Placed an order by phone and I didn't get a detailed receipt so I cannot say how much I paid for…read moreeach item (total cost $90) but I got 1lb of brisket, 1/2lb of Turkey, 1 sausage link and a whole chicken. Also ordered regular sides (which is one serving) of creamed corn, green beans, potato salad and macaroni. We did have to oh at the time of the order but it was ready for pick up in 10 mins. Overall the quantity of food was great. We were 4 adults and all ate until we were full and even had leftovers for lunch the next day. Our favorite was the brisket but everything was delicious.

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.

Cake N Que is a dangerous combination--in the best way possible…read more BBQ and dessert? That's the kind of decision-making I support. You come for the savory and stay for the sweets...or maybe the other way around, no judgment here. The food is rich, comforting, and hits that "treat yourself" mood perfectly. And just when you think you're full, the desserts show up like, "one more bite won't hurt." Spoiler: it won't be just one bite.

This was legit brisket! No sauce needed. I got the loaded mac bowl, mac was super yummy!

Ah- mazing BBQ! Found this place from a flyer that was posted at my gym. Truly this is a hidden…read moregem. It's tucked away on a street behind the Sonic on highway 90. Met Nico, behind the counter, and apparently R&R BBQ is new and has only been open for 3-4 months. Her family has owned The Meat Market adjacent to the BBQ joint forever. She suggested the brisket as top choice and we added a few pork spareribs. $20 for 1lb of brisket, bread, bbq sauce, onions, and pickles , what a deal! The additional pork spareribs were only a few dollars more. The pork ribs were the best I've ever had so far. Literally fall off the bone and melt in your mouth deliciousness. The sliced brisket was tender, but the ribs shined. The pickles and onions were tangy and dilly, and the BBQ sauce had a vinegar base, but paired with well with proteins. She also let us know that their homemade jerky and parisa will be coming soon. Parisa? What is parisa you may ask....a cured meat mixed with cheese, spices, onions, and peppers and served on crackers. Well, I can't wait to try it : ) A Thanksgiving menu was posted up at the counter as well. We look forward to coming back and trying your sides and other yummy goodness! Fyi- to go only open 11am-6pm Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

This is a hidden gem; some of the best BBQ that I have ever had. I want to give them 5 stars, but…read morethey need a serious upgrade to the dining facility. - Brisket (specify moist or dry): really good; comparable to Rudy's BBQ. - Pork Ribs: really good; comparable to B-Daddy's BBQ. - Sausage: really good; incomparable with other BBQ places; might have to compare it to some Italian place. - Potato salad: really good (hopefully they won't change the recipe); incomparable to that ridiculous mess at most BBQ places. - BBQ sauce: pretty good; better than most BBQ places. - Sweet tea: pretty good. - Bean soup: could use some adjustments; perhaps spy on El Chaparral in Helotes.

I planned on ordering Chinese food for dinner again, since my wife was out of town. Then I realized…read morethat I wasn't going to be home until about 8:30 due to a function I had to attend. On the way home, I decided to go ahead and order since I had skipped dinner to get to the function. I texted my son and told him I would add him. He asked where, and, since I was driving, I told him to find somewhere close to the house. He found King's Bowl and went ahead and ordered, since it said on Doordash that they would stop taking orders in ten minutes. Fortunately, I had already told him I was planning on combination lo mein and eggrolls. Anyway, he called to tell me he had ordered from King's Bowl, and I got really excited. Many years ago, on the way home from my knee surgery, my wife went through the drive through and got me an order of combination lo mein. I loved it and always remembered how good it was. Why didn't I ever go back? Too many other options closer to home. Well, let me tell you... This was still the fantastic lo mein I remembered. The meats are really nice. They take the time to velvet their chicken, which a lot of places don't seem to do anymore. Plus, either the beef or the pork was nicely barbecued. The sauce has that little something extra spice-wise that I liked tasting in a lot of food when I lived in Taiwan. I think it is star anise or maybe a five-spice blend. Whatever it is, it gave the sauce on the lo mein subtle boost to awesomeness. In the future, this will be my go to restaurant for Lo Mein. I liked the way they packed everything nicely and securely for delivery. I am new to the Door Dash game, but man I am liking it.
