"Blanco BBQ serves large portions of smoked meats and classic sides in a rustic setting with a drive-thru option. They use ingredients such as 100% Black Angus brisket smoked for 14 hours, homemade Polish sausage, pork ribs, pork butt, ham, chicken, and turkey breast. The meats are smoked with Texas Oak and Pecan wood. The chicken and turkey are soaked in a special brine for 8 hours to keep them juicy and tasty. Each meat gets its own special spice mix to bring out the best flavors. They cook everything slowly at low temperatures, which takes more time but makes the meat very juicy. You can enjoy your meal in their large dining room or sit outside on the deck while kids play safely on the modern playground. Blanco BBQ welcomes you to have a tasty meal with family and friends in a friendly place. Their baked potato is served with cheese, sour cream, and BBQ sauce on the side.

2026 Update: They offer a variety of menus and services to meet different needs, including a party room with a capacity of 100 guests and a banquet hall that can accommodate up to 125 guests. They also feature live acoustic music on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays with local and regional performers. They provide online ordering with pickup options."

SMOKE SHACK BBQ REVIEWS

We had an amazing experience at this BBQ spot! We tried the brisket, ribs, and red meat sausages, paired with spicy corn salad, potato salad, and mac and cheese. The mac and cheese, mixed with small pieces of brisket, was a standout. The ribs were smoked to perfect tenderness, and the brisket was excellent—flavorful, juicy, and just the right texture. The sides were solid; the mac and cheese was great, though the potato salad could be better. Plenty of parking, ample seating for large groups, and they accommodate big to-go orders. The staff was incredibly nice and attentive, making the experience even better. Highly recommend for any BBQ lover!

Best brisket I've ever had. I like that they ask if you want lean or marbled. The chicken and sides were delicious as well. We only waited about 20 minutes to get in to order, but the outdoor area was great. As a die-hard fan of Memphis style BBQ, I didn't expect to like this place as much as I did! I'm impressed and would definitely recommend it.

Delicatexan next door is amazing! One of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Got to try the Texas Ruben!!!

BLANCO BBQ REVIEWS

Some of the best barbecue in San Antonio. Unfortunate how poor most places in San Antonio are, but glad to find a decent place. The staff are friendly, the food is good, big cups for drinks which I like. Plenty of parking which is good as there is a lot of seating for dining between the large indoor dining area, front covered patio and large back patio. Definitely plan to return and will take friends when they visit. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere/decor is nice.

Great atmosphere and fast service! Stopped in for lunch and grabbed a chef salad with BBQ chicken and sweet tea. Food was ready in less than 10 minutes during lunch rush hour. Kudos to their staff! Tables were turned over quick and very clean for the next person to eat. Salad was huge with and fresh. Always a great visit!

Great place! Love all the options they have for food and drinks, clean and friendly atmosphere. Chicken tenders are HUGE worth every cent!

B&B SMOKEHOUSE REVIEWS

Wow we were blown away by this place and found it by chance! Web love BBQ and I would say this is my 2nd fave place here in San Antonio There's usually a line but it goes by fast and is efficient. After you pay go find a table and wait for them to call your number. I ordered the 2 meat platter with fatty brisket and dark meat chicken. Absolutely delicious!! The corn side was also nice and sweet.

Got the bbq sampler plate which was a generous portion of brisket, sausage, turkey, bbq chicken, pork as well as a rib and side of beans. All the staples were flavorful and sides were good as well. I found the bbq sampler to be a good price for the amount of food given even without sides and would definitely come back.

The barbecue was delicious. The restaurant was quite crowded. We ordered sausage, brisket, pork ribs, turkey, and chicken. My wife mentioned that the sweet tea could have been sweeter. Apart from that, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.
