Best ribs in the area

A bit busy during week ends at dinner. Food choices to ribs and steak and a few items for sides and dessert. Reasonably priced and turn over is fast. Ribs and steak are amazing.

Unexpected Surprise

Wow, don’t overlook this wonderful cuisine from Texas recipes. Food was great and the service was just excellent. Try the Tennessee Trio. Excellent since I am from Tennessee. JL Lunceford (I do have one complaint; I have worked in or visited 70 countries. And I...have undoubtedly had a few Martinis in everyone of the 70 countries. Not one establishment in those countries ever charged me extra for two olives to accompany my Martini. The two ladies behind the bar at Texas Joes insisted on charging me an extra 10 pesos for the two olives. I can afford the darn olives; but refused to pay for them just from a principled standpoint. This was a ridiculous way to treat a patron who regularly visits the restaurant). They finally offered them on the house, but by that time, I had finished the Martini and I was in no mood to accept charity. I was really disappointed in the bar staff at Texas Joes.More

a lot of waiting time but overall nice

We tried to come for evening diner, but the place is too crowded, with a huge waiting list, and it is not possible to book. So we came back for an afternoon dinner to have a chance to eat there. Overall nice food, though we...would have expected a bit higher quality. The ribs were great but the side dishes are not so good. Anyway, it was good stopping over.More

Nice clean friendly establishment

Went to Texas Joes because I read a review best steak in the Philippines. The place is nice and clean and the service is fast, maybe a little too fast. I ordered the cowpoke salad ( just a regular salad with lettuce tomato cucumber. The...lettuce was fresh and crispy and the dressing was good. My main course was the rib eye steak. It was cooked exactly as I requested and came with green beans and a baked potato. the waitress informed me that I was eligible for another side that was included but I didn't want anything else and didn't notice what my options were. The steak was very good not great because there was no seasonkng. I'm also used to have fresh cracked black pepper. The establishment is very clean and the aircon works great. The wait staff are friendly. Steaks are to be served on a hot plate mine was not. I usually ask for one but it had slipped my mind . Overall a good experience I would go back again if I visited Subic. Price for one was 1750 for one I only drank waterMore

Appreciate your review. Sorry about the fresh cracked pepper which we do have because I too prefer my food with cracked pepper. I am sorry about your plate temperature. It should have been served on a heated plate. I will reinforce that. Thanks again, Ed

Texas in Subic Bay

I don't live for BBQ like some of my friends but do know great ones from mediocre and this place competes with anyone anywhere. The true test iof a BBQ joint is in their "baked beans" and Texas Joe's were awesome, amongst the best anywhere....Serivings were humungous and service was super firendly and spot-on (thet onee negative view below... guy must have had a chhip on his shoulder.) And good value to boot. You're in Subic Bay, you MUST go to Texas Joe's. Otherwise you haven't been to Subic Bay.More

Average ribs

We were not allowed to sit inside because one of us did not have a mask, which I could understand but half the guests did not have theirs on because they were early. We sat outside which was fine. We all ordered drinks and they...were just ok. We then ordered our meals. No bread or anything like that to munch on. I got the half baby back ribs, Cole slaw, and corn bread. That was good in that it had real pieces of corn inside. The ribs were just Ok, but for over in the Philippines, they were good. The slaw just just ok. All in all, is was maybe a 5 out of 10.More

Awful service. Small portions

Food took a little over an hour. Lots of flies. Servers don’t care until you nag them multiple times. Food serving is ridiculous also. Yeah the ribs are okay, but the sides are good for 2 bites. Its that small. Not proportional to the amount...of ribs. Then they have the audacity to charge the same price of 700+ pesos. Stay away from this place. They used to be good but i think after the pandemic, they got lazy. Stay away. Plenty of other places in subicMore
