Sporting US like service and cleanliness with a massive menu and very pretty set up, I would give this place 5 stars. The ribs arent as back home, but close enough and absolutely great for Philippines.
Very much appreciated are all the sauces.

The restaurant felt like being transported in Texas. The serving was big and delicious. The beef brisket did not disappoint. It was soft and tender and had a really good mouth feel.
The service was good. The staff was very attentive and patient with questions you might have about their food
The ambiance was nice. It was a totally different world in there. It felt weird when we stepped out of the restaurant and the shore was there.

I have been a fan of ribs for as long as I can remember, and I have to say, that their food are just okay to good. We had a platter, and I feel like, for the price, the portions were not good at all. I guess, because their overhead is high, they feel like they need to maintain their food cost at a certain extent. It was understandable. For that size of a restaurant, the food didn't feel "fastfood" like at all.

However, I do have to say that I admire their service. The staff who served us was very knowledgeable about the menu and was very attentive to us. Very professional and a keeper. Where do you find servers like that? Awesome place.

I would recommend this simply because I trust their quality of service. No complaints at all. Would love to tour their kitchen in the future!

Thank you Alfonso for your review. Normally we get very good comments on our ribs and I wish you had told your server that they weren't up to standard as we would gladly have replace them. Also thank you for your comments on the servers. Finding the servers is not easy but thanks to Gilbert's training we have a very professional team who try very hard to provide the best service in Subic. Hope to see you back and ask for me so I can ensure that you get the ribs you were looking for. Ed

Ive eaten here now 3-4 times over several years. It’s ALWAYS been great. Good food, excellent prices, friendly little cowgirl waitresses!

Try the ribs, they are some of the best this ole Southern boy has eaten. Oh yeah, the cornbread is a must also!

Before heading back to Manila, my family grabbed the opportunity to try Texas Joe's. Tripadvisor did not fail us! Our experience was consistent to the high ratings! We tried whole slab baby back ribs, ultimate bubba burger, rib eye and onion brick. All are superb! The ribs and steaks go with green beans, that are cooked perfectly! And I must add, reasonably priced too!

The ambiance inside the restaurant brought us the Texas cowboy feel, and the waitresses dressed as cowgirls were attentive too. We also noticed the spacious area allocated for waiting customers, and we're grateful we did not experience a long queue despite us arriving at lunch time on a Saturday. We will definitely go back on our next trip to Subic.
