Nobody does barbecue like Texas, and we have plenty of great smokehouses and restaurants around San Antonio. Check out these amazing local options the next time you’re craving a slow-cooked Southern classic.
The Big Bib’s BBQ
The meats at Big Bib’s are smoked each day for up to 14 hours, ensuring that they’re fall-off-the-bone tender by the time they reach your plate. Before opening their brick and mortar location, the Big Bib crew operated as a catering company for nine years. In that time, they’ve developed a menu of mouth-watering dishes and honed their customer service. Their smoker turns out standards like rib tips, brisket, and pulled pork, while you can always order a loaded baked potato packed with the protein of your choice. If you’re looking for something spicy, their jalapeño sausage adds chile heat to their hardwood-smoked links. You can find Big Bib’s BBQ at 104 Lanark Drive, San Antonio, Texas 78218.
