“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“

“The Purple Pig was recommended to me, and I recommend this outstanding BBQ eatery enthusiastically. The best pulled pork BBQ I've eaten has been in Tennessee. Nothing to compare. We'd pick up frozen pulled pork in Tennessee and bring it back to Texas as a treat. Nothing to compare until our first visit to The Purple Pig in June. Meets and exceeds our high standards to perfection. Don't miss this delightful experience. There are many things that makes the pulled pork extraordinary. Quality. Pecan smoked, not common to Texas. Wonderful sides. Add to the excellence of the food is the service and the quaint, charming setting. Five stars.“

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

“Great food, amazing staff and awesome music Jennifer Tomme-Watler Rubenv Rubenv Jimmy Spacek 🎸🎙️🎸🎙️“

“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!“

“Great service....lots of things to chose from. Our server Kristina was very knowledgeable and friendly. She as sweet and explained the menu so we knew what everything was.“

“Was our first time there for my brother and I. BarBQ was very good, not too crowded. We got up twice to ask for more tea and barbecue sauce. Didn’t really have any person waiting on us. Other than that we would highly recommend this place and come back.“

“We are currently living overseas and came home for business. After q pick google search we found true BBQ. Who knew HEB had a BBQ spot. BBQ was great but what really got us was potato salad. That's the best I've ever had.as a Texan this place is a must. Kim waited on us and she was fabulous. She was courteous and helpful.“

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

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

“From the moment I walked in, Ashley was very helpful in letting me know what items were available. She was kind and patient with the large group we had. Even after, Elizabeth helped the guest with bringing meals to the table, making sure everyone had what they needed, and extended such stellar customer service. It was a great experience.“

“Best place for lunch or dinner!!! Ronnie, Jedi and the crew really know how to cook and have excellent customer service skills!!!“

“I recently had a seminar at this location. This is a new location that I tried out in this area. What a big surprise! I found the place to be very appealing. The food was absolutely delicious, especially their beans! A big shout out to Kaitlyn for helping me organize this event. A great big, thank you to Jake Melvin and Lindsey for providing the best service ever to our customers! Definitely a place I would like to come back and visit!“

“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“

“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.“

“we enjoyed ourselves very much“

“best brisket EVER!!!! AWESOME NICE PEOPLE GREAT SERVICE BEST OF ALL THE FOOD 😋“

“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.“

“Great place and great people“

“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. 👍👍👍👍“

“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!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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 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!!“

“Oh my goodness! We had bbq, ribs and brisket along with Mac and cheese, collards, fries and pinto beans. Everything was delicious and we even got takeout out for the next nights supper (we are visiting from South Carolina). The bbq sauce is amazing! Highly recommend if you want some great food!!“

“We picked up some food to go tonight, our first visit.. very impressed. Everything was so good! Thank you! ♥️“

“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😋“

“Didn't know what was in there its cause I had 30min wait time at the dmv so took my 2 little ones and it was super good !!!!!!!

Musubi & turperia were off the hook !!!

Me from the southside we need a location out there ASAP

thanks !!!!“

“OK OK THIS PLACE IS AWESOME AND WE LIVE RIGHT BEHIND IT. BUT I MUST SAY EASY ON THE ALCOHOL DRINKS... IT'S SO STRONG DOESN'T EVEN TASTE LIKE IT'S MIXED...OTHER THEN THAT GREAT SERVICE AND GREAT HOSPITALITY THE NACHOS ARE SO SO GOOD 3 PEOPLE CAN SHARE A PLATE....YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME GOD BLESS YOU ALL !!!!!!!!“

“The only problem we encountered was that the steak had been prepared to well done; however, our server promptly informed the kitchen staff, and they subsequently re-prepared the dish correctly to a medium doneness. The brisket queso dip turned out to be surprisingly delicious. My chicken fried steak was quite flavorful, and the accompanying gravy had a perfectly thick consistency.“

“outdoor area for gathering.“

“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.“

“Excellent food; great packaging; great service; and reasonable prices. Their large, sweet tea is the best! We love the extra lean beef brisket. My son was a little disappointed that the Wild Bill sandwich was not particularly special.“

“Muy amables sobre todo la cajera hablaba español Y rapido el servicio“

“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“

“great service order was ready when i arrived“

“I had the plate with 3 chicken tenders, fries and a large iced tea for 8.95 plus tax. I opted to substitute their green beans for the fries, though.
The chicken was good. Their green beans are the best side they have, imo.
The front staff were friendly and got our orders right. The iced tea was great.
The floor in the ladies restroom had just been mopped and looked clean, however the toilet needed a good brushing for sure.“

“Had to be “that” guy but my steak came out well done and just could not be enjoyed. Not only did they take it back and work to bring a perfect steak but went above and beyond to ensure my family had a great experience. Food while we waited, an absurd amount of desserts at the end, a sincere apology for the oversight on the steak. Food was great, service was excellent.“

“very good service nice place to go eat“

“I absolutely love the food here! A great variety and a rotating menu posted daily! I feel lucky to live nearby this gem!“

“Vary delicious chicken strips 🧡🤎🎀“

“Speedy service and friendly service!
There were about 10 cars in front of me in the drive thru line but within 14 minutes I was in and out of the parking lot.
My kids love the buckaroo chicken tender meal, very fair in size it almost seems to be the size of a regular combo #4. Only difference that I noticed is a kids drink versus a regular sized cup.
Bonus points for the brownie with nut dessert included 🙂 $6.30 for this meal“

“This location near the base in Universal City TX is excellent. There's a green arrow turn for the left turn at Aviation Blvd with parking lot access by the drive thru. I had a large sweet tea and chopped beef sandwich for less than $5. AWESOME. TY❣“

“I just wanna warn Bill Miller's; If yall force me to pull into a parking space because you couldn't get my number 1 ready in time and some idiot crashes into me I'm going to sue this location to the fullest. This is bad business and shouldn't be allowed.“

“So romantic. Just like Italy. Great place for a 1st date! You will impress that lovely lady with your choice of various sides such as coalSlaw, Spanish Rice (perfect for a Chicana), beans, and lots of American Pies 🥧 ! And brownies Chunks to choose from! The old country songs playing in the background will add to the romance and mood. That ambience in the air complimentary to the soft lighting that sets the mood for a first kiss! They also have great and tasty fried chicken and pico along with onions you can munch down all night if you don’t like your date so much. Highly Recommend“

“Very impressed with this Bill Miller BBQ location! Place was slammed but everyone was performing well and diligently! Chloe at the register was composed and collected! Travis, the manager, brought our food out to us and held the receipt with pencil lines through each item indicating that he personally made sure we got everything we paid for! On the way back in, Travis took a quick second to straighten out the curbside signs and unfurled the American flag that had wrapped itself around its pole! Food was hot, fresh, and delicious! GREAT JOB, GUYS & GALS! This is definitely our new location!🇺🇸😎🇺🇸🤘🏻“
