    I went to this place craving some barbecue, and was met with diverse results. First, I wanted to highlight the service being great. The workers were helpful and responsive to my questions and concerns Next, in consideration of a busy restaurant, food was pretty quick to come out. My first low being the food. Food was decent but did not match my standard. For the price it was reasonable, but definitely some better options out there. My second low is the fact they ran out of food and stopped serving people before closing. I understand it's a busy restaurant, but leaving some people empty handed does not me satisfied.

    Tri-tip sandwich, barbecue sauce, and a side of coleslaw
    Steven K.

    The best barbecue in the South Bay, and well-deserved, South Winchester BBQ offers juicy, smoked meat sandwiches, delicious sides, and community. Meat-lovers' heaven? An unforgettable barbecue sandwich experience? You'll find both here at South Winchester BBQ. I was in the mood for a good barbecue sandwich and found myself at South Winchester BBQ. The sun shone high, the breezes blew gently, and it was busy with lunch goers that day. I ordered the tri-tip sandwich with a side of coleslaw and got myself a glass of water. Then I went outside to the patio where families and friends ate their lunches while their dogs looked on. The patio was sheltered from the street and provided a quiet place for community to gather over good food and drink. It would be a wonderful spot to enjoy my meal. My name was called, and I went to get my sandwich. The first bite was excellent! Juicy meat slices accented with the robust, savory, light sweet notes of smoked California oak wood. Fresh buns buttered and lightly toasted on the flats. Brought together as a well-done sandwich, every bite was savory meat and spiced rub, sweet barbecue sauce, and light crunch of toasted bread. The coleslaw was finely chopped cabbage tossed in a creamy, mildly sweet dressing, with a dusting of cracked black peppercorn on top. A welcome refreshing side to my tri-tip sandwich, the coleslaw cleansed the palate and balanced out my rich meal. The tri-tip sandwich and coleslaw sure paired up to pack a delicious punch. South Winchester BBQ was a definite win in my books. Next time I want a good barbecue sandwich, I'll come back for more. I know I'll be in for a delightful time!

    I was a bit shocked and disappointed since there were so many great reviews about this place! The food looked great when it came out, but the flavors did not quite meet expectations. The ribs were tender and nicely sauced but nothing particularly memorable. The brisket was soft but lacked flavor, and while the pulled pork was decent, the tri tip was extremely dry. The cornbread and beans were also underwhelming and could have used more flavor. The mac and cheese was the standout and easily the best item of everything ordered. I visited for dinner around 7:30 pm and thought maybe it's because it's the end of the night? But I've been to other BBQ restaurants around the same time or even later and have never experienced this before! I do really appreciated how clean and well kept the space was though! The outdoor seating area is especially cute and makes it a nice spot to sit and enjoy your meal! The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience feel comfortable from the start! The atmosphere and service were strong, but I wish the food matched that same level.

    Came in hoping for a solid BBQ meal, but unfortunately it may have just been an off day for them. The place has a casual laid back BBQ atmosphere and the staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience better. The ribs and brisket were both lacking flavor and didn't really have that smoky BBQ taste we were expecting. The bread pudding was also extremely dry. Hoping they were just having an off night because the service itself was great.

    4 meat combo with corn bread, potato salad & coleslaw.
    Carlos P.

    Alrighty. Here goes. Corn bread was ok and a little lacking. Potato salad was just ok. Cole slaw was really good. Burnt ends were more like burnt fat ends and were either very hard or very soft like fat, don't recommend the burnt ends. Ribs were awesome. Tritip was great as well. Brisket was really good as well. Blue berry cobbler with vanilla ice cream was excellent way to end tonight's dinner. Thanks to the staff for their hospitality. God Bless.

    I totally forgot about this place. I have been here years ago to pick up some sides for a family get together. My buddy asked me if I wanted to grab dome bbq and he chose this place. As I was driving, I missed the turn into the parking spot but there was another entrance right behind that wraps back to the lot. I did the same mistake when I came here the first time which is why I remembered this place once I arrived. There is a good amount of parking spaces. When you enter inside, there are two cashiers where one is for to go order and the other is for dine in. They have a soda fountain machine right behind the register that you can self serve and at the end, there are beers on tap. I decided to go for the 3 meat combo (tri tip, brisket, and ribs) which cane with two sides of your choosing (mac and cheese and potato salad). There are plenty of open seating when we went there around 3:30pm. The food came out pretty quickly. They have regular bbq and spicy bbq near the side door that you can get for your bbq. I tried the sides first and they still taste amazing like when I first tried it years ago. The brisket had a really good smokey flavor and was tender. The tri tip was juicy and packed a good flavor. The ribs were also really good. The meat did not slide off the bone as I'm use to but the meat on the rib was not dry at all. Dipping the meat in the spicy bbq sauce gave it more flavor if you like to use bbq sauce on your bbq. The staff were very helpful and didn't rush us when we were still trying to figure out what to order. There are to go boxes where the bbq sauces are which made it very convenient for both the customers and this allowed the staff to focus on the food and service. If you like bbq or even bbq sides, this place is a good spot to hit. It is in the middle of the city so it's a few miles away after you exit the freeway.

    Tri Tip Brisket Meal, Mac and Cheese
    Josh A.

    This place is amazing! The food is delicious everything is so soft and melts in your mouth. I got the tri-tip and brisket platter with mac 'n' cheese and their amazing garlic bread. My girlfriend had the tri-tip sandwich, which was just as delicious and tender. (Definitely recommend trying the cucumbers so fire!) The service is great friendly staff and super quick from ordering to receiving your food. Everything comes out warm and ready to eat, and the soda and beer options are really good. The ambiance was really chill. We went on a Sunday afternoon, they had Sunday Night Football on, and as a big Chivas fan, I liked that they were playing that game too. Definitely the kind of place I was excited to eat at. I'll definitely going to be back again soon !

    Wow! We don't gave to to to Tennessee! This BBQ place opens early for a brisket biscuit and egg.. We met David who is the owner and staff is super friendly and our biscuits were perfect, moist, egg so fluffy and the sides of BBQ sauce are very tasty! One regular and one spicy! Will be back! Thank you! Blues music was great to sit and chill eating all this goodness!

    Tri-tip Breakfast Tacos
    Jared S.

    Who would think that you can get breakfast at a BBQ joint? Well, you can. South Winchester BBQ on well, Winchester, in San Jose has fantastic breakfast tacos with your choice of brisket, tri tip or pulled pork. If you want the full breakfast taco experience, get one of all 3. They also have an amazing breakfast sandwich and a good selection of "breakfast" beers. If the can says breakfast or coffee then you can justify a beer for breakfast, as Zach Top sings about. Hands down, this is my go to spot for breakfast tacos. and yeah a beer before noon.

    UPDATE - I've eaten here a few more times since my last review. Each time it was really good and the customer service is always great. The last time I brought a friend and we ordered a ton and we really enjoyed it. Love the patio area. Fast forward to today and I have to wonder what's goin on in the kitchen? I ordered: 1/2 a rack of baby back ribs: so dry! The best part was the sauce. Mac-n-cheese: just meh Coleslaw: absolutely dry and flavorless Corn bread: the absolute worst I've probably ever had. It was oddly flat and tasted just weird. oily? No "corn" flavor at all. No butter or honey flavors either. How is that possible?? There's not many great bbq places in our area so having this be such a miss tonight is deeply disappointing.

    The food was delicious, the brisket so soft and flavorful. Service was great and fast. Plenty of seating outside.

    On their DoorDash, it says that the breakfast taco is made with pulled pork. But then it requires you to select a different meat. Pulled pork is not one of the options. Can anyone explain this?

    They offer 3 options pork brisket or tritip for their choices preferably order from their website as sometimes the DoorDash app is "off" or they were out of that particular meat that day

    Do they take reservations?

    I don’t think so, you order at the counter pay for it, pick it when they call you number or name.

    Does the bbq sauce or the beans contain pork?

    They do not.

I ordered one grilled pork banh mi and one grilled chicken banh mi with pâté added to it. Saw that they had a nice selection of tea drinks that they made but they all had dairy in them. I asked if they had any without dairy. The owner said he could make any of them without the dairy, which was so nice. I ordered the passion fruit green tea and the honeydew free tea, both with 50% sweetness. My whole order took only 6 minutes. The sandwiches were delicious. I loved the grilled chicken. I'm also glad I took a chance and added the pâté for $1.50 extra. It's worth it. It worked perfectly with grilled chicken. My husband really enjoyed his grilled pork banh mi. We both loved our fruit teas. Both were so refreshing and tasty. I would definitely order a fruit tea again. I appreciated the excellent customer service I received here and the friendliness of the owner. We will definitely be back for more.

I could see…read morethey were a mexican bakery so I planned on coming back when I had a chance for a work break. After checking out their yelp page I saw they had food as well so the plan was set to go for lunch. There's a small but empty enough parking lot along with street parking. I walked over around lunch time and there was one person ahead of me. I ordered a steak torta which seemed promising. The lady who took my order twisted my arm into getting a licuado (milkshake). While waiting for my food, I went next door for a drink and chips. My food was ready in less than 10 minutes and the line had grew by that time. The torta was really tasty and fresh, all the ingredients hit the notes needed. The bread stood out in good and bad ways. The flavor was above average but it crumbled quite a bit. There was enough inside to hold up to the thick bread so I cant complain. My biggest gripe is there wasn't any salsa on the side and I didnt see any in the store. Maybe I just didnt ask? But if there is some available, this place could be a hit out the park. There was also a slight taste of tuna in my sandwich. They may have used the same spatula for the mayo as the tuna perhaps, im not sure. I didn't get sick or anything so I won't complain too much, just mentioning it. Salsa woulda covered it and elevated it but this is just my take. The licuado was standard mexican childhood approved. 7 bones for the drink and my total was like 19 bucks. Thats very fair because the torta is filling enough for barely 11 dollars, great value.
