Ballhoggs BBQ

We were attending a concert at AT&T center and came across this place by a venue employee who suggested it. AT&T center was not open yet and we needed to eat somewhere within walking distance. With no options nearby, this place literally was right next to the parking lot. First impression walking in ... super divey. I have nothing against dives, usually the best food is found at dives. Menu was simple and our server was friendly and sweet. We both ordered 2 meat plates with one side. $ 16 for a comboOur orders took quite awhile for them to come out, and when we finally received them, they looked so sad. Portions were very small. The brisket was only a few slices and did not have a BBQ flavor, it was more like it had been baked. The pork was chopped up into tiny pieces and slathered in sauce, portion was ridiculously small. It came with 2 slices of bread which I did not care to eat or fill up on. The side of green beans were too salty. We left hungry and disappointed. Long wait for food, overpriced small portions, and food quality was not good. The only thing that stood out was the friendly service. Sadly, we won't be back.

The food is wonderful and service is OUTSTANDING. I highly recommend you don't walk but run for some good food. I can talk for days about how good this food is oh myyy

Customer service was slow , only came back to fill my drink one time , the food was horrible I ordered the brisket sandwich and received nothing but fat between two pieces of bread . The lighting was dark and the bbq bottles were sticky as if they don't clean , definitely won't be coming back,

Cons- Meat was dry and lacked flavor. Plates only come with one side instead of two, you have to pay $3 extra for a second one. The value for the price missed the mark. They don't regularly have desserts available, it's hit or miss. Pros- The sauce, potato salad, and baked beans were like I like them, sweet. The beans also had ground beef in them which is how I grew up eating them. The customer service was great! Bottom line - It's too many great BBQ spots in San Antonio to settle for dry and tasteless meat. They have to work on their product.

First time here.Brisket is well cooked decent flavor, sausage is ok, a bit dry. Potato salad is really good, bake beans kind of sweet flavor. I can say the potato salad is the champion here.Overall is a decent place to get BBQ, let see what's next next time I'll visit San Antonio!!!

Delicious food, amazing customer service! Definitely need to stop by and get you some good grub!

Good barbecue! I was craving bbq while wandering the east side one day and found this gem. I had the rib plate and my spouse had the brisket sandwich. Both were delicious and filling. Will definitely come back.

I admit I am very picky about y QUE. I decided to give Ballhoggs a try after seeing the owner on the local news. First problem, GPS could not locate it. 2nd problem, the inside is dusty. Lots of stuff in the front of house that could use a good dusting and straightening up. But, the food was the reason I drove across town and it was good. I took my 2 meat plate to go so I could enjoy while binging a program. The brisket was falling apart tender and moist or just the way I like it, crusty with a little fat. Ribs were tender. The baked beans were just a little sweet and the potato salad was seasoned just right. I would post a photo but I ate first.All in all a good value and taste for my dollar.

After spending a good chunk of change, completely lost my appetite!! There is something in my Mac that shouldn't be!!! Eaters beware!!!!

I feel like the place loves fire.Everything that was given to me was 1:Chicken sandwich, 2:sausage sandwich, 3:potato salad side, 4:Mac N' Cheese side.The reason why I said that this place loves fire is because they don't know how to lower the heat on the stove. Everything they cook is either burnt or dry. I had to smother the chicken sandwich in BBQ sauce in order to not choke on the dry meat. Plus the Mac N' Cheese was really overcooked to the point where the noodles were soggy.Everything else that they prepare without cooking is pretty good. I got the potato salad side and it had good seasoning and flavor. But this was only a fraction of events, that's why I chose a one star for this place.And for the employees that work here, they are kind and friendly. They came by to the table to ask us if we needed anything frequently so the main problem was food.
