B&B Smokehouse

I ordered to go and this was the first time I’ve eaten from this place. I LOVED it. Excellent food. The potato salad was extremely delicious, moist brisket wasn’t greasy as I thought it would be , barbque sauce was very tasty and the portions were just right for the price. Highly recommend this place over so many other places I have tried.

Went to B&B Smokehouse for dinner and saw they had a Thanksgiving special. Decided to try it as was not disappointed. This meal tasted just like a home cooked Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey was moist and delicious, mashed potatoes were creamy, and the stuffing was delicious. If you need a quick Thanksgiving meal fix, you can’t go wrong with B&B’s special.

Absolutely the best bbq I had while visiting San Antonio! The staff was super friendly and very helpful. I got the homemade lemonade, brisket, creamed corn, and green beans, and they were fantastic!! My sister got the baked potato which was just as wonderful! Oh, I got a chocolate chip cookie, and guess what? It was fantastic as well! This family owned business is obviously doing something right since they've been in business for over 41 years. Also, the owners father was a pilot during WW2, and they have a wall dedicated to him, so before you pay, they always ask if you're military so they can give you a discount. Try this place out and I promise you won't regret it!

Food was delicious !!!!! I came specifically for the brisket. I ordered a ranch hand plate which was a 2 choice of meat but I chose 2 choices of brisket. Serving didnt seem much BUT it actually made me full. Restroom was clean and so was the dining area. Employees were friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Well, I am impressed by the amount of people coming in but what I got was the brisket (severely underseasoned), and bbq chicken (pretty average). Baked beans were alright, and coleslaw was too "raw", not much flavor integration with the mayo/salt. The lady at the counter was sweet and attentive

First time I have been in this barbecue restaurant and I’ll have to say it serves the MOST delicious brisket, sausage, chicken, and ribs! The portions are generous and reasonably priced. The service? FAST! You better get there early before they open because they have people waiting in line to get in even before the doors fly open! A big shout out to the managers, Luis - Bree - Catherine! Their leadership skills are quite evident in their staff who are ever so accommodating to their patrons!

I really WANT to write an upbeat, positive review of this place. We walked in, it was lively, clean, and spirits were high. The woman who took our order was nothing less than phenomenal. SO....That's the good... Now let's talk about what really matters..the food.. We went around 5:30 -6:00, so dinner hour. I got the 2 meat plate (18.69) chose brisket (extra fatty) and sausage. My sides were cream corn and green beans. The ONLY thing hot on my plate was the green beans. Everything else was LUKEWARM at BEST. Look my SINGULAR requirement when I go to a "smokehouse" or BBQ joint is that MY FOOD IS HOT. I don't need to see them pull it off a spit, but COME ON. The sausage was tender (win) but the main flavor was SALT. No taste of smoke, pepper or even garlic. Just salt. The Brisket melted in my mouth (win) and hat it been hot, would have had me twitterpated. The creamed corn, was also, lukewarm, which made the texture off. It had a good flavor, that I can tell SMACKS when hot, but alas, that was apparently to much to ask. The green beans were hot...and had me hot and bothered, loved them, and almost ordered more to go. As far as my wife's Brisket Baked Potato (15.49). It was huge, it was hot, but it was mediocre. She wasn't impressed because her brisket was also Lukewarm. That was the bad..... Now for the UGLY......the bbq sauce...it tasted like liquid tomatoes sauce sugar and vinegar. No depth, no thickness, no smoke....no nothing else... we both went as far as wiping it off the meat it touched.

B&B Smokehouse is easily the best BBQ in town! Everything was incredibly tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Even though the place was packed, they were still able to accommodate our large party without any issues and the line moved extremely fast. The sides were just as impressive as the meats, fresh, delicious, and the perfect complement to the meal. The service was excellent, and the overall environment was exceptional. I was so caught up enjoying everything that I completely forgot to take pictures! The family meals were more than enough to feed our party of 10, and everyone left full and happy. Highly recommend!

Sweet tea 10/10 Pork ribs were juicy, flavorful and a great size. The full rack came with 12 ribs. My brisket was lean and had a good salty dry rub. Green & Coleslaw beans were 7/10 Great southern service and large seating area for bigger groups.

Solid ribs for dinner. Good pull, great flavor. Sides are always spot on. Is counter service, which is the only downside to me. Always clean, but the dining room can get loud. Staff is always friendly and helpful. One of my go to's for good, cost-friendly BBQ when I'm on that side of town.

I had the taste of BBQ. Pork to be exact. A coworker frequents this place and when I realized it was 30 min away in SA traffic, I figured I'd likely not go anytime soon. But on this day, I really wanted a pork bbq sandwich with slaw on top and some fries. I decided to look the menu up and saw they had a pork po boy, so I decided to finally take the ride. Well, I arrived to disappointment because the pork was blacked out on the drive thru menu. Dang! I was not a happy camper but I decided since I came all this way...in my Denzel voice... I'ma leave here with somethin'. I decided on a 2 meat plate (ribs and white meat chicken quarter) with potato salad and cream corn. It didn't take very long for my order so customer service is a big plus here. The person at the window/voice box was helpful and polite. I grabbed my plate and prepared for my trek back to the North - but not before I punched off that rib. Listen! If you don't eat anything else there, get the ribs. They are tender and pull from the bone so easily. Surprisingly, the white meat chicken was juicy and tender as well (not so much the second trip though). The potato salad was good but I like to see and taste egg in my potato salad. If it had egg in it, it was either incredibly fine or barely there. The corn was really good. The lemonade tastes homemade and it was really good. Overall it's been a pleasant experience each time I've gone (3 times now). The only thing I wish was different - I really wanted that pork po boy AND it would be nice if a good Mac & cheese was on the menu. I

Was in San Antonio on business, my colleagues and I were looking for some good Texas BBQ. B&B was highly recommended by other colleagues that live in the area. Once we arrived and walked up to the counter it was like you felt at home. The lady behind the counter was very friendly and was able to put together entrées for us that wasn't really on the menu. The hometown vibe was nice especially when you're out of town traveling. The brisket and ribs were excellent, really good BBQ! B&B keep up the good work!

Genuinely the WORST SERVICE I've ever had. They talked to me like if I killed their dog/baby . The nasty ass looks on top of it... I've never been treated so terribly in my life. Food was okay.

Wowowow it took us way too long to try this place out & B&Bs did not disappoint!! Food is 10/10 Service: we waited in line for about 5 minutes Brisket is super tender, Turkey is really good as well! Can't wait to be back

What a confusing place. When we got here, there was people waiting outside. Man we thought it was going to be great if there was people waiting to eat inside.!WRONG. Like wrong wrong. Perplexing that anyone would wait for doors to open here. Why am I so harsh? The brisket was bad. Like bill millers is better bad. I think that is the first time I have ever said it. Only dickies was worse. Dry, no bark or flavor. Like not even the bbq sauce could save it. The bbq sauce was sweet and no kick of spice. We had a 1/2lb brisket, 1/2 turkey, 1/2 chicken, and a serving of sausage. For sides we had cream corn and green beans. Also had a salad with turkey. The salad was huge, but severely lacking any balance. Tons and tons of greens, but little of anything else. I mean salads are normally more greens, but this was ridiculous. The chicken was ok. Not bad. Not dry. The turkey and sausage were by far the favs. The sausage especially. Man it was quite good. One of the better ones I've had. The green beans were fresh, but again lacked the better flavors from other places. Bill millers green beans again are better. Man I honestly can't believe I'm saying bill millers is better than anyone. Listen, I'm not saying bill millers is super horrible. In Texas bbq is a religion. You have to stand out. This place is not it. The cream corn was standard. Also the onions could've used a lot more pickling. Was also a little pricey. Very overrated. Just go up the road to the pollos asados place. We were so disappointed as we drove by the pollos asados place and wish we had stopped there instead. Do not recommend coming here if you've been anywhere near the bbq trail in Texas.

Food is tasty. Our gkids love brisket loaded baked potato. Hubby likes cream style corn and I enjoy their pork ribs. Good bbq on Southside!

YUMMY! I was in the area for my niece's school event and my mom was saying my sister recommended this place- especially their salad with turkey. The place smelled amazing and was very clean and the staff were super friendly. The salad was absolutely enormous and delicious! There were so many elements to it (hard boiled egg, radish, carrots, cheese, tomatoes, green olives, croutons, cheese). It was what salad dreams are made of! I definitely can't wait to come back and try their bbq and cookies!

I have never eaten here - this review is based on a pick up to bring back and enjoy for an office meeting to feed 20 people I have to say the food was absolutely fantastic! The bbq sauce was delicious. Highly recommend if you're looking for good bbq and variety!!

I love B&Bs bbq so good I always get the chop brisket baked potatoe or the special they have I'm always full after leaving. everything is so delicious and the service is great the staff is friendly and welcoming at the register and window from my experience. The ambiance is wood western vibes and family friendly.

Service was fast when we went. It gets busy fast, but the wait isn't too bad. The ambiance is casual. Order first, then seat yourself, but you see people getting tables first before ordering even though there's a sign that states otherwise. Food comes out pretty fast. It's fresh. The cream corn is delicious, and so is the brisket sandwich. Now my favorite. The chicken is tender, moist, juicy paired with their barbecue sauce it's perfect. Lunch specials come with a medium-sized drink and can upsize for pocket change literally. I'm in helotes area and drive to the restaurant, which is a bit of a drive. I definitely recommend. If you are military, you do get a discount or if it's your birthday.

After a few recommendations, I finally had a chance to stop into this clearly popular Southside barbecue establishment. The parking lot was full with even a few cars roaming around looking for a spot. Luckily, I noticed a drive-thru, so there I went. After some deliberation at the large outdoor menu board, I ordered the two meat plate - brisket and sausage, along with potato salad and pinto beans. Since I had noticed other reviews referencing beef ribs, I was disappointed to learn they no longer carried them, nor did I notice them on the menu board. To start, the portion of sausage was big, but the portion of brisket was really lacking. I doubt it was even 1/4 lb. While the brisket was tender, it wasn't very smoky, although the bark was tasty. Another observation I made was the lack of a smokestack coming out of the building, so I do wonder where they "smoke" their meat. The sausage was fine, although lacking a little spice, nor did it taste absolutely "fresh off the smoker". The surprise came with the side items. The beans were good, with the definite aroma and taste of cilantro, although I wish they were a little more seasoned. The potato salad was very good, however. It had perfect flavor and the perfect mix of ingredients. The little cup of barbecue sauce was barely okay. It was just a little more sweet than spicy or peppery, but also tasted a little sour... definitely not my favorite. Overall, the price point at just under $20 for the plate was a little high for the product, unfortunately. Considering the popularity of the place, I was hoping for a little more.

I don't say this a lot. But this has to be maybe the 2nd place that I do. The BBQ here is the BOMB.COM!! Everything was good. Even the Spanish rice is as notably tasty. The turkey was really good and the lean brisket was awesome. Green beans were great. The staff was over the top. So cheerful. I think I interacted with three different people in a positive manner. And I was only picking. Great experience.

I love this place, don't get me wrong.... Pretty much everything I have eaten here has been really good. The service is always great! This review is strictly on their BBQ Chicken. I had never tried it until today and I wanted a good portion to try all parts so I ordered a full chicken. Every bite was dry, dry, dry! The skin was like leather even though it looks good. Not even their amazing bbq sauce could salvage this mess. Complete waste of $20 So if you order from here, save $ and get the amazing brisket or their awesome potatoes or turkey or even the ribs. Just pass on the chicken. IMO

When we got to San Antonio we asked the front desk where is good place to eat. Our front desk woman said that B&B smokehouse is great. My wife and I put our stuff in our room and booked it to B&B. I like that there is a drive thru. I liked the fact you have to order first then get a seat. Lily was very nice. My wife and I both ordered 2 meat plates. I upgraded my meal for the 2 ribs and brisket. The meats had a great smoke flavor. I only wish for 2 cups of bbq or a squeeze bottle. Their bbq sauce was bomb. The ambiance was nice and I knew I was going to be a good bbq teas joint. The staff was friendly as well! When I'm back in San Antonio I will be back here.

The place is packed, but the line moves fast and somehow tables just happen to empty right when you need them! Brisket was good. The sausage was delicious! That creamed corn is 60% cream and 40% corn! It was almost like a creamy corn soup. Definitely a great spot for lunch. The sweet tea is average.

I just don't get it. Why do people hype this place up so much. Brisket has no smoke ring or flavor, and very chewy. Turkey had a decent taste but no smoke flavor or bark to be found. Overall the price and the taste is horrible. I'm sorry but if this is what yall consider good bbq I have to completely disagree. I've ordered before twice to go and i figure maybe i have to sit and eat there.Wouldn't recommend. I wish I could give no stars but one will do i guess

My family and I have been a customer for years. Before it got its huge renovation .its clean and fast and cool We took my dad out to eat for Father's Day . He got pork ribs plate Mom got the brisket po boy And I got half a chicken So good not too Smokey at all decent prices and sides. Def will go again Soon

Went here with my fiance for lunch the other day. I dropped my fiance off at the front and went to look for a parking spot. I had no issue finding a parking spot, but that was probably luck on my part. I didn't see any other open spots, and it looked like other people were walking over from other parking lots nearby. I got inside, and there was a line that backed up to the door. My fiance was already about halfway to the register by the time I got in. Learned a while ago that a line to good Bbq restaurant is pretty normal. Having a line at good BBQ Restaurant is as normal as having meat and napkins I went to stand with my fiance in line. She suggested that I go find a table while she waited. The dining area was packed, but I did find a table. My fiance found me shortly after I found the table. Our order number was called out pretty quick. My fiance realized that she made a mistake by saying that she did not want lemon for her drink. Because of this, she asked me to request some when I went to get the food at the counter. The food was on the counter when I got up there. The staff behind the counter pointed to which trays were mine. I asked her for some lemon, and she got me some without issue. I got the Bacon Cheeseburger while my fiance got a Baked Potato with chopped brisket. I thought the burger was delicious. My fiance also liked her potato but ended up taking some home. I recommend this place for great food and the fast / friendly service.

Love the dining area! Ordered the burger and my parents each ordered the brisket poor boy. Food was delicious. My parents enjoy dining here and suggested the restaurant.

I have given this place plenty of chances. Their food is great. I love their brisket, their sausage, their pinto beans, and their potato salad, but every time I buy a ranch hand plate from there they are very small plates. They only give you like three little pieces of brisket. They do it through the drive-through and today I went inside thinking it might be different but it wasn't the ranch hand plate cost $18. It's more like a child's plate and I am not 6 foot four 270 pounds. If you want a good big plate that'll fill you up go to Dee Willie's BBQ in China Geove or on S Zarzamora st. Why why this place has gotten worse over time I do not know but I won't spend $20 on a plate that only has three little pieces of brisket. To all your newcomers beware

A delicious treat! They are a staple of the South side, and I love every bit of their hospitality, great portions, and delicious food! I haven't been inside, but from the pictures, i can tell it's well kept. The nice man at the window is patient. It's always crowded here and it's always number one in BBQ for us! Thanks! We'll be back!

Food is delicious. Service is quick. Place is clean and spacious for you and all your party. I definitely recommend brisket poboy and the monster baked potato with chopped brisket.

South side favorite for lunch strikes again! I used to work nearby and would visit B&B often but since moving jobs it had been a while. Was happy to stop by this week for one of their daily specials. Be wary and visit early to beat the lunch rush! I went with my usual- the chicken salad accompanied by some sweet tea. Nice, fresh, and crisp. The restaurant is always clean and has plenty of seating. Till next time B&B.

Tried this place today with some coworkers. I tell you what, get there early. They open at 11. I got there around 1045 and there were cars already waiting. One guy got in line about 1050, I followed him with my son, and right after the line was all down the building. And it was nonstop the whole time we ate. I will give them one thing, their service is fast. Once you got to order you didn't have to wait long. But if you don't want to be in the line get there early. I tried the brisket burger with fries. And about a pound of turkey and an order of fries for my son and I to split. With sweet tea. The brisket burger overall was very good. I ordered regular brisket on it. They offered lean, regular and marbled. First time I had the regular option lol the burger patty itself was kind of bland but with the brisket on top, and tomatoes, pickles etc it was pretty good. I would not order the burger by itself. The turkey was moist and had a good flavor. Fries were good. Sweet teas were good. One of my coworkers ordered the Thursday special pork ribs, and these things are huge. I should have roams a photo. Never seen pork ribs that large. He enjoyed them. There was a variety of po boys ordered and a baked potato with brisket and everyone like their food. It was a good time. The staff are always walking around looking to take away finished plates and getting refills and anything else you need. Very friendly. The place is large inside and everyone was very nice. I don't usually get to this side of town much but if I am I'll definitely give them another holler. The menu has many things to try and so far so good.

The literally pulled the table from RIGHT in front of us to give to a LARGER party !! I almost said give me a refund this was the worst experience!

This is the second time I've been here and it's been so delicioso. The wait time isn't too bad and the food is ready quickly. I got the bbq chicken and brisket with rice and beans. The rice is cooked perfectly and the beans are slightly charro but not overpowering. Brisket is moist and falls apart and the chicken is cooked well. The people who work there have good customer service skills. The one star minus is for parking. We went at 1:15 and it was still pretty packed and had to park a little far.

First timers who wanted to try something new thanks to KENS 5 Neighborhood Eats for mentioning this spot. First attempt to try it out failed because they closed early for a private party. Bummer. This time around, well, it wasn't quite what I expected. Tried to pull in , but the drive thru line is a hot mess as it wraps around the building blocking all entry ways for dine-in parking. Unclear if this is what "we" do these days, but no one left space for new customer to enter as though they were under the impression that we were going to cut the line. It was pretty busy but was moving fast. Came to order to-go and the cashier was AMAZING. As I stood in line, i overheard her take the customers order and before giving the price, she asked if they were military or veteran to provide their discounts. Thank you for this,and happy birthday! As for the food Fresh, hot and ok but nothing really stood out to me other then the fries not being crispy or seasoned (no flavor)

Food service sucks!!!! Plenty tables but not clean and handicap person can't sit at the table

Wow, blown away by the Pork Ribs. These things are huge. There's no way I could eat 4 with sides. Tried the Potato Salad and Cream Corn. Both definitely hit the spot. I was gonna try the coleslaw but they were out so I'm curious about it now. Staff was friendly, and they had a line inside and out the whole time I was there. Only complaint was the $1.00 charge for a soda drink top-off. I passed, seems really sleazy after paying $2.50 for a drink let allow a $25.00 tab for one person.

It's decent. Nothing to drive out of your way for, though. The single meat plates are $11.99 and include two sides and the usual two slices of white bread. The brisket was "so-so" but a bit on the dry side. The turkey was the best - it was very moist and had a great smoky taste to it. The tater salad was good, and so were the pinto beans. The best deal found was a 22oz draft of Ziegenbock for $3.25. You should check them out if you are nearby, but don't drive out of your way for it.

I swear I have reviewed B&B as we have been going for many years. Usually after a morning of shooting at A Place to Shoot. I have been going since they were in the smaller building down the street. It really had character. The new location has a much larger dining area. be careful where you park. There is a small number of spaces just north of the light, but when the drive through backs up you will get stuck there. My daughter likes the baked potatoes with brisket. I prefer the meats and sides. The brisket was moist, tender, and had a good smoked flavoring. The turkey also moist and smokey. Pulled pork was disappointing. It was tender, but appeared to spent too long in water in a steam tray. Proper pulled pork is "pulled" right off the butt or shoulder at the time of serving. This way the customer gets some of the bark in with the tender meat. I had the potato salad and green beans as sides. Both generous portions (Hey Bill Miller look at the photo for the way sides should look). Potato salad was creamy with good flavor and an occasional but of crunch celery. Green beans had a fresh taste, but could use the addition of bacon for flavor.

The meats were very dry. And the green beans are so soggy. The service was okay. It was a little slow but nothing too crazy. I'm sure there's a much better Texas bbq place.

The food and service is excellent. The potato salad and beans are some of the best I have tasted in a barbecue restaurant.

B&B Smokehouse delivers delicious BBQ at an unbeatable price. The brisket is a standout, offering a perfect balance of tenderness and smoky flavor, while the sausages are juicy and flavorful. The casual atmosphere and friendly service enhance the experience, making it a great spot for BBQ lovers. Overall, it's an excellent choice for satisfying cravings without breaking the bank.

Love, love the bbq here, grew up coming here when it was a small house with an outdoor smokehouse. Definitely has grown, yet the food is just as mouth-watering as before. If you haven't tried it before, drive on down to the Southside and gotcha some bbq you won't regret it. Tell em I sent you. They also have scraps for the doggos.

Went for a birthday lunch, found a table and food was delicious. The ribs are perfect! The brisket is awesome . Always great service!

I would've given them a 5 but went to get one refill and they said it was $1 per refill. No where does it say that and they were gonna charge my card for $1. ‍ Food good but for 2 people it's almost $60 and they can't give a refill for free!!?!

I came a few times when this place was smaller. First time visiting the new larger restaurant. It is very roomy and a great break from the heat. The wait from ordering line to food in hand was minimal. Although they did forget a small part of my order,I had no problem getting a refund for the item. The sausage and bbq chicken were flavorful. Cream corn was so good! The sweet tea is not sweet enough for my liking but overall the food was delicious. Definitely a place to come back with the whole family. Be warned as well that if they run out of items- that is it... they had run out of baked potatoes and ribs by 6pm on a Monday! Should be testament of the good food.

When in Texas, barbecue is a must. I was in town for a long weekend and family recommended we try B&B on the South Side - it was a good half hour trek each way and unfortunately the actual meal was underwhelming. PROS: Lots of parking, drive thru for convenience, quick service inside, large menu, staff were friendly and constantly cleaning up tables, sides (potato salad, Spanish rice and pinto beans) were all better than average. CONS: The actual meats were just okay. We got a 3 meat combo plate for dine in, and ordered a brisket plate to go for my mom back home. Brisket seems to be their standout but it was plain and didn't have much flavor, visible smoke ring but very one-note. Slices were leaner than expected even when ordering otherwise. Quality doesn't seem to be consistent and the slices served on the takeout plate were actually "fatty/moist" as ordered. We also tried the sausage, which was in an odd misshapen piece that looked like a tail, and the turkey, which was served hacked into hard and misshapen pieces. As I said above, the sides were good. But if your sides outshine the proteins, that's a problem. Also found it odd that this spot only seems to have one house barbecue sauce available. We also got one of their brisket tacos, with grilled onions, only to get it sans onions - but the price for the value (three slices of brisket in the taco) was good. At best, this place was inconsistent. I can't say I'll be back here specifically but I will be circling back with the folks who recommended this spot to see what they typically order. But if you're specifically looking for great brisket, maybe head elsewhere.

Best dam smokehouse in the Southside. Fast friendly service A place to take your family and friends. This place is always rocking with delicious food.

Great BBQ, great service, great price. I highly recommend B&B. I am definitely going back!

Stopped in for lunch. Their chalupas are not on the menu, but are my cousins favorite. They were good & filling. Nect time i will add beef.

When you are supposed to be open on Easter, be open or at least post signs and tell those waiting and on social media you're closed. Never encountered this so horrible

Got a baked potato and it was very good. Ordered to go and all extras were included. It was a group order and everyone was satisfied and got what they expected. Great selection as well.

Shame on father's day they ran out of food. Disappointed. Should have taken business elsewhere

The food was tasty! Pulled pork po'boy for me. Delicious. The serving of BBQ sauce on the side was unique, had some mild heat, and tasted so good. Good fries, too. The husband got chicken - moist, flavorful, good smoky BBQ taste. He enjoyed his sides - the beans and coleslaw with the vinegar-based dressing. We skipped dessert. We went at lunchtime on a weekday. There was a line, but it moved fast and efficiently. Food came quickly. We found an available table easily. Energetic vibe. Lots of tables. Open dining area. We were visiting the area from out of state and wanted to eat Texas BBQ. Signs of a good restaurant: A line waiting to order, many locals enjoying a lunch break at the tables around us, and a crowded parking lot. We checked off all three for this place. Not to mention good reviews on Yelp.

Arrived - only meats were brisket and sausage. No potatoes. No beans. Figure your demand out. Do not recommend.
