34 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Helotes

“Rios for the win!! So delicious.“

“First time trying B Daddy’s BBQ and wow it was delicious! We definitely plan on going back!“

“This is the best place for wild game processing. I recommend Schotts to all my clients. From bacon wrapped chopped steaks to chorizo and buck sticks and sausage. It’s all top notch. I purchased the bacon wrapped jalapeño popper stuffed chicken yesterday. It is a 10 out of 10. So easy to make and it’s big enough to share. I made it for dinner last night and I’m having it for lunch today. The broccoli cheese and rice stuffed bacon wrapped chicken thighs are equally as good. Both locations are always clean and well maintained and the staff is very friendly. I’ve never had a bad experience with them. I highly recommend them. Oh, and the ribeyes…honestly the best I’ve had. Perfect marbling. And the young, sweet girl at the counter even showed me how to determine if a steak is fresh or not.“

“So i ordered online and accidentally put the wrong store i was able to call the location and tell them it was wrong and they sent over the order to the correct store 🙃 it took me a little bit to get this done but the guy who helped me was very nice and easy to talk to. He said no problem * guess it happens alot lol.“

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

“we always go here and have always been happy with our order. This time was a little disappointed in the peach cobbler. I ordered to small servings and both were filled less than half.“

“Ate there for the first time this weekend and it was so so good, they were so accommodating since we were from out of town and could not take our food to go. We will definitely be going again very soon!!!“

“I ordered a full chicken for pickup and it was ready quickly. I really appreciated that it came already cut, which felt like a nice extra touch. The chicken was very tender and moist, and overall I really liked it. I would give it 5 out of 5, but there was an excessive amount of black pepper, which I personally do not like at all, not even a little. It would be great to have an option for people who do not enjoy spicy or heavily seasoned food. Aside from that, everything was great. I will try the BBQ next time and hopefully it is not spicy.“

“Very good first time it was very clean and food was pretty good.“

“The food and service was good and the kitchen accommodated a request to grill the catfish instead of cooking it blackened. Thank you.“

“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.“

“Delicious Barbacoa! Staff is friendly and quick! Customer service is great! The homemade tamales here are the best!“

“Addy was my server and she is amazing! She is very energetic and good at her job! She gave me recommendations and the white balsamic dressing was delicious. Addy is very bubbly and actually smiles. I can't remember the last time I had such good service! I will come back for another delicous steak!“

“Great BBQ. Great service.“

“True Texas BBQ was delicious! The meat was tender, flavorful, and served hot. The wait wasn’t long at all, and the food definitely didn’t feel like fast food quality. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. Definitely a great spot for some real Texas BBQ!“

“★★★★ El Monte BBQ is an absolute gem! The food is incredibly flavorful, with perfectly grilled meats that are juicy and packed with smoky goodness. The portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh and well-prepared. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is warm and inviting—perfect for both casual meals and family gatherings. If you’re craving authentic, delicious BBQ, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!“

“Great atmosphere, good food, and friendly folks.“

“I want to make sure the owner of this establishment knows what an excellent employee they have in Ryan. He was extremely helpful, professional, and provided outstanding service. He’s truly one of a kind, and employees like him are hard to find and deserve to be valued and appreciated. Honestly, if I owned a restaurant, I’d probably try to offer him more money to come work for me! Ryan is a great asset to this business, and in my opinion, he definitely deserves a raise.“

“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 ! We will definitely be going back !“

“Amazing and affordable. plus, BEST rolls in town“

“Get the banana pudding! If you’re more of a wafer heavy banana pudding like me, it’s a dream. Perfect ratio, and so good!“

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

“The best barbacoa place in town!!!“

“The best 😍😍😍😍 tamales and barbacoa“

“Since recently indulging in Brisketeria's Quesa Birria Tacos, I have been enamored. Enthralled. Perhaps even in awe. This dish is my everything, and I yearn for it as I know that I personally cannot perfect it the way the people behind the counters of the Alamo Ranch Food Truck Brisketeria location, (who are true purveyors of fine foods), can do. The dish is so simple, yet so exquisite. So humble, yet brash. So recognizable, yet unique. Starting with components as simple as the corn tortilla, or even the beef, the Quesa Birria with a side of Consommé" doesn't miss", as the youth these days like to say. Brisketeria takes prime ingredients and masters their places in the dish, as they dance smoothly en route to tie the entire experience together. While the crunch of the tortilla and the comforting warmth of the melted cheese are the two sensations I recognize immediately, the robust flavors of the ever-so classic pepper is admittedly the first taste that hits my tongue. Many people with inexperienced palates call it "overwhelming" or "too much", but I say nay. Because soon thereafter, the savory beef that has been tenderly cooked, takes center stage. Hand-in-hand with the wild flavors and the perfectly stewed consommé, these main components eloquently give you that base that makes you think "this is not only the pinnacle of fine dining but also a meal that will top off any day." In the middle, you get a bit of the bite from the peppers, which gives you reassurance that a serious chef was behind the dish. Food feeds the soul. It is my love, it is my passion, and it is one of many reasons why I will keep coming back to Brisketeria. Well done“

“Stopped by Bill Miller BBQ and had a great experience. The food was fresh, the service was fast, and everyone was friendly. My order was accurate, and everything tasted great. It’s a reliable place for a good meal, and I’ll definitely be back.“

“Thank you Alexis (manager)! We had ordered through the drive thru last Sunday and when we got home, part of our order was wrong. We called and she was ready to help us and correct the mistake!!“

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

“Very good overall experience. The place has AC, so that’s a big plus. We loved the potato salad side. We ordered the chopped brisket sandwich with barbecue sauce and it was definitely worth it. Also had a spinach salad which was great with fresh ingredients and a good size“

“Good food consistently! And good customer service.“

“Love the vibe here everyone’s happy“

“As a BBQ restaurant that is well know for their brisket, chicken, sausage, etc.. How are you not going to have brisket or chicken??? I went in to order dinner and was told I had to wait one hour for brisket, also had to wait 30 mins for chicken!!!!! It was not even busy, I went in, ordered and sat down rather quickly, which was good, but just wasnt happy not being able to eat what I wanted!!! Before anyone asked, I didnt want to keep driving over S.A. looking for BBQ.“

“The people working there are doing a good job however the orders are bagged and to many times something we ordered is not there. It's difficult to take out your order to make sure your order is complete. If something is missing it's to far to go back although the management does say their sorry and will replace the missing item. It seems they should show you that your order is complete. It may take a minute to make sure your order is complete.“
