Who does ribs best in San Antonio?

[DubiousDan]

What commercial establishment does the best beef ribs in San Antonio? Dry rubbed and with sauce. I like them both ways.

I can't vouch for it but I saw a place on the food network channel called Texas Pride BBQ on the east side of San Antonio. (I don't know if they have beef ribs, or even good BBQ. I plan to check them out one of these days.)

I do know if you're in New Braunfels a place called Coopers has great BBQ, and they do have beef ribs.

I didn't see beef ribs on their menu.

I'd like to find a place that sells the uncooked ribs so I can make my own, good beef ribs are hard to find.

I've tried Augie's Barbed Wire Smokehouse and they have some good food but I didn't care for their beef ribs. They were overcooked or something like they were braised and saturated with grease.

We use to go to Tom's Ribs and I enjoyed their beef ribs except there was too much sauce though it was easy to scrape off. Unfortunately for me the closed.

The HEB near me has differnt cuts of beef ribs in the section where they have the value pack beef. I like the center cut finger ribs. I cook them in the oven because I can't do them right on the grill. That's why I want someone else to cook them. What are you looking for?

I just ate at Augie's last week with a friend after attending a funeral at Ft Sam. To be honest, I wasn't impressed; I had the pulled pork and it just wasn't very tasty. The cream corn was extremely bland. It also seems like they raised their prices considerably. I bought my buddy lunch and it was $23 for the two of us. That's a bit much for lunch. We've eaten there on numerous occasions in the past but I don't think I'll be making any effort to go back anytime soon...

Drive to Lockhart worth the drive. Several choices there. Black's is my family's favorite.
Be prepared though, I don't usually order beef ribs, but I was on my way to Austin one time and ordered my usual brisket and sausage plate and my plate came out to $14.xx I asked them to add one beef rib and the total came out to $27.xx.

Harmon's in Cibolo, on Main St., number one on my list.

True, we go there often too. They dont sell beef ribs every day though only certain days. Not sure which, but they're good.

Yep harmons is good. Never had beef ribs there though. We rented the place for an event and they were really nice and accommodating

Just got back from Choke Canyon. We ran down there to grab some chopped beef sandwiches to bring home, they are so good. Sheryl and Justin loved it. I also grabbed a half pound of Brisket. I asked if they sold just burnt ends and the poor girl looked at me like I was from Mars. Luckily one of the guys came out and hooked me up with a half pound of brisket, heavy on the burnt ends. I was going to ask about the Ribs for you, but I got sidetracked explaining "Brisket Candy" to the girl. She did promise to try it on her break, lol.

Sad to hear Max say Auggies has declined. If you haven't tried yet, Old Smokehouse on Fredericksburg Rd is my go to bbq joint when in the med center. They have an angus beef rib. Be advised, the pit is indoors and everyone will know you had bbq for lunch!

City Market in Luling has the best ribs anywhere. Buy them by the pound on butcher paper. Just falls off the bone.

I'll give them a try and people will only be jealous if they smell BBQ on me.

I think the Big Bib is excellent. It's on Austin Highway near Alamo heights.

If you're doing the tourist thing, at the end of the river walk under the mall is Tony Roma's. Order the bountiful beef. The ones in Houston closed down and I miss them.

This makes me sad. The last bbq I bought was a variety of stuff from Hays County bbq - guy cut the burnt ends off and placed them in a separate pile from the brisket. I told him "Hey, I'll take some of those burnt ends too." He looked at me, smiled, and gave them to me for free.

Haha "brisket candy". I'm gonna use that. But forreal, you know what you're talking about. Good stuff.
