South BBQ & Kitchen

This place has been on my radar for a while so when we were nearby, I had to finally try it. It's cold and rainy and they only have patio seating so we took our order to go. The gentleman running the window was really nice. Here's what we got and what I thought: - brisket: so good, peppery and tender - pulled pork: this was okay- tater tot casserole: mildly addictive and comforting - borracho beans: fabulous, so flavorful - creamy elotes: SO good This spot is such an underrated place to get good BBQ without the crowds.

On a mission to try the best BBQ in San Antonio, my next stop was South BBQ & Kitchen. Place wasn't anything special to look at, although it's across the street from a golf course. Don't let the exterior mislead, this place is phenomenal. There were a few tables occupied by the time we arrived. Our order was taken at the front window and we grabbed an open picnic table to await our food. Wasn't much of a wait as our food was delivered quickly. I chose their BBQ plate with brisket, and added a sausage to pair with it. For my two sides, I opted for their borracho beans and potato salad. My mom ordered the same as me but her sides were the cole slaw and creamed elote. The brisket was great. It had good flavor to it and was tender. The sausage was just as good. Of the two sides, I preferred the beans to the potato salad but both were great. The cilantro was a nice touch on top of the beans. The plate also come with onions, pickles, bbq sauce and a choice of bread or tortillas. Although the meats were very flavorful so bbq sauce wasn't really needed. I was also able to try the slaw and elote. Slaw was crisp and had a nice bite to it from the vinegar. The elote was fantastic. Only drawback was I did not get to try the ribs. I was told that they are only available on the weekends. I will definitely attempt to make it back as soon as possible. Just wish I was living on the south side as it seems to be where all the killer BBQ joints are at.

Solid BBQ, food 4-4.5, cool little place - outdoor seating with and without fans where you can sit and enjoy the breeze blowing in the trees and the iglesia next door; pretty interesting sides one of our kiddos was sad about the lack of mac BUT we tasted the mustard potato salad (super tart to wake up those tastebuds), rice (so gooood), tater tot casserole (yes please), borracho beans (delicious) and one child got the green bean tomato fancy salad which disappeared too quickly for me to get a bite! The BBQ was decent, flavorful - ribs only on wknds so missed out on those, brisket taco was yummy, the chicken was tender and well-seasoned, the sausage was decent. Bathrooms are in the bldg and you need to ask just FYI.What made this place a 5 for us was the service - super friendly, super helpful. We had some car troubles and they let us sit on the patio while we waited for a tow and helped us stay hydrated. Solid option.

Service was a bit rude. The guy was impatient as my party and I ordered. Sorry, dude. We're from Austin. The location was really cool and felt exclusive maybe because of the windy unfamiliar road. You just didn't know where you were going to end up. We went around 1 PM on a weekday and my group was the only one there with the exception of one customer who picked up his order to go. BBQ: Their brisket wasn't as moist as I hoped it'd be. The sides weren't anything to Yelp about either. Boracho and Jalapeño sausage were decent though.

Arrived for a beautiful Friday afternoon lunch and was totally impressed. The parking lot was wonky full. You know, where the lot could take 3x as many vehicles but all the morons showed up at the same time and now you can't fit. No worries, plenty of parking at the empty church next door so I just prayed I wouldn't get towed and it worked.Seemed like there were two very large work groups that were already eating. They must have been doing an office teambuilder: who can park the stupidest. Someone was winning.There was a steady flow of other folks, but the staff were killing it. In no time, I grabbed my food and was gorging my face. Oh so wow, this was good. Honorable Mention on Texas Monthly! Heck, I really have been to all 50 and this could have displaced about a dozen of them. Must have been a bad day when an editor showed up.I went as non-standard BBQ as I could go. Heck, I could have been in a TexMex bbq. I stared off with the pork taco. That pulled pork with the tomatillo sauce was fantastic. Then I went with the brisket taco. I'm still in a low moan thinking about that one. MMmmmmm that was good. A little saliva is not forming on mouth.Can't go tacos without the appropriate sides. That Spanish/Mexican rice was nice, fluffy and savory. THE best rice I've had at ANY restaurant. If they served a larger portion with chopped brisket in it, I think I would fall in love. The baraccho beans were nearly as good. I'm serious! Finally, out of a lark (not because it went with the style of the meal) - I had to try out the potato casserole and I was not disappointed. Just as good. This place nailed the meats AND the sides. Like I said, someone was bribed to let some of the other Texas Top-50 in and deprive this place.

Started our Father's Day off at South BBQ & Kitchen and I'd say it was a success! We enjoyed a 1/2 pound of brisket and pork with a couple tortillas. The service was kind of slow for a BBQ joint. We waited ~20 minutes for our food and it was pretty empty when we arrived, just one other group. The brisket was my favorite of the two, but both were tender and flavored well. We were unfortunately not able to try the tator tot casserole this visit as they were sold out, so next time we will have to order online in advance so that we can grab a taste before they sell out.

This bbq is pretty good. I got the tacos and was surprised when the tortilla and filling was very cold- I am thinking that's what they were going with. I was just very surprised to bite into a cold taco. The beans were ABSOLUTELY delicious, and that's my reasoning for the 4 stars. The food was decent, and customer service was very quick and friendly. I loved the outdoor seating, as the porch area was very clean and the fans were all in working condition.

Great food, great experience, we are from New Jersey this is definitely better than the mainstream franchises that we went to last time. It is definitely 10 out of 10.

Some of the best brisket I've ever had. Really paired well with the homemade tortillas. The sides are great too. Really recommend the tater tot casserole. Service was very fast and the location has a very comfortable outdoor area.

My brother, dad and I stopped in this afternoon for late lunch, it was our first time. We loved it! We sampled brisket, ribs, pulled pork, sausage, cream corn and mustard potato salad. The meat fell off the rib, the brisket was juicy and the bark was delicious! The sausage is spicy but great tasting. The pulled pork was flavorful as well. We will definitely come back, it is outdoor seating only and there isn't a public restroom so be prepared. It is BYOB and they do have T.V's outside to catch a game.
