"Reese Bros is a smoky oasis just a few blocks from San Antonio’s Alamodome. The entire operation is outdoors, with shaded picnic tables and breezy fans swirling around a heady vortex of smoke and spice. The menu leans on the classics, but it’s the daily specials—costras with confit brisket, carnitas tostadas, and burgers topped with refried beans—that make this place worth a road trip from anywhere in the state. The brisket is thick-cut but falls apart with a gentle tug, and the queso fundido sausages are packed with just enough oozy cheese to mellow out the heat, making a sweltering San Antonio afternoon feel like peak barbecue weather." - Nicolai McCrary
