Texas Monthly spotlights Reese Bros Barbecue on new list

San Antonio barbecue is no stranger to praise, with the likes of 2M Smokehouse and Curry Boys BBQ receiving national recognition. A new-ish local barbecue joint received some love in a mention on the latest list from a prestigious source. 

Since it opened in 2022, Reese Bros Barbecue has become known for its Central Texas style, which borrows influences from Mexican cooking. Pitmasters Nick and Elliott Reese and Gabriel Perez have collaborated on a menu that brings folks from all over to the humble property located along I-37, just a few blocks down from the Alamodome. 

If you’re unfamiliar with the offerings, now’s a great time to try the Reese Bros brisket or some pork spare ribs. The queso fundido smoke sausage, which comes perfectly sliced, is a clear example of the type of fusion you’ll find at the barbecue spot. If you’re in the mood for something a little on the lighter side, turkey breast is also an option. 

Do not skip out on the sides, especially the poblano mac and cheese, which offers a touch of flavorful heat to a classic dish. All the pickles, tortillas, and barbecue sauce are made in-house, so everything has that special Reese Bros touch. 

“…the results have been incredible,” said Texas Monthly writer Daniel Vaughn.
