The picture is of half of the sandwich because I couldn’t wait to take a bite. Chopped brisket grilled cheese was great.

Anyone that doesn’t give this spot a five star review is bonkers. Best customer service! Owner was such a pleasure to speak with. Food was absolutely amazing and reasonably priced. I will definitely be back.

I got the chicken sandwich and don’t even think I chewed my food. Inhaled it- it was so dam good.

I will say the parking lot is small. If you get there at a busy hour you’ll have to park on the side street by some houses. I went around 1:30 and even though the lot was filled due to it being next to a bar there was parking relatively close and absolutely no one in the separate dining area behind the truck with a whole bar set up. Absolutely peaceful.

I’ve been a pescatarian for over 15 years. This is the only time I break my diet, to have these AMAZING RIBS! One more thing, I was born & raised in Texas and have traveled all over the world. I’ve had a lot of BBQ, this is the best I’ve EVER had. It’s worth the price & time??????

Went at 8:45 on a Friday night, and everything was closed. Sign our front clearly states serving until 11pm. Was hard finding something else worthwhile in area.

Also, facility did not look very inviting as is. No seating available and sits in the middle of a dusty gravel parking lot.

Straight out the gate this place does not offer meat by the pound or slice brisket, but they do have delicious menu items like the brisket grill cheese sandwich which was packed with meat and two kinds of cheese. Also the Mexican corn was awesome and the owner is a super cool guy he hooked me up with some chicken which was nicely smoked and seasoned perfectly I used it on a premade salad I had at home. Definitely give this place a try especially if you want to support small American businesses.

This is a nice spot! They have a few different food trucks(we tried 3 of them, but Hot Box BBQ is the best. They have great customer service, and the food is off the chain! You get a good-sized portion. The rib tacos are yummy. The brisket grilled cheese is delicious! The pic of the chicken and waffles came from Pete's Hot Chicken(they are also at this same location).

Just swung by San Antonio and stumbled upon this gem! Let me tell you, the food here is absolutely mouthwatering and the staff are super friendly. Those fajitas? Oh my god, they were incredible! Easily the best meal I had during my time in town. Big thanks to the team here! Keep up the great work!

Fantastic food, exceptional service and owned by a military veteran. Couldn’t recommend the brisket tacos or jalapeño poppers more, definitely worth the stop.

I can't believe I paid $20 for a sandwich. It was alright, but would be good at half the price.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to roll up to the picnic area.

Meat not hot and not a big selection for price

Had never heard of this place but decided to stop by with the family after walking the corn maze at Trader Village and I have to say we were not disappointed! Everything was great! My wife had the brisket grill cheese which is honestly enough for two to split and I had the sliced brisket sandwich. The bark they achieve on their brisket is amazing! TRY THE BANANA PUDDING! We WILL be coming back again!
