San Antonio\u2019s South BBQ has officially opened the doors of its new location at 2100 N. Main Avenue, marking a major milestone for pitmaster and owner Andrew Samia.<\/p>\n

The restaurant\u2019s original South Side location, 2011 Mission Road, debuted in 2018, but closed this January, kicking off the months-long site relocation effort that culminated with its recent relocation to the Monte Vista Historic District. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been a journey getting to this new space, but I think the journey itself, as well as the people involved, are what make it so special,\u201d said Samia, who\u2019s also a partner in San Antonio\u2019s Curry Boys chain. \u201cI feel like this restaurant is finally a representation of who I am.\u201d<\/p>\n

South BBQ may have a new location, but the menu remains true to its root: post oak-smoked meats, barbecue tacos, stacked sandwiches and scratch-made sides such as borracho beans and creamed elote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The relocation has been more than three years in the making, according to Samia. He originally pursued purchasing the building himself, going as far as commissioning renderings, but was unable to secure a deal. When the property later sold to real-estate company Headwall Investments, the new ownership embraced his vision.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey said, \u2018We love that idea, tell him we\u2019ll build it for him,\u2019\u201d Samia said. \u201cSo they literally built me my dream restaurant and I could not be more grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Samia and his wife Rachel \u2014 who also creates all of the restaurant\u2019s desserts \u2014 spent months refining every detail, intent on crafting a space that reflected their shared vision. General manager Brandee Rosas shepherded the project through its buildout and oversaw staffing and logistics.<\/p>\n

The pitmaster said those efforts will be evident on the plate. He continues to personally trim and smoke every brisket served at both South BBQ and Curry Boys.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlmost 15 years into being a restaurant owner in San Antonio, we couldn\u2019t be more proud and excited to share our craft and this space with the community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

South BBQ is open 11 a.m.-10 p.m. seven days a week. <\/p>\n
