One of my favorite spots to eat some delicious bbq! Can't go wrong with all the goods the serve always love to visit when I get the chance !

While visiting San Antonio, we hopped over to Helotes to grab some barbecue! Walking in, you order at the counter and then get a buzzer to grab your food when it's ready. There was some inside seating, and lots of outside seating which unfortunately we did not use due to the weather. We stopped by a shop in Helotes before we grabbed lunch here, and we were recommended to get the mac daddy sandwich. It did not disappoint! A good portion of brisket, crispy melted cheddar, creamy mac n cheese, covered in a sweet and tangy barbecue drizzle and in between crispy buttered texas toast slices... heaven. We also got the brisket tacos which were made with corn tortillas that were warmed on the flat top with crusty cheese and then stuffed with the delicious brisket. I do wish it had some sort of salsa or acidity to balance out the richness. We also go some brisket slices to eat on their own, which were fatty, flavorful, and had a nice little smoke ring. Overall this was a lovely spot to grab some Texas bbq. They do their brisket well. *The Mac Daddy: brisket, cheddar, mac and cheese, and tangy bbq sauce *BBQ Brisket Tacos *Brisket *Sides: mac & cheese, potato salad read more

My previous review was removed. Probably because it was negative. So, here it goes again...Well...let me start off by saying I'm a vegetarian but haven't always been. I love the smell of BBQ. When we walked in, I thought the smell would be stronger. When the hubby smokes bbq at home, it smells delicious for days. This place is more like a waft of bbq smoke. The beef ribs are huge but pricey! I think we paid $50 for 1 for the hubby. It was very great, and after a few bites, it really tore up his stomach. The jalapeno creamed corn tasted waxy, the potato salad bland, but the chipotle slaw and Mac and cheese were tasty. The bread had been opened too long and was stale, and the bbq sauce was almost gone. We ordered fountain drinks, and by the time I went to get a refill, they had already turned ex the machine off..1 1/4 hours before closing bc they had sold out of bbq. I went to the restroom, and while the lights were ON...multiple roaches were crawling across the floor. Our family who dined with us complained of massive diarrhea the next day, and we think it was due to the meat bc my stomach is fine, but I only ate the sides. Save your money and go elsewhere. We spent over $100 and can't/wont eat half of it. read more

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. read more

My wife, Daughter, Grandson and myself stopped in last night for some bbq. My wife had a turkey sandwich, I had a sliced brisket sandwich on a jalapeno bun, my daughter had brisket tacos and so did my grandson. The turkey was perfect and nice and moist. The sliced brisket was delicious and tender. The tacos are my daughter's favorite! The service was quick and friendly. The place was nicely set up and plenty of ambiance and outside seating. We really enjoyed this place and highly recommend it! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Huge servings for a great price with a friendly staff. I got the brisket grilled cheese on the bun instead of toast and it was top tier. The cook toasted the cheese directly on the flap top to make a caramelized cheesy layer. The birria brisket tacos also had great flavor. Definitely recommend read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

B-Daddy's BBQ - Brisket, ribs, and sausage with a side of Mac & cheese. - Barbeque Near Me - Helotes, Texas

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. read more

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. read more

Let me start off by saying bbq is my favorite food. I was really craving some delicious bbq and stumbled across this place which wasn't far from me. I took the gf there and we were saddened by what we received. They were out of almost all the sides with 3 hours still open. The bbq sauce tasted like straight up ketchup paste (disgusting) and all around the food was awful. Not only were we regretting coming here, I go food poisoning after eating here. I was vomitting all night long, and almost had to go to the doctor bc my stomach was in so much pain. It was 100% because of the food, I had been feeling amazing all day! I would 100% stay away from this place, I will never comeback and regret going read more

It wasn't cheap, but the brisket and pulled pork were both very good. I guess burnt ends aren't really a thing in San Antonio. The meal was simple and had a nice family-style feel. The brisket was moist and cooked just right, and the pulled pork had a rich flavor. It's a self-service place, and parking is limited on one side, but there is additional street parking nearby. Overall, it was a good experience with no long wait. Ordering was quick and easy. read more

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. read more

Way to expensive. Horrible food. Barbecue sauce dispensers still frozen. Never spend money on this place.

We've had B-Daddy's before when their truck came to our neighborhood, but decided to visit their restaurant in Helotes. It was lunchtime on a Friday and they had a full house, but the line moved really quick. My husband and I both got the 3-Meat Plate. Between the two of us, we had ribs, brisket, sausage, chicken, Mac and cheese, cream corn, and potato salad. The meats were tender and the Mac and cheese was pretty good as well. My husband thought the chicken was too smoky but I kinda liked that about it. Overall, a pretty solid bbq spot if you're on the NW or W side of town. Can't say that rivals any other bbq place downtown or in Austin, but it's good bbq. read more

The food was really tasty. The brisket was delicious and tender. We ordered chicken and ribs and the pieces were a really good size. The only thing I didn't like was the banana pudding but everything else was a hit. read more

The Ribs had a funny smell, the boracho beans were too spicy and the banana pudding tasted like whip cream had been added. The banana pudding did not taste like made-at-home with real milk, it to tasted funny. The potato salad tasted as if it was thrown together, the potatoes were quite chunky, maybe that's the normal way it is made. The marble beef brisket was superb as was the mac and cheese. The chopped brisket sandwich was very tasty but cold and the sweet Bar-B-Q sauce made the sandwich taste very good. I am a food connoisseur, I love great food and my reviews are precise. The restaurant was very nice and nostalgic, disable parking was available, there was also a ramp, alleviating climbing the stairs and I loved the beer tub inside of the testaurant! The staff was friendly and very helpful in assisting the choices of our menu items. Overall, my meal were ok. read more

This was my first time supporting this restaurant and I ordered dinner for my family for pick up last night and was pretty disappointed in a couple of things. First of all pricing on yelp is incorrect. I ordered 2 orders of the favorite which shows it's $75.00 but when I arrived it was $120.00. Second when I got home I realized there were no onions, pickles, bbq sauce or bread with the order. Apparently after speaking to the supervisor today you are supposed to get them yourself as if you were dining at the restaurant. There was no mention of this to me. Also for spending $300 dollars in this restaurant I would think those items would be automatically provided. Sadly all she said was sorry that no one told you. The food was decent enough but the service is definitely lacking. I would not recommend ordering take out from this restaurant nor will I be returning myself. I had family visiting from out of state and they were looking forward to great bbq. This wasn't it read more

This place is awesome! Great food and great atmosphere, best advice look at the board before you step to the counter they love you through fast and seem to be busy but quick. Parking is easy and spacious. The food is on point, I grabbed the 2 plate with brisket and ribs. I was not disappointed the rest of your team got various things and everyone loved what they got. We will definitely be coming back next time we fly into San Antonio. read more

B-Daddy's BBQ - 2 Meat Plate - Barbeque Near Me - Helotes, Texas

This is a great BBQ restaurant in San Antonio. I'd highly recommend coming in and checking it out. We arrived just as the opened on a Sunday and the place was rocking busy. Service was quick, food was fresh. Value was in check. They pretty much had it all. There is a reason why a restaurant has over 700 reviews and nearly 5*. Thank you yelp for helping me find this gem! With a party of 8 we tried pretty much everything and NOTHING disappointed. The flavors were great. The brisket definitely stood to the Texas standard! The park style bbq with a tot play ground made it step up a little bit more. Do a 6* in my opinion would be awarded if I could. It would be great if the partnered with a brewery. To add some on tap flavor. My recommendation Back Untuned (flavors and quality would match). read more

Came here on a thursday afternoon and was very disappointed, we arrived an hour and a half before closing and were immediately informed they had very little left , we decided to choose the chicken , pulled pork, and brisket , with a side of cream corn, beans, mac, and bread. The meat was dry and flavorless , the chicken was the only decent option but nothing worth talking about , the corn was OK the corn felt soggy , and the bread was stale , overall a waste of money . read more

I have read good reviews of B-Daddy's and a coworker has praised them. So, I decided to try them on this rainy Friday, July 4th. I was impressed. I had the 3-meat plate with brisket, pork ribs and sausage and as sides borracho beans and green beans. The brisket, ribs and what I believe to be garlic sausage were tender and tasty. The sides were also tasty. B-Daddy's is worth visiting for the borracho beans alone. Here's a suggestion: Mix sausage and the borracho beans together. I bet that would be immensely popular. read more

I have reviewed before. Awesome ribs. Juicy tender brisket. Tasty sides. Awesome smoked pork and chicken. Give it a shot. You won't be disappointed read more

The staff was friendly and the BBQ was solid. The environment is typical for a BBQ joint. Stand in line, choose your order, take your tray and grab condiments. The prices were also standard. I feel like something was missing at this location. Maybe being overwhelmed by the rich smell of BBQ, or a missing element in the depth of taste for each of the products that we tried. Overall I would recommend it, and I'll probably go back, I just wouldn't go out of my way to visit this place again. read more

I can't believe I haven't left this place a review yet! We have been B-Daddy's fans since 2020 when their food truck continuously visited our neighborhood. The brisket is always perfectly cooked, and my favorite is the brisket grilled cheese. We've also visited the actual restaurant a handful of times and they still don't disappoint. I love the simple and southern atmosphere with enough space in the back for our kids to run around. And of course, the southern hospitality is a given -- everyone we've encountered there is patient and accommodating! read more

I wrote a raving review for B Daddy's 4 yrs ago. Have been there many times, ordered catering last Christmas etc. However, my most recent take out order about two months ago, which I've ordered multiple times, had no bbq sauce, none of the usual items they've always included - had ordered this for my elderly parents. Called to discuss & a rude young man offered no apology, made excuses, I should've packed my own sauce - never had to do that before. Zero accountability- haven't been back. read more
