Seems like we are always on the lookout for great BBQ when traveling throughout TX. We found it at Augies. Pulled pork was awesome and brisket was very good. My husband's beef ribs were also good. Sides were also good, except the green beans, which were overcooked and mushy. Portions generous for the price. I think most entrees (served with... more

We went there this weekendbased on the trip advisor reviews and to avoid the Riverwalk crowds tonight. I thought the BBQ was good, their sauce is more savory than sweet and the servings were large for the price. The burger was heavy on the char broil and pink on the inside and overall- just so-so. We ordered beans, corn and... more

I was surprised that our hotel's staff (locals) and another local had not heard of Augie's? Rated #1 in San Antonio and people haven't heard of it?--So, I recommend that everyone read the restaurant reviews for their own hometown:) We just did. Augie's atmosphere is what you'd expect from a smokehouse--indoor and outdoor seating in a very casual setting with... more

I was told before going to San Antonio that I needed to eat at a real Texas BBQ place. I decided that I would definitely do that. There was a place that was right next to my hotel, but I did some research online to find that it was very ordinary. I found out about this Augie's Barbed Wire Smokehouse... more

Favorite meal of our week in San Antonio. Tried numerous restaurants and this was our best experience more

The best BBQ I ever had. Smoky but so moist and juicy. The BBQ sauce is so good but not needed. Great cream corn. I recommand this place to every one. more

Our only regret is that we left this restaurant for our final supper so we couldn't go back. It was awesome. The ambiance was great, the food was so yummy. We each got the 2 meat combos which included a choice of 2 sides. My husband and son had the brisket and the ribs and I had a 1/4 chicken... more

Spending a couple of days in San Antonio I wasted no time and came here to finfd out what the best BBQ was and that is how we landed here. It was a bit of a chore finding it as all of our GPSr's couldn't fiure out what we were looking for (N. St. Marys) but I wouldn't give in... more

Went to this place based on TA reviews. It was just what I'd hoped - good BBQ, atmosphere. Nice "beer garden" out back, so we sat and had a beer and watched some local performers before and after eating, which was fun. We ate inside (cooler!). You go through, almost cafeteria style. I got the Rib platter - you choose... more
