2M Smokehouse

2M Smokehouse has been rated one of the top BBQ spots in San Antonio Texas Monthly even highlighted them in 2017.so I was excited to try it. The food itself had some strong points: the ribs were outstanding, and the brisket had good flavor, though it was a little dry. The BBQ sauce was very different from traditional sauces more oil-based than thick but unique.The macaroni was ok not to creamy but not to thick but was ok.The pickles were really good The experience outside, however, was challenging. I had to wait in line for about an hour and a half in the heat with no shade, umbrellas, or covering. Most people in line looked uncomfortable, and standing with my back to the sun the whole time made the wait tougher. Once they opened, several menu items sold out quickly, and the line moved slowly. Inside, the seating area with AC was small, and most of the seating was outside, which wasn’t ideal given the heat. It also seems like a family run operation, which may explain the slower pace. I truly respect that it’s great to see a family working together and putting in the effort. Overall, the ribs alone are worth trying, but be prepared for a long wait, limited shade, and items running out early.

This is such a cool spot! Some of the best BBQ I’ve had. The smoked turkey was our favorite out of the ribs and brisket. Which was shocking to all of our group in a good way! The brisket Mac n’ cheese was incredible. If I’m not mistaken, they said that was either new, or temporary, if it’s temporary then they need to make it a staple because personally that was my favorite. Mouth watering the whole time!

Heard a lot about this place so I had to try and my experience wasn't the best. $59 for 3 sandwiches, 2 sides, and 2 drinks. The brisket was pretty dry and flavorless, pulled pork was a bit better. Elote was good but just a little salty. The bbq sauce almost had a syrup texture, the taste wasn't my preference and I usually enjoy vinegar based sauces. The pickles had A LOT of dill on them but I only tasted vinegar and spiciness. The egg salad had a weird aftertaste. I liked the cream sodas. The parking lot is terrible! Holes everywhere and limited space. They're not rude, but not friendly either when it comes to service.
