"This was my first visit to Augies. 2 people had recommended it to me, curiously both mentioned the BBQ sauce, so I wanted to see what that was about. I ordered the 2 meat combo with double moist brisket, cream corn and mac n cheese.The cream corn was super thick, almost the consistency of mayo, you could shake the spoon and it jiggled. The flavor was a bit bland, un seasoned, no salt or pepper and semi-sweet. The mac n cheese was creamy but again unseasoned and a bit plain.Now, onto the BBQ. The moist brisket was tender, enough to be cut with a fork, it had good flavor on its own, and was decent, just not impressive. The meat wasnt greasy or dry, it was perfect moisture wise, the flavor was what I found lacking. It was sliced pretty thick, about 2-3 times thicker than what most places serve, and I took away from the tenderness.The BBQ sauce was where all the flavor was hiding. Right away I identified this as Memphis BBQ sauce. It was super sticky, very sweet, and had a molassis brown sugar flavor to it. The suace also had the cracked pepper you find in Texas BBQ sauces, so it seemed like a blend of the 2 styles. The 2nd prominent flavor of the sauce was that it had a ton of smoke flavor, enough it left a taste in my mouth 30 minutes after eating. How sweet was the sauce? My Dr Pepper tasted like water after eating some.Overall, I found the food average to good, but not excellent. The sauce was interesting, but too much like Memphis BBQ sauce, similar to Baby Rays or Jack Daniels sweet sauce for me to say it was really unique.It took 3 tries to eat here, I arrived one day when they were closed (mondays), and another day when the road was blocked off due to an accident.I decided to eat outside which in retrospect was probably a mistake. I was next to a table with a music speaker, and a barking dog. The flies were really bad, and I was either trying to eat quickly or swat flies away.The entire experience was underwhelming."

I really enjoy delicious smoked brisket, and we tried both the chopped brisket and the sliced brisket sandwiches.

Excellent BBQ. Great atmosphere. Good service. The food is excellent but when you 're in the land of great BBQ I 'm hard pressed to write a glowing review, don 't get me wrong it 's good, real good but not jump up and smack your mama good

My family and I stopped at this BBQ place right by the Tea Garden. Amazing, doesn't say enough. The food is beyond great! Chopped sandwiches, burgers, fries, drinks, $60 for our family of 4. So worth it! Cool down and eat at Augie's!! 07/02/2023 View menu

Wow, everything was absolutely delicious! The staff was friendly and really helpful. I tried the chopped brisket sandwich with coleslaw and fries, and each bite was tasty. They even toast their buns! I’m giving it a 5-star rating and highly recommend it. I will definitely eat here again!

Our new favorite and one of the best BBQ places and ambience. We've been to many BBQ places and easily hands down one of the top 3. Portions were good. Brought two plates of beef ribs and chicken combo and there is enough to share with a 3rd person. Decent price. If you're from San Antonio or out of town, try out Augie'

The food was satisfactory, but the portion sizes were quite small, especially for the side dishes. I only received 2-3 ribs. Additionally, the grill was out of service at a barbecue restaurant, so there were no burgers, hot dogs, or chicken on the menu. On a positive note, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere is nice with plenty of outdoor seating. View menu

I just visited this location for the first time, and it’s just as excellent as the one downtown. They had just run out of chili, but that didn't take away from the Alamo dogs. I ended up putting my mac and cheese on the dog, and it was fantastic. The brisket nachos were just as incredible as they appeared. Overall, I had great service, delicious food, and a wonderful experience!

The little girl that took our order acted like she didn't want to be there ?. But one of the cooks and the food definitely made up for it. People are sleeping on this place, it's PHENOMENAL. I was extremely surprised to find no one there on a busy weekend at the zoo. It's so tiny though I think it gets overlooked. Trust me, stop in, you won't be disappointed. Some of the best BBQ in SA hands down.
