    Special BBQ Ribs
    Christina P.

    Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is a culinary landmark you cannot afford to miss. If you're in San Antonio, Curry Boys BBQ is an absolute destination. Conveniently located near the Pearl, this spot offers a masterclass in flavor that does not disappoint. It is the perfect, unexpected fusion of classic Texas BBQ and aromatic Thai Curry. We started with the Pork Belly Dunkers, which were a fantastic introduction to the menu and highlighted two of their incredible signature sauces. Since it was a Saturday, we were lucky enough to snag the BBQ Ribs special. (Note: the portion actually comes with six ribs; I just wasn't fast enough to snap a photo before my husband and kids dove in!) We also sampled the Pork Belly and Jam, two of their signature curry bowls, and the potato salad. Every single dish was delicious and expertly balanced. I was so impressed that I even picked up their cookbook on the way out!I I can't wait to try recreating these flavors at home!

    Deliciousness one bite at a time. The flavor is unmatched here. It's perfect for a colder SA winter day, but would equally be as enjoyable any other day. The curry is well balanced of savory and a hint of sweetness from the coconut. The service is great and the teams Is there to help you navigate the menu. The brisket is tender and flavorful. The only complaint is that I would want more of the brisket because it is that good! It's a very clean establishment and has fun decor. Can't wait to go back!

    Absolutely fantastic experience!!! Had seen this place (OG location) on Texas Eats and also saw that they also were James Beard nominees...so when we were in the area- it was a must try and it did not disappoint! We started with a couple of beers and their curry queso and chips. The curry queso had such a delicious flavor and a profile that intensified with each chew and came to a velvety "crescendo" as you swallow- absolutely wonderful! Made the beer go down nicely. My wife and I then got the Brisket Smoke Show curry bowl to split and it was amazing! First, the brisket was top notch! Since it was just "the protein" in a green curry dish, I did not anticipate getting truly quality brisket- but damn...this brisket rivaled the best that I've had anywhere. The green curry was absolutely delicious and melded so nicely with the savory flavor of the brisket. While this is an order-at-the-counter model place, the young lady taking orders at the counter was so sweet and attentive. When we went to the counter a 3rd time to order a couple of meals for take out for our kids (chicken curry and pulled pork sandwich), I mentioned how much we enjoyed our experience. She asked if it was our first time eating there and after saying it was, she said we'll give me an extra 5 minutes and I have something for you. She gave us free ube cheesecake with our takeout order. They were light and decadent- so delicious!

    Curry Boys is insanely delicious! The brisket is so tender, not rope like. The rice and a really good coconut flavor and it is not dry at all! They have super cute, unique decor, a mix of retro, western, and alien!! lol I have been a few times and haven't always seen the same staff but they do always provide great service. On occasion I get a coupon in the mail, great place for a great, affordable meal.

    We went last night and we keep talking about our dinner!! The lady who helped us was very knowledgeable and sweet! Speaking of sweet their sweet tea was so good! I had the brisket bowl and my husband had "The Missing Link"... the green curry in mine was spicy but in the best way! Wish we lived closer! Put one in Arlington TX! The restaurant was simple decor but clean.

    I have been wanting to try Curry Boys BBQ for a while and they delivered! The menu is both recognizable and eclectic which had my mouth watering. The employee at the counter was wonderful, and took the time to explain the menu and offer suggestions. I ordered the Pulled pork nachos, Brisket smoke show with penang curry, and a side of cold chili garlic noodles. Everything tasted delicious with a twist that challenged my brain and palate just a bit. The restaurant was chill with counter service and food brought out to you. I have to say I enjoyed my visit to Curry Boys BBQ and I will definitely be back!

    The sky looked gray so we decided to stay close to home. We hadn't been to @curryboysbbq Stone Oak in a while and went for dinner tonight. We tried the Thai Green Salad and added smoked chicken. Yum! The chicken was very tender and moist. Hubby had the Brisket Smoke Show. Dad and I shared the same and felt quite full. Had the Curry Creamed Corn too. It was good to see that @dorpcreamery offered their Ube and Lychee Strawberry ice cream here. Was too full to fit another bite though. If you've not tried @curryboysbbq, you need to add them to your restaurant list. Not only are they in Stone Oak, but they also have a location in the downtown area.

    So delicious! We were told the Brisket Smoke Show is the most popular. We all tried it (3) and it was so good. The Creamed Corn was also highly recommended and it was indeed worth trying. Don't waste your time waiting to try this place.

    Between my partner and I we are at a 3.5 so I'll round up. Curry boys: 3/5 We got the brisket and chicken bowls with curry chips & queso on the side, the meat was nice and smoky and the queso was delicious (but not very curry-y), and the curries in the bowls were not very flavorful and pretty watery. The portions are pretty big and I really really enjoyed the chili crisp (they need to bottle that and sell it). The queso was such a miss would not recommend.

    Casual spot with quick service. Sadly the food missed the mark. Forgettable flavors on almost every dish we had. One of those takes on Asian fusion that doesn't quite work

    Interior - Nice big windows

    My mind is blown. This is one of the best fusion restaurants I've ever been to. The flavors are off the charts and hit every note imaginable. Sweet, smoky, spicy, savory, and refreshing all at once. Every dish had a unique variety of flavors. The menu is culinary perfection. We also enjoyed the kind service and the quaint ambience of the cowboy scenery. PLEASE COME TO DALLAS!!!

    Cute little shop
    Nori F.

    Very good curry, unique dishes with the bbq style meat. We got the Tony Porker and Magic mushroom, which were both delicious. Generous portion, I actually had the left overs the next day and they were still awesome! I have not tried the original location but I would love to go! We also got our food to go this time, but I would love to try the food there. Cute little shop with funky decor. They have a kids menu also, we got the chicken with rice for the kids.

    The $15.00 Brisket Bowl with the part of the Brisket most people will not eat.
    Sam F.

    Wow how this place has great rating is beyond me. No meat was removed . I like the moist brisket but this was almost pure fat. They do not care what they send out. I would be embarrassed to serve this. A refund with a lecture that some people like to eat this crap. We heard another refund being issued for a takeout Order on the phone while we were there. Judging from the light crowd, I doubt they make it much longer.

    Are there any menu items that are not spicy at all (with zero heat)?

    I've only eaten here once, so my opinion is based solely on the one bowl I had - Good Luck Cluck. I'm sensitive to spicy foods and this bowl wasn't the hot pepper spicy flavor of Thai curries - not at all. It had good flavor and a ton of rice.

If you are from out of town and looking for some Texas-shaped vittles or just want something substantial to stretch your meal I recommend it! Very tasty and filling.

We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different.

Checked Yelp for dinner suggestions so Doc drove us to the paid lot next to where all the Cinderella lit up carriages drawn by horses were lined up. It seemed the boats going up and down the River portion of the Walk were busier. While we were walking I had my eyes open for a table with a view. We stopped at Four Brothers. The receptionist went over suggestions on the menu on her outdoor podium. Cornbread in the shape of Texas, shareable items like Dino ribs for $82, plus Pork Shank and ice tea completed our order. Everyone was very friendly. We had an exceptional view and we had more than enough food that we had to ask for take out boxes. My favorite was the Mac & cheese though I'm usually not a fan. This dish used cork screw shaped pasta and it was moist and not stuck together. I had to share a photo of it with Sweetie who is in Tokyo right now. Doc liked the pimento for the cornbread. As it was almost 9 pm we decided to pass on the boat ride but just walk on the other side with shops and more eateries. We're back on the road again tomorrow to Arizona.

    Over-hyped, over-priced, unfriendly staff, watery drinks and terrible guacamole…read more My wife and I had a very bad experience while dining in this restaurant during the Fiesta San Antonio. Boudros was highly recommended by friends, and was the first restaurant on our list to dine in during our recent visit. We arrived at the restaurant on a Thursday around 7:45 pm and were told by a young Hostess that no walk-ins were allowed until after 9 pm. We decided to modify our itinerary and instead had dinner at a different restaurant on the riverwalk, and made a reservation for Boudros online for the following evening. When we arrived the following evening for our reservation at 7.30 pm, we were escorted to a small table in the bar that was next to the entrance to a small room. The area was noisy with a lot of foot traffic. We asked for a table in a quieter room and were moved to a room in the back of the restaurant where it was easier to have a conversation. A few minutes later our waiter, Stephen, approached the table. We asked him for drink recommendations and among others he recommended the "Prickly Pear Margarita". I ordered the Prickly Pear Margarita, and we also ordered the tableside Guacamole. The restaurant was busy, but there were several empty tables in our dining area. After about 15 to 20 minutes, the waiter brought our drinks. The Prickly Pear Margarita I received was not even close to the description on the menu. The ice was melted and it tasted like Fruit Punch with alcohol in a martini glass. A few minutes later, Stephen approached our table with the Guacamole cart. There were pieces of onions and cilantro all over the dirty table cloth on the cart. He prepared the Guacamole in front of us and it looked very unappealing. We watched as he added an excessive amount of diced onions and cilantro. Being a connoisseur of Guacamole, and making my own for most of my life, it was obvious that Stephen had not been trained well in how to make Guacamole. After he mixed the sliced avocados, the diced onions and cilantro, he wiped the edge of the stone tray with a dirty cloth. The onions and cilantro over powered the taste of the avocado. Later that evening, Stephen brought a very fancy drink for a customer sitting next to us. The drink looked like frozen lime juice with line of frozen strawberry and a nice scoop of frozen lime juice on top. I asked Stephen for the name of that drink, and he replied that it was the same drink that I had ordered. I asked why it looked so different and he muttered something about it being the end of the batch and then said "I'm not the Bartender". He blamed the Bartender for making the terrible drink, and made no effort to correct the problem. Later Stephen returned with our dinner, and as he approached our table, he ordered my wife to "move your glass!" Needless to say she was quite taken aback at his abrupt manner with no please or thank-you. In all the staff did not have a very good demeanor and were very sullen and grumpy. Even asking for directions to the bathroom barely elicited a glance and the needed information. Maybe the staff was overworked because of the number of visitors for the Fiesta, but the terrible, over-priced food, did not make up for the unhappy staff, and we do not plan to return.
