BBQ Station is what's up! I often forget how good it is until we go. I was just there this past Saturday and I'm still thinking about the jalapeno mac and cheese. The BBQ is great as well, I'm particularly fond of their brisket and sausage.

No one ever mentions BBQ Station- and that’s fine because it’s phenomenal, been here for decades and that means the lines will still be short when I arrive.

BBQ Station’s moist brisket can only be described as melt-in-your-mouth beef. It’s so good. Pair it with jalapeño macncheese and some pork ribs. Forget the sauce, not needed here.

I was about to say the same. 2M is the go to, treat story behind the go BBQ in San Antonio. Pinkerton's is great if you are in the downtown area, they also do special events. Last year they did a bunch of brisket stuffed roasted pigs for memorial day for free, brought in live music. When a place does stuff like that for its community, I can't but help support them when I can.

I was talking to someone the other day who had made a trip to San Antonio last year. I asked if they got some ‘q’, and they’re response was: “I ate at Bill Millers.”

All I could do was laugh. You poor, poor bastard.

Really good BBQ!

This is the correct answer. First 2 are the best offerings. The earlier you go for lunch, the better chance the brisket wont be sold out

In town, these are my picks with 2M being tops

I have to strongly disagree on Smoke Shack. God everything is so sugary, even the fries. I got some ribs and they were so caked overly sweet sauce it tasted like they cooked them in melted Jolly Ranchers.

2M the best

I enjoyed the brisket at 2M but my SO found it to be too rich and fatty.

Their BBQ sauce is just ok. Not my preferred style. I also wish they had potato salad lol.

I was super disappointed when I went there. It has a nice vibe, maybe I went on a off day for them. I felt I wasted my money.

Second this.

What I was going to say as well!

Agree on 2M. Burnt Bean if you're willing to go to Seguin.

Pinkertons always gets a ton of downvotes on bbq posts because it’s “touristy” and overrated, but it’s actually really good food. And the location can’t be beat.

South BBQ is slept on it’s so good

BBQ life by Chris is a very good choice.

I lived in SA for a year now and never tried this place. Does it usually have a line on a Saturday morning? If so, what’s the best time to arrive?

I think I’m gonna try Reese brothers, 2M will be closed for the weekend

Burnt Bean 100% made a trip out there recently and got damn some of the best bbq I have ever had.

2M for sure, but get there early because they run out

Pinkerton’s is in San Antonio?

this. I visited last week for the first time

chicharon con Chile 👌👌

Seconding South. I believe its the same BBQ that Curry Boys uses in their dishes.

South is the best IMO. I always order online so I have no issue with waiting in line.

2M had the best BBQ imo but their sides are… bare minimum

Can confirm. 2M is the best in San Antonio city limits.

If you travel outside town to New Braunfels (30ish min drive) there’s some other great options. My favorite is Black’s BBQ.

I just discovered curry boys yesterday. They changed my mind on curry. It's amazing! Sweet and spicy and perfect.

It’s pretty good for a pit restaurant. Not necessarily as good as I could make at home, and not as good as Terry Blacks, but definitely worth a trip!!

beat me to the bush cause I was bouta say Red Dead lol

😂🤣😂🤣

4:13 coffee truck on potranco, Cajun coffee shack on potranco, and there's a new coffee truck on 90 E and Montgomery Rd but idk the name of it and haven't tried it yet.

Coffee + Culture is pricey but good.

Best coffee and most consistent is Golds hands down

This but I like both, this whole list is eh. The suggestions here are definitely not all reliable lol. Not that some of these places are horrible but there’s so many better options. But honestly, the thing is, if you can’t find new/good places to eat in San Antonio, you may need to check your pulse. There are so many good restaurants, even a top 10 of each type would barely scratch the surface. Google reviews is my go to anyway. If it can’t earn at least 4 stars, I ain’t goin. Most good places are near 5 and there are many.

Simis on fredericksburg is awesome indian food! They have a lunch buffet and great lunch menu. Close midday after lunch to prep for dinner so check the hours

Spice, Fredericksburg and 410

Was thinking this list was missing this as well
