We were vacationing in San Antonio and grabbed up a few Groupon deals to use while we were there. Texas Pride didn't disappoint. We got a Pick four deal and chose the brisket, chicken, sausage (homemade on site), and ribs. The brisket was pure heaven. Smoky with a huge smoke ring, fall apart tender and juicy. The ribs were good and also well smoked. The chicken also had good smoke flavor and was juicy and flavorful. The sausage had great flavor and a nice kick. Sauces were available in hot and mild and both were delish. The sides were less exciting, but ok. The Mac and cheese was a little dry, the beans were pretty good, the mashed potatoes were sort of a brick, but ok. The dessert of peach cobbler was good in flavor, but more jelled peach syrup then peaches and the top seemed to be near burned. Overall this was a stellar dinner because the smoked meat was just divine. We went for smoked meat and definitely found the perfect place. read more

The venue is cool but the food is horrible. Meat always seems a couple days old and the beans/Mac n cheese/green beans are never hot or even warm. What's worse is the potato salad and similar sides are never cold... read more

So maybe cuz we got there at 9 (they close at 10) they were out of sides we wanted to try cream corn and mac'n cheese, we did have cheesy potatoes which weren't that cheesy, the bread they offered was dry... good points, the Turkey and ribs were delicious plus a pretty good band was performing read more

Good barbecue and very friendly staff! It is a little on the greasy side but flavor is good.

Terrible! My brisket looked like it had already been chewed. Not impressed with Guy Fieri's suggestion at all. Should have known better than to trust a guy from California for TX BBQ. If you're looking for true authentic BBQ in san Antonio you won't find it in the land of bill miller. Head to Lockhart TX and visit Smittys. Best BBQ I've ever had. It is the standard to measure against. I suggest the full fat brisket and the sausage. Grab an avocado, a block of cheese and some white bread and you're set! The sweet tea is great too. It is all worth the trip! read more

It was okay. I heard a lot of people suggest this place for good Texas barbecue so I decided to give it a try. The atmosphere was great, that I did enjoy. They play old school country music and have a dance hall next door to the dining area. As for the food, it was mediocre. The brisket and sausage were tender and juicy but their bbq sauce had too much of a vinegar flavor for my liking. If you are out this way then it's worth a stop, but I wouldn't make a trip out here from in town, there are much better places in town. read more

Sadly disappointed with our visit yesterday at 5. Long drive for very poor customer service , cold sides and over cooked bbq. The brisket actually had a good flavor but everything we had gone through to eat it was a bit overwhelming. We were not offered bread or "plates" while ordering had to figure it out for ourselves and go back to register to pick up some. After spending way too much for 6 people 150.00 was a little irritated with the kids taking our order not communicating with each other making it very awkward while we were ordering. We wanted brisket and turkey. They didn't have turkey so ordered chicken. Which I will get back to. Finally got our order placed by the time we found a table sat down then got back up to find utensils and plates then serve our sides were all cold. I was ready to go!! So back to the chicken way over cooked and non edible .The green beans tasted fresh out of the can but cold. Ribs were good. Sausage also over cooked and spicy when we ordered plain. Mac and cheese seemed good at one point but sat out too long and harden. BBQ sauce was good. Corn was runny overwatered. Cheesy potatoes were actually not bad. The actual place was pretty cool though. I would definitely not go back too expensive too far for mediocre bbq at best. Bill Millers and Rudy's are way better with customer service and freshness. Maybe a bad day for them? Enough for me to be completely turned off being we were there to celebrate my daughters bday. I didn't go complain not wanting to take away anymore from her special day. read more

This black has okay barbecue, but the atmosphere has always been the selling point. Stopped in today after months of not being in the area--and unfortunately, not a single employee was wearing a mask. Maybe 4 foot distance from employees when ordering, paying at register area--and of course they come around to clean up tables, etc...no mask. No reason to go back there for a long time again. read more

Best BBQ place in San Antonio so far, I try the Brisket and the sausage, me and my wife love the meat.

The place looks great with old gas pumps outside. The brisket, sausage, and ribs were all served cold. The potato salad had way too much mustard, pinto beans were dry and over peppered, the cream corn and peach cobbler were great! Over all I was very disappointed in the food. read more

I love this place. The best BBQ I've ever had! It has the most amazing atmosphere. You can dine inside or on the huge covered outdoor patio with live music and a playground for kids. It has Harley's there for biker night which is always a plus. The brisket is the most juiciest I have ever had. Smoked to perfection. My favorite is the baked potato smothered with brisket on top. The sides are delicious too. Give this place a try and you will see trip is always worth it. read more

Awesome place, Old school bbq. Sides were good, potato salad not what we are used to but still good. Great atmosphere.

First off I LOVE their BBQ, BUT this is the third time in the last 2 months we have visited and they have been out of sides, a choice of only two items coleslaw and beans!!! It was only 2:30, I understand if it was after 4 or you would run out of chicken, maybe brisket, BUT SIDES that is unacceptable and they still wanted to charge me full price for the #2 combo for 2 sides but didnt want those sides and no manager on duty to speak to. read more

Always telling it like it is ... I'll have to respectfully disagree with Mr. Fieri here. I was 'in the area' and 'in the area' for this place means 'I was 30 miles away from it' so I decided to work Texas Pride into the day as I religiously do anything the Food Network tells me to do (I'm washing Nigella's car later today). The place is hard to miss as the only things within a 20 mile radius are Pluto and Uranus (tempting as it is, I leave this line suchly -- darn suchly should be a word, let me modify that to 'as such'). Of course getting into the actual grub proved much more challenging as doors and signs are labeled this and that and the cowboy (who was actually on a horse) was much more interested in flirting with a milf than helping yours truly inside (not that I blame him there, but unfortunately for him, when you make that decision, you get some smart ass pointing you out on the internet). I finally make it inside, and since I'm always well prepared, and had already combed their website beforehand and decided I was getting the 'Hungry Texan'. Apropos name indeed. I figured I'd run the gamut of the selections here since it's not right around the corner. According to their website, the Hungry Texan comes with 4 sides and 4 meats (brisket, ribs, sausage, and turkey) for a penny shy of 34. According to the sign at the actual restaurant, the Hungry Texan comes with all that except for the turkey for that same price. Excellent way to piss me off to start off things. I never did eat any turkey and it still shows on the website as being part of the Hungry Texan as of the time of this review. Utterly amazes me how business can't get hours, location, and menu correct on the internet. All the food, including the meats, are already out there in HeatLampville (smells like another trademark for me) which doesn't exactly put the appetite on 'devour'. The pit master took my order, however, in this case, the young tike looked more like an 'Arm Pit Master'. He was probably more skilled in making unsavory noises out of his armpit than purveying some delicious Q. He threw together 6 of my (now) 7 (since the turkey wasn't actually part of this Hungry Texan) items in about 4 seconds. Now it was down to the brisket. He ended up giving me 3 Flinestoneesque carvings of the Brontosaurus, uh, er brisket. A prime rib carver would have been jealous on the thickness here. The four sides I settled on were pinto beans, green beans, cole slaw, and cheesy potatoes. I grab my tray and head into the charming dining room. They had a table with some fixins on it (pickles, etc.) and shockingly had some other bread in addition to the white loafs. I'm not sure what Texans' utter obsession with white bread is, but maybe it's BBQ tradition or those bread companies are from here or something else. Free your minds. Props to Texans Pride for at least another option here. I think I found the Sweet Tea Mecca. Here there were around a dozen large (sorry I don't know what the noun is for those tea containers). Yes I realize sweet tea is not mole sauce or pho soup in its preparation as anyone can drop a tea bag, but somebody has to be on top, and I deem this one on top. Let's get to the grub, commencing with the sides (sidetracking here: doesn't 'commencing' sound like it should mean ending instead of beginning? or 'befriend' ... that sounds like you purposely stopped being friends ... anywho). Cheesy potatoes: any item where the two main components are cheese and potatoes is going to work. I'm thinking more places should have this as an option. More meaning all. Even like Baskin Robbins. Cole slaw: I'm not sure how this one will go over with the masses, but I was down with it. It definitely has the finest cabbage cut of any slaw I've seen Green beans: uh, grab me a can opener and dig in! Tasted right from the can. Doesn't seem too hard to liven up these from the can, but I'm not seeing it. Pinto beans: I'm going to refer to these as Ghost Beans. The flavor experience was behind a corridor and came three seconds later; albeit still subtle. OK, I realized I've lost some of you there. My prose may have wandered wayward there, but imagine describing a ghost. It's a, er, a little over there, no, slight noise, wait, over here ... wayward prose indeed. Now a Texas Pride fan would probably say that's from smoking the beans. Hey, who am I to argue? It's time to meet the meat: Turkey: Well the turkey was ... wait, that's right ... the website says I get turkey with the Hungry Texan, and the sign at the counter says no turkey for you!! Sausage: who doesn't like a big juicy sausage? (uh, ladies please, settle down). Seemed decent. Ribs: Certainly had that smoke element to them. Yelp is telling me I need to wrap this thing up so I needed a chainsaw to cut the Brisket and I didn't care at all for the flavor of the BBQ sauce (which they also heated up, which made it worse). No return trip for me. read more

I regret that there are only 5 stars to give this place. I had way too much food, but ate it all because it was so. damn. GOOD. I had brisket that was lean and smoky and melt-in-your-mouth good. Pork tenderloin that made me...well, I'd like to marry it. And the ribs...omg the ribs. Meaty pork ribs with tons of flavor and a good crust on the outside and did I mention MEATY!? If you get to San Antonio and DON'T come to this place...well, you let me know where to find you, cuz I got a boot for your ass. I can't believe I have visited my mom here for the last 17 years, and it's only NOW that I actually LIVE here that I got to this place. The only drawback was that I went at dinnertime, and the line was out the door and it was a HOT day. Otherwise...I could happily live there, just nibblin' on their ribs. And tenderloin. ...and brisket. I gotta get back there SOON. (check out their website... Guy Fieri has been there...for good reason!) read more

Texas Pride Barbecue - Brisket, ribs, pork tenderloin. Cheesy potatoes and green beans. (potatoes were "meh") - Barbeque Near Me - Adkins, Texas

Adore this east side DREAM!!!!!!! EVERYTHING is GREAT! Do NOT overlook the sides!!!!! They are AMAZING!!! Incredible music, awesome ambiance and perfect place to let the kids play!!!! read more

Admittedly, I haven't visited all these United States, but I've had some pretty good barbecue in Pennsylvania, Utah, Idaho, Louisiana, and Florida. I know what you're saying, most of those states aren't exactly known for their barbecue. Still, I have a handle on what makes good barbecue. I recently enjoyed the best barbecue I've ever had in San Antonio, Texas at Texas Pride Barbecue. It's way out of the way, but worth the trip. The ribs were second to none. The brisket just fell apart for tenderness. The homemade sauces were exceptional! read more

First of all, I don't have a clue about 'Cue. I'm originally from Boston, I live in California and I'm stationed in SA on assignment. However, I'm a high class food snob and a bit of a foodie and also a fan of Triple D on Food Network. Guy's choices rarely disappoint and Texas Pride did not either. I showed up in the late afternoon and did not wait too long in line. Brisket, Ribs and Sausage were all excellent. I got chili and cheesy potatoes for side dishes and of course, their infamous pecan cobbler for dessert (warning: heart attack in a cup). I got all that to go and had a shredded brisket sandwich and a Dr. Pepper on the premises. Food - great! Spicy BBQ Sauce was a little mild for my taste but very tangy! T-shirts- well, the new design was not as cool as the old shirt that all of the staff was wearing, so I passed. I will definitely go back for more. read more

BBQ doesn't get any better than this. If you have friends or family visiting and you have just one place to take them that captures the true soul of Texas, make it Texas Pride. I have had no better. The food was too plentiful and the meat just melts in your mouth. Highly recommend the brisket and german potato salad. Grab your food first, then sit and enjoy in dining area sheltered by a tin roof and country music echoing. The place is surrounded by antiques which adds to the ambiance of old fashioned down home Texas BBQ. There is an enclosed playground for the kids. A definite must. read more

Very disappointing experience. We had 3 separate family, about 11 people and the service was sooooo slow. The food is really over priced. They were out of ribs and cream corn, it was 3 in the afternoon which made no sense. In addition the Brisket was dry, cheese potatoes were dense and the food was cold. Another group with us, got peach cobbled and pecan cobbler that looked really good but tasted bland. Overall bad experience and I would not recommend it. read more

I am from california and have been traveling around the country visiting my brother in the military. I started looking up places on diners-driveins and dives when i was in other states. That is how i found Texas Pride BBQ and i have to say... BEST bbq i have ever had in my life. The Brisket was cooked to perfection, the ribs were falling off the bone perfect and i am not one for sausage and i REALLY like their sausage. Not to mention the sides were delicious also. I loved the German Potato salad. And to top it off the guy behind the counter was extremly nice and patient while 6 californians tried to order. I would go back to texas just to visit Texas Pride BBQ. and i recommend any one in the area eat at this awesonme little joint. You won;t regret it!!! read more

Food, as always, was great! We love everything about Texas Pride. Especially the live music! Great chop bbq, ribs, brisket and sausage!

My wife and I got there late Sunday​ before closing, but we were able to get some ribs and brisket. Man, those ribs were thick and juicy with just enough crust flavor, and the brisket was delicious as well. With or without sauce, the meat speaks for itself. You have to go eat there!! read more

Texas Pride is a great place for barbecue. It is a little out of the way but you will not mind the drive after you finish eating. The brisket and sausage are more peppery than most but that makes it good! The sides are excellent and you get a good selection; my faves are the cheese potatos and green beans (not your grandma's). Any place that has RC and Big Red in bottles gets an automatic star. Watch out because they are not open on Mondays. read more

A disappointment. This was the first time I have tried a restaurant from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. My guess is that it has been a while since Guy Fieri has been to this place. We tried a selection of meats. They were OK. The sausage was the best. I didn't care for either bbq sauce. The hot sides were cold. The cole slaw was probably the best thing I ate. I was disappointed. I wanted some good Texas bbq. This wasn't the place to get it. read more

I don't know what all the hype is about. I found the place to be just OK. The bbq brisket was not the best and the fries were way too salty. My friend had a sandwich and it was dry. The place is cool, but not worth the drive. I wouldn't return. read more

I used to love this place, now I want it removed from my memory banks forever. 15 years ago this was an absolute gem, a faraway secret great BBQ destination in the middle of nowhere. I moved away for about 10 years, then came back to the area and got kicked in the groin when I excitedly returned to visit my old BBQ stomping grounds. In that time they got mighty big for their britches. A host of local recognition and awards followed by a showcase on Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives may be to blame. (side note: Guy Fieri is a bumbling fool, and the show highlighted how this place makes French fries. Fries?!?! At a Texas BBQ place?! Who the hell cares about French fries at a Texas BBQ joint?!?!) So what do with so much fame? Well, apparently expand to three times your original size and mass produce mediocre brisket and ribs, that's what you're going to do, okay? Heavens, the brisket is such a dried out joke now, I can't even stand it. And if I see one more person on Yelp or somewhere else carry on about how good the ribs are and it's the best cobbler since grandma's I will throw my computer out the window. Here's the simple Q&A test to see if a Texas BBQ place passes muster: IS YOUR BRISKET ANY GOOD? Have you tried our cobbler or our French fries? IS YOUR BRISKET ANY GOOD? Our sauce is super. IS YOUR BRISKET ANY GOOD? We have catfish on Fridays! WHAT IS THIS, THE SOUTH? IS YOUR BRISKET ANY GOOD? We have live music and... IS YOUR BRISKET ANY GOOD? No. No, it's not. SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN Look, after my return to Texas I tried this place out at least a half dozen times before coming to my conclusion that it's just sorry now. I realize any BBQ joint can have an off day, but one after the other is a steady trend, my friend. Annnnnd, the other stuff like ribs and sausage are ho hum at best. The place is filthy (don't look at the layers of dust above the serving station if you're freaked out by such things). So, I'm not driving out to the middle of nowhere to pay out the nose for bad brisket, dried out ribs, grease-filled sausage, wayyyy overrated cobbler, and filth. If they ever turn back time and put the effort into their products like they did circa 2000, I would be back in a heartbeat, but now it's all about the Benjamins and volume with them now. Forget it. There's so many other places in the area that are putting their all into the brisket and other smoked meats, so those places get my loyalty. Until Guy Fieri shows up, I suppose. read more

Texas Pride should be proud for the feast we had. Great building. We loved the look outside. Marbled brisket has great flavor and super tender. Ribs fall off the bone (sorry those of you who prefer some chew to them) and great flavor as well. Even the pickles are great. Pecan cobbler... out of this world! I've had bbq all over the US and this place is at the very top of the list. Thanks for the great experience!! read more

There's a reason this place was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives... it's fun, funky and freakin' delicious! They're definitely rockin' the "dive" atmosphere! You walk in and feel like it's a requirement to enjoy a cold beer while you're there. The food is outrageously yummy, and the price is good. Don't wear white... you'll leave with BBQ stains on your shirt... I promise. The only down side is that cokes come in the bottle and you don't get refills. You do however get free refills on tea and lemonade. The unsweet tea is the best around! They have live music and a fish fry on the weekends. It's also got a playground area for kids that looked fun enough to make me seriously consider embracing my inner child and going outside to play for a bit. Overall, this place is generally awesome in every sense of the word! read more

Doesn't matter what meat you get, everything is $14.99/lb. Brisket, sausage, pulled pork. Doesn't matter. Does this make sense? Then looked at the meat sitting under the sad heat lamp being served by the most listless, bored employees ever and decided our money was better spent elsewhere. read more

This is my absolute favorite BBQ place! I've tried numerous amounts of BBQ from the east coast to the west coast, and I can honestly say that this is the best. Plus the prices are super applicable. I highly recommend the turkey and peach cobbler! read more

The food is amazing, last time I went I ordered a turkey sandwhich and it was on a bun that looked like hamburger bun but was so good!! Not to mention they have german potato salad, regular potato salad and cheesy potatoes that are yummy! They even have live bands on fridays and saturdays, with no cover charge. read more

Im from the country LOL and have passed this place by for years. Finally went with a Groupon and we got a ton of food. I loved the brisket and sausage. The BBQ sauce could use a little bit of work otherwise YUM read more

Not impressed at all! Stopped by during the weekend, around lunch time. Purchased ribs and brisket...neither of which had any flavor at all. The ribs tasted like they were made in the oven without any rub...or even just salt. The brisket suuuure did look tasty but I was disappointed to find out that my eyes were more impressed than my tastebuds. For dessert I had the peach cobbler a la mode. It was good...but did I really stop for bbq only to be satisfied with the cobbler? If the Food Network was satisfied with this joint, then perhaps I should ignore any of their critiques. read more

Got the brisket,sausage and ribs. With mac n cheese and cheesy potatoes. Was all damn good. Would have took pics. But it looked so goid i couldn't wait to dig in. Great bbq and i know bbq. read more

I'm very satisfied with eating at this Texas Pride barbecue restaurant !! I recommend if you want some good BBQ food & out in the country side, come on down ..... read more

Great sides and brisket! When the live music is going it makes for a really fun atmosphere. The sauce is my favorite part! I could drink that sauce!!!! read more

Decent bbq but it's a long way out there. Great building and good stop if you're in the area. BBQ was a little dru

Okay, I'm stationed here in San Antonio. My wife had seen this place on TV "The real house wives of orange county," that mentioned that this place was the best recommended place. Ok, I was born and raised in Texas, before going into the military. So based on the wife, I went to have the most unsatisfactory meal. Military rations was much better. The sausage was dry like jerky. The brisket had more fat than meat. Potato salad was more like mash potatoes or potato salad soup. Beans were decent. The people were friendly and courteous. It did have a rustic feel. The price did not justify the quality of the meal. It was more of $$$ than $$. read more

I went her a couple weeks ago and the the brisket was as good as any brisket I have ever eaten! It was perfectly cooked!
