šŸ‘: 1.Brisket very tender, not too much fat, give it. 4.2 out 5 2. The beans may be the best I have ever had. 5 out of 5. 3. No wait, fast friendly service. 4. The BBQ sauce is great but very similar to rudys, more peppers here though. 4.5 out of 5 5. Free Alamo beer, 1 per person. šŸ‘Ž 1. Sold out of all other meats by 2 pm on Sunday and some sides. 2. Atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. Would love for it to have more of a local feel. 3. Needs a new front door, like a commercial door you can simply push open instead of a no window front door with a knob. Tight fit to get in and out. 4. No paper towels in restroom, drives me nuts. The hand dryer is way too high for kids. 5. Outdoor area has lots of promise but seems like an after thought. Ad some fake grass and a play area for kids and more umbrellas and be a huge hit.

First of all the staff and owners made the experience here! I am from Washington State and was in San Antonio for a convention. It was my intention to come to Texas, for my first time, and have the famed BBQ. South BBQ was the spot we chose and was definitely worth it. First we got a 1.25lbs of ribs, and the vinegar Cole Slaw. the meat was cooked to perfection, the Cole slaw tangy. The BBQ sauce was the bomb, I know because I love BBQ sauce. To top the experience off the Carmelo was a doll and quite the gentleman. Andrew (who I think was one of the owners) showed me thier BBQ pit set up and even let me go to the kitchen to get up close and see how everything was done. All in all it was definitely my favorite place, and likely will be the only place I'll go in the future.

My brother, dad and I stopped in this afternoon for late lunch, it was our first time. We loved it! We sampled brisket, ribs, pulled pork, sausage, cream corn and mustard potato salad. The meat fell off the rib, the brisket was juicy and the bark was delicious! The sausage is spicy but great tasting. The pulled pork was flavorful as well. We will definitely come back, it is outdoor seating only and there isn’t a public restroom so be prepared. It is BYOB and they do have T.V’s outside to catch a game. Update! I was in the area again and had been craving their bbq. They do have restrooms inside. 2nd time here the food is DELICIOUS! We got brisket, ribs and sausage link. Definitely will be back again!

We came pretty late on a saturday and they actually still had a good selection. I had one pulled pork taco and one brisket taco and they were both delicious and juicy. Someone else got pulled pork plate and another had the brisket plate, both looked delicious but I will say the brisket looks more marbled and that's not for everybody, but it was flavorful and good. The person with brisket said it was some of the best they've had! The one thing that wasnt so pleasing/was shocking to me was that they actually ran out of barbeque sauce!! I would think they could make a lot of that ahead of time, unlike the actual food that takes a long time to prepare and cook just right. It was a bit unfortunate as you would think a bbq place would always have bbq sauce. Also our rice was a little over done/dry but still flavorful so I'll have to try it again and go earlier in the day. We had the tater tot casserole too and that was delicious. I tried some of the vinegar slaw which was really good but you definitely have to be ready for the vinegar flavor! Service was great and they have made online ordering and curbside a breeze during...

My first visit, and I got my order to go, so this review will probably need updating later. This place is super close to home, so barely a 5 minute drive. Quick first impressions. Clean, friendly staff, quick service, and like most good BBQ places, expensive. But that's to be expected nowadays I guess. Looks like it could use a little more interior seating. Nice outdoor seating area that will be very comfortable now that heat of summer is fading. Fair amount of parking but I can see where it could get pretty crowded once they start attracting bigger crowds. I ordered a Chopped Brisket sandwich ($8.00). No drink, no sides. It was really good, with a lot of lean meat and a bunch of pickles. I'll update once I can afford to eat there again.

Update: I’ve been back twice since my first visit, and haven’t been disappointed. So far I’ve tried the chicken leg quarters (good), both types of sausage (good flavor but sometimes dry) and the brisket (moist, very good). I have not tried the ribs or pulled pork yet, but plan to. Rice, beans & potato...

Update: I've been craving their tater tot casserole so I finally came back and decided to try the chicken quarter and jalapeƱo cheddar link (which were very delicious). Tator tot casserole was šŸ”„šŸ¤¤. Getting chicken is a lot more affordable than brisket so I felt that this time around I got my money's worth. I liked how my order was packaged to go. Got a plate, napkins, food was wrapped in foil to keep it hot, side of pickles, chopped onions, and 2 barbecue sauces in small containers all in a paper bag. Got to give them a try food is very good and there are options for various budgets

OG review: I placed an order around 4 PM, they didn't have much stuff left so I didn't even get to try what I originally wanted. I ended up getting the brisket plate w/ tater tot casserole and the beans. The sides were amazing but I was so disappointed with the brisket. Most of it was fat 😩 and I was so disappointed because the part of the brisket that I did eat was so tender and delicious. IMO the food is pricey for...
