Still new to SA but cant skip BBQ! This place apparently won award on foodnetwork, but even without that what drew me in was the Pics of real smoked meat. Has a Mexican and even Asian twist which intrigued me. Went with a group and shared a plate (highly recommend to share with someone). They DO offer and can do slices of various meats but the sausages will be 1 piece. They were out of the Texas black but sausage with oxaca cheese was unbelievable! Brisket was extremely tender and juicy. Pork ribs had great smoke flavor and fell off bone easily, asian pork belly- a must try was sweet and savory. The red cabbage salw was more southern as it was slightly sweeter. Housemade pickles was nice surprise but thought it was too tart for me. In a nutshell, GO! You wont regret it.. we did pay a pretty penny for this (about $53each), but it was a lot of food.
UPDATE: We don't have BBQ like this in El Paso...so, I have to enjoy it when I get it. On my most recent trip to SA, 2M was on my "I gotta visit..." list, and it's such a good decision. I think I order way too much food, if there is such a thing - but the leftovers didn't last long from home either. We got there early on a late Thursday morning - pretty much front of the line. That's a true tip - fellow Yelper's have said the line is out the door, get there early. Thursday mornings is a slower day. The dining area was already full. Since it was a rainy day, nobody was sitting outside. On the menu this visit was the pork plate... which comes with servings of pulled pork and pork ribs. I was in heaven... I also got the chicharroni (macaroni and topped with chicharron flakes). Liz tried the nopal, and after trying it I was thinking I should have gotten that instead. They always have creative sides. We had enough food to take home and enjoy seconds. So, if you can't take the food, try hard not to be greedy. The service was friendly and efficient, I wish I had enough stomach to try everything. I don't, not at this age... but I do have every intention of coming back.
We were gonna go try this place last time we were in SAT but we ended up in Pinkerton BBQ which had a long a$$ line, granted they're by the Downtown tourist area. It's only fair we try this one this time since our room is not ready yet plus it was only 20 mins from the Airport Rental car place and it was perfect timing for lunch. The place is a dive for a Michelin 2025, small seating area inside but outside is roomier. Definitely friendly service, portions are big for us as we wanted to try a little bit of everything. We ordered minimum 1/2 a lbs of Waygu TriTip, 2 sliced of Brisket & 1 Pork Rib, small Egg Salad & Pickle sides was complimentary. Everything was delicious except the Brisket looked yummy but had an odd smell and after taste and a bit on the salty side and texture was off, we were kinda bummed out as usually that's one of the beat stuff it was unfortunate but we still ate some of it lol. We should've said something but we were so full like we can't eat any more anyway. Hopefully it was just one off.
Incredible BBQ in San Antonio! There can be a wait in line, but the food is absolutely worth it. The brisket is always perfect, the pork belly is wonderful and the sides are musts. My favorite are maria's beans, but the red cabbage cole slaw has a unique flavor that is so refreshing and delicious. Highly recommend 2M if you are looking for amazing BBQ.
Amazing food. Still the best BBQ in San Antonio (meat only). The sauce is new (to me) from what I remember a BBQ syrup that is unique but I like my sauce with some viscosity and spice. Lol The egg salad was good but bland. The corn was outstanding Loved the pulled pork with the salsa verde sauce. Different t and good. The turkey was tender and juicy. The sausage is old world and flavorfully. Might be dry to some.
I haven't eaten at 2M Smokehouse in many years. I got there right before they opened up and there was a small line. After they opened up,I was served in about ten minutes or so. I got some fatty brisket,pork belly,one link of pork sausage and an 8oz size side of the mac & cheese. All that was a little over $40 before tip. BBQ isn't cheap,but worth it if it's good! The brisket was flavorful and tender like Texas bbq should be. The pork belly was delicious and the pork sausage was very good. The pork sausage had cheese and serrano peppers in it,but it wasn't very spicy. The mac & cheese had good flavor but was very cheesy. The people working there were very friendly and helpful. I like the new look inside. 2M Smokehouse is still the best BBQ joint in San Antonio in my opinion. When you are on the Southeast side of town,make sure to stop by 2M for some amazing bbq.
By far the best brisket I have ever had! And the charro beans - delicious. Definitely worth the wait! The sauce is so good - it is a wetter sauce that is perfectly flavorful. Good beer selection. The team were so friendly - they cut our brisket and talked to us. The tables are so cute and I love the homey feel of the dining area.
2M Smokehouse, famous for their unique BBQ and sides caught my attention since its inception. Arrived on a Friday around lunch time and to my surprise the line was right up to the door. The place is a hole in the wall and has character very made from scratch feel and as you wait in line you study the menu and notice that once your up they fulfill your order as you place it which is standard in a traditional bbq place. I ordered the 1/2 pound of brisket, 1/2 pound of pork ribs, a pork sausage link, their special spaghetti verde and esquite corn Mexican corn style all which comes to about $60 to feed 2 people which isn't bad. The place is small inside however if you brave the summer heat there are plenty of seating outside. Let's review the FOOD, the brisket was nice and flavorful didn't need any BBQ sauce at all, juicy and easy to pull apart and also not very much fat which is plus! The pork ribs are amazing, a bit too much rub for my taste otherwise cooked to perfection! The pork sausage was packed with flavor, filled with pork of course, Oaxaca cheese, and Serrano peppers gave it a good kick. The meat complemented well with creamy, cheesy and spicy Mexican corn and the green spaghetti verde had a nice flavor to it. All in all for the price, BBQ and sides this place is by far the best BBQ I've had in San Antonio. I'll be sure to return, it's no wonder the owners here have been chosen to be in Food Network's Pitmaster's!
Tried 2M Smokehouse and honestly... I don't really get the hype. The brisket was great -- and for the prices they charge, it better be. Portions were solid, and the homemade-style pickles were actually really good too. But a lot of the rest was disappointing. They have an hour wait was brutal especially when many items started falling off the menu, what's the time I was waiting on the outside The meat came out cold, and the sandwich was insanely salty to the point where it was hard to finish. The BBQ sauce was super sweet and thin, and honestly made things worse instead of better. They were also out of a ton of menu items and most of the sides. Only mac and cheese was left, and after trying it... I kind of understood why. They put pork rind dust on top, which caught me off guard since. The pulled pork had salsa verde and cilantro mixed into it. Maybe it would've been better hot, but I personally wasn't a fan of that flavor combo for BBQ. The brisket nachos sounded amazing because of the Oaxaca cheese, but it honestly felt unnecessary and kind of a crime against good brisket. Overall, it feels like they're trying really hard to be different instead of just focusing on making consistently great Texas BBQ. There are definitely better BBQ spots in San Antonio in my opinion. If you go, go right when they open so the food is fresh, hot, and they still have the full menu available. Also, the inside seating area is really small. The parking lot is a mess alone, it rained the night before, so literally my entire tire was underwater in the parking lot . If it's packed, honestly come back another day because standing outside in the Texas heat while eating super salty BBQ sounds like a recipe for heat stroke.
Driving around eating BBQ on the Texas Monthly Top 50 list. Went to San Antonio Texas on a Friday and 2 M Smokehouse BBQ was our 2nd stop. We have placed an online order to make sure that we got some of their brisket. When we arrived around 12:45pm the line was short so we decided to walk in and get our order. The wait inside was short and they still had everything on the menu. When it was our turn to order we told them that we had placed an online order and they went to work putting it together. The brisket was moist and had a beautiful smoke ring. The sausage was ok, and the pork ribs were on point delicious. There are a few tables to eat inside and lots of tables to eat outside under the trees. I recommend you try 2M Smokehouse BBQ in San Antonio Texas
Believe the hype. Awesome bbq. Had the pulled pork and street corn. Lots of food for the price
Overall, the experience was good despite the warm weather. I enjoyed the pork cheese sausage the most since it had a slight spicy kick to it, but I enjoyed the brisket too despite being on a slightly drier side and the slices are kind of thick for brisket which is a good thing. The chicharrón macaroni and cheese was delicious and creamy. The pickles helped balance the richness of the meat and the macaroni and cheese. Overall, it's worth going at least once whenever you happen to be in San Antonio for any reason. Make sure to arrive by 10:45 am for the best selection of meats and sides especially on weekends.
It was about an hour wait but the food was fantastic! The brisket had great flavor, the pork ribs were not overcooked, the beans had tons of flavor and the Mac was very cheesy! The facility lacked a little bit in covered space as we went on a hot and sunny day. It is definitely worth the hype as this place is listed on the top 50 BBQ joints!

TRUTH: I don't research (aside from a quick rec check on Yelp or similar) before dining, much like my shopping (look at the tags AFTER you know how much you LOVE it!!!). What I'm about to share (like all my reviews) is pure, unsolicited, first-time experience with some additional details for your enjoyment & pleasure. In short - BEST BRISKET EVER!!! GET YOUR BBQ PASSPORT STAMPED HERE!!! In case you need convincing: ESAUL ("The Smoke") and GRECIA ("The Sugar") husband-and-wife team have committed to the highest standards in beloved BBQ, earning them distinctions all the way from James Beard, "Best of" Texas Monthly & San Antonio Magazine, ++ their 2025 MICHELIN award. This Monday 31AUG, they'll be featured on FOOD NETWORK PITMASTERS which means best to get in line now before it blows up even more (although there's shade & YETI-cooled water for waiting). In my case, the line moved quickly with JERRY & IZZY tag-teaming trays - tasting notes as follows: COLESLAW - Refreshing in its simplicity - crunchy, slightly sweet & snappy - exactly as my heart desires CHICHARONI MACARONI - Creamy & cheesy with cracklin crunch, touch of black pepper PULLED PORK - Buttery tender & topped with green tomatillo - I'd love to try this on one of their sandwiches with a combination of PICKLED FAVORITES (onions & spicy pickles were FIRE) PRIME BRISKET - MAIN EVENT needs no sauce, in fact could be served solo and make a meal - it is hands-down the best, most flavorful & moist brisket EVER!!! They say "come hungry," I'd add come early if you'd like to try the house-made sausage, TRI-TIP on Saturdays. I might have to bring another stomach (or at least make a second visit) to try the dessert - cheesecake appears to be served by the 1/2 LB as well, and looks just as good as Mom's! Even so, I'm a 100% satisfied customer, seeing full delivery on their promise of "bringing people together" with BBQ that's "slowly smoked, scratch-made, with genuine hospitality." read more

Best BBQ I've ever eaten. Really. And I know BBQ. We ordered: brisket, tritip, sausage and turkey. Sides: corn, mac, slaw, beans, egg salad, pickled nopales/serranos/bell peppers, pico. Everything was extraordinary. Very helpful staff. Funky hole in the wall venue. Pro tip: come at opening 11:00 am on Sunday morning to avoid a wait. My favorites: tritip with pico, sausage by itself, brisket in the thin and tangy BBQ sauce, elote corn, nopales, beans. But, it was all good and you won't be sorry ordering anything on the menu. Even the complimentary onions and pickles are house made. The sausage was almost like the filling in a dim sum dumpling. The pico was some of the best I've ever tasted, which sounds ridiculous but there it is. The tritip is to die for. The brisket melts. Excellent turkey. Bring a group, order everything, and take home leftovers. Highly recommended. Best of Texas and probably beyond. read more

The BBQ was very good here. Top of the line. Better than average. We arrived at 1 pm on a Saturday and waited approximately 20 minutes. They were only out of sausage and turkey breast. We got 1lb moist brisket and 1/2 lb rib. The brisket was very very rich. The taste was excellent and the smoke was very prevalent 8.5/10. Ribs were dry. I think out was sitting out or something 6/10. We got Mac N Cheese which had crushed Chicharróns on the top. The Mac n Chesse was very creamy. 9.6/10 The inside is small but luckily we found a seat. They have a large sitting area outside but it was 98 degrees. We also got pork belly which was very good. 9/10. And the pinto beans were great. Had excellent flavor. 10/10. Def would try this place again for the Dino rib. Overall great BBQ. 8.9/10 read more

Came here on a rainy Sunday so we got our food to-go considering we love less than 10 minutes away. There weren't too many people there I'd assume because of the weather which was an added bonus. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, they moved quickly and efficiently. The food was absolutely delicious! We got the medium family meal with brisket, turkey, and pulled pork; sides were Double Macaroni, Double Corn, and coleslaw. We also got two pork sausages and a pound of ribs in the side. Everything was super flavorful, some of the best ribs I've ever had and the corn was so flavorful it was the best side in our humble opinion. The barbecue sauce was a bit unconventional, had a maple syrup type of consistency and was a little sweet but not a bad sauce. Definitely recommend coming here you will not be disappointed and definitely will be coming back! read more

This review was a long time coming. With my parents recently moving to Castroville about a year ago (time is a construct at this point), my dad was excited to show me Blu Lacy BBQ in Castroville and explained it to me as a spinoff of 2M Smokehouse in San Antonio proper. After trying it and falling in love with its original iteration, I was heartbroken to hear Blu Lacy would be rebranding and splitting off from 2M, and to get that same kick I would have to travel to 2M Smokehouse itself. In late June, the opportunity arose, and with pieces of my BBQ posse, we traveled one fine Sunday morning and waited in line at the consistently recognized and Bib Gourmand recipient, 2M Smokehouse. We arrived at just around 10:30 and luckily were the first in line. Once we stepped in line, it quickly grew to about 40 people behind us. The four of us ordered a large tray and sat down with our BBQ by 11:06 AM. It was also the first place to stamp my Texas Monthly passport, a major excitement for me. I will list everything we had with my thoughts: Brisket: Juicy, tender, melts in your mouth. Your typical craft brisket. Very impressive here. Pork Ribs: Compared to the other giant BBQ spots, these were significantly more candied, which I really enjoyed. They were definitely more unique and special. Pork Belly: I need to work pork belly into my spread more often because I'm always impressed. 2M's pork belly melts in your mouth and is quite delectable. It feels like a dessert on its own. Pork Sausage: This was definitely one of 2M's standouts in my opinion. The serrano peppers had a sharp kick, but the Oaxaca cheese was the star of the order. The link alone was only $6.50 too, so it's a steal on its own. Mexican Street Corn: A definite elevated take on their version from Blu Lacy. It's so creamy and hits the spot. Chicharoni Macaroni: Another superstar of 2M. If the pork sausage is LeBron, this mac is Steph Curry. The macaroni itself is like a perfect shell that makes Velveeta look like a G League player, and Kraft didn't even get minutes in college. The chicharrones on top bring it to a new level, giving a breadcrumb-like consistency to the macaroni. It was so fire. Pickled Nopales: I have no frame of reference for what this was supposed to taste like, but it smacked, and I'd frankly order 32oz of it to fill a mason jar and take home. Coconut Ube Cheesecake: Yam, in my cheesecake? It's more likely than you think. Tastes like the best side at the Thanksgiving table. All in all, the pitmaster was super friendly, and the staff was great. They had no shade where the line was but supplied umbrellas for the eager patrons. San Antonio doesn't play with their BBQ. Don't forget that. 2M stacks up with the heavyweights. read more

If you want the best barbecue in San Antonio, this is it. There's a reason they sell out! I've been a handful of times, and would encourage you arrive early to get the best selection of their offerings before they sell out. I arrived at 11:30 and waited in line for 45 minutes - very popular place, and for good reason. Their brisket is so tender, juicy, and flavorful. The sausages are great. Got the special most recently which was a wagyu tri tip - incredible. Everything they make here is a piece of edible art. The sides? Call everyone you know, they're amazing!!! Homemade pickles (and pickled bell pepper, nopales, serranos). You can get tortillas as your bread for a few extra dollars. Please check this place out and keep them in business. There is plenty of seating outside and a few tables inside with air conditioning read more

I wish I could give this place ten stars! We are from Michigan and had one goal in Texas - find the best damn BBQ. Well, thanks to Yelp and Google, articles mentioning a Michelin Guide and James Beard Award for the Pitmaster, we found our hidden gem here! We arrived just after 11am and found a line to the door, the smells of southern BBQ were mesmerizing and the menu was perfect. The counter service was great, the food was OUTSTANDING, the backyard seating was perfect and just enough sun/shade for a nice lunch in the beautiful Texas heat. The sides were a perfect compliment to the meaty meal... of course we spent all of our money here (over $100 on BBQ and worth every darn hard earned dollar)! The homemade sauce went with everything... I am just in awe of how delicious this food was and I cannot wait to come back! read more
Absolutely amazing BBQ for a San Antonio spot, everyone thinks you have to travel OUTSIDE of the city to another for great BBQ, but no, this place is where it's at! I've been coming for a few years now and it has not disappointed, every time I come it's always a HIT! I'm always bragging about this place to friends and family, there's a reason they made it on the Texas Monthly AND have a Michelin star rating. All sides and sauces homemade, gotta love it. The food is fantastic for this lil bbq spot in San Antonio. It rivals to some other spots I have tried, even out performing in some aspects, but that's just me! Now, the service here is immaculate, staff are always willing to talk to you about the food and location, they're very knowledgeable and prideful! Go out there and check them out, support local, you won't regret it! In my most recent photos posting, I got the medium family meal with three drinks and a half dozen tortillas, it came out to $158, split between a few of us and it was a great price. We got 3lbs of meat and 5 16oz sides. Our meats were: 1.5lb of brisket, 1lb of ribs and .5lbs of pork belly. Sides were: double corn, pitmasters helper (picadillo mac), chicharoni mac and Maria's beans. All of the food here is flavorful. I was bummed out because the Oaxaca Serrano pork sausage was sold out! Now that's a sausage you have got to try, you will not be disappointed. read more

Review: Consistency Wins--A Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ Experience Walking into a joint that holds a Texas Monthly 50 Top BBQ award sets a high bar, and this establishment consistently clears it. The food here is, without exception, very good. While it didn't offer a single, transcendent bite that would dethrone the absolute best places we've visited, the overall quality and consistency across the menu make it a must-try and certainly justify its prestigious designation. The Meats The smokehouse selection demonstrated a strong command of the basics while offering a few standout specialty cuts: * Brisket: The Brisket was a standard bearer--in the best way possible. It was nice and moist with a clean smoke flavor, proving the pitmaster knows how to handle the foundational Texas cut. * Pork Ribs: These were classic, meaty pork ribs. They had a tight pull, indicating proper cooking without falling into the mushy category. Simple, well-executed, and satisfying. * Tri-tip: This cut was a star in flavor, possessing a bold rub that penetrated deep. It was flavorful and juicy, although it was noted as being a little chewy, which kept it from being perfect. * Pork Belly: The true delight of the menu. This generous cut featured a beautiful, sticky glaze that was both savory and sweet. It was very delicious and was elevated further by a topping of bright orange sauce and sesame seeds--a nice departure from traditional flavors. * Serrano Peppers and Oaxaca Cheese Sausage: The specialty sausage was excellent. It offered a great balance of heat and creamy texture, being nice and spicy with a fantastic cheese ooze that made every slice satisfying. The Sides The sides complemented the meat selection with bold flavors and deep comfort: * Pitmaster Mac and Cheese: This was pure, indulgent comfort food. It wasn't a traditional baked mac, but rather resembled something closer to a rich, smoky stroganoff or Hamburger Helper--a pleasant surprise that leans heavily into creamy, savory notes. While the cheese was a little runny, the overall taste was deeply comforting and well-seasoned. * Street Corn: This side delivered big, bold flavors. The kernels had a lovely char and crunch. However, the use of cilantro and lime was a little heavy-handed, potentially overpowering the subtle sweetness of the corn for some palates. Final Verdict This is an establishment that takes its award seriously. Every plate that hit the table was executed to a high standard, demonstrating a clear mastery of the smoker and a willingness to innovate with cuts like the phenomenal Pork Belly. While it may not surpass the handful of truly iconic institutions in the state, the food here is consistently fantastic, making it well worth the trip. This barbecue joint is definitively worthy of its Top 50 designation and is a reliable choice for high-quality barbecue. read more

This was my first stop in San Antonio from Austin! I ordered a ton of food, it made for amazing leftovers two days in a row. I came around lunch on a Friday and waited only 15 min in line. They were already sold out of several items after being open an hour. I paid around $50 with a drink and before tip: Positives- Pictured is the pork belly, brisket, pork ribs, mac, and street corn. The pork belly was easily the star of the show! It had some sort of sesame sauce on it, it was heavenly. The mac and cheese was also a top contender. It had a unique flavor unlike any Mac I've ever had before, almost like earthy. It paired really well with the meal. Also the STAFF was A+! Very friendly and seemed to take pride in their work Critical- Facility could use some improvements. The parking lot has huge pot holes. I was so glad they had a small indoor dining area but it was still stuffy and not too comfortable to eat in. I get that it's a no frills place but it wouldn't hurt to invest in some small renovations. Many people ate outside but there was no shade and it was super hot that day. Small improvements could enhance the dining experience. THANK YOU! read more

We got here very early to make sure we didn't have to wait long in the hot sun! We got brisket, pulled pork, all the pickles veggies, egg salad, Mac and cheese and cole slaw. It was work the wait! The food was so fresh and so good. We enjoyed the bbq syrup too! Glad we got the recommendations to come here!! read more

Not sure why this placed is hyped up. Food was mediocre if that. Much better bbq places in Texas. Even the sides were just eh. The pickles though are delicious. The sweet tea was also subpar read more

Brisket melts in your mouth. Mac and cheese, bean, pickled cucumber, garlic and onions are all amazing. Definitely recommend. read more

Food is good and staff is friendly. We got the week day special of chopped brisket sandwich and beans, and then an order of the pork ribs and two drinks. Our total came out to $50 and kiddo pecked off our meals. We sat inside, they have a smaller add on with a handful of tables so if you want to eat in and not be outdoors better stake out a table. read more

1st off parking lot is jacked up. 2nd line wasnt that long but service was slow 3rd showed up at noon and multiple sides were sold out already. 4th prices for the quality of meats was absurd 5th indoor seating is very limited. Inside looks more like a mexican restaurant rather than a bbq joint. I have heard through multiple people and now Texas monthly ranking them up there. So we finally decided to spend my hard earned money. For the cost I would've expected a lot more. My brisket and ribs looked and tasted over cooked(burnt). Turkey and spicy sausage were good. Macaroni no thanks, beans solid. Eating BBQ all over the great state of Texas i would have to disagree with everyone hyping this place up. Sorry maybe you had an off day but I will never be going back. read more

Do you always have to wait in line? When's the best time to get there before things are sold out?
I've gotten lucky a couple times when the weather is bad, to show up at noon to little to no line and everything available. More times than not though, i get there by 1030 and wait in a line of 15 people or so
Is there still food for a weekday dinner?
Depends on how much you order. If you order the large meal. You would have enough for breakfast, lunch and dinner for several days.
I see under health and safety measures on Yelp that the staff wear gloves but do they also wear masks?
Yes and they are also only doing curbside orders
Is the patio dog friendly?
I saw folks being their four legged family members this afternoon...I would bring a bowl, they don't have faucets outside - but you can fill up with cups of water from inside.
Do y'all still have the beef ribbs?
Gotta get their early, like Tony A. said. I was there at noon, and they were out by 12:30pm.
