Really great BBQ place. Brisket was the best I’ve had in Brownsville. Plus an excellent selection of beer and cider and very friendly staff. Highly recommend!

It will satisfy your cravings for Bbq.Brisket is Fair,The pork is alright The sausage is really good Cole slaw is really good and beans too.Also most Bbq Joints/Places have their own signature Home made teas or lemonade while they just sell canned beverages.

Everything about this location is just okay, the moist brisket was sort of dry. The pulled pork sauce now that was a 10/10, definitely brought the food up a bunch.

The bbq from 1848 was hands down the best in Brownsville. The brisket was very moist and had the perfect balance of fat and meat on each slice.The charro beans were delicious and had pieces of brisket in it. The flavor was like something my mom makes! The corn pudding has a great flavor and wasn’t too sweet. The ribs were very moist and had great flavor, but did not just fall apart, which was a plus. You can tell that the potato salad is made in house which is always better than store bought. The banana pudding also had a great flavor. Overall, a solid place that continues to improve.
Let me start by saying I wish I had pictures of the food my husband and I got but we literally ate everything so I'm gonna and got more food to go lol The speed of service was literally amazing the customer service was outstanding the girl behind the counter was very nice and helpful we tried a little bit of everything and all I can say is that hands down 1948 is the BEST BBQ place in Brownsville TX we will most definitely be coming back very soon with our family and friends ??

I have only tasted the moist brisket by the pound, and it keeps me coming back. It's like smoky barbacoa. This time, I got the $16 plate (new menu). I was sad to only get 2 medium slices, and the side portions were big, I prefer more meat, so I will go back to ordering by the pound.

Quality way down since tony Martinez took over, bring back original pit
No wonder this place don't have much people in the evening and they close late, they stop serving combo plates at 5pm. They refused to sell individual portions at 1/4 lbs to make it a combo at least that would have made this customer happy.

To each their own. 4.4 rating doesn't even come close. The side items were tastier than the meat entrees. Two type of sauces; pickles and onions only as condiments... Even Buc-ees is better.Parking: Great parking area

Pulled up to the spot hard. The reviews were pretty high for this location so I just had to try it .Looking over the menu we had many options and the prices were moderate but I figure it should be solid .Between the price and quality I was a bit disappointed due to super small portions .The food was OK at best between the ribs and pork . I think at a better price point for the cost it would be much better especially for the general pricing in the region as a whole .
