San Antonio next week , what should I do?

Near Six Flags you are in luck. Freetail is near by and a must stop while in San Antonio. Also near by is Spec's, Gabriels & Whole Foods in the Vineyard.

 

Do what Grendle said. No other responses necessary. Thread closed

 

Rudy's BBQ in Leon Springs is close to you.

 

Are you driving from Dallas to San Antonio? If so swing by Lockhart on your way. If not I can't help much. San Antonio isn't really known for bbq.... Unless you consider Rudy's or bill miller bbq

 

Granary at the Pearl. Its pretty good BBQ & they brew their own beer

 

From what I've heard lunch is the only good time to go there because their dinner menu changes to "high-end" bbq

 

Then definitely take a quick detour to Lockhart.

 

Never been for dinner, but it is a bit pricey for BBQ to begin with.

 

Definitely check out the Granary during lunch hours. A bit pricey, but worth it. Rudy's is pretty good to, but it's a chain.

Also, keep an eye out for the Karbach tap takeovers that will be taking place next week. I know the Flying Saucer is doing theirs on Tuesday and Big Hops Growler Station on Wednesday. Not sure about other venues. It'll be a great opportunity to try a bunch of beers from a very good Houston brewery that is brand new to our market.

 

Two Brothers BBQ on West Ave is really good. The cherry glazed baby backs are awesome.

Please see my avatar for the only real reason to come to SA.

 

Vouching for all this man says... Two Brothers BBQ is the best you'll find here. If you can stop in Austin on the way in look up Franklin BBQ (http://franklinbarbecue.com/). I don't think I've ever had better BBQ.

 

Unless you can get there at 8 am to wait in line you might not get any. That being said it is the best BBQ I have ever had...period

 

Pfft. Don't make the guy stand in line 3 hours. LA Barbeque on South First Street is on par (or sometimes better) than Franklin (the local hype machine). Their pit master John is the former pitmaster of Franklin AND they serve the best beef ribs in town.

John Mueller Meat Co is also an up and comer on the east side (JM actually taught Franklin how to BBQ).

Do not go to Franklin unless you want to waste time. That said, their product IS great. I just hate lines.

In San Antonio... yeah, all the above info is great.

 

Like you and I stated... Franklin is the best BBQ you can find. I don't mind waiting because I enjoy having the best there is to offer. If he is in Texas he needs brisket not beef ribs. Franklin has better pulled pork than any I've had in the Carolina's and the brisket is better than any I've had in TX. On a side note I wouldn't drink a Dark Lord if someone paid me though so depends on your taste.

 

Come on dude, why go to the best place and wait if you could go to second or third or fourth best and not wait? ;-)

 

True... Just go to Bill Miller you won't have to wait.
