Skinny Black BBQ and More

San Antonio's barbecue restaurant listings cluster in a handful of zip codes worth checking first. Zip 78216 and 78251 each carry 9 listings, more than anywhere else in the city, while 78205, 78223 and 78247 each hold 6. If you live near one of those areas, start your search there instead of scrolling through all 224 entries. Most listings show a phone number, so you can usually call ahead before making plans.

Paid placements are labeled Sponsored on SiteCity, and none appear in this category right now, so the order you see is the raw directory, not a promoted lineup. Pick two or three spots in your zip, check for a working website, and call to confirm hours before you drive over, since details can go stale between updates.

If you run one of these barbecue restaurants and the listing is missing a phone number or link, you can claim it and add what's missing, which saves a San Antonio local from hitting a dead end when they're trying to place an order or check hours.
