“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Texas Roadhouse Review 🥩🍖🍠🥦 If you’re craving a hearty, flavorful meal, Texas Roadhouse never disappoints! The steak was grilled to perfection—juicy, tender, and seasoned just right. The BBQ ribs were fall-off-the-bone delicious with that smoky, sweet glaze that keeps you wanting more. 🍖🔥 The baked sweet potato with butter and cinnamon was pure comfort food 🍠🤤, and the steamed veggies added a nice fresh balance 🥦🥕. Service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and lively—perfect for a casual dinner or a celebration. 🍹🎉“

“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.“

“Richard was an amazing & helpful bartender. A joyful man who was very informative about The True Texas Bbq menu. It was our first experience here, and it definitely won’t be our last. The bbq was authentic and the drinks were delicious. I now truly agree, no other store does more, like my H-E-B.“

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

“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!!!“

“It was my first time. Really enjoyed the menu selections! It was very good! I will return!❤“

“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.“

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

“The best loaded Baked potato“

“Great food and staff was very helpful. The food was prepared well especially for it being a quicker dining experience. They helped is when we had questions and were professional and patient in their training (we had a new hire taking our order). I had their food a few times through catering events but this was the first time in person. We will definitely be back!“

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

“This BBQ joint is the real deal! The pot master is doing his thang! The staff is amazing! They are welcoming, friendly and helpful. The brisket was so tender and perfectly seasoned. The ribs were on point. Was my first time having oxtails and they were delicious. The baked beans were so flavorful, potato salad was so fresh and the BBQ sauce is house made and PERFECT & ADDICTING! I will be coming back and recommend it!!!“

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

“Always take your receipt , yesterday me and my hubby went there for lunch , we paid , I did a custom tip and didn’t take a receipt , well now today when checking my bank account my waitress took the liberty to tip herself an extra $15 but of course since I didn’t take the receipt I can’t dispute it , so if you’re gonna eat there always take your receipt but overall the food is good“

“★★★★ 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!“

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

“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!“

“My brother travels nearly an hour just to get barbacoa and tamales from here. My cousin travels 30 mins. My best friend nearly 30 mins. My mom passes at least 3 other places to take the 20 min drive. Everyone LOVES this place. Always the same good food. You will NOT be disappointed.“

“We are from Mississippi and had to go to San Antonio for work. We asked around for a good place to eat and this place was mentioned! We were so excited! It was AMAZING! The customer service was Amazing as well. Definitely recommend this place! You HAVE to have the Banana Pudding!!! Thanks y’all!“

“Atmosphere was great, went during lunch so it was super calm. BBQ was good, like 7 out of ten. Brisket could use more smoke, jalapeño sausage was great and pulled pork had good flavor. Ribs were a little dry but good flavor. Potato salad was good and Mac and cheese was really good. Would recommend, and it looks like it could be a fun evening spot with live music.“

“Had an amazing experience at True BBQ. The food was absolutely better than expected—everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.

What really made the visit stand out was the service. Elizabeth, Melissa, and Rogelio were all incredible—super friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from start to finish.

You can tell they care about both the food and the customer experience. Definitely coming back again soon. Highly recommend!“

“the brisket melt is the best I've ever had!!! Definitely recommend 👌“

“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!“

“The food was excellent, prepared & served by a most Gracious owner with kindness, humor, and expertise. Original coleslaw recipe was divine, none like I’ve ever had before. The personal attention was appreciated and the unexpected entertainment was Priceless!!! Next time I visit San Antonio I will definitely visit again. Thanks JT, TJ, I’m sorry, I can’t remember exactly what it was 😞 but thank you for such a wonderful experience.“

“Great BBQ ! We will definitely be going back !“

“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!“

“We love this place! To be able to have fresh food cooked at your table! Amazing! The hot pot and bbq grill are awesome. Well ventilated with a vent above grill. So many choices of broths for hot pot, vegetables, Meats and Seafood! Well worth your money! Can’t wait to go back!❤️“

“Great place and great people“
