South Winchester BBQ: Authentic BBQ Experience in San Jose

Delicious BBQ with great price! Loads of craft beer to choose from. Friendly service crew! Love it.

came to this restaurant around 3:30 PM on a Sunday. It wasn’t too crowded, and the decorations were fantastic. There’s a large merch wall and a selection of spices you can buy as gifts, which adds to the experience. I ordered the 4-meat combo and chose the brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and burnt ends. For sides, I went with mac and cheese and beans, and for bread I chose the garlic bread. All of this came out to $42 pre-tax, which I think is a pretty good deal. The brisket was my favorite—very fatty and smoky, exactly what I look for in good BBQ. The burnt ends were extremely salty and heavily sauced. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but they’re a bit hard to eat on their own because of how salty they are. I think they’d be much better paired with a piece of bread. The ribs were a little disappointing. They didn’t fall off the bone, which I was hoping for, though they did have good flavor. The pulled pork was fantastic. There were plenty of fatty pieces mixed in, which made it especially enjoyable. It was noticeably fattier than the pulled pork I’ve had at other BBQ spots, in a good way. As for the sides, the garlic bread was very plain—possibly by design since the meats are already quite rich. It’s nothing like the garlic bread you’d get at Olive Garden or a steakhouse; just lightly buttered with a subtle garlic flavor. The mac and cheese and beans were good, but they didn’t really stand out. One pleasant surprise was the Stubborn-branded fountain drink machine. I really enjoyed the root beer. One thing this restaurant does differently is that the meats are already seasoned and sauced. Unlike many BBQ places where you have multiple sauce bottles on the table, here everything comes pre-seasoned. If you want extra sauce, there are two containers near the cash registers. Overall, I think the value here is great, but I was a bit disappointed by how tough the ribs were. The meat didn’t fall off the bone, which took away from the experience for me.

Authentic Texan BBQ served in a casual but charming backyard setting, perfect for relaxed summer night dining. Yummy fall-off-the-bone pork ribs and slow-smoked brisket with a rich bark and juicy center, sliced to perfection. Both items are highly recommended.

Came in a bit early seeing they open early. Didn't know they only had breakfast till 11 but that's fine since their breakfast tacos are fantastic. The breakfast sandwich was mid but their tritip breakfast tacos are great. Worth a try at pretty normal prices too. Tried lunch as well and it's alright, sides are a bit weak but.

We walked in with our Son and Daughter-in-Law all of us on our first visit. A warm welcome on a Wednesday Evening just as the venue was getting busier. Tempted by the menu online we were not disappointed. There’s a good selection of beers on tap and if none of them take your fancy there’s more in the fridge. For those looking for soft drinks there’s a good selection as well. We chose a mix of ribs, turkey, sausage, slaw and Mac-n-cheese to share. We were not disappointed and with the portion sizes we just about managed to get through. Single serving of the fruit cobbler between the four of us. Give this place a try … it’s well worth seeking out

Came for lunch with a group on Fri. We were greeted by amicable staff, service was fairly quick. Ambiance is unique and you can smell the meat before you walk into the establishment. Restaurant was clean with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It was bustling and customers seemed content. The chicken BBQ sandwich was good, sauce was decent, nothing spectacular but overall good as well as the beans. Berry cobbler pie was delicious.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Never enough bbq for me. Always on point and they do it right.
