3B BBQ Opens First Restaurant on North Side

Live Poll

Do you trust local food businesses that started as trucks to last as restaurants?

3B BBQ, a San Antonio barbecue business founded in 2018 by Jason, Maverick and Chris McClain, has opened its first brick-and-mortar restaurant at 427 E. Ramsey Road on the North Side. The restaurant occupies the former home of Revolutionary Wings, which closed in 2025 after experiencing financial challenges.

Why it matters

The opening moves the business from a food truck format to a permanent location and expands its original limited menu for San Antonio diners. The change also signals a new use for a space vacated by a closed restaurant on the North Side.

The restaurant is located at 427 E. Ramsey Road on the North Side of San Antonio, in the former Revolutionary Wings space. Its original limited food-truck menu included brisket, turkey, pulled pork, green beans, potato salad and mac and cheese.

The details

The restaurant has picnic tables with red and white checkered cloths and a patio with tables. Known from its food truck for barbecue sundaes layering smoked meat, barbecue sauce and mac and cheese in a cup, the business now serves rib tips in a cup and a giant smoked potato topped with cheese, butter and meat. The owners are also preparing to cater Thanksgiving and plan to serve chicken leg quarters the day after a Friday video.

Culture Shift

Food trucks that move into permanent spaces reflect a broader pattern of mobile food concepts seeking stable locations after building a local following.

San Antonio diners on the North Side can now visit a permanent 3B BBQ location at 427 E. Ramsey Road rather than tracking a food truck. The restaurant's expanded menu, including rib tips and loaded smoked potatoes, gives residents more options beyond the original limited lineup.

The takeaway

Residents looking to try the new location can expect a menu that goes beyond the food truck's original offerings, including rib tips and loaded smoked potatoes. Checking the business's social media for current hours is a practical step before visiting.
