    Pulled Pork Sandwich
    Ronnie K.

    Location is great. I did feel like the seating along the river is a little tight. There people at the table behind us kept bumping into me. And the bricks under the table were extremely uneven, which made our table not sit straight. Service was great, no complaints there. We ordered deep-fried pickles, the pulled pork sandwich and light brisket platter. Everything was good except the pulled pork sandwich, which I was very disappointed in. The sides with the brisket were a little bland. But the brisket was great!!

    Location on Riverwalk

    While you are in Texas you must have BBQ. Riverwalk worker recommended this place. I had a pulled pork sandwich loaded with pulled pork, and coleslaw. The only thing that was different, the coleslaw was in chunks not shreds. Flavor okay. Margarita came with a tumbler. Great for the price of $14. Outdoor seating, and the service was good. Place filled up quickly mid-afternoon.

    So we were looking for some barbecue that was nearby and this location was close to us. While it didn't have the best reviews we decided to give it a chance We were seated inside, and I decided to have the loaded baked potato with pulled pork. Potato was great, pulled pork was really good even though I will say visually this is not what you think of when you think of pulled pork. Quite frankly when they first brought it out, I actually thought it was curry. My husband got the plate with ribs, lean brisket, pulled pork, and for sides, he got the collard greens and the potato salad. The brisket was pretty dry and the ribs had a weird seasoning to them, which he honestly just couldn't get past and didn't end up eating much of them. Pulled pork wasn't to his liking. He just didn't like the flavor of it . Collard greens are pretty good. They definitely had a lot of heat to them and potato salad was good although they are heavy on the dill pickle side. So overall, the food was not terrible, but was not the best barbecue we've ever had

    Stopped by The County Line on the San Antonio Riverwalk and the atmosphere is definitely the highlight. It's right on the water and sitting outside makes for great people-watching -- perfect spot if you want to enjoy the Riverwalk vibe while you eat. The servers were friendly and welcoming, which added to the experience. We tried the fried pickles to start. They were spears instead of slices, which was a first for me. The flavor was fine, but the batter slid off pretty easily, making them a little awkward to eat. For my main, I ordered the light brisket plate with potato salad and coleslaw. The brisket was just okay -- a bit tough and came out cold. The sides were average and didn't really stand out. I also had a glass of wine, but nothing memorable there either. Overall, there are definitely better barbecue spots in San Antonio if you're looking for top-tier food. But for the Riverwalk location, friendly service, and fun atmosphere -- especially outdoors -- it's a solid option if you're prioritizing the view and people-watching over the meal.

    I got the three meat plate - brisket, ribs, pulled pork, beans, mac 'n cheese, and the queso & chips appetizer. The only good things were the queso and chips & my server. The brisket is pale like it was boiled or something. The ribs were tough and chewy. The pulled pork was in some sort of disgusting liquid. The mac and cheese was mushy and the beans were horrible. I came here because Pinkerton's was closed due to it being Monday. Lesson learned.

    Cool spot! I stopped here off the Riverwalk for dinner. I ordered the two meat plate with brisket and sausage; the sides were potato salad and mac and cheese. I was a little disappointed that the brisket was on the tough side. It had a noticeable smoke ring and great flavor. The sausage was good and had a little spice to it. The potato salad and mac and cheese were great. Service was quick and courageous and the prices were good, considering the touristy location.

    Brisket, dryyyyyyyyyy

    This food was so dry. The brisket had no flavor, Cole slaw bland, sauces weren't that good.

    What do I have to say about this place- 1st of all Manuel is very friendly and told us the best drinks to get. He always made sure we were good and our drinks never got empty. The menu has a lot of great items, but whatever you get it's always delicious. We loved the food & it was absolutely fantastic! The atmosphere was very lazy back and very quiet. Loved how clean it was and tables were not sticky at all!!! Definitely always a favorite for us and it never fails to amaze us!

    Great BBQ at very good prices right on the Riverwalk. You can smell smoke. This is real deal BBQ. Husband & I had the platter and we both indulged and took some home. It was like $35. The drinks were good. The loaf of bread came out hot with soft creamy butter. The brisket was tender and didn't need sauce. The chicken was juicy and cooked perfectly. The sausage had a little kick and was the first meat we ate. So good. Highly recommend!!

    They have salads and sandwiches back! The server struggled with simple words like "fries," but he was pleasant enough, if preoccupied with the table behind us. The turkey was moist and flavorful, but nothing was hot - the only detractor. We had mediocre experiences that few visits, but they have absolutely redeemed themselves!

For a starter we shared the cornbread with another couple and it was plenty for 4 people. If you are from out of town and looking for some Texas-shaped vittles or just want something substantial to stretch your meal I recommend it! Very tasty and filling. For my main I had the scallops with creamed corn risotto. It was a dainty portion but the flavors were nice. My husband had the short rib tagliatelle which he loved. It was very rich and filling. We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different.

Checked Yelp for dinner suggestions so Doc drove us to the paid lot next to where all the Cinderella lit up carriages drawn by horses were lined up. It seemed the boats going up and down the River portion of the Walk were busier. While we were walking I had my eyes open for a table with a view. We stopped at Four Brothers. The receptionist went over suggestions on the menu on her outdoor podium. Cornbread in the shape of Texas, shareable items like Dino ribs for $82, plus Pork Shank and ice tea completed our order. Everyone was very friendly. We had an exceptional view and we had more than enough food that we had to ask for take out boxes. My favorite was the Mac & cheese though I'm usually not a fan. This dish used cork screw shaped pasta and it was moist and not stuck together. I had to share a photo of it with Sweetie who is in Tokyo right now. Doc liked the pimento for the cornbread. As it was almost 9 pm we decided to pass on the boat ride but just walk on the other side with shops and more eateries. We're back on the road again tomorrow to Arizona.
