I wanted to try out some Texas BBQ while I was visiting some family as a Californian. It's the one…read morething I wanted to try before heading back so I ordered quite a few things: the rib plate with mac and cheese and baked beans, a jalapeno pepper sausage, a "chosen" sandwich (which I believe was rib meat + sausage), and a side of potato salad. I really enjoyed the ribs and the sausage. Both were very smoky and fresh (despite coming in closer to closing time) and the ribs had a hint of sweetness. I think that's the Memphis style BBQ poking through. I thought the sides were just okay. The baked beans were a little too sweet for my taste, the mac and cheese wasn't cheesy enough, and the potato salad was fine. I'm giving this place four stars because what I came here, the meats, were really well seasoned and the staff was very friendly. They even gave my cousin an additional side for free. One final thing, it's a little unassuming as it lives right next to a gas station but the inside is still a decent size with seating.

She had a sliced brisket sandwich. The food was all very good. They use huge chicken pieces.The servings were very large for everything. The people running the restaurant were very friendly. They wore T-shirts with the logo on the front that said on the back that it was Memphis style. This location has been several different kinds of restaurant over the years. Porky J's has totally redone the interior. It is really nice and comfortable. I am happy that we now have a really close barbecue place next to us. I'll be back!

Had a great lunch bread at the brickyard. We had a bbq itch and this place is close to work. Came…read morearound 11:15 am and it was pretty empty. Off the bat, staff were super friendly and happy to answer questions. We ended up splitting a loaded brisket baked potato and the brisket sandwich plate. The potato comes on its own. The sandwich plate came with a side and a drink. We got the cream corned and the pinto beans. The potato was great! Nicely loaded and HOT. The brisket sandwich was also good! Brisket was tender and delicious. Their bbq sauce is excellent as well. The creamed corn was ok. The pinto beans had a nice flavor. The extra side cost us $4 which was kinda pricey for what we got. The restaurant was clean and had plenty of parking. There's also a bar next door. Stop by for some tasty bbq!

I got my order to go, and wow! This place is the real deal. The brisket literally melts in your…read moremouth. Some of the best I've had. Who would've thought I'd find BBQ this good in the Medical Center? I usually love BBQ sauce, but the dry rub on the chicken was so flavorful that I didn't even need it. The chicken was not greasy at all, just perfectly smoked and packed with flavor. Awesome. The potato salad? Also awesome. Great texture. It wasn't too mushy, not too hard. The creamed corn was sweet but not overly so, just rich and delicious. And the pinto beans? Perfectly cooked, just the right amount of flavor. Oh, and the sausage? Addictive. That peppery kick keeps me going back for more. I can't stop snacking on the leftovers straight from the fridge. Everything was packed up well for takeout, and honestly, I can't find a single flaw with this place. If you love BBQ, go here. Now.

We went to San Antonio for my son's Boot Camp graduation for the Air Force. The first day we were…read morehere, we wanted to try some Texas BBQ and found this place. I ordered the one meat plate with cole slaw and bacon cheddar potatoes and it was yummy. The coleslaw was just right on the sweetness and the potatoes were buttery and cheesy with chives and a little bacon. My mom ordered the pork belly burnt ends. They were sweet and savory with a nice BBQ flavor. She ordered the green beans and creamed corn. The green beans had a smoky taste and the corn was sweet and creamy. My son who is now an Airman wanted to try Smokey Mo's so we returned. This time, I ordered the two meat plate with smoked turkey and had to get the pork belly burnt ends. My sides were a green salad and creamy potato salad. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants some good ole' Texas barbecue. The staff was nice and the restaurant was comfy and cozy. Try the BIG RED soda in a bottle or Agave creme soda from the soda fountain. My mom paid $136 dollars total with a military discount for seven people. Please go to Smokey Mo's! It will not disappoint.

The jalapeños sausage has no bite. Honestly- I'm disappointed but it is what it is. It's not bad folks but I'm sure there's better in a place like San Antonio! In health and happiness! Cheers! Danny

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.

I would hear so many great things but now that I tried this myself I truly question people's standards. I've never in my life have had to add salt to brisket.... Brisket was 1/5 fat and borderline flavorless. The pulled pork was decent. Surprisingly though I did enjoy their creamed corn and green beans. They also have this watery sauce which is a very sweet BBQ sauce which I did not enjoy. It reminded me of a sweet and sour sauce.
