Best Restaurants in San Antonio | Eater Austin

"Tucked in a residential neighborhood near the Alamodome, this barbecue restaurant doesn’t have the historic charm of most destination smoked meats joints. Titular brothers Nick and Elliott Reese draw long lines anyway. The offerings hew closely to the Texas ideal with moist turkey and peppery brisket, but the spot excels most when it reflects its home city. The pillowy tortillas, queso fundido sausage, and ridiculously creamy poblano macaroni and cheese are as puro as they come." - Brandon Watson

The 50 Best New Restaurants of 2022 | Bon Appétit

"Brothers Nick and Elliott Reese are still relatively new to the barbecue game. Before they started working pits in West Texas back in 2018, their only barbecue joint experience had been front of house. But ever since they opened their own truck, nestled beside a covered patio full of rainbow picnic tables in a residential part of San Antonio, they’ve been winning coveted Texas barbecue awards left and right—which, when you live in Texas, is very serious business. The proof is on the tray: fall-apart brisket oak-smoked to barky perfection, juicy-spicy sausages stuffed with queso fundido, and a slew of excellent Mexican-inspired sides from chefs Jorge Flores and Gabriel Perez." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff & Contributors

Near the Alamodome, the Reese brothers serve brisket, ribs, and a cult-favorite queso fundido sausage with South Texas flair. Cited by Texas Monthly’s 2025 Top 50 and local critics, it’s a relaxed hangout with serious smoke.

My husband and I stopped in for some BBQ near the Alamodome and were blown away. The brisket was incredibly flavorful and tender, and the sauce paired perfectly. I had the chopped brisket sandwich—juicy, smoky, and packed with flavor. Everything was reasonably priced, which made the whole experience even better. The staff were absolutely wonderful—friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. Even in the Texas heat, their shaded outdoor seating had a nice breeze and felt surprisingly comfortable. The whole vibe was relaxed and just what you want from a great BBQ spot in San Antonio. Later that evening, we strolled around the block nearby and our kids had fun visiting with a few of the city cats that weren’t out during the afternoon. A sweet little ending to a busy day! We’ll definitely be back!

Ribs 4/5, one point down because it was too tender but I know it’s personal preference on ribs. Sausage 5/5, unique and delicious Brisket 3/5, brisket could use some work. It’s still more delicious than anything I could make but it’s not as good as other BBQ places. Mac and cheese 5/5, again delicious and unique Okra beans 4/5, delicious but personal taste not a big fan of the okra. Will still order it again. BBQ sauce 5/5, unique and delicious. Never had a chipotle (maybe?) based BBQ sauce and wish I can take a bottle home

You have to make your way down to try this place! The vibe is great and the food is better. The brisket was moist and the bark was incredible. The Verde burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had! I'm not typically a sauce kind of guy. I like the meat to speak for itself but their BBQ sauce is exactly what I want in a sauce. Peppery and vinegary (if that's a word). The coleslaw was addictive. The Otis taco was so different but in the best way. And to top it off the fundido sausage was so damn good! 10 out of 10. I can't wait to go back to try all the other things. I have zero negative things to say about it. Got there at 10:56 and waited about ten minutes. The line was constantly moving. All the food in both pictures was only 40 bucks. For a BBQ joint that aint bad at all! Grab a drink and enjoy!

One of the best barbecue spots I’ve been to, super friendly and welcoming and good was top tier full of flavor!! Staff noticed my dog I had brought, My puppy Bane who’s a Cane Corso and while I was waiting in line brought me a bowl of water for my puppy! So so touched by the kindness of staff and welcoming vibes and some super delicious food!!

This is the best BBQ spot in San Antonio. The food is absolutely amazing, like nothing we've had before. We ordered the brisket, carnitas, pork/beef sausage, and the Mac and cheese. All the meats were cooked perfectly and had a ton of flavor. The service was top notch and the food came out quickly. The atmosphere here is great too. The whole restaurant feels like you're hanging out on someone's back patio as if it's a backyard BBQ. Be sure to get here as close to open as you can as they're open from 11 till the food runs out. We ordered at about 12:30 and by the time we left they were out of just about everything. Also the sweet tea is true southern sweet tea. If we're back in the San Antonio area this will be a must visit spot!

What can I say, we stopped by on a whim and now we will need to go out of our way to come back! The food was fantastic! Don’t be intimidated by the line, just grab a beer while you wait! The staff was fantastic and the food was even better! Loved the Brisket and Sausage! Do yourself a favor and add this to your food tour list in San Antonio!

Reese Bros Barbecue is hands down one of the best BBQ spots in San Antonio! The brisket is unbelievably tender and packed with flavor, with the perfect balance of smoke and seasoning. Their queso fundido sausage is a must-try—spicy, cheesy, and absolutely delicious. The sides are just as amazing, especially the poblano mac and cheese. On top of that, the atmosphere is great, with a laid-back vibe and friendly staff who make you feel right at home. If you’re looking for top-notch Texas BBQ, this is the place to go! Can’t wait to come back!

Probably one of the best BBQ experiences I've had in Texas. Dare I say, better than Terry Black's? There was a line already before it was open and you could tell a lot of these people were locals so you know it's legit. They have a huge outdoor space and a private parking lot which is super convenient. Food was amazing. Their brisket was super tender and tasty even without their sauce. The meat to fat ratio was also high. The queso fundido sausage was just and carnitas were super moist. 10/10 would recommend. They offer a 10% military discount

To hear that this is the best new barbecue spot in san antonio for the last year had me having high expectations. All the proteins lacked adequate amounts of seasoning as well as the proper tenderness. In this case the ribs were overcooked and the brisket was as well. The turkey tasted as if it was smoked for a minimal amount of time, then rapidly foil wrapped to speed up the cook. Their best meat was their sausage, awesome texture and great flavor! The sides were lackluster besides their poblano mac, spot on! They should improve on mainly everything, and even embark on making homemade pickles

I went on a weekday at around 11:30am. I was worried it would be majorly packed, but luckily the line wasn't too bad. Overlal I waited maybe 10-15 minutes and after ordering my food came out very quickly. I got turkey, brisket, ribs, and some sausage and our favorites was the brisket and the turkey! We were really surprised about the turkey as I sort of expected it to be dry and almost didn't order it. But instead, it was moist with a wonderful mild smoky flavor. My daughter who is 5 years old and notoriously picky actually liked it a lot which was a wonderful surprise. Some of the brisket was fatty which in my opinion was the best pieces. I think I spent a bit over $100 but I was visiting San Antonio and I figured this was a destination in itself to enjoy some top notch world class barbeque. Excellent place, I'd go again!! I really like the atmosphere of the place, there were a lot of people sitting at the tables having a great time. We did takeout though so didn't sit down.

Reese Bros never disappoints. I've been here many times. Always friendly, fast, excellent customer service and most importantly consistently delicious bbq. Bonus, they also make a mean margarita. Three thumbs up!

Excellent BBQ. It was literally my first stop on my San Antonio work trip and met my expectations for greatness. Seasoned to the gods, smoked to the heavens, you cannot go wrong. Of course the service was top notch and kept the line moving and love the southern hospitality. I showed up on Saturday around 1pm and the only thing sold out was sausage. Pineapple margaritas were delicious and strong. Closes when everything is sold out. Highly recommend!

Oh my stars. This is truly the best BBQ in SA, I've searched high and low. The ribs are the craziest thing I've ever eaten, literally slips off the bone. One time in what seemed like a dream I ate the most delicious SMOKED CHICKEN WINGS here, and I cried. Incredible BBQ. And some beautiful man in black butcher clothes usually hands me bites of brisket to try while I'm ordering. Doesn't hurt that the girl who usually takes my order is like the kindest, friendliest person on the planet. And Pacifico micheladas?Thank u that's all

I always compare BBQ places to Franklin as they are one of the standard great BBQ places in Texas. Because of this it is hard to find good BBQ places out of central Texas. Although this is in central Texas, this place is just okay. The sausage was the best meat I had, followed by the pork ribs, and the Brisket at last. I got the green mac and cheese which had no flavor. I did appreciate the tortilla which it is clear that this food is ment to be eaten in them. I wanted this place to be up there with the greats but it's not. It can be but need more work as the moist cut brisket I got was dry. Make that make sense. I would give this a 3.5 but since I can't add the .5 I will average down to 3.

After seeing this place mentioned several times as having the best BBQ in San Antonio, I had to try them out. I visited on a Friday making sure to arrive early. Had no trouble parking in their private lot across the street. I arrived about 10 minutes before they opened which gave me time to decide on what to eat. Luckily, there was only a couple of people in front of me but a small line soon developed. The lady taking my order was super nice. For my order, I went with the smoked brisket, queso fundido sausage. For sides, I grabbed poblano mac and cheese and beans. After placing my order, I poured myself some water at a station they had set up. They do have a separate area set up for drinks. I found myself a spot to sit and waited for my order to be brought out. It felt like being in someone's backyard, very chill. My food was brought out to my table with quickness. Everything looked delicious so it was hard to decide on where to start. As expected, the brisket and sausage were both phenomenal. The brisket had good smoke flavor. The cheese was oozing out of the sausage. The sides hit just as good. I had never had poblano mac and cheese before and it was magical. The okra in the beans was new to me, but made for a great combo. The order came with red onions and pickles and 2 kinds of sauces. I am not sure what the alternate sauce but I really liked their BBQ sauce. You also can opt for tortillas or white bread to accompany the meats. I can see why this place is thought of so highly. I will definitely be back to this place in the future!

Friendly folks serving up BBQ made with love and care. Chef threw in some lean brisket because we had ordered juicy and the lean got cut by mistake, but it was a great way to contrast the two styles. Thank you! The ribs were stupendous. Smoky, fall off the bone tender. Would've like to see the meat selections before we ordered so we could point out the parts we wanted but it's served out of the trailer so there's just a little order window --maybe consider a way to showcase the goodness. Beverage program is well organized and they have a full bar. Really enjoyed the ambience of the beer garden and fans keeping you cool outside. Take your team for a Friday lunch- good vibes and lots of parking.

I was able to make it during the weekday for lunch! We got there at 1p, and they were already sold out if Turkey. Booo! So we went with the ribs instead! Meats we tried was brisket of course, the ribs, and the queso fundido sausage! Brisket was the fav! Cooked perfectly!! The ribs and sausage were amazing too!!As far as sides, I liked the okra beans. Great concept putting okra in beans! I love both of those things. Their poblano Mac n cheese wasn't my favorite, I looooove cheese, so I prefer the regular kind! There is parking across the street available and lots of tables to eat. My friend from out of state was enamored my the brisket! Close to downtown too!

Of the 3 barbecue places we tried around San Antonio downtown. This is the best one! Only downside is waiting in line in the sun, they don't have any shade. But they were nice enough to come out with free cold beer for people in line, and some meats. When you finally get to the counter, the nice employee behind the counter gave us two small pieces of brisket to try, they just melt in your mouth so good. Would def recommend this place and try it again if you're ever back in town

Such friendly staff. Even better barbecue. Awesome outdoor seating as well. Your food will come out as quickly as your order. The bar is separate with beer and cocktails (highly recommend the frozen watermelon margarita) and you absolutely should indulge. Can't recommend the brisket enough and totally get the torta sandwich with carnitas. Walk here, drive here, just go here - you won't regret it!

My family and I went to Reese Bros BBQ and it was 10/10! From customer service, atmosphere, and food quality. Brisket was so moist and tender. Turkey was so juicy. Corn salad was really light and tasty. I was excited to try the poblano Mac and cheese and it was really good! I would say it could use some sort of salt or maybe cheddar element. Definitely a unique concept and tasty as well for anyone who's a fan of poblano. We ordered 1lb brisket, .5 turkey, small side of corn salad, large side of poblano Mac, and order of a side of tortillas. This came out to $69. I think this is reasonably priced for the quality of the meat. My family of 3 could not even finish this. Atmosphere was really friendly. Reminded me of being in Austin. If you have a chance to swing by I would definitely go. We will be back to try some new things.

This place existed for two years and I just found out about it. Being a barbecue lover, I had to eat their food. I got a half pound of brisket($16),a half pound of pork ribs($12),a queso sausage link($6) and a small poblano mac and cheese($5). The brisket was tender with good flavor. The ribs were fall off the bone tender. The queso sausage was cheesy and delicious. The let down was the poblano mac and cheese. It was just okay. I took 90% of it home. I had high expectations because of the rave reviews their poblano mac and cheese received. The other sides on offer didn't tickle my fancy(that's why I didn't order them). The service was very good and everyone was super friendly. They all seemed happy to work there. Make sure you say hi to John working in the beverage area. John was a cool person to talk to and he was very helpful. This place was cool and they only have outside seating. Some of the areas were covered and some had fans to cool you down. It's only street parking and I highly recommend getting there by 10:30.The line wasn't bad, but I've heard that they sell out before 2pm. Check out this place if you love good barbecue.

Absolutely the best BBQ I have had, especially the carnitas! Brisket was incredibly tender & just the right ratio of meat to fat. Great sides-slaw & Mac were both unique & flavorful. Service was quick & they had a good selection of beers. Classic bbq bench seating under shade tarps. Great find & highly recommend!

I have found my BBQ stop in San Antonio. This small business produces high quality brisket, an amazing smoked sausage, and all the other usual suspect dishes. This is a walk-up order/seat yourself place and all seating is outdoors (albeit covered) so it's a good idea to come early enough to beat the heat AND before they sell out! They also have a decent drink/beer/alcohol selection. Recommend.

Outdoor walk-up eatery. Order at front. Great flavor on all the sausage and brisket options. I got all this food for like $16! See pics. Sausage chili cheese dog, and a Brisket Carne Guisada Taco.

Friendly Service - ordering is at a window, all outdoor seating with cover which can be uncomfortable on a hot - cold day. I ordered the brisket, pork ribs and house sausage all of which are on point. I noticed Moburg smokers, a good indicator for real bbq. The potato salad was most impressive compared to other places, and the okra beans though unusual was a nice touch. Overall really good bbq, the rave reviews are well deserved. Will definitely return.

Reese Bros is a mighty fine addition to the Texas BBQ scene. They have a solid take on Texas BBQ and even have a little Tex-Mex flair to their venue and meals. You'll be ordering brisket that is rich and savory. It nearly melts in your mouth as you get through it. The ribs are succulent and juicy. You will be gnawing at the bones to get each piece. The sausage and pulled pork are good but not nearly as memorable as the brisket and ribs. Bon Appetite recently declared Reese Bros as one of the 50 best new restaurants across the country. While that ranking might be too high, that doesn't mean that this establishment doesn't deserve praise. It's really good BBQ that maybe just doesn't qualify as an instant classic. But that doesn't mean it won't be with time.

First - how do I make this 4.5 stars? ...guess maybe I just did. After leaving this place with tummies nice and filled, the kids and myself enjoyed a nice post feast nap on the drive back from San Antonio to Austin.... just sayin' if ya know what I mean. Brisket - we're a "moist please" brisket kinda family. Juicy, flavorful, not too peppery. These pieces happened to be a tad bit fattier which made it a little too rich the more bites I took. But! You get what you ask for right? Maybe next time I'll order 1 moist and 1 lean. BBQ Sauce - personally for me, the meat should speak for itself so I generally don't sauce anything. Taste tested - nice, tangy, and not too sweet. Pork Ribs - good but not my personal favorite. Can't quite pinpoint exactly what it was. I want to say too much flavor? Or could I have already been too riched out from all the other smorgasbord of food we ordered? Pulled pork - stand alone lacked salt. Perfect once paired with the special pulled pork sauce. Okra beans - kind of like charro beans with okra. Beans and okra were cooked to perfect texture. I was still left wanting a little deeper flavor. You know, like how chili or stew tastes better the next day after simmering over the stove. Jalapeno corn bread - I could not stop eating this and I was sooo full. To me, I know when something is good (I mean real good) when I normally wouldn't have ordered it because I thought I wouldn't like it and then - surprise! I don't know if my pictures do this bad mama justice. There's this caramelized (but savory not sweet) top moist layer. I don't normally like sweet corn bread but have to say - this one I did. Jalapeño slice and spice added a nice balanced contrast. Mac n Cheese - a little soft to my liking. I'm more of an al dente kinda gal. Add in the excellent customer service and that's a wrap.

The third time really IS the charm. On my third attempt to try this relatively new barbecue joint when they weren't already out of food, I finally realized for myself what the rave is all about. The food was amazing! On top of that, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was very cool. I arrived right around 1pm on a Sunday and was happy to see there was a relatively short line to stand in. It moved slower than I would have liked, but my wait time was roughly 20 minutes to order. The delivery of my platter was really fast though... not even 4 minutes. I discovered near the front of the line, however that they were already out of sausage and pork ribs. Not to worry... I was here for the brisket. I also added some turkey which I'm also glad I ordered. Although there were four sides to choose from, I ordered the "okra beans" and the herb coleslaw... also very good choices. First off, when the platter arrived, I was happy to notice that they also included barbecue sauces on the side - and not covering the food. The platter was also graced by a nice serving of pickled onions - which were excellent! I had requested both moist and lean brisket but honestly, there was little difference in both the appearance and flavor. They were both smoked very well, with the fat rendering perfectly and a nice noticeable smoke ring. The server included plasticware but only a fork and spoon. Honestly, there was no need for a knife. The brisket was extremely juicy, and was easily separated with a fork. Overall, the brisket may be some of the best I've had in San Antonio in recent years. Solid A! Now there are few places I've tried smoked turkey but there was a noticeable appearance of the seasoning on the turkey. It was both smoky AND juicy. This was definitely the most juicy turkey I've had at a barbecue restaurant. Solid A! The surprise of the meal was the okra-flavored beans! I could have ordered a truck full of them and still not been happy. Honestly, the plastic spoon they gave me was not big enough to shovel them in my mouth fast enough! SOLID A! The herb coleslaw, although very good, was probably the only thing I had that I wouldn't give an A+. While it was very good, and a nice choice for those who would rather not have the potato salad or poblano mac and cheese I would still rate it as a solid B+ not only because I didn't want to shovel it in my mouth like I did the beans! While I may try the sauces at home with some other barbecue, I would also make sure I have an even bigger serving of the picked onions. While the only drawback to my entire meal was the number of flies who apparently loved this barbecue as much as I did, overall, Reece Bros Barbecue lived up to the ratings it's received... and I'll be back to try the ribs and sausage! Great job Reese Bros.!

This place is a must try! The food is delicious. If you want mouth melting brisket this is your place! I am not a huge fan of turkey and but honestly the turkey was so soft and flavorful. The sausage was sooo tasty ! I will be back soon. I tried the michelada and I was not impressed, wayyyy to much ice. Next time I'll stick to the food lol Service was soo quick, there was quite a line but once we ordered our food came out fast. This is a great place to come and eat with the family. Plenty of shaded seating area.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I really wish I would of taken pictures of our food but I was so hungry and the food looked so good so I was more focused on my belly than my phone Ok so first things first that flipping poblano macaroni and cheese is money!! I could of eaten a gallon of it! I want more!! Haha My second favorite was their smoked Turkey slices ugh amazing!!! It was the perfect smoke! I don't add any condiments I let protein speak for itself and let me tell you it spoke! Thirdly was their smoked sausage, as soon as I cut in to it, it exploded on my plate with juices haha was a little spicy for my sensitive pallet but I powered through it and it was probably one of the better smoked sausages I've had. From one Reese to another y'all know what your doing! Don't miss out on this place it's totally worth it! 5 stars for sure!

Amazing place! The staff is super duper friendly and super cool! Parking is never a problem as they have a HUGE parking area in the back. The food is made fresh everyday and they close once they run out. It is by far the best bbq place I have ever been to. The environment is nice as well with the old school Mexican metal tables. It's the perfect spot to sit on a nice breezy day and have a nice cold beer!

Artisanal BBQ in a Roadhouse with generous outdoor seating, a gigantic secret parking lot behind, cheerful staff, and a pair of stoked brothers to create, like mad scientists of perfect food, the best barbecue you may ever have. The smoked turkey may change your understanding of what turkey can be, even if you've had smoked turkey before. The carnitas carries a smoke ring, and the appropriate sear and crisp in the estilo Tetnotlican. The smoked chorizo/serrano/queso sausage is literal Fredericksburg perfection. Let's visit brisket with a crackly, peppery bark, quarter inch smoke ring, melt-in-your mouth decadence and flavor that will ensure you think you need to order more. They've got cold beers, great tea, sodas, shaded benches, a dog-friendly lawn, clean bathrooms, plenty of napkins and more. In a town filled with outstanding barbecue, the Reese Brothers is one of our absolute favorites.

San Antonio BBQ lovers (and visiting tourists), let me introduce you to a new BBQ joint that opened in 2022 and will disrupt the San Antonio BBQ scene. Reese Bros Barbecue is a family-run business operated by two brothers. And, these guys can cue!!!!. This. eclectic BBQ joint , located on the Eastside of San Antonio, is just a few blocks away from the Alamodome. The neighborhood is a bit sketchy so you may want to drive instead of walking from the Alamodome. Whatever you do, GO because this place ought to be on Texas Monthly's top 10 Texas BBQ restaurants. Why? Well, I'm glad you asked. The sausages are seasoned, ground meat in a casing perfection! There are two sausage options. Let's start with the Brisket Boudin, it's beefy, smoky, spicy shredded brisket with Cajun-flavored rice inside of a casing. And, as God said in the first book of the Bible, it is good!!! If you like your food spicy and hot, like I like my men, you better beat me to the line and get you some of that boudin. And while you're at it, also try option #2, the Queso Fundido Links, a spicy, Mexican-influenced Kielbasa with chunks of white cheese. The Queso Fundido is also delicious and worth the calories and the cost. The sausages cost $6.00 each. They are a nice size and they are made in-house. Now, because this is Texas and brisket is king of Texas BBQ, I must give a nod to the brisket and say that it is tender and good. Personally, I would like just a tad more seasoning on the brisket, but probably no one is going to complain about this besides me. Reese Bros also offer pork ribs, pulled pork and sometimes carnitas. Sadly, I have never seen barbecue chicken on the menu, but I hope that they will expand their menu in the future. In addition to the standard menu, special items are sometimes offered like tortas, which is a Mexican-style sandwich. Please note: I am not a fan of the two bbq sauces on offer. I think there was chili powder in the red BBQ sauce and that was not to my liking. I have some highly developed taste buds and that taste just did not work for me. My recommendation is to eat the meat and bring your favorite BBQ sauce in someone's pocketbook. Now, let's move on to the side dishes. There are currently four options--potato salad, coleslaw, beans with okra and my personal favorite the poblano macaroni & cheese. All of the sides are worthy of spending your hard earned green dollars. For dessert there's strawberry cobbler, but I can't tell you how that is because they are always sold out. So, here's the rub, Reese Bros BBQ has limited hours of service. Right now, they are open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday's from 11 am - 5 pm, but, the food sells out fast. One day when I went, they were sold out by 1:30 pm. I got my food, but I just sat on the patio and watched several disappointed patrons walk away without satisfying their barbecue cravings. If you go, heed my advice and arrive by 11 am, walk up to the outdoor counter with confidence and order a little bit of everything. Be warned, all of the seating is outdoors and it is a bit rustic. The flies are rather annoying. Also, be careful when parking because most of the parking is a dirt and gravel lot. Unfortunately, I picked up a screw in my tire and had to buy a new tire right after I left the restaurant. By the way, although the entire dining experience is outdoors, the service is exceptional. These guys are nice. They periodically check on their guests and address any concerns. The food is also quickly delivered to your table. Alrighty Foodie Family, ya'll know how we do, you better go get you some, but, I'm gonna tell mama if you eat up all of my sausages.

I was in San Antonio for a couple days and really wanted to have good Texas barbecue! Google Maps directed me to this place and I'm glad it did! I went at opening so I had very little wait time. I ordered my food from the friendly staff and they had my food out in minutes! I ordered smoked brisket, queso fundido sausage, and pork ribs. The brisket was so tender and full of smoky flavor! The queso fundido sausage was also smoky and had a little kick from some pepper! The ribs weren't fall off the bone but still tasted good! For my sides, I had the poblano mac and cheese and okra beans. I normally don't like okra, but the okra beans here made me change my mind, at least for a little bit! They weren't mushy or too bitter! It paired well with the beans and veggies. The poblano mac and cheese had to be my favorite item here! It looked fantastic with its bright green color and had excellent peppery flavor! Had some heat but never became overwhelming! I wanted my Texas barbecue fix while I was in San Antonio and I'd say I got it! I would absolutely come back here if ever I came back to visit!

Great BBQ & laid back downtown atmosphere. The brisket and turkey was smoked to perfection & their side options really complement the meats. We also tried the pozole and it was amazing. This joint has the best BBQ in the city!!!

I never write reviews but this one takes the cake. Many times of Reese Bros. Pineapple smoked mezcal margarita their food is to die for. Will come back because they sold out of turkey today. Thank you for the delicious lunch!

Make customers wait in the sun to order with little to no shade. They take quite a while to take orders and are in no rush what so ever

Awesome roadside spot. Quite possibly the best smoked brisket I have ever had. Sides were also very good. This is the place to get BBQ in San Antonio.

This place is probably the best BBQ I've ever tasted. The service is surprisingly friendly. Despite the heat there is still a line when it opens which is just more evidence of how good the food is. Making sure I get there just before they open so that I don't miss out. Everyone should experience this bbq.

Alright everyone, sorry, but it's time to get real and slow the 5-Star roll on all these hipster 'cue joints popping up everywhere like Quik Trips. My friends and I stood in a very long line in the sun on a weekend that, despite the length, moved fairly quickly. Part of the reason for that may be that while we waited they sold out of every meat but brisket and queso fundido sausage. It was noon. At least it made things easier to narrow down when it came to ordering. When I got to the register, a very friendly gentleman took my order for a half-pound of MARBLED brisket ($16/half-pound--not unreasonable), queso fundido sausage link, and a small poblano mac n' cheese. After I placed the order--and I do this at EVERY barbecue joint--I asked the gentleman to ensure they had MARBLED brisket, to which he replied yes. As mentioned, it was crowded, but we got lucky and were able to secure shaded seating. The food came out promptly. The poblano mac n' cheese tasted interesting initially, but was dry and after a few bites I was well over it. The same was true for the queso fundido sausage, although I appreciated the spice and snappy casing. The glaring failure--and you see where this is going--was that the bottom half of my "marbled" brisket was the driest clod I have ever put in my mouth. In fact, it got drier as we dined. Unacceptable. So, make that $16 for a quarter pound of marbled brisket. The top portion had a nice overly seasoned bark (fine by me) and was adequately marbled. Lastly, between the two barbecue sauces provided, I much preferred the sweeter and darker sauce to the orange (habanero?) sauce. That was also a miss for me. Overall, not bad, but I don't see myself returning based on the dry clod, which is akin to dry eggs, dry chicken, or well-done steak. Verboten!

First time here, I cannot believe that they've been open over a year and I have just made my way over to their location, considering I used to live in this hood. The brisket was very flavorful and moist, as well as the turkey. I ordered the sausage link and it definitely had a unique flavor that I liked a lot. The okra beans were also outstanding. They gave us sauce and bread with our meal, but I the meat did not require sauce- which is the way I prefer my BBQ. I will plan to keep Reece Bros on my regular restaurant rotation from now on.

Great hidden gem! We are so glad we waited for parking because lunch was sooooo worth it! Went after the noon hour and they were already out of brisket. Had the pulled pork, sausage, poblano mac and cheese, okra beans and tried some corn bread. Wowza! Everything was delicious! The hubby and I left totally satisfied. Will revisit and early so we can try brisket!

Best BBQ in Texas! Seating is outdoor, but shaded, so if you're not from Texas or somewhere hotter you'll hate it.

The good things: fun atmosphere, good corn, turkey The ok things: poblano mac The not great things: Beans were tasteless. Ribs were very, very greasy. Drink selection--with hot weather most of the year, ice cold drinks are a must and we got coolish drinks. There were no zero calorie sweeteners for ice tea. Flies--they were buzzing around us all of lunch. We were there an hour after they opened and they were already out of tortillas. No bread is served with the meat.

did we order too much food for two? yes. was it delicious? yes. would we do it again? yes, but maybe not much. lesson learned. we ordered - 1lb brisket: they gave us 1/2 moist, 1/2 lean, would have requested all moist if posible. good flavor, yummy. - 1/2 lb ribs: 3 large ribs, the part on the bone was a bit dry, the cartilage part was really moist - 1 sausage: usually not a big sausage person, but actually really enjoyed it! - large poblano mac: could have had more poblano flavor but i was overall very happy with this side would have been nice to have some bread as an option. outdoor seating only but lots of area to sit. we were seated in the back so i was surprised by the attentiveness of the staff. they would come by and ask us how everything was and refilled our water too. all in all a great experience, yummy bbq.
