Food still great and service still amazing. We ordered moist brisket and received lean. When I came up to the pick up area, the worker noticed it right away and ordered a new set of moist brisket for us. The sides are delicious, better than many other places I've been to. They still have the cart with pickled vegetables and condiments. Workers still come by to help clear your table. Food fairly reasonably priced. One new thing I saw is that they now have electronic kiosk to order food. This made things quick and easy!
We always enjoy eating at Blanco BBQ! The atmosphere is nice. The food is delicious and the service is great!
Having lived in the area not far from this establishment, finally decided to give it another shot. They have a quick drive-thru option, which from order to driving away was about 5 minutes. The parking lot was full and the restaurant looked busy for a Saturday dinner time. I ordered 1/2 lb turkey and half-chicken, which came out to just a little over $20. The portions were fulfilling and tasty. The bbq sauce was great balance to the meats. Added bonus were the pickles and onions. Looking forward to return and try their many other options. Enjoy!
Came early on a Friday night, around 4:30 and it wasn't too busy. As we stayed a little while, it started to pick up. We normally pass by this place around 630 and the parking lot is over filling so we came at a great time! The place is rustic, very Texas BBQ style if you're familiar with it. It's clean, plays country music - every cowboy/girls dream. You walk through an iced beverage area before you order. It has glass soda drinks for the kids and some adult beverages after. You then walk up to a huge menu of goodness! What we ordered and some takeaways from each: - Catfish plate: you can order 2 or 3 pieces and it comes with a drink and 2 sides. It seems expensive for some catfish but I assure you it's worth it. The breading was light and flaky and the catfish fried to perfection. My 7 year old said it was the best fried fish he has ever had. For the sides we ordered fries which were more like steak fries then string fries and the Mac-n-cheese which was creamy and gooey. I'm not a fan of Mac-n-cheese like this but my children liked it. It definitely beats kraft Mac-n-cheese! - Mixed platter: it comes with Ham, Brisket, ribs, pulled pork and sliced sausage and 2 side. You get to try a little bit of almost everything. The pulled pork was by far everyone's favorite! It was flavorful, not overly sweet and tender! The ribs were tender as well and had a good amount of seasoning on it. The Brisket was great! Smoked perfectly with a great rub! The sliced sausage my husband loved because it didn't give him heart burn or an after taste when he burped as he would say. Other sausages seem to do it but this one did not and he loved it! He ordered the beans and potato salad on the sides. The beans were flavorful, tender and incredibly good! It had bacon in it so you know it's good! The potato salad I believe was mustard based but it wasn't an over powering mustard and definitely had a fresh taste! Not like the supermarket brands you can get! - two sliced meat combo: I ordered the brisket, sausage, creamed corn and coleslaw. The brisket and sausage are the same results as above. The creamed corn didn't look appetizing because the look was like what you get creamed corn in a can BUT it was very good! It was sweet, but not overly sweet! My husband hates sweet/savory dishes but he enjoyed the corn very much. It was perfect and my whole family enjoyed it. The coleslaw was a mayo/sweet based coleslaw. It had just the right amount of sweetness instead of being too sweet. - kids plate turkey with corn: the kids plate comes with a fountain drink so you can skip the glass sodas! The turkey...wow! It was so good! It was tender, juicy and packed with flavor! If you've had bill millers, it can be dry and well dry. I forgot what good BBQ was until I came here! They know how to cool 'em some turkey!!! My daughter enjoyed it and she's 3! She went nuts over the corn! -little condiment bar: they offer small extra veggies with your BBQ. It was unique! The sweet/hot carrots were so good! The flavors danced in my mouth pinging back and forth between sweetness of the carrots and some sort of spice! It was amazing! The spiced pickles were a BAM in your face, sour and hot that would make you wanna "slap yo mama"...my husband loved it. I'm not a pickle fan so I had to get his word on it! Definitely a must try! This is a great spot for Weekends where the parents want to enjoy good food, good drinks and a great date night atmosphere but with the kids because they have an amazing play area! I believe they have a live band on weekends too! I'd definitely recommend this place.
Came as a big group and they did not disappoint. Brisket was tender and delicious. Brownie was soooo chocolatey with nuts. And beans we flavorful. Staff was sweet too. Service is pretty quick. Plenty of space for large parties.
Meh... I had a turkey leg that was kind of dry and not Smokey at all. Sauce did not make it better. Also had a side salad that wasn't bad. The BBQ here is usually pretty good, but this was honestly a let down. Big! But not good. Thank goodness for the onions and jalapeño carrots...
Ordered takeout from Blanco BBQ and was not disappointed! We ordered the pulled pork and brisket, and the chicken as well as several sides. The fried okra was wonderful! All of the meat was tender and flavorful, I really liked the pulled pork (my go to!). The order was correct and on time, you can't ask for more! We didn't eat here but it was rocking for a Monday night! Says they have live music, we will have to come back and check it out!
When I was recently traveling to San Antonio for the Final Four with friends, we had to try some restaurants that truly represented Texas including several barbecue restaurants. Our local friends encouraged us to give Blanco BBQ a try, and from the ambiance to the food, everything was good, and we'd definitely recommend it to others visiting the area. The restaurant is located in a residential area next to Hardberger Park under the majestic oaks in a nice country setting. While there is a large dining room where you can order and then sit wherever you wish, and you will have your meal called when it is ready. There is also a private party room that can be reserved which is open for anyone to use it when it isn't reserved. That's where my group of seven sat and enjoyed a meal on a Sunday evening. There is also outdoor seating (great for picnics!) with a playground nearby that kids can enjoy. There is also live music every weekend (6-9 PM on Fridays and Saturdays and 1-4 PM on Sundays). Blanco BBQ offers brunch, lunch, and dinner through catering, a drive-through, calling it in, or ordering in the restaurant. You can learn more about Blanco BBQ on their website (https://blancobbq.com). Everyone in my group ordered something different whether BBQ plates, specialty tacos, sandwiches, salads, or combos. They are apparently known for their 100% Black Angus Brisket (which they smoke for 14 hours) and many other meat dishes. All of their sides are homemade. They also are known for their pecan pie, which they claim is "out of this world". While Blanco BBQ does not seem to have a specific birthday promotion or event, its catering offers a variety of options for birthdays and other celebrations. They can cater to up to 100 people in their Party Room or bring the party to your location, accommodating up to 1000 people offsite. They have 8 different menus to choose from. It is certainly a place that locals should bring their out of town friends as ours did for us!
As I type this review, the best thing about Blanco BBQ is the kids playground in the back. There are rules, and you need to keep an eye on your kids, yet there's plenty of tables outside to eat. As for the food, meh. It's been a while since I've been to Blanco BBQ, and I thought I remembered it tasting better. While there was plenty on the plate, it was okay. It's not the type of BBQ that you'll run and tell others about, yet we were hungry, and it mostly did the job. I did think the green beans were on the peppery side, the cream corn was quite runny as was the BBQ sauce. I did like the dill marinated onions, yet there was little else to like or love. There are other places I would consider though before coming back here. While the food service was pretty quick, the food wasn't piping hot. It was more like "just came off the heated lights" warm. They are great about calling out the orders and letting you know if you're going to need to carry a large number of trays. Will I come back? Maybe if a friend asked me, yet not because I recommended it.
This visit was quite disappointing considering how nice the restaurant looks from inside and out. Blanco is almost like a Rudy's BBQ but without the gas station. I got their special of the day which was a chopped meat plate which came with 2 sides and a drink for $14. I made the mistake of assuming that meant beef but it's actually a conglomerate of their left over meats which includes more than beef. Ugh! The macaroni and cheese side was lukewarm flavorless soup pasta with different types of pasta shapes. Their green beans are also a cold soup of flavorless veggies. The only remotely hot item was the chopped meats. My husband ordered the two meat slices plate with brisket and sausage with a side of cream corn and mashed potatoes. Those sides were better in flavor. I had high expectations from this bbq spot but it was definitely a big let down. The best thing here is that they have a whole bar of bbq fixings that includes pickles, onions, pico, lemons and more.
Now this is fantastic bbq! The brisket comes in your choice of marbled or lean. The lean was not dry at all but absolutely juicy and tender. The recommended mac and cheese is truly worth the carbs. I also had the charro beans,which were perfect TexMex style. You order at the counter, wait for your name, and then pick up. The fountain drinks are next to a bunch of tea and condiments. Get all your fixins and to go containers yourself. If you like the food, don't forget to ring the bell! Sitting outside on theirgorgeous deck or backyard is possible. There's also a party room available. read more
Loved the kids outdoor play area! There are tables right next to it so you can keep a close eye on your littles. Though when we got our food the flies showed up. Wound up having to move inside because it was impossible to keep them off our food. We tried a little bit of everything but the chicken was the absolute best. So tender and juicy it was falling off the bone. The turkey had a good flavor but looked like it had been sitting out for a while as the outside had a slight dryness to it. I really liked the broccoli. It was just simple steamed broccoli. I find a lot of bbq places it's hard to get any veggies cuz most of them tend to be served downing in butter, bacon, or cheese. Which of course is tasty but I like having less calorie dense options. The Mac and cheese was very watery. I loved the carrot and onion mix and the garnish bar. The staff were super nice and friendly. read more
I held off on doing any kind of reviewing here, only because our company has had several parties over the years here, food was still bad, but the memories you know? Well this time I came with my boys, and well all the distractions were gone, and well the food, with the exception of two things was not very pleasing. The brisket was tough, dry and under seasoned. The bbq sandwich was doused in the underwhelming sauce, and helped the dryness. The chicken tenders were huge! The batter wasn't seasoned, and the gravy lacked seasoning as well. The macaroni was just ok. The cream corn also lacked seasoning. The most perplexing of all, but should come as no shock, the broccoli. It literally was just steamed broccoli. I mean lightly steamed, no salt or pepper, no nothing. The only thing that semi saved the meal was the AMAZING chicken! The perfect skin, juicy, and seasoned like someone's life depended on it...so what the heck happened to everything else? I refuse to believe it came out of the same kitchen. The second thing was the amazing condiment bar! The highlights were the pickled onions, and the spicy pickles...the only thing I would ever come back for is the chicken, that's it. read more

Blanco BBQ is one of my favorite local barbecue places to eat! I love the brisket and ribs plates. All of the sides I've had are delicious, but I often get Mac and cheese, green beans, or mashed potatoes. The prices are very reasonable for barbecue as well! They are quick to get your food done and call your number! We never have to wait long. And they are quick to pick up the tables and clear if you want. I love it! I love that there's a playground outside and there is ample seating indoor and out! Such a fun place for families or a fun date night. Sometimes they have live musicians play. So nice! I love Blanco BBQ! I highly recommend checking it out and enjoying a fun place with yummy food!! read more
Blanco BBQ is one of my top two go-to spots for Texas BBQ. I can't recommend their Chopped BBQ Baked Potato enough--it's my absolute favorite, especially when paired with a perfectly brewed sweet tea. So delicious! The ambiance is fantastic, with live music on most days, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. read more
Blanco bbq is always one of my favorite places to eat bbq in San Antonio! The kids love the playground in the back. So many flies though. I hope they fix that problem! It's gross to eat outside with THAT many flies. But the food is still amazing, the kids have fun and it really makes you feel like Texas! Bring your visitors here to feel the Texas vibes! read more

When I moved to Texas, I tried several barbecue joints. This one is the one I will take anyone who comes to visit! The inside is super fun and very "Texas." The food is always fresh and delicious! The brisket is incredible. The service is efficient and friendly. Love this place! read more

First time here. Came at noon. Service was great and fast. You order at the counter and pick up on the side. There's a buffet of condiments such as pickles and pickled onions. Atmosphere was very much like a backyard bbq. There's outdoor seatings with a playground. Self-service with drinks and bbq sauces. Friendly staff and customer service. I got the marbled brisket and sausage. Meat was room temp. I prefer it warmer. Flavor was good and brisket was tender. I wouldn't say it's the best bbq I've had, but it's not the worst. It's your typical baclyard bbq. Potato salad was good and it had flavor, I've had worst potato salad. Overall, I would return and would recommend to families or people who's wanting backyard bbq without doing it themselves. read more

It's pretty decent! We've driven by a lot and finally decided to go here versus our usual BBQ spot. I wasn't disappointed but I also wasn't thrilled. They just didn't have what I was looking for but every BBQ place is so different. Meats were good, not any sides I really like other than cole slaw which is a personal problem, not theirs. Overall it was good but I couldn't say I'd be dying to go back. It's a super cute spot though. Tons of space both indoor and outdoor! Staff are super friendly and they definitely understand great service. Again, just a preference in offerings that didn't hit the mark for me. read more
