After eating at numerous bbq places throughout the valley and Blacks BBQ in New Braunfels, we decided to try Aces BBQ. 1st, the service was fantastic! I ordered the 4 rib and moist brisket plate, and my wife ordered the moist brisket and chicken plate. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our plates. The ribs had a smokey flavor and were very moist. They paired extremely well with the sweet BBQ sauce. The brisket was actually the most moist brisket I've ever had, and I've eaten alot of brisket. My only recommendation was, it needed just a little spice, but also paired extremely well with the bbq sauce. The rice and beans sides were also extremely good. Overall, we loved it here, and they have gained a repeat customer. Update. Returned again. Unfortunately, this time, the food was bland. We had pulled pork and brisket. Both were uninspiring. Both lacked any resembles of bbq. Both lacked slices, salt, pepper, etc. They just tasted like they were made without adding anything to the meats. Service was once again fantastic, but sadly, this will be our last time here.

The potato salad was bland. The peach cobbler was like bread pudding. The brisket and pulled pork was amazing. The cheesecake was enormous and delicious.

This place was amazing! I was skeptical about the bbq enchiladas, but they proved me wrong. Truly the new main place I will go to get any comfort food I need.

We drove across town to Ace's BBQ on Nolana for lunch today. The food was amazing and served in huge portions. My husband got The Ace brisket sandwich with sausage with a side of creamy Mac&cheese, I had a plate of their brisket enchiladas which included 3 enchiladas stuffed with brisket rice beans and crackers & our daughter wanted refried bean tacos on corn tortillas which isn't something on their menu but they were able to make for her. Our picky eater declared this is her new favorite restaurant after having 4 bean tacos, 1 of my stuffed enchiladas & some of my rice and beans! We all left full, happy & even left with leftovers for later (1/2 the ace sandwich). Shooter was our server and delivered the best ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ service starting with getting us our drinks quickly after immediately greeting us, (he made the best peach tea) taking our order and asking the kitchen staff about our picky eaters request for bean tacos & making sure to clear away trays and brought refills over right away. Shooter also asked our little one if she would like more tacos after her 1st serving & made sure we were all enjoying our meals. My husband and I agree with her as far as Ace's being our new favorite restaurant. Our bill for 3 with huge meal portions and drinks/refills was under $45 and worth it! Don't forget to tip your servers for going above and beyond! Thank you for a great dining experience shooter! We'll be back 😁
