Brickyard BBQ 8222 Wurzbach Road, San Antonio, TX 78229

"Outstanding brisket with incredible flavor and the ribs were thick, tender and delicious! Sausage was good and not real spicy. Loved the Coleslaw and cream corn sides too! Got it to-go so can't comment on atmosphere. BBQ heaven for a couple days y'all! Definitely recommend you try the Brickyard! Thanks for the great service Shane!"

"Good place to get proper bbq in San Antonio. I mean, you know things are likely to go well when you get out of the car and smell the smokers. Most of this review comes from the brisket. These folks have top level technique. The brisket, which is quality meat, is nice and tender, good smoke line, and a fine bark. A little heavier hand with seasoning would be welcome here. Sides lag behind. Cole slaw was nothing much to say about it ordinary. Beans were thick and a missed opportunity to play up the bbq seasoning. tl;dr good bbq with a lot of potential."

"I was over in Medical Center and was in the mood for barbecue, as I usually am :-) so I decided to give these guys a try. The reviews seemed good so I thought why not. So my initial impression is that the food is very good but the value for money is where they lack. I got a two meat plate brisket and sausage and the brisket was extremely tender but lacked a little bit in flavor although good overall. The sausage was excellent with good texture and didn't taste too processed. Cream corn was also very good, the coleslaw was decidedly average. To sum up for the price of a three meat plate with sides at let's say Smokey Mo's you only get two meats with sides for slightly more money. And I would say overall the food is similar to Smoky Mouse. The value for money may have something to do with the fact that it's right there in Medical Center but overall I think they need to be a little bit more competitive with the pricing. Food and service wise, recommended!"

"My colleagues and I dined here for lunch, and it was our first time trying this bbq spot. This restaurant has a convenient location within the medical center. The restaurant was empty when we arrived but seemed to start picking up as we were leaving. The staff were very friendly. The restaurant was clean. They have two TVs and this is a plus to enjoy a show while eating. I ordered the loaded baked potato but it’s not the kind of loaded that I’m used to; I still I liked it but it lacked seasoning. Even after sprinkling an excess amount of salt, I still couldn’t taste it. I added bbq sauce but it didn’t help with the flavor. As a matter of fact, the bbq sauce tasted watered down. I don’t know if it was a certain brand or homemade. My colleagues enjoyed their meals. The brisket was cooked to perfection but something was missing. The soda was good and wasn’t watered down. In comparison to other bbq joints I’ve eaten at, this place can’t compete. The prices are excellent but I’d pay extra for larger servings and better taste. I do plan on eating here again but will bring on my own seasoning if I decide to dine in."

"Update: i have been back since my last review and tried the loaded baked potato. It was absolutely yummiful! For a while I was visiting this place every two weeks for the brisket. As others have stated, it is a little pricey (the only reason I took off one star). Yes the brisket does melt in your mouth…ESPECIALLY the marbled cut. They were out of it today so I bought the lean for the first time. I was surprised that after a 45 minute drive home, the meat was so tender and wasn’t dried out. I started to cut it with a knife, but then realized I was easily able to chop it up with a fork. I used it to make loaded potatoes. The smokey flavor is yum yum! They have the best brisket that I have had in SA so far. The potato salad and sausage are also good. I love chatting for a while (when I get the chance) with the two gentlemen and lady who work there. They are direct yet friendly, and have always been kind and hospitable to me and others every time that I have been there. Despite the prices I would still go there over and over again. It’s worth it. Enjoy!"
