South Barbecue sits near downtown San Antonio in Monte Vista, serving smoked brisket and ribs alongside homemade Tex-Mex sides. The space has been revamped into a cozy neighborhood setting with a full bar attached, giving it a spot to linger over a plate rather than just grab one to go. It's owned by Andrew Samia.
Regulars point to the brisket and ribs as the draw, along with service that keeps the room feeling like a local gem rather than a tourist stop. It's built a reputation around the neighborhood as a reliable, good-value stop for authentic Texas barbecue.
