I'm heading to San Antonio later this week and would love to try some
great barbeque(cue) there. I've read about County Line, but it's a
chain and I'm looking for something more authentic.

An overpriced chain to boot. They started here though. Casey's is ok. If you
can, try to go out Loop 1604 in SE Bexar county to a little town called
Adkins and eat at Texas Pride, 3rd generation pitmaster. On 410 & Harry
Wurzbach is the Barbecue Station.

When I'm in SATX I always try to hit Tom's Ribs. There is one at 410
& Vance Jackson but I think the food has always been better at the
original way out on Nagcodoches. It's kind of a sentimental choice.
I ate a lot of ribs there when I was stationed at Randolph AFB.

BTW make sure you order the baked Sweet Potato and cole slaw. Perfect
complement to the ribs.

Well, I just got back from my trip and can safely report that County
Line is some of the worst bbq I've ever eaten. The sauce on the ribs
had a rubber-like taste, the brisket was tough and bland. It may not
be caveman simple to make good barbeque, but even a little more effort
would have produced much better food.

Your CL's must not be as good as the 'Originals' here in Austin.

The County Line's in Houston had to get a step ladder to reach
mediocrity. The one on Westheimer closed rapidly while the one on
1960 hung on. A restaurant is only as good as the management and CL
expanded WAAAAYYY beyond their management talent.

Too bad. The original in Austin is really good.

I vote for the salt lick also but it's closer to Austin. I know you can
sample them in the Austin airport. Don't know if the they are in the San
Antonio Airport.

I thought that Bob's Smokehouse on Roland Ave. had some really
good food. Been around over 30 years IIRC. Not a very fancy place
but some great Q. Just my .02 worth.
