Love the Brisket & Ribs from Heavy's. The smoke is not overwhelming & the portions that they serve you will have plenty of leftovers to take home. This place is perfect for lunch.

Wow! Couldn't get enough of the three meat plate! The brisket was so tender. The ribs are tasty. The sausage is well seasoned. Barbecue sauce is a good compliment, but not needed. I had the green beans and beans. They're good as well. If you're in town, try this barbecue place.

Great food and service! Stopped in on way home from a river trip. So good! My husband thought it was some of the best brisket he has had and he is very picky.

Darn good bbq!! Texas style! Brisket, sausage, turkey, ribs with all the sides. Great family owned and always a line. That is always a good sign in my book. Country, quaint, rustic interior. Seating inside. We tend to be bbq critics as we do like our bbq, so Heavy's rates really well on the list. Generous portions. We will definitely drop by their place again.

We got brisket, sausage, and chicken. The sausage and brisket were both moist and nicely smoked. The chicken was slightly dry (nicely smoked, tho), thus the 4 star review. We didn't order sides. Heavy's is our go to pit stop when headed thru Hondo.

Wowza, worth the drive. This is the Wednesday lunch special at Heavy's in Hondo. 2meat plate includes 2 sides and tea. I chose the pork ribs and brisket. Very good, loved the potato salad. $14.95. I bet there's half a pound of brisket under those ribs. -- eating lunch at Heavys Bbq.

Been trying to finish this damn review since 2017 when they made Texas Monthly's Top 50 BBQ joints. Everytime i go to Eagle Pass, I drive through here. And I stop every single time. Had pretty much everything on their menu but my faves are the frito pie, the Heavy D, their beans and their smoked chicken. The frito pie is made with burnt ends and their beans and cheese and served in the frito bag. Delicious. Add jalapenos for good measure. The Heavy D is similar but they add chunks of beef and sausage topped with beans and sauce add the extra fritos and jalapenos to ensure you able to share (or not) Their beans are exceptional: peppery and with small pieces of brisket. Their chicken is smoked to perfection with the crisp skin lightly dusted in salt and pepper. Biting into that chicken just takes you to another place. A place where you're happy and puppies remain puppies forever. Make a day out of it and go hit them up. Totally worth the money and drive.
