon and they were super busy, it took almost 20 minutes to get our food but outside of that I will 100% go back again and again.

Flavor: B Service: A Tea: A Solo dining: A The chopped brisket sandwich here hit the spot! It was just as good - if not better than - it looked in the pictures. I also liked the sausage and the sauce. I can’t say that the sides hit the spot in the same way. I had the Mac & cheese and the cream corn. Both were perfectly fine but nothing unique or very flavorful. I’ll be back for that brisket, though, and try some different sides.

Overall the food here is pretty good. However, I am only going to give them four stars because of their high prices. Look at the picture I attached to this review. I ordered a sliced brisket sandwich and a glass of water and it cost me $10.81. That's ridiculous! If they're going to charge this much I mean come on, that should include a side and a drink along with the sandwich!! And to top it off, they ask you when you order up front if you want to add a tip. Really, you order at the counter then they call your number and you have to go back up and get your food. It's not table service people. Why would anyone want to tip for that? Here's a tip. The management should take some of the money from each order, since they charge so much, and give it back to the workers. Just sayin.....

We held an event here and was super impressed. The catering manager Marina was super friendly and help. She made it easy to book the event and even showed me around before we booked to make sure it was going to work for us! They have an area to set up, TV to hook up to for presentations and a mic with sound system. Great layout and place to host your next event.

We had brisket sandwiches. The sauce is great. I liked the buns. Overall it was good but not great as in I’ll be craving it and it was the best I’ve ever eaten. The onion rings are made in-house and are good. Overall, I’m glad we visited. They had live music and have a big outdoor play area and deck for the kids.

Service was very friendly, food was good. We ordered the 1/2 BBQ chicken with brisket, onion rings, and fries okra. Also the chicken fried steak with green beans and mac n cheese. The chicken fried steak was a little tough and the mac n cheese was a bit runny for our taste. Although the BBQ chicken was good. $$$
