50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near China Grove

“Almost everything was perfect, except by the time I arrived there 06:15pm, they were out of Dino rib and limited pulled pork. The female waitress was SUPER friendly and the rest of the staff too. It is a little far away from my house, but there is a potential to return in the future“

“There's a lot of BBQ in Texas to choose from. I personally can't find better food and atmosphere than Reese Bros. Do yourself a huge favor and try it. The food is as good as I've ever had but their customer service absolutely sets them apart from everyone else!“

“Amazing food. So glad we tried it.“

“I wish I could give this place 10 STARS!! We found this smokehouse on Google after reading an article mentioning Michelin Guide and top 50 in Texas. We made the trip, arrived just after open at 11am and there was already a line - impressive! The food was OUTSTANDING! Come prepared to want to try everything on the menu and give them all of your hard earned dollars. We spent $140 for two people because we're from Michigan and there's nothin' like this at home, but it was worth every.single.penny! We sat outside at the adorable little picnic tables, the brisket and Texas Rib was our favorite and the housemade bbq sauce went on everything we ate! Everything was amazing!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The good: Brisket and ribs were very tender potatoe salad was good green beans were good The Bad: No inside seating, both brisket and ribs were a little dry and could of used a little more seasoning. food might of been kept warm for a bit, the reason maybe why it was a little dry.“

“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.“

“The ribs where the best I’ve had in a long time. I also had rice, beans and Mac and cheese with jalapeño no question it was a hit. I will definitely go back again.“

“Always passed this spot we stopped to try and me and husband loved it will definitely be our new spot for bbq“

“We found Pepe’s on our way through San Antonio. What a find! Amazing barbacoa and tamales and the nicest service. My kids are already asking when we will return.“

“Absolutely everything is so good!!! Highly suggest you get you some!! 😋“

“At the corner of Hwy 181 and SE 1604 in Floresville TX sits a little shack looking like something out of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, that boasts having The Best Barbacoa in The World. We pass it twice a day and have often laughed about it. Shame on me for violating my own premise that the best food comes from the most unassuming dive joints. We finally tried it and Holy Smokin' beef cheeks, Batman. The service is good and the people friendly. The barbacoa is super tender, flavorful and moist, without being greasy. It comes with whole avocados, pico de gallo, your choice of flour or corn tortillas. If you order flour you're doing it wrong. You can optionally get it with the requisite beverage, Big Red. If you order any other drink, you lose your Texican card. It doesn't matter if you hate Big Red as I do. Go Big Red or go home. It has all the ambience of being broken down in your car on the side of a busy highway intersection, which of course is exactly the ambience it should have. They also have tamales and menudo, but online reviews suggest Larry should stick to what he does best--The World's Best Barbacoa--and leave it at that. oh...they only take cash, so leave your credit cards at home, and mindya bizness about if he reports all of it to Uncle Sam. 5 out of 5 stars 🌟“

“well there was no highlight. the food was all leftovers and it was cold. not impressed at all.“

“The food was amazing. In my opinion it’s the best Korean bbq in San Antonio. Our waitress was very nice and kept coming back to check on us. The owner came to our table and was very nice and helpful. The pickled radishes, kimchi and the kimchi pickles sides are my favorite. (We even bought a jar of kimchi to take with us). The beef bulgogi which we got spicy and the galbi were perfect. The flavor was 100% and was cooked to perfection. 10/10 would definitely recommend.“

“First time here today & definitely will be going again it’s a small place but they made room for me & my family to sit down & enjoy the food truly amazing people !!! If your looking for great bbq this is the place god bless y’all“

“The tamales are SO GOOD ugh I haven't had good tamales in years. These knock the store bought and the in laws' tamales out the park. They're nice and moist, not dry at all. The seasoning for the meat is great and it's a perfect ratio of masa and meat. They aren't ginormous but they aren't flat and tiny (I've had some paper thin ones before). I think they're a decent size, especially for the flavor and value ($30 for 2 dozen). Gotta try their barbacoa next time!“

“Greeted by staff upon entering. Food was really good, burger patty was flavorful & fried pickles were amazing.😋👌🏻 Will definitely be coming back.“

“Great food great service will be back“

“I was waiting for my (delicious fatty brisket) to-go order when a woman came in to pick up what appeared to be a pre-order. The cook politely explained that they had run out of one of the meats and, because they were unable to reach her beforehand, had substituted it with the closest available option in an effort to fulfill her order.

Despite the staff’s attempt to accommodate her, she became upset and insisted she had been told the item would be available. She demanded to speak with a manager.

Manager Liz responded immediately. She apologized sincerely, remained calm and professional, and made every effort to accommodate the customer’s concerns. Unfortunately, despite Liz’s patience and repeated attempts to resolve the situation, the customer continued to raise her voice, became verbally abusive, and caused a scene during the dinner rush while families with children and other guests were dining.

I was genuinely impressed by how Liz handled such a difficult situation. She remained composed, respectful, and focused on de-escalating the conflict even as the customer continued to berate her. It was evident that Liz was doing everything she reasonably could to resolve the issue.

As a customer waiting nearby, I found the incident stressful to witness. Listening to someone repeatedly yell at and disrespect an employee over a barbecue order was upsetting. Eventually, I politely asked the customer to stop verbally abusing the manager and making a scene because it was affecting everyone in the restaurant.

Please recognize Liz for her professionalism, patience, and grace under pressure. Employees in customer service often endure difficult situations that are far beyond their control, and Liz represented your business exceptionally well. She deserves recognition for the way she handled an incredibly challenging interaction.“

“Good portions. Brisket was simple and tasty. All you taste is beefy scrumptiousness. A full sausage link that has some spice to it and yummy. Mustard potato salad just like grandma used to make. 👍👍👍👍“

“Excellent Barbacoa! Great food highly recommended...“

“We came in from out of town. Our family recommended us to go eat there! It was our first time eating Korean BBQ! We loved it!!!! Our children liked the shrimp tempura, shrimp friend rice and ramen. Make sure you order just the regular broth with the ramen 🍜 if it’s for your kids. If not it’s a bit spicy if you don’t. It’s very temp hot too. Ethan are server was pleasant and attentive. Great for birthdays too! I love how they sing to you and play the happy birthday song with glow sicks! Love of delicious sides come with the meal. We really enjoyed ourselves! Big family size portions! It’s really cool how you get to cook your meats! Definitely will be coming back! Very family friendly! God Bless!“

“Great place. Wonderful people“

The ambiance is cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual meal or a gathering with friends. Now, let's talk about the food – it's simply divine! The barbacoa is mouthwateringly delicious, tender, and full of flavor. The service is impeccable, with attentive staff who go above and beyond to ensure a delightful dining experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Rios Barbacoa Southtown is a must-visit destination. Highly recommended!“

“Vacationing and saw this place on Google near where we were staying, had my heart set to get some the next morning. Wasn't hard to navigate there and back. Everything pictured plus a 2 liter of Big Red was $38 something, what a freaking steal! Where we're from this easily could have costed me $50-$60. Barbacoa was all meat, hardly any grease, tasted phenomenal. Came with corn tortillas which had a good toast and taste. The tamales were pork and tasted amazing (no ketchup needed). Will definitely be going back when we're back in town! Staff was friendly and kind. It's a place you grab and go, no sitting which is fine by us.“

“Got there late on a Sunday night, very friendly & the food was FABULOUS!!! I highly recommend!!! Sad, that we are from Nebraska & won't get to come back here, but I definitely would if I could😋“

“Texas Pride Barbeque made our company luncheon absolutely phenomenal! I ordered catering for 45 people, and everything was perfect from start to finish. There was more than enough food, and the portions were large and satisfying. They provided everything needed to serve lunch, which made the process so easy. The flavor of the food was incredible, and even with delivery, everything arrived fresh and hot! Our luncheon was a huge success, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend Texas Pride Barbeque for any event, they truly go above and beyond. Thank you! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“The Moco Loco! 🤤 This place is so good we ordered for lunch…and then for dinner. Gravy and extra Pattie’s, here at home added an extra over medium egg. We finished it off standing in the kitchen 😆. I aim to make this a weekly occurrence!!“

“I got the 3 meat and 2 side order that came out to a little over 20 dollars. I'm so used to the serving sizes other barbecue places give for that amount, that I was astonished at the amount of sausage and brisket I was given. Meat and vegetables were cooked to perfection and I can't recommend them enough.“

“First time trying Jamaican food 10/10 I got the jerk mac&cheese along with a soup both were very delicious packed with flavor the person who took my order was very nice as well amazing customer service will definitely be coming back again“

“Bill Miller's. You've really gone downhill. This was a pathetic looking sandwich compared to your advertised picture. Not only more expensive with smaller sizes is bad enough. Now the quality? Both looked like this. The chicken wasn't much better.“

“***OWNER*** please invest in those blower machines at the doors and drive through window to prevent flies from getting inside the restaurant. As I’m waiting for my to go order I see flies on the food. The staff can’t help it and they always are doing a great job cause I come here often. 5 stars for the staff!“

“I want to give a review to Ruby she has been amazing we come to bill millers all the time for breakfast and we have come to this one 2 days in a row and Ruby both days has been amazing running the to go area and the dinning room by herself she has kept her patients with no frustration of doing it by herself. I would have left a review yesterday but I honestly don’t ever do google reviews but she deserves one. Great job Ruby!!!“
