Ron JeramiahJuly 12, 2015Food' good here playa. Sausage is awesome, brisket be on point and ribs are tasty. MUST get the Sweet Potato casserole. Initial wait was long but worth it. If you like bbq, take yo behind hurr kid.
Laura RamosJune 30, 2018My family had the brisket & turkey plates with chili/ pinto beans, sweet potato casserole, & collard greens. It was all delicious. It was busy but after eating, we knew why. It was worth the wait.
Cecilia HarrisMarch 23, 2024EVERYTHING! It was so good, that I didn’t even get a picture. OMG! I had brisket sandwich with potato salad…perfectly done. Definitely happy to support local joints. Keep on getting your rub on!
Jennifer BooneSeptember 10, 2014The staff is so friendly and helpful. Delicious sweet potato casserole and brisket. The chicken was also very tasty. We will definitely be back!
- Ron JeramiahOctober 8, 2021This BBQ may be the best in San Antonio hangs down. The sides are awesome! Sweet Potato casserole is the greatest ever!
- Ron JeramiahApril 19, 2022The Big Bib is always on point and a great place to take out of towners for some good ole Texas BBQ.
Carlos MartinezMarch 29, 2014Want to try something not on the menu? Try the fried catfish. It is delicious. Crunchy on the outside and nice and tender on the inside.
Victor CortezFebruary 22, 2018Awesome brisket, love the potato salad, and spicy BBQ sauce a winner every time, buy all in all it is all awesome ...😀😀
Lesli MackMarch 25, 2016Everything, try all of the sauces from hot to sweet. The sweet potato casserole is wonderful.
Genna SpeedSeptember 20, 2015Way better than any other BBQ is San Antonio. Everything was delicious, particularly the brisket, ribs, and sweet potato casserole.
Raul RodriguezAugust 19, 2017Kool Aid! Meat meat n more meat. For a small establishment Big Bib blows it up with the cooking. Sometimes hard to get a seat. But worth the wait...- VoniaSeptember 4, 2014The barbecue is overrated; The brisket was dry, with little flavor. The ribs, sausage, turkey, chicken average; rib tips notable... The sweet & baked potato casserole sides are damn amazing, however!
Felica YoungApril 9, 2015Rib tips are normally nice and tender but today they were a little tough. Love the sweet potatoes caserole.
shawn sillsJuly 26, 2013BBQ is good and the honey BBQ sauce is really good. Definite must try but not the best BBQ in San Antonio.
Antwan NicholsonJanuary 21, 2016The best greens I've had in San Antonio. You must eat the sweet potato casserole.
Brisket was great ! It's sad that they don't have their BBQ sauce? Poorly managed! Great food, just always out of something!
Some mighty tasty BBQ - Briskit outstanding and friendly staff and management.
- Rosanne MillsMay 14, 2016Had the rib plate. So not worth the price! Fair to say at best. Small sides served with a dry hard slice of bread. Potato salad was said said to be fresh as was said about coleslaw...nope.
