San Antonio favorite Reese Bros Barbecue is hauling its Central Texas smoke and Mexican‑influenced sides out to Helotes, setting up shop inside the storied John T. Floore Country Store. The sibling‑run outfit plans to launch the new satellite on Friday, April 17, timing the debut with a live show at the venue and effectively uniting two local obsessions: slow‑smoked brisket and Texas country music.
As reported by the San Antonio Current, the Floore’s outpost will kick off the same night as a Sammy Arriaga with Matt Castillo concert. The operators have not yet confirmed operating hours for the new counter, but fans can look for Reese Bros’ Central Texas‑style smoked meats alongside its Mexican‑influenced menu items once service begins.
Launch Night And Tickets
Event calendars and ticketing sites list Sammy Arriaga with Matt Castillo at John T. Floore Country Store on Friday, April 17, lining up with Reese Bros’ planned first night of service. The show appears on venue schedules, including the venue’s listing on Prekindle, where concertgoers can purchase tickets.
What’s On The Menu
Reese Bros is known for brisket, handmade corn and flour tortillas, queso‑fundido sausage, brisket tacos and tortas, a lineup that blends Central Texas barbecue techniques with Mexican pantry staples. A review from the San Antonio Express-News singled out the queso‑fundido sausage and house‑made tortillas as standout items.
From Food Truck To MICHELIN Recognition
The business began as a food truck in 2020 and moved into its first brick‑and‑mortar space at 906 Hoefgen Ave in 2022, according to Reese Bros BBQ. The brothers’ rise helped earn the shop a spot on the MICHELIN Guide Texas “recommended” list, as noted by Visit San Antonio, and local coverage also points out that chef Jorge Flores has provided additional kitchen support for the team (MySA).
Why It Matters
John T. Floore Country Store has been a live‑music and dance‑hall staple for decades, making the partnership a natural fit for concert‑going crowds, according to Floore’s. If Reese Bros settles into a steady presence at the venue, a pre‑ or post‑show plate of barbecue could quickly become part of the standard Helotes concert routine…
