Joe's Barbeque Company

I've been wanting to go here for a long time after hearing about it from a few coworkers for over a decade. Unfortunately, it's way off the beaten path for me as I do not have any reason to be on this side of town. Today, I helped my son in law move his parents back into Alvin, and the timing was just right for me to take my son in law to lunch. He had great memories of eating here as a kid and appreciated the flash back Wednesday meal. Everything was almost perfect. (1) I thought the price for 1 meat plate with 2 sides was a bit high at almost $19. I wanted the 2 meat going in, so I figured instantly as I scanned the menu that it would easily go above $25, but to my surprise, it was only $1 more. You would have to be "crazy" to not just get the 2 meat plate or more. So basically, it's just a tad under $20 for 2 meat plates. That's more in line from what I see at most good bbq places. (2) I jokingly said that I ordered an adult drink when they handed me a 2 cup "maybe" size mason jar, even though I knew it was a free refill. This part was made better when our attendant asked what we were drinking and brought us a 1 liter carefe that could easily refill my mason jars 2 times more. This definitely made me laugh afterward after my comments. Anyways, all in all, Alvin is very lucky to have this place. I didn't even mention the interior, which was an added bonus, but you can see my photos. A must-see. A little like the buckhorn saloon in San Antonio.

Today we ate there as a family, with some family from out of town that wanted some BBQ. I couldn't think of any other greater place, especially in Alvin. Joe's has been a go to place in Alvin, since I can remember. At least 22 years. Great food, as usual. Baked potatoes, with chopped beef, yum. Homeade onion rings were delicious also! Highly recommend and can't wait to go back. Thank you and God bless!

As authentic as it gets if you’re looking for no frills Texas bbq and all the fixings. Love the barn with its antique and old fashioned decor. It’s a counter order with great table service and a centralized checkout counter at the exit. Two stories offers plenty of space to crowd in. Excellent!

First time eating here and it’s an Amazing place, food was hot and fresh. Tea was amazing and the waitress I had was real friendly and knowledgeable about how long the restaurant been open for. Brisket on my barbecue potato was seasoned well and fell apart easily. Cook is doing an amazing job. Food portions are fair for what you pay for. I’ll definitely be eating here again in the future.

First time customer! GREAT Texas-flavored food! Attentive service. Awesome historic Texan atmosphere. We had the 3 meat plate and the chopped brisket sandwich with onion rings. Loved it! Our new go-to for BBQ!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Joe’s BBQ in Alvin is a must-visit! If you want a great steak or perfectly fried seafood, this place delivers every time cooked right, full of flavor, and worth the trip. Fair warning though don’t order the chicken fried steak unless you plan on coming back weekly, because it’s seriously addictive. You’ll be craving it again before you even leave the parking lot. Great food, friendly atmosphere, and definitely one of the best spots in Alvin!

Had a lot of great moments here in Alvin, but Joe’s Barbecue was easily a highlight. The history, the culture — you can feel it the minute you walk in. I had random patrons insisting I try the okra, and our waitress made sure I didn’t leave without the jalapeño bread everyone was raving about (and now I get why). That kind of atmosphere doesn’t happen by accident. It’s more than just good barbecue — it’s community. If you’ve eaten here and enjoyed it, take a second to leave a review. Places like this deserve to be celebrated. 5 stars all day !!!!!

Our family has been coming to Joe’s since it’s been here. We are grateful for the very good food and cooked properly… It’s perfect as good as it gets! Joe’s barbecue Company is where our family goes for pretty much everything and after going there again this week… From out of town to visit family, the nostalgia is now a part of our lives not just good food. The weight staff has been there 30 years some of them. We’ve lost family members over the years and it truly is like coming home… Imagine that just a restaurant and here we are
