I've been going to the Bib for a few years now and the food has always been good.Today I took family members from out of town and they said it was the best meal they had this weekend while visiting.Great brisket, rib tips, potato salad and green beans. ?
I got the brisket plate with marbled brisket, green beans and potato salad. The brisket just melted in my mouth and had great flavor. The potato salad was top notch too.
I will state from the jump I do not feel welcomed at this establishment. For my first time coming here I was excited to get some “Big Bibs BBQ” as it was talked up by my family. So we go after a day of fun in San Antonio.I’m so disappointed in the service that was displayed. For one they didn’t have any desserts for the day, no biggie, they ONLY give a military discount when in uniform. I usually don’t patronize who only recognize military members part time, but since I was with family I decided to stay.My order was given to me out of turn, and upon waiting at the counter I was told “you can wait somewhere else.” Like really?!Once my food was given to me, it was given in a Togo box as if they wanted me off of their property.I have never felt more disrespected by an establishment before.DO NOT COME HERE!!!! I won’t be back!
The Big Bib is always on point and a great place to take out of towners for some good ole Texas BBQ.
I'm not sure if I left a review for this place. I can't seem to find it, but if I did who cares it is worth talking about twice. The brisket sandwich is absolutely amazing. I got it. Sliced not chopped and the house barbecue sauce is undeniably one of the best I've ever had. The people are exactly what I expect. Down home. Wonderful people. I can't stress enough that you have to stop there. One small bit of advice. Definitely get the small sweet tea. You know the old cliche everything's bigger in Texas. Well they're right. The small sweet tea is plenty and it's delicious
Love finding a new place (new to me)... As we walked in we were beautifully greeted. The handicap space could be closer to the front door but it is close to the ramp that leads to the patio and then the front door. Our server and the trainee were so great, they actually point out where the trash recepicals are as well as the bathrooms. Nice touch when they find out its your first time in... They also bring you a little bowl of spicy chips... Don't share...look, this wasn't my cheapest lunch... Im blaming my hunger.. But I had a two meat plate, iced tea, potato salad and green beans so i could pretend I was eating healthy, and a banana pudding so I could know i wasnt eating healthy. The meats came dry but they have FOUR sauce choices at each table. I mixed the Big Bib one with the golden one. It was amazing. The ribs were not the meatiest but they were tender and juicy and delish. The spicy sausage wasn't THAT spicy for those tender eaters but man were they good. Great potato salad. Mustard style. The green beans turned out to be just slightly healthy, well because they were green beans, but I could have enjoyed a bowl of those and been happy. Little pieces of sausage in them took them to another level.... Ok now, the banana pudding.... This was so close to my mothers I was expecting someone to tell me I couldn't have the pudding till my room was cleaned.... A bit creamier though but it had the bananas and the vanilla wafers.. If this was a part of your past you need to make it a part of your future. We will all be back!
It's hard to review a place that has so much history because most people already know of the place.. but this is the place I go to for BBQ they have Koolaid on the menu so it's a no brainer for me! The ribs are always good the turkey is great juicy tender and not over smoked. The ribs tips are the bomb melt in your mouth tender. What I appreciate with BIg Bib they try to gourmet BBQ they keep it simple and do one Hella job of it! Always consistent!
Food: A1 excellent. Service: not so much. Ordered ribs, beans, and sweet potatoes. Received potato salad instead of beans. When I pointed out their mistake, they tried to insinuate that I forgot what I ordered, then said they would bring the correct side dish out. But it never came. And since the server took their tip before bringing my food, there’s no motivation for them to check on my meal and make sure everything was OK. Also pretty sure that none of the customers have come in and tried to take their guns. Must be a Texas thing to live in constant fear of gun control. One visit was enough for me.
First time there. Wasn't to impressed. Small area to eat in. Only had like 3 different sides to choose from so could've been better on that. The food wasn't anything I would brag to anyone about. Brisket was a little dry and needing more flavor. For the price I've been to better places. I may go back and try something else in the future. But not in a rush to do it.
Enjoyed the catfish and the friendly atmosphere!!!
