28 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Helotes

“Look non place further if you want excellent BBQ in San Antonio/Helotes area. This place is quick, friendly, and the best tasting bbq sauce and bbq in SA and top 3 in Texas. You can’t go wrong on ordering and the setting is perfect as well. Open on Sundays. Make the drive to visit then and the cute historic town right outside.“

“What a great shop on the northwest side of San Antonio! They have a great selection of everything! Friendly employees and very reasonable prices!“

“Rios for the win!! So delicious.“

“Seriously some of the best selections we have had in a long time. The meat was so tender, it melted in your mouth. We got the Family box and would highly recommend any of the cuts. We will not be shopping anywhere else.“

“Been a few years since my last visit as ive traveled a lot of for work outside the Metropolitan area. Got there just before the lunch rush.
Ordered 2 PC fried chicken and a chopped beef sandwich and a Dr pepper.
It didn't take long to get. The chicken wasn't piping hot, but was crispy and moist. They done away with the Louisiana hot sauce bottles for in store dining. You now must request hot sauce packets.
The chopped beef sandwich wasn't horrible, but they've definitely reduced the amount they put on the sandwich. Could be they were slammed in the kitchen due to the lunch hour.
The place was still clean as I've come to expect.“

“I really like when the food doesn’t need bbq sauce!“

“Found this place while visiting San Antonio and decided to give it a try. The reviews were right: this place if fantastic! The loaded baked potato with brisket was huge! Two people could easily share this! And while sometimes restaurants will serve up large portions to make up for quality, that’s not the case here. The brisket was excellent and the potato was cooked to perfection. The ribs were perfectly done as well. Very flavorful and juicy. We also had the Mac Daddy sandwich. Another excellent choice. Brisket and mac and cheese on a grilled cheese. So tasty! The food and service were both excellent! You won’t be disappointed!“

“luv luv all the BBQ and all the sides r so Delicious🤗😜🙋‍♀️“

“I definitely recommend El Monte BBQ for your next baby shower, event or family gathering. They were extremely friendly, on time. Everyone was asking where the Brisket was from and how tasty and delicious everything was. They definitely did not disappoint and will recommend to anyone looking for good brisket and friendly customer service.“

“Just got a Smokey Mo's opened in the area so they needed a try. Really liked the brisket and the chicken. The beans were fabulous. My bride loved the chopped sandwich.

“Bread loaf was delicious, macaroni and cheese was to die for just wasn’t a fan of the brisket.“

“My wife and I went today for lunch, she had the Chicken fried chicken and I had a burger with mushrooms and sautéed onions. Also a cactus blossom for appetizer. By far some of the best food we have had in a while. Complements to the chef and team. Devon was our waiter and he was great! We will be asking for him for now on when we go back. Also if you haven’t tried the Raspberry tea, you’re missing out lol. Just wanted to share cause great service is hard to find these days and again great job!“

“There isn't just one thing about this place that brings us back.... it's the consistency of its parts! The bartenders are all friendly and knowledgeable, and honest. The drinks are better than most places. The atmosphere is relaxed and warm. It's what you would want to be doing even if it didn't exist, so having it here, in real life, makes all the more special! My favorite is TommieGirl! She rocks!“

“Great BBQ. Great service.“

“Amazing food and customer service!!! Everyone was so welcoming, will definitely be returning.“

“It was great but our server told us that our meal came with two sides each then we noticed we had to pay for 3 out of the 4 sides. Got some story that made no sense.“

“We love the brisket and turkey!!
One of our items was left out from our order,
but Austin at the Leon Springs location was so gracious and professional. He replaced our item and made it right! That is great customer service. We will definitely come back.
Great job Austin! Thank you!“

“The meals were good but they forgot to give me my pecan pie and it was paid for 😞.“

“The inviting atmosphere perfectly complements the exceptional dining experience. Each cut of steak is cooked to perfection, showcasing the chef's expertise. The sides are equally impressive, bursting with fresh flavors that enhance every bite. From the moment we're seated until the last bite, the service is attentive and gracious. This steakhouse consistently delivers a memorable meal, making it our favorite place to celebrate after church.“

“The food is really good! It never fails to satisfy me I can't say I have a favorite everything is equally delicious. But what I will say is that the atmosphere can be a bit overwhelming with people and the noise the service is pretty average you get what you ask for but I do wish that they provide more attention to the customers. Overall review is good ?“

“We had the chopped brisket sandwiches the two sandwiches with fries and a drink for only $7 and change is good value. The food is inexpensive and overall doesn't taste bad. I did get the two-piece fried chicken and I will say that while the chicken was crispy, it had very little flavor and was somewhat Bland I probably won't get it again“

“Great food and great service“

“There BBQ is so so, but the fried chicken and sweet tea are a must“

“the food is very good and the service was great and the place was clean“
