It's the one…read morething I wanted to try before heading back so I ordered quite a few things: the rib plate with mac and cheese and baked beans, a jalapeno pepper sausage, a "chosen" sandwich (which I believe was rib meat + sausage), and a side of potato salad. I really enjoyed the ribs and the sausage. Both were very smoky and fresh (despite coming in closer to closing time) and the ribs had a hint of sweetness. I think that's the Memphis style BBQ poking through. I thought the sides were just okay. The baked beans were a little too sweet for my taste, the mac and cheese wasn't cheesy enough, and the potato salad was fine. I'm giving this place four stars because what I came here, the meats, were really well seasoned and the staff was very friendly. They even gave my cousin an additional side for free. One final thing, it's a little unassuming as it lives right next to a gas station but the inside is still a decent size with seating.

She had a sliced brisket sandwich. The food was all very good. They use huge chicken pieces.The servings were very large for everything. The people running the restaurant were very friendly. They wore T-shirts with the logo on the front that said on the back that it was Memphis style. This location has been several different kinds of restaurant over the years. Porky J's has totally redone the interior. It is really nice and comfortable. I am happy that we now have a really close barbecue place next to us. I'll be back!

You have your choice of indoor or outdoor seating and there's a great area for events and live music/dancing. Even the parking is easy, though it is a dirt lot so be aware of you're wearing heels or driving a car with very low clearance. The food is fantastic. The BBQ is tasty and flavorful. Every side I've had is top notch. We had ribs and the manager came to check on us and decided that we didn't get a full portion (we had plenty of food but one of the ribs was smaller than the others). He immediately recruited this by bringing us more ribs. I didn't argue because they were delicious. Favorite thing I've eaten there, for sure. It's a great stop with a family feel and a variety of delicious food. You won't be disappointed!

El Monte was the 82nd smokehouse on my quest to visit as many BBQ restaurants on the planet before…read moreI cross over. Here are a few thoughts from a self-proclaimed BBQ snob:) First off, El Monte is an absolute dive! You can very easily pass by and not give it a second look. But then again, many of the really good smokehouses are. My fiancee and I are new to San Antonio and like trying new BBQ places. We picked El Monte at random after our initial choice turned out to be closed. I ordered a 2-meat platter with brisket and sausage, which is my "go to" meal when trying out any new smokehouse. IMHO, those two meats...and their sides...tell you a lot about a BBQ joint. My fiancee ordered the brisket sandwich. The sausage was a slightly charred but still good, although nothing to write home about. The Barracho beans were pretty good, but not my style. Nor do I like rice with BBQ. Just to be clear...I like Mexican food, I like Tex Mex and I like BBQ. But I don't necessarily like them combined; it's a matter of personal taste for me. The potato salad was okay, but again, nothing to write home about. My fiance had the brisket sandwich and thought it was awesome. For starters, it was HUGE! In addition to the brisket, it had white cheese, pico and guacamole. She offered me a bite, but I was too occupied with my own plate. So, what was good? The brisket was freaking AWESOME!!! It was some of the best I've had. Great flavor and extremely tender. It literally crumbles on your fork and melts in your mouth. Not sure what was in their BBQ sauce, but it complements the brisket extremely well. Nothing else on my plate was bad at all, the brisket just blew everything out of the water. I would go back just for the brisket alone. If you stop by El Monte without trying it, you're selling yourself short. I've never given a 5-Star review based solely on the brisket, so this is first for me.

I struggled with whether to write this review, but I ultimately decided to share our experience…read more My brothers and I traveled from California to surprise our dad for his 80th birthday. During our visit, my dad insisted on taking the family to County Line, one of his favorite restaurants. We arrived as a party of nine and were seated promptly. Our waitress greeted us, brought our drinks, and began taking our orders. Our 16-year-old, who is a very light eater, initially asked to order the kids' all-you-can-eat meal. The waitress kindly explained that because she was over the age limit, she would need to order the adult price. We completely understood, and she chose a different entrée without any issue. Our youngest, however, is 12 years old and ordered the kids' all-you-can-eat meal. The waitress questioned his age, and I confirmed that he was 12. She finished taking our order, but I found myself scrolling through Facebook looking for photos that would verify his age. As It's not common practice for me to travel with birth certificates. A few moments later, the manager came to our table and told us that our son would need to pay the adult price because of his size. We again explained that he was 12 years old and met the age requirement listed on the menu. The manager responded that the kids' menu was intended for "little kids, not big guys." He said he would honor the children's price this time, but that if we returned, our son would need to order from the adult menu regardless of his age. That interaction immediately changed the atmosphere for our family. We had come together to celebrate a joyful milestone, and instead found ourselves feeling like we had to defend our son's age and justify our order. Unfortunately, throughout the remainder of our meal, we noticed the manager and members of the waitstaff repeatedly looking over at our table. Whether intended or not, it made us feel uncomfortable and as though we were being watched. The food was good, and our waitress was courteous throughout our visit. However, the way this situation was handled overshadowed what should have been a special family dinner celebrating our father's 80th birthday. I understand that restaurants sometimes encounter guests who attempt to misuse children's menus, and I appreciate the need to enforce policies. However, when a child clearly meets the posted age requirement, I hope future situations can be handled with a little more grace and discretion. It would allow families to enjoy their meal without feeling embarrassed or singled out.
