Here in town on Business and wanted some good BQue the folks at the Hotel told me about here. I got to say it was worth the driver to get there. Three meat meal with cake and a drink all for less than 20, got to love it. And yes it is good as it looks.

No matter the generation that runs this iconic restaurant, the food and service is always above and beyond. The ribs are so tender they fall off the bone, the sausage is juicy, and the brisket is full of flavor. He even ran across the street to get us ice!!! Never have I been treated with such kindness.

Seeking out a bite to eat after nine, I found Skinny Black BBQ on Google maps. It has good reviews, close by and it turned out to be delicious. Two of us ordered the brisket and one of us ordered the chicken. A combination of delicious sides were also ordered. The Mac and Cheese, the green beans and the greens were all outstanding. The folks working there couldn’t have been any friendlier. Blake, the owner, warmly greeted us when we walked in and the cook was a spectacular chef and an fantastic smoker. He even offered to show us his smoker. Thank you. “T” was a wonderful server. She was very friendly and genuinely interested in conversation.

First off, thank you for taking us being so close to closing—they were out of everything but ribs and we wanted the ribs! I’ve been craving BBQ. The service was amazing, they were awesome truly great people. The food was heaven. Honestly had to be the best BBQ I’ve had since I’ve moved back to San Antonio. 10/10!

The spot is in a rough looking neighbourhood but the moment we pulled up on the parking on the front a friendly apron wearing man(aka the cook) greeted us, explaining the options we had to order. We ordered the brisket, chicken, ribs and various sides. The brisket was TOP TIER, moist and tender, the chicken juicy and falling off the bone 10/10, the loaded potatoes were also incredible. Highly recommend the spot but just as a heads up it only has like 2 tables so dining in, although it is an option, is not what the spot is made for. Takeaway, of course, is the way to go (that’s what we did). As for the main man, Jay (the cook) THANK YOU for the delicious food, whenever you visit Greece make sure you text us so that we could link up again -The Greeks

Simple and MEAT! The Brisket was chin dripping juicy without all that tasteless 'lean'. The Chicken was falling off the bone while skin is crispy! The RIBS! WTH/OMG like something out of the Flintstones! It's about time I find a good BBQ place in San Antonio that is not just expensive sampling sized food! This is grown man sized food! P. S. Bobby was great!
