For dinner, I had St. Louis Pork Ribs and 2nd Cut Brisket from the BBQ platter. The St. Louis Pork Ribs were tender and well seasoned. The 2nd Cut Brisket was listed as a limited item on the menu, so I had high expectations and ordered it. The meat was really tender, but the portion was small. The regular Brisket is more like Lean Brisket, so I'll have to try Lean Brisket next time. The restaurant has a good vibe, the staff is friendly, and the food is delicious, so I plan to visit again next time. read more

Came here to have some Texas bbq . However it wasn't the best bbq , I've had better . My brisket and fries were cold and the chicken was too dry . The coleslaw was good . The house bread was delicious. One of the best breads I've ever had . It was soft and warm . Unfortunately I would not recommend this place . Also we were also here during their slow peak time . I feel as if my food should had been better . The food came out super quick also . read more

We attended a conference this week, and have ate at many places. This by far is the best food and service we have had. I highly recommend. Pati (Patricia) , our sever was the best hostess we have had all week, very attentive, thorough and extremely kind. She made the dining experience memorable. If you catch yourself I. San Antonio, and want some really good BBQ, go here and do yourself a favor and ask for Pati! read more

Looking for some Texas bbq in San Antonio near my hotel, Yelp recommended this place. I was a little hesitant at first and actually circled the Riverwalk before finally coming here. Being a single diner looks lonely but at least I wasn't ignored by staff so that's always a plus. Lighting was a little dark and woody. And I was seated at a booth by the bar so I got to hear the bartender and servers banter. I ordered the 2 meat platter: brisket and pork ribs (upcharge for ribs) and a margarita because it's San Antonio. The drink was good. Finished it too quickly and wanted another! The food was good. Tasty and meat fell off the bone. So why not 5 stars? I later found out I should have eaten bbq in Austin. San Antonio is better for Tex-Mex food. The food was good but not mind blowing and that is why. I would eat there again, though. read more

The County Line - 2 meat platter with a margarita! Collard greens and fries as the side. - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Food is cold, the meat in the ribs needs to be knifed down to get it off the bones, it was so hard. No flavor, very salty and dry. Sides are terrible, again no flavor. Service is very poor and slow, very slow and there were like 8 customers in the place at the time. Basically they should get out of the famous Riverwalk. This restaurant does not belong to a reputable, historic, gorgeous location. Maybe just shutdown altogether. I am usually very fair when I do reviews, but I cannot find any words nice enough for this establishment. I wasted my money and when you are celebrating one of the most beloved moments in your life like, a 40th Anniversary... this place will be the one to be remembered a portion of the celebration that ruined it. Go to Pinkerton's down the street across the Riverwalk. We went to make up the bad experience and boy, Pinkerton's is what Texas BBQ is all about! Sooooo good and yes, all meats are falling off the bones. We actually went again the next day. This is a portion of the celebration that added what was taken away by the other place. If you're at the Riverwalk, try them both... you'll see what I mean. read more

Dry ribs. Brisket ok. Slaw needs work. Liked the sausage, bread and mac and cheese. Great location, but all the river walk restaurants have that. Good service. read more

We came here for lunch today and it was a great experience - good food and great service. We would come back when we are in the area

County Line is my first experience with Texas BBQ but I was disappointed by the meat quality. I've had better BBQ in the Seattle area. The location is highly convenient since it's on the Riverwalk but there might be better BBQ not in the most touristy area of San Antonio. Food I got a 3 meat BBQ platter with sausage, 2nd cut brisket, and pork ribs (ribs are extra $5.99 substitution). The ribs substitution was not worth it. You get 3 ribs that are fairly dry and also burnt on the edges. The brisket was not fatty and was lean even though ordered the marbled cut. The sausages were actually my favorite meat and had a nice spicy kick to it. The barbecue sauces were pretty good as well. Atmosphere There is plenty of indoor and outdoor sitting. The indoor was a little cooler than the outside but it wasn't very clean in my opinion. Everything had a slight stick to it and there were flies hanging around my food. The noise level was not that loud though. Very casual and nice Texas decor. Pricing Prices were average for BBQ from my experience but this was my first time in Texas and getting BBQ here. The price point was not worth the quality though. Service The servers and staff were friendly and helpful in answering my questions. Food and drinks came out fast. Other Located in the heart of the Riverwalk so you'll have to walk to get here. Not a lot of parking around. read more

Ordered via GrubHub which went very well. Brisquet was flavorable, but dry (did not see an option to order 'moist').Potato salad was pretty good. The homemade bread was not really worth it. The cole 'slaw' was more like cole 'chunks'. There were pieces as large as an egg! Okra was great! read more

Alright BBQ if you're from somewhere that doesn't have BBQ I guess. The wait staff was friendly and the place was clean. I wish the BBQ was better. Ordered wet, not lean, brisket and got beef jerky. They brought out some more brisket but you could tell they trimmed the dry pieces off before they brought it out. The smoked turkey was okay but again nothing special. $100 for a family of 4 and would have been better off going to Whataburger. read more

Located right on the Riverwalk. Great location. Good service. We ate right next to the canal. BBQ was adequate. Had the brisket and sausage combo. Also had their homemade bread which was good. There are other BBQ joints in San Antone that are better, but they're not necessarily located at the Riverwalk. read more

The County Line - Brisket Tacos - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We ordered the Friday special yesterday - pulled pork sandwiches w/a side of beans and a side of collard greens (me) and fries (my husband). The amount of salt in the sandwiches and sides was over the top. So much so the natural flavors were masked. We wanted to eat along the River Walk - most of the restaurants there were chains (Hard Rock, Rain Forest Cafe - ugh) or low-rated places. We should've taken the advice of a local and gone to the north end of town for bbq. We gave County Line a shot, despite only 3 stars on Yelp. I would not return. read more

Ambience is great for a traditional Texas BBQ spot, nice seating right by the riverwalk. Fast service. The brisket was sadly dry, but the turkey was juicy and the coleslaw/potato salad were classic. I always love the fresh bread! read more

It's what you expect from a restaurant situated within a tourist trap. Don't do what I did and order the tacos at a restaurant that "specializes in bbq" because you will be severely disappointed. The meat was dry and lacked flavor. I even had to assemble the tacos myself. Everyone else at my table didn't particularly like their order and didn't finish it. Food quality didn't meet our standards. Service was a bit slow despite there not being a lot of customers. You can either dine inside or outside next to the river. read more

I'm typically a bit of a food snob. I enjoy all of our new little spots named Noun & Noun with a hipster vibe and line out the door. But folks, that ain't working for barbecue. Whenever I show up to a new barbecue joint, the first thing I do is survey the restaurant. If I see drinks being served out of mason jars, I take my family and leave. That's the first sign that I'm about to pay 35 dollars for three thin slices of brisket served on top of a cutting board with two table spoons of potato salad. The other options for barbecue require you to stand outside in the heat for 45 minutes in the morning because they are going to sell out of their best items by 12:30. But barbecue is best served at lunch and dinner. The County Line delivers. The food is great, the portions are generous, and their beef ribs are always in supply. The County Line is hipper than Noun & Noun. I just moved back to the SA metro, and I cannot wait to go back and order a Big Daddy. IYKYK. read more

Amazing!! My husband and I ate at several restaurants on the river walk, and this was a standout. We upgraded for their homemade bread, which was delicious, and each had a two-meat combo meal. The meat, the sides, their sauces - everything was so so good. The service was great, waitress was very kind and they turned on the heater when they saw I was cold. And can't beat the view! We sat right along the river and it was perfect. read more

We got here 10 minutes before opening (oops!) and they seated us anyway. Of course it was quiet, but the ambiance was country western. I could imagine it could be right when full, but we had no problem. Our waitress, Patricia, was soft spoken and kind and gave good recommendations and local info about the food. We got the pulled pork sandwich with collared greens and baked beans, and stuffed baked potato. All the food was yummy and hot and good-sized portions. Food came out quick, and, again, Patricia checked in with us to make sure everything was good. read more

We went here for the 1st time from a recommendation. We had a reservation and were seated promptly on the river walk outside. We were greeted by Luis. Who offered drink and appetizer recommendations. I selected a margarita in a signature boot as a souvenir. We ordered the plate for 2 with 5 meats and 2 double sides. Ae chose potato salad and Mac and cheese . Both were yummy. We ordered coleslaw also because we think it goes great with Barbecue. Everything was wonderful. Luis was attentive with water and condiments. We got extra sauce because the brisket was a bit dry but not complaining. Our sides were huge . I think it should have been called barbecue for 4 because we heffed 2 togo containers home. The potions were great the service from Luis was wonderful and the river walk was lively. We will be back. read more

Brisket was bland no smoke ring very disappointing. Mac and cheese was average sausage was good chips and queso was good potato salad good

1st of all I have to say the servers & Mgt. were AWESOME! 5/5 The Pros: Wings: original Buffalo were saucy sweet with a little kick. I had never tasted wings like this! 5/5 Bacon Cheeseburger: great as always. The bread & bacon were standouts! 5/5 Mac & cheese: was creamy and tasty. 5/5 Brisket taco: a good helping of smoky brisket with all the trimmings. 5/5 Ranch dressing: the best made in-house. 5/5 Brisket queso: WOW! The best! I took an extra order to go. 5/5 2 meat lite ribs & sausage plate: the ribs were so fall off the bone good! Sausage was good too. 5/5 Cons: that there aren't more Couny Lines in Texas & that there aren't more General managers like at this store. read more

The BBQ tasted like lighter fluid. It was awful. Don't go here Bill Millers is better.

Decent spot. The location is fantastic! Being on the river walk and staff are super friendly. The food was ok. Not bad if you're in the area and need a quick bite on the river + some drinks. A really cool and unique vibe. I'd recommend eating outside if able. read more

I got the Dino ribs, Mac and cheese, and the potato salad. The Dino ribs were great, a deep smoky flavor,with great fatty richness to it and a good bbq sauce on the side, just smelling it would make a vegan change their ways. The Mac and cheese was good, not great, had an out of the box feeling to it, but like one of the expensive boxes. The potato salad was not seasoned well enough. This location could not be better. A beautiful view of the river. This place is located right on the Riverwalk next to many other restaurants and shops. The service is this restaurant's downfall. Our waiter only checked on us once or twice and when we were done I had to go inside and remind him we were still there and needed the bill. read more

Some friends and I visited the riverwalk for the weekend and were looking for a bbq lunch to cure our hangovers. The County Line was within walking distance and had a nice big, air conditioned dining room, perfect! We ended up sharing the bbq platter for two which had ribs, sausage, turkey and brisket. The meat was pretty tender and I liked having the two different bbq sauces. The ribs & sausage were the best part. The turkey was meh. We also had the fried pickles which was pretty good. I would have liked a bit less breading. Overall the food satisfied our bbq need and did its job. Was it the best bbq I've ever had? No. Did it fix our hangovers? Yes. read more

The County Line - BBQ platter for 2 - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Although the location was nice, the price was fair and the quantity was generous, I'm dissapointed with the quality of the food at this restaurant. I ordered the pork ribs and the 2nd cut brisket (fattier cut) and both items were tough to chew. More so for the brisket. I told the waitress about the 2nd cut brisket and how chewy it was. She was nice enough to replace the 2nd cut brisket and also offered the leaner cut to try. The lean brisket was better but the 2nd cut brisket was the same--not chewable. Not sure if this was an off-day, but I would not come back again for their smoke meats. I recomnend that the cooks/chefs try their meats before serving it to the customers. Quality control is crucial in this competitive industry. I'm sure there are better restaurants to try in San Antonio. read more

I'm here in San Antonio for a conference and some of my colleagues wanted to go here because "they always go there". First thing I did was check the reviews and off the bat knew it wasn't going to be good. Service: Our service was, nice, attentative and prompt with tasks. No complaints. Atmosphere: Cool aged wood and farm signs that made a light and fun "BBQ" atmosphere. Food: I had the 2 meat combo and got 2nd cut brisket (fatty pieces, more flavor was the comment) and sausage. My sides were beans and mac and cheese. Additionally I got the fried pickles. Food cont, The beans were flavored well and had a nice ham stock, mac and cheese tasted bland and needed salt and pepper, friend pickles were one of the best things as far as consistency and overall balance of flavor. The sausage was mostly pepper flavored and had no body, the brisket.....was bad, it was flavorless. The brisket tasted like boiled meat with no seasonings. No bar, no rub. I ate it with the bbq sauce given. The rating is the price and quality of food. For $40 (tip included) I shouldn't be leaving unsatisfied. And this was my first restaurant of "Texas BBQ". I'm sure others are better. Just disappointed with how it tasted given the location on the riverwalk and the amount of traffic. Eat at your own risk. read more

We went as a group of four and ordered bar-b-q platter for 2 and a separate order of lean cut beef brisket platter. Both came with two side dishes so we got total of four side dishes. Although we technically ordered 3 entree, the server explained to us that their portion is fairly a lot so we listened and after we were done eating, we were satisfied. All of the meat were super tender, soft, juicy and cooked well. I also liked how spacious the restaurant was and the cute interior designs. read more

If you're looking for amazing barbecue and great drinks, this is the place. Our bartender Lee was the best.

I was overcharged by$15 for something I didn't order and they would not refund me. This is a rip off unfriendly business.

We went to the holiday parade and made sure we were in this area as it was on our list of restaurants to visit at the Riverwalk. The wait time was 10-15 minutes, but we were seated in less than 5 minutes. One of the hardest things about eating out with food allergies is there is always a high possibility that there might not be ANYTHING on the menu that I can eat. Well, turns out I could eat the brisket; and I mean ONLY the brisket. Our server Judy was amazing! She made sure to answer all my questions and made sure the food was safe for me to eat. Having someone who understands food allergies is great!!! Overall it was a great experience and would come again. read more

You can't beat the setting of County Line, right on the river. We were lucky enough to get right next to it!! The service was good and well managed. The waiter was crazy busy but kept ahead of everything. He gave great recommendations and I was pleased with the selections we got. The "wet" brisket is the way to go yall!! Mac-n-cheese was meh... I'd skip that for anything else. The peach cobbler was not worth the canned peaches they use (not sure if that is what they use but it tasted like they came out of a can). The bread was killer yall! If we ever go back imma get some bread and brisket and make me a samich!!! read more

Id like to give a 3.75 stars but I'll bounce it up to 4. The Atmosphere on the river walk was pretty cool, the old school rustic appearance was pretty neat, lots to look at as you walk through and wait for your server. Certainly not boring. *there was a funky smell coming from the Bar area... likely a dirty drain, or server well** The server we had was very nice, he sat us by a window which was fun to people watch the folks on the River walk. The Menu is pretty good, lots of options, and pretty decent serving sizes. The Bread is a must order but unless there are 5 or more in a party, stick to a half loaf it's HUGE. The Mac and Cheese was bomb, friend pickles were awesome, Beans were amazing. Homemade Potato salad was very good as well. The Meats, which should be the star of the show, is where the experience was lacking unfortunately. The Chicken was very good, the Ribs VERY Good... The Brisket was not only Dry but the pieces I got were 90% fat, not much to eat, the sausage was tasty and the turkey pieces were DRY DRY, not even able to eat them. They give you heaping cups of BBQ sauce for the Meat tray, and I can see why. Its almost like they knew the meat needed excess sauce, so instead of giving better pieces they just loaded me up with Sauce.. (which was excellent tasting) Not Sure I would come back, as there are many other options on the river was to try, but if you want BBQ, it is a good option. read more

Started off with Fried Pickles and they are delicious! I rather have the chips over the spears but these hit the spot. The breading was great and they had great flavor. We couldn't decide what we wanted until we saw the 5 Meat Smokehouse Platter for 2! It was a little bit of everything which was perfect since we couldn't decide what we wanted. It comes with two large sides, we chose fries and Mac n Cheese (Mac is not pictured because someone was already eating it ). The meal came with bread as well along with fixing (pickles, jalapeños, onions). The serves was great! There was no wait which was phenomenal (probably because school is back in session). Drinks came out quickly and food came out quickly as well. Our waitress was wonderful we mentioned we were new and she started recommending some of her local favs. It was nice and peaceful as the Riverwalk was not busy. This is a great place for a mid-week date or to grab a quick dinner and a couple of drinks read more
