The Barbecue Station

Barbecue Restaurant The result is the best barbecue in all of South Texas. At the Barbecue Station you will find all the traditional meats and side dishes.

In 1992 the Peacock family bought an old Exxon station with one purpose in mind – to create in San Antonio the same great barbecue that can be found in some of the small towns across Texas. What you won’t find are fancy tablecloths and all the non-barbecue items found in so many of the chain BBQ restaurants. If what you’re looking for is authentic wood smoked barbecue where all the sides are made
