Burnt Bean Co. In Seguin Takes the Crown as Number 1 BBQ Joint In The State
In a state where barbecue is practically a religion, Burnt Bean Co. in Seguin just claimed the holy grail: Texas Monthly has officially named it the #1 barbecue joint in Texas for 2025.
That’s right — out of hundreds of pitmasters across the Lone Star State, a small-town gem less than an hour from San Antonio has taken top honors. And locals aren’t surprised.
š What Makes Burnt Bean Co. the Best?
Co-owners Ernest Servantes and David Kirkland have earned national recognition for their craft. From brisket that melts like butter to house-made sausages and creative sides, Burnt Bean Co. delivers bold flavor with serious attention to detail.
Here’s what sets them apart:
-
Mesquite-smoked brisket that’s tender, bark-heavy, and perfectly seasoned
-
Scratch-made sides like Mexican street corn and poblano mac & cheese
-
A menu that changes often but never disappoints
-
Lines out the door every weekend—for good reason
Their commitment to craft and consistency has not only drawn massive fanfare but also helped put Seguin squarely on the map for food lovers.
š But San Antonio’s BBQ Scene Is Holding Its Own
San Antonio didn’t just sit this one out. Two local favorites also made Texas Monthly’s Top 50 list, proving the city’s smoke game is strong:
-
2M Smokehouse – A staple in SA, known for its barbacoa burnt ends and housemade pickles.
-
Reese Bros Barbecue – Bringing West Texas flair to Southtown with smoked turkey, brisket tacos, and jalapeño cheddar sausage.
With three top-rated BBQ joints within an hour of each other, the greater San Antonio area is quickly becoming a must-visit destination for meat lovers across the state.
š Why This Matters for the Region
Beyond the bragging rights, recognition from Texas Monthly often brings a major boost in tourism, economic activity, and even homebuyer interest to surrounding communities. Here’s how:
-
More foot traffic to Seguin and San Antonio means growth for small businesses.
