Reservations + Catering

Nueces Brewing Co. offers catering and large orders for all of your events! Whether it be a graduation party, office gathering, or anything in between, let us provide the BBQ that will WOW your guests. Our meats are smoked daily on our famous pit, Fat Albert. The briskets cook for 16 hours and we use a mixture of post oak and mesquite. It’s taken about 30 years to perfect the combination and when you taste it, you’ll understand.

You can choose to party in our taproom, pickup your order to-go, or take advantage of our full-service catering package. Not sure how much food to order? Contact us and we’ll walk you through it.

We’re literally sitting in front of a computer waiting for your inquiry. (Okay, maybe not literally).

We offer table reservations for groups of 30 or less free of charge, with the exception of certain dates. These reservations are limited. Please keep in mind that if you don’t pre-order we cannot guarantee we won’t run out of anything. Just like any good BBQ joint, when it’s gone, it’s gone. If you do pre-order we guarantee we’ll have your food.
