If you're comparing Flaming Bird smoked sausage with True Texas BBQ sausage, Flaming Bird is…read moresignificantly cheaper. Using the current prices: * Flaming Bird: $7.49 per pound. * True Texas BBQ: $5.00 per link, with one link estimated at about ¼ pound (4 oz), which works out to roughly $20.00 per pound. That means: * Difference per pound: about $12.50 cheaper at Flaming Bird. * Difference per ¼-pound serving: about $3.10 cheaper (around $1.90 at Flaming Bird versus $5.00 at True Texas BBQ). The reason for the price difference is that the two products aren't exactly the same. True Texas BBQ serves restaurant-style, pit-smoked barbecue sausage as part of its BBQ menu, while Flaming Bird's sausage is part of its rotisserie/grill concept and is priced more like a deli prepared food.

Me and a girl drinking a soda Took nearly 15 minutes to get my sandwich and fried pickles. I should have known when I got handed the bag and it felt like there was nothing in it but air something was up but whatever. Got home and just had to laugh at my LARGE order of fried pickles. Look at the picture lol. If that's a large, the small must be like 5 pieces. They were sat in a pool of grease and tasted frozen. No hand battering of pickles was done in that place dudes. Fried chicken sandwich was a Tyson frozen patty special. Asked for raw onions on the sandwich since it was a spicy buffalo. Now maybe I'm being nit picky but I'd expect at least a red onion, you know? Nope! A massive hunk of raw white onion. The sandwich tasted fine, because it was exactly what I would whip up at home with my air fryer and some franks red hot. Only then my sandwich bun wouldn't have been soggy if I'd have made it myself but that's neither here nor there. Bad time all around. I did not feel God in that Grill House Burgers. (If you get the reference, you get it.)

Our Local Go To for Brisket Every Time…read more Black's BBQ in New Braunfels is our local go to spot. It is a quick drive from home, and their brisket keeps us coming back. We always order a mix of regular and a little lean for me, and both are consistently tender and flavorful. The sausage is ok, but the turkey on the rare occasions we get it is delicious and moist. For sides, we love Norma Jean's beans, green beans, and slaw. They are reliable and always hit the spot. One thing I discovered is that if I reheat the brisket in my Breville oven on the warm setting, it comes out tasting just like it did the day we ordered it. Desserts are sometimes a thing for us. The peach cobbler and banana pudding can be good, but they are not always consistent. Side note. I still do not know what to think about their family rival, Terry Black's BBQ building right next door. It is a cool vibe overall, and if you catch it at the right time, they even have musical events which makes the visit even better.

The brisket was extremely average... nothing stood out about it at all. Not soft, not hard, not lean, not moist, just average. I also tried the ribs, these, I'm sorry to report were actually below average on my scale. I don't rate every barbecue spot I try, unfortunately only the very good ones and below expectation ones leave enough of an impact that compels me to leave a review. Overall expectation pulling up 10/10 - Reality 5/10.

This was our fist time in San Antonio, and our first BBQ there. It was good. And we went back twice…read morebefore we left. I ordered the brisket and burnt ends with creamed corn and the green beans. My wife had the brisket and chicken the first time and I think the sausage the second. For us coming from California this was a nice treat. The only issue was they ran out of chicken the second time we went. That did not effect me, but it did my wife and the her family who went with us. Would I go back, yes for sure. I would call before going to make sure they have not run out of anything to save yourself the disappointment of driving to them only to find out what you are craving is not there. Oh, and the sweet tea was amazing.

In response to the May 18, 2026, review by Robin B…read more I disagree with the characterization presented in that review, as I was there and received the food upon your arrival. Thank you for taking the time to accommodate us at the last minute on one of the busiest weekends in San Antonio, GRADUATION TIME. While we were indecisive on whether to utilize your services, then agreeing, then canceling and then confirming a day and a half prior to the event, YOU came through! While most caterers would have not accepted the job, you did, against your better judgment. While the Brisket was not the quality that you are accustomed to serving, I understand time constraints prevented your usual 14 hour minimum cook time. I suggest in the future, that you do not offer that item if time does not allow. I know you were trying to give the customer what they want, but "No good deed goes unpunished!" When you brought the food it was more than what I was expecting for the number we provided. The chicken was INCREDIBLE, green beans and mac & cheese were quite tasty too. I know we only purchased food, and no set was required. Surely, you were not expected to provide sterno chafing stands and sternos for the very modest price! You did however supply decorative plates, utensils, cups, napkins, and all the condiments for our meal! This revealed your eye for details and mission to please! The items match the color scheme and decor we had, so I know you were in the spirit! You did more than enough. Anyone hiring you will be in good hands! I sincerely apologize for my sister's review and applaud your professionalism and service. I pray God's continued blessings over you and your business!

Hello my fellow foodies…read more I'm about to relax after devouring this deliciousness from Daddy J's BBQ! We ordered the 3 meat special for $14, the sides (Big beans and coleslaw) were extra; making the grand total $19. RIBS (5/5): The ribs were so tender and seasoned to perfection. I've ordered ribs from several local barbecue joints and some were either dry or was too much smoky flavor for me. I'm kicking myself in the rear end for not ordering more. Daddy J's ribs were juicy with just enough of season and smoky flavor. BAKED BEANS (5/5): Beans were tangy and sweet; very flavorful SAUSAGE (5/5): Sausage was hot and fresh but flavor was nothing really to rave about. It tasted like normal kielbasa sausage. BRISKET (4/5): While I'm not a huge brisket fan, I have to admit, it tasted pretty good. I personally feel like brisket should be injected with the same seasoning that's used on the outside. But, I understand most BBQ joints use the traditional way and I'm sure many may enjoy it just as it is. My husband ate more of it than I did and enjoyed it just as much as he did the ribs. COLESLAW (4/5): Coleslaw was cold and fresh. Although, I would have added a little more creamy slaw dressing. Rolls tasted as if they were Hawaiian rolls but that works too To me, it seems as if the ribs are the heavy hitting here! I would definitely visit again, order just ribs and sides.

If you're headed deeper down the 1103 for a meal, don't fight the traffic. Stop at the gas station and experience good cooking. Take out or eat in, there are several tables, a TV and some delicious aromas in the place.
