    UPDATE: We don't have BBQ like this in El Paso...so, I have to enjoy it when I get it. On my most recent trip to SA, 2M was on my "I gotta visit..." list, and it's such a good decision. I think I order way too much food, if there is such a thing - but the leftovers didn't last long from home either. We got there early on a late Thursday morning - pretty much front of the line. That's a true tip - fellow Yelper's have said the line is out the door, get there early. Thursday mornings is a slower day. The dining area was already full. Since it was a rainy day, nobody was sitting outside. On the menu this visit was the pork plate... which comes with servings of pulled pork and pork ribs. I was in heaven... I also got the chicharroni (macaroni and topped with chicharron flakes). Liz tried the nopal, and after trying it I was thinking I should have gotten that instead. They always have creative sides. We had enough food to take home and enjoy seconds. So, if you can't take the food, try hard not to be greedy. The service was friendly and efficient, I wish I had enough stomach to try everything. I don't, not at this age... but I do have every intention of coming back.

    We were gonna go try this place last time we were in SAT but we ended up in Pinkerton BBQ which had a long a$$ line, granted they're by the Downtown tourist area. It's only fair we try this one this time since our room is not ready yet plus it was only 20 mins from the Airport Rental car place and it was perfect timing for lunch. The place is a dive for a Michelin 2025, small seating area inside but outside is roomier. Definitely friendly service, portions are big for us as we wanted to try a little bit of everything. We ordered minimum 1/2 a lbs of Waygu TriTip, 2 sliced of Brisket & 1 Pork Rib, small Egg Salad & Pickle sides was complimentary. Everything was delicious except the Brisket looked yummy but had an odd smell and after taste and a bit on the salty side and texture was off, we were kinda bummed out as usually that's one of the beat stuff it was unfortunate but we still ate some of it lol. We should've said something but we were so full like we can't eat any more anyway. Hopefully it was just one off.

    Incredible BBQ in San Antonio! There can be a wait in line, but the food is absolutely worth it. The brisket is always perfect, the pork belly is wonderful and the sides are musts. My favorite are maria's beans, but the red cabbage cole slaw has a unique flavor that is so refreshing and delicious. Highly recommend 2M if you are looking for amazing BBQ.

    Amazing food. Still the best BBQ in San Antonio (meat only). The sauce is new (to me) from what I remember a BBQ syrup that is unique but I like my sauce with some viscosity and spice. Lol The egg salad was good but bland. The corn was outstanding Loved the pulled pork with the salsa verde sauce. Different t and good. The turkey was tender and juicy. The sausage is old world and flavorfully. Might be dry to some.

    The tables with the branded logo were adorable!

    By far the best brisket I have ever had! And the charro beans - delicious. Definitely worth the wait! The sauce is so good - it is a wetter sauce that is perfectly flavorful. Good beer selection. The team were so friendly - they cut our brisket and talked to us. The tables are so cute and I love the homey feel of the dining area.

    It's brisket and pineapple sausage.

    I haven't eaten at 2M Smokehouse in many years. I got there right before they opened up and there was a small line. After they opened up,I was served in about ten minutes or so. I got some fatty brisket,pork belly,one link of pork sausage and an 8oz size side of the mac & cheese. All that was a little over $40 before tip. BBQ isn't cheap,but worth it if it's good! The brisket was flavorful and tender like Texas bbq should be. The pork belly was delicious and the pork sausage was very good. The pork sausage had cheese and serrano peppers in it,but it wasn't very spicy. The mac & cheese had good flavor but was very cheesy. The people working there were very friendly and helpful. I like the new look inside. 2M Smokehouse is still the best BBQ joint in San Antonio in my opinion. When you are on the Southeast side of town,make sure to stop by 2M for some amazing bbq.

    2M Smokehouse, famous for their unique BBQ and sides caught my attention since its inception. Arrived on a Friday around lunch time and to my surprise the line was right up to the door. The place is a hole in the wall and has character very made from scratch feel and as you wait in line you study the menu and notice that once your up they fulfill your order as you place it which is standard in a traditional bbq place. I ordered the 1/2 pound of brisket, 1/2 pound of pork ribs, a pork sausage link, their special spaghetti verde and esquite corn Mexican corn style all which comes to about $60 to feed 2 people which isn't bad. The place is small inside however if you brave the summer heat there are plenty of seating outside. Let's review the FOOD, the brisket was nice and flavorful didn't need any BBQ sauce at all, juicy and easy to pull apart and also not very much fat which is plus! The pork ribs are amazing, a bit too much rub for my taste otherwise cooked to perfection! The pork sausage was packed with flavor, filled with pork of course, Oaxaca cheese, and Serrano peppers gave it a good kick. The meat complemented well with creamy, cheesy and spicy Mexican corn and the green spaghetti verde had a nice flavor to it. All in all for the price, BBQ and sides this place is by far the best BBQ I've had in San Antonio. I'll be sure to return, it's no wonder the owners here have been chosen to be in Food Network's Pitmaster's!

    Tried 2M Smokehouse and honestly... I don't really get the hype. The brisket was great -- and for the prices they charge, it better be. Portions were solid, and the homemade-style pickles were actually really good too. But a lot of the rest was disappointing. They have an hour wait was brutal especially when many items started falling off the menu, what's the time I was waiting on the outside The meat came out cold, and the sandwich was insanely salty to the point where it was hard to finish. The BBQ sauce was super sweet and thin, and honestly made things worse instead of better. They were also out of a ton of menu items and most of the sides. Only mac and cheese was left, and after trying it... I kind of understood why. They put pork rind dust on top, which caught me off guard since. The pulled pork had salsa verde and cilantro mixed into it. Maybe it would've been better hot, but I personally wasn't a fan of that flavor combo for BBQ. The brisket nachos sounded amazing because of the Oaxaca cheese, but it honestly felt unnecessary and kind of a crime against good brisket. Overall, it feels like they're trying really hard to be different instead of just focusing on making consistently great Texas BBQ. There are definitely better BBQ spots in San Antonio in my opinion. If you go, go right when they open so the food is fresh, hot, and they still have the full menu available. Also, the inside seating area is really small. The parking lot is a mess alone, it rained the night before, so literally my entire tire was underwater in the parking lot . If it's packed, honestly come back another day because standing outside in the Texas heat while eating super salty BBQ sounds like a recipe for heat stroke.

    Believe the hype. Awesome bbq. Had the pulled pork and street corn. Lots of food for the price

    Driving around eating BBQ on the Texas Monthly Top 50 list. Went to San Antonio Texas on a Friday and 2 M Smokehouse BBQ was our 2nd stop. We have placed an online order to make sure that we got some of their brisket. When we arrived around 12:45pm the line was short so we decided to walk in and get our order. The wait inside was short and they still had everything on the menu. When it was our turn to order we told them that we had placed an online order and they went to work putting it together. The brisket was moist and had a beautiful smoke ring. The sausage was ok, and the pork ribs were on point delicious. There are a few tables to eat inside and lots of tables to eat outside under the trees. I recommend you try 2M Smokehouse BBQ in San Antonio Texas

    Overall, the experience was good despite the warm weather. I enjoyed the pork cheese sausage the most since it had a slight spicy kick to it, but I enjoyed the brisket too despite being on a slightly drier side and the slices are kind of thick for brisket which is a good thing. The chicharrón macaroni and cheese was delicious and creamy. The pickles helped balance the richness of the meat and the macaroni and cheese. Overall, it's worth going at least once whenever you happen to be in San Antonio for any reason. Make sure to arrive by 10:45 am for the best selection of meats and sides especially on weekends.

    It was about an hour wait but the food was fantastic! The brisket had great flavor, the pork ribs were not overcooked, the beans had tons of flavor and the Mac was very cheesy! The facility lacked a little bit in covered space as we went on a hot and sunny day. It is definitely worth the hype as this place is listed on the top 50 BBQ joints!

    Came here on a rainy Sunday so we got our food to-go considering we love less than 10 minutes away. There weren't too many people there I'd assume because of the weather which was an added bonus. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, they moved quickly and efficiently. The food was absolutely delicious! We got the medium family meal with brisket, turkey, and pulled pork; sides were Double Macaroni, Double Corn, and coleslaw. We also got two pork sausages and a pound of ribs in the side. Everything was super flavorful, some of the best ribs I've ever had and the corn was so flavorful it was the best side in our humble opinion. The barbecue sauce was a bit unconventional, had a maple syrup type of consistency and was a little sweet but not a bad sauce. Definitely recommend coming here you will not be disappointed and definitely will be coming back!

    Ask the Community - 2M Smokehouse BBQ

    Do you always have to wait in line? When's the best time to get there before things are sold out?

    I've gotten lucky a couple times when the weather is bad, to show up at noon to little to no line and everything available. More times than not though, i get there by 1030 and wait in a line of 15 people or so

    Is there still food for a weekday dinner?

    Depends on how much you order. If you order the large meal. You would have enough for breakfast, lunch and dinner for several days.

    Does anyone know when the line normally starts forming on Sundays?

    Around 10am

    I see under health and safety measures on Yelp that the staff wear gloves but do they also wear masks?

    Yes and they are also only doing curbside orders

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    I saw folks being their four legged family members this afternoon...I would bring a bowl, they don't have faucets outside - but you can fill up with cups of water from inside.

    Do y'all still have the beef ribbs?

    Gotta get their early, like Tony A. said. I was there at noon, and they were out by 12:30pm.

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between laid-back Texas charm and a lively River Walk experience. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from start to finish. I ordered the three-meat plate with the sausage, second-cut brisket, and smoked turkey, and every bite was outstanding. The brisket was tender and packed with smoky flavor, the sausage had the perfect snap and seasoning, and the smoked turkey was surprisingly juicy and flavorful. The baked beans and mac & cheese were fantastic sides that complemented the barbecue perfectly. To top it all off, I had one of the best mango margaritas I've ever tasted--refreshing, smooth, and the perfect pairing for the meal. And don't even think about skipping the complimentary bread with honey butter. It's warm, fresh, and absolutely to die for. Between the incredible food, excellent service, and unbeatable River Walk atmosphere, The County Line was one of the highlights of our trip to San Antonio. I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again and will absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the city. Five stars all the way!

Y'know it's impossible to find street parking especially on the weekends normally. I had made reservations to meet some friends here for brunch/lunch 1145 am on a Sunday. This place is bigger than it looks! There's seating at the main building, plus a huge outdoor patio seating area, and an entire other building beautifully decorated. The hostess was welcoming and friendly and our server was excellent. We were seated in the other building near the windows. The menu wasn't huge, but just right with a few lunch and brunch items. After debating for a while of what to order, I decided on the Texas Gulf Shrimp plate. Agua Fresca of the day per our server was strawberry pineapple. Our server was able to water mine down slightly- since it was very sweet, but love knowing that it was freshly made. Complimentary chips and salsa always a plus, and we were able to order some spicy salsa to accompany at no charge. My shrimp plate was delicious! 2 skewers of nicely cooked and seasoned shrimp atop salsa with perfectly cooked cilantro rice and a fresh leaf salad. A half slices avocado accompanied my plate. Oh how I love avocados. I thoroughly enjoyed my plate. The chicken al carbon was also a good choice - half a chicken that was juicy, not dry. The avocado toast was beautiful and the pecan salsa was quite interesting. The female performers during our brunch in the room, made it very hard for all of us to have conversations. The volume echoed loudly in the room, so it was very hard to speak and understand each other. Although a great idea, maybe outdoor patio area might be more suitable. Beautiful space, great service, good food.
