Wanted BBQ today but did not want franchise food and we remembered this hidden gem. The brisket is juicy and tender, and better than anything we've had locally, the pork ribs are OMG good! Price is on par with any other place, but quality is way above anything else.

We love this spot!! Found it by chance but love the food, it's one of our top bbq spots. Good play area for kids outside, and plenty of seating inside. Food comes out quick and delicious every time.

So came for our sons bday. Not packed at all. 3 of us got the Bria tacos, mine took the longest for some reason but was too soggy to the point I couldn't pick them up to dip in the sauce so I literally ate them with a fork. They were good though and had lots of meat. My MIL got the sausage and she literally said it was gross, my son didn't like it either. Two ppl also had cold Mac n chz. We had to move tables bc there were so many flies by the window table smh. Personally would not eat here again.

The food was absolutely mouthwatering. Everything was perfect, perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. They made it fresh in front of you if you were getting tacos or the grilled cheese sandwiches. All of the meat was just amazing and that someone who's from the south the barbecue was perfect. They were super well priced. I now live outside of DC and the price is for the barbecue that we got were amazing. People are gonna say they're expensive but honest to God they are great priced with amazing food. The service was unbelievable. Everyone at the counter was so nice so sweet had manners. They gave you a good rundown of questions about foods if you had all allergies and we're able to be accommodating with those allergies and help you find food that you could eat. They've delivered the food to the table and they were just overall welcoming and kind. The ambience of the place was awesome. They had great indoor seating options so that you could stay in the AC while you enjoyed their great food. The kids had options to go play on the playground that they have in the back or you could sit outside and eat in the back. They have deck seating, which was pretty cool to see as well. They give you the option of buying the seasonings they use in the cookbook which I bought both. They have options of soda water beer, which I thought was pretty cool. I will definitely come back to this place when I come back to Texas.

A hidden gem of a BBQ place located near Old Town Helotes! B-Daddy's is a step above a lot of BBQ places in that it's handicap friendly with a lot of pleasant indoor and outdoor seating, so the ambiance is something better than 'falling down shack'. Service was on point when I visited, fast and friendly. The BBQ is excellent all around - loved the mixed lean and fatty brisket, spare ribs, pulled pork, and the standout was the smoked turkey - peppery and very juicy. Among the sides, the borracho beans were some of the best I've had. B-Daddy's wasn't too busy on a weekday lunch hour, though I hear it gets packed on weekends and dinnertime. Given the quality of the BBQ, it's understandable. This place scores a 5 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either.

Birria tacos
Andrew John D.

Good brisket, terrible service. I ordered a banana pudding, cream corn, and birria tacos. They said it would take a while for the tacos, so I got my buzzer and waited. It took 20-25 minutes before I noticed that the party of 4 that came before already got their birria tacos. My buzzer still hadn't gone off. And no one came to check on us even though they had like 6 people and there were only a couple customers seated. I noticed the boys were just standing around not even near the grill, so I got up to check and the grill was empty. I showed my buzzer and asked when the tacos would be ready. They said 5 minutes. Funny, because earlier they said it would take a while and now it's only 5 minutes. At the end, the brisket was not worth the wait. Good, but not worth it. You're better off just getting brisket at Buc-ee's for a quick bite.

If you're looking this place up and wondering about going, let me just say: IT'S WORTH IT. I grew up in Texas and now live in Vegas, and every time we visit (a few times a year), I have to hunt down good barbecue to get my brisket fix, and several places have disappointed me over the years. This place was a solid hour round trip with a toddler in the car, and it was worth it. We will likely be coming back here next time. GPS will take you to a building that has a physical therapists office, but it's actually the white building around back with the wrap around porch. Enter and browse the menu - we got a pound of brisket (marbled), a pound of smoked turkey, medium sides of mac and cheese and borracho beans, plus a link each of the regular and jalapeno sausage. Meats are cut and weighed in front of you, trays include white bread. Pickles, onions, jalapenos, and sauces are by the drink station, be sure to get a sweet tea. They have combos, including a family pack available, as well as sandwiches (including a brisket grilled cheese!) - the platter I made was about $70 and good for three hungry adults to share with a little bit of everything left over to take home. The brisket really hit the spot for me and the perfect texture and flavor, it didn't even need sauce. The turkey was also great - peppery skin, very juicy. The mac and cheese was indulgent and the beans were slow cooked and delicious, they were the only thing my daughter really ate. The location has a little bit of indoor seating and then a lot of outdoor tables - some covered, some not, lots of room for kids to run around in the fenced area in back. Service was friendly and we really enjoyed our meal. They weren't too busy on a weekday over spring break, seems like a good spot for groups and families. I plan to try their chicken, ribs and jalapeno cream corn next time.

Brisket, ribs, and sausage with a side of Mac & cheese.

When in Texas they say BBQ Is a must! Food wise this place had the brisket, ribs and sausage down. The brisket was soft and tender as it should, ribs were perfect seasoning of sweet and smoky, the cheddar jalapeño sausage. There isn't much service to give here because it's an order here and they serve you before you sit. The people at the register were kind and very polite. My only reason for the 3- star rating is because the place is a little run down, the outdoor eating was not great and the place over all could use some TLC.

2 Meat Plate - pulled pork & sliced (marbled) brisket
Aj W.

Good spot in Helotes for BBQ. Set up like a lot of barbecue places, you order at the counter and then take it to your table. Plenty of accompaniments and sauces to grab. Good sweet tea in large Styrofoam cups. The meats were delicious and the sides were great too. I went for lunch and the two meat plate was more than I could eat. They have a big outdoor area as well for sitting and for the kids to run around. Good spot.

Marbled brisket and regular sausage  2 meat plate creamy slaw and potato salad
Nikki P.

The food is very good, nice kids working, country music playing. Different options to drink. BBQ sauce on tap Server your own jalapeños, onions and pickles. A choice between a tangy and sweet bbq sauce on table- they give 2 pieces of bread as well The 2 meat plate, 2 sides came out to $24.97 All together the meat was cooked well and marbled right. I would come back here- very good and nice service.

First time here and definitely wasn't disappointed! When we walked in it reminded us of an old saloon. We ordered two separate meals. I got the pulled pork sandwich with chips and sweet tea. It was very yummy and had a good portion of meat. My husband got the brisket, pulled pork, and sausage with a side of mac and cheese with a side of jalapeno cream corn and some bread. The meats, as well as the sides were delicious. It was well worth the drive.

Despite not having been here in awhile, this place still ranks high in the best BBQ on our list! Brisket was juicy, tender, and with a bit of fat and crackle on the outside for full flavor. We tried the spicy sausage this time- a mixture of beef and pork and with hatch green chile for a kick- deeeeelish! What makes a good BBQ is not only the smoked tasty meats like, but the sides. I have to say all that we have ordered, have shined. The green beans are fab with bits of bacon and fried onions, the Mac n' cheese are no doubt super cheesy, not runny, the potato salad was tasty, not bland, and the borracho beans were def drunk with beer : D Plenty of seating and friendly service to top it off. We'll be back.

Their price.

Walked in to pay double. My favorite thing to do. Awesome . Creamy corn over cooked, everything else mediocre. Sausage I couldn't eat.

Amazing lean brisket

I looked over the menu & even mentioned to the lady that it's my 1st time here....She said take your time as I looked at the menu, asked a few questions & went with the Wings & Waffle Combo plus Drink for $19.99 plus tax.....I had #22 tag & tried sitting at the counter but I was almost suffocating myself, so I decided to eat outside with the little outdoor seating tables. I told the guy behind counter that I'd be outside, so whenever the Waffle was done to bring it out. Well, it never came & I ate the 6 wings that I had. I was expecting to be blown outta my mind with flavors or tastes that I haven't had for awhile, but Nopeeee it was just some average wings & NOTHING Special. I came back inside to enquire about my Waffle & the young Man from the kitchen came out to tell me that there was an issue with the Waffle & it came out soupy. So I said alrighty then, what ya gonna do for me then? He said they'd give me some more Wings, I said sure, that would do & I really appreciate the kindness & follow through. When they finally told me that the wings we're ready, they must fixed the Waffle maker & gave me a Waffle too. Again, I was thankful & pleased until I took this order TOGO.

So my wife and I are in San Antonio for a few months and we decided to visit all the Yelp places in San Antonio that made the top 100 for Texas. There are seven of them, and Nelson's BBQ (#21) was the last one on the list for us. I call on Saturday after I get off of work to just ask him if he's still got food left and I find out that his hours are kind of non-standard. He typically takes orders and gets food ready as the orders come in but he's not at his food truck all the time. That was a little bit different for me but he was very accommodating and willing to make his schedule work with mine and get our order done as soon as he could. It did take about 2.5 weeks until it finally worked out but the food was delicious. The timing and communication could've been a little bit better but Mr. Nelson was working hard and really trying to get as much done as possible. Needless to say, the food was delicious. We tried the nasty Nate (our favorite), the Mac n cheese which was delicious, pulled pork (very good), sausage (thought it was going to be a little better), ribs (good), cornbread (very good). The best dish was the nasty Nate and the cornbread but the sausage was disappointing. Still, overall 5 stars for the meal. The wait was a little excessive I thought but I definitely recommend checking his place out if it works out for you because the food was really good! Overall: 4.5 stars

The barbecue was excellent--I ordered the brisket sandwich, and it was packed with flavor. This was one of those rare meals where I walked away with zero complaints about the food, the staff, or the environment. Everything just worked. The portion sizes are massive. One regular side of mac and cheese was enough to feed my brother, his wife, and their three kids--we were genuinely stunned. The ribs were enormous, like straight-up dino ribs, and full of flavor without being overwhelming. Every bite was rich and well-seasoned, but it didn't leave you feeling heavy or bloated--just craving more. I tried a mocktail that was basically a spicy virgin mojito: lemonade, cucumber, mint, and jalapeño. It tasted great, but fair warning--the jalapeño flavor is very raw and lingers for a long time. I love spicy food, but it did leave my tongue feeling a bit unpleasant afterward. I'd recommend getting it without the spicy element unless you're really into that kind of heat. That said, they offer beers, wines, and cocktails, and everything looked well put together. The atmosphere is beautiful--green, relaxed, and inviting. It looks like they even have a stage for live music. Parking is plentiful, and I'd recommend parking in the back for the easiest entry. Now, here's something unexpected but genuinely cool: the restroom. It was surprisingly clean and honestly worth checking out. It feels like a piece of history--almost like a restored relic from the late 1800s or early 1900s, as if they lifted it straight from an old county courthouse downtown. To top it off, they have a custom County Line trivia radio playing in the restroom, quizzing you while you take care of business. It was funny, creative, and totally memorable. The service went above and beyond. We were celebrating my brother's birthday, and the staff stored a full Chantilly cake for us, kept it cold, found candles, and even tracked down a lighter so we could celebrate properly. That kind of attention and care really stood out. I'm absolutely bringing friends here again, and I can already tell I'll be a loyal customer. Highly recommend County Line if you're looking for great barbecue, generous portions, and an all-around solid experience!
