What’s on the menu Customers can choose from sandwiches or spuds with brisket, pulled pork or turkey breast, rib tips and sausage. What else? Respect and service to its local communities is a signi cant part of The Big Bib BBQ business, Shropshire said. The Big Bib BBQ wants to recipro- cate the love and patronage locally. “Being able to come into a community which is already a barbecue town, a great barbecue town, and folks saying, ‘Oh well hey, I’m going to give you a try,’” Shropshire said. “That’s all we can ask, and I think that’s just phenomenal.”
Stanley Shropshire began The Big Bib BBQ in a car wash on the Eastside of San Antonio in 2000. He said he taught himself how to grill by reading library books and experimenting. “Barbecue is a food that you really gotta love to do it because it takes patience, time and a little science behind it as well,” Shropshire said. He opened the rst brick-and-mortar on Austin Highway in San Antonio in 2010 and in 2016 inside the Alamodome. The New Braunfels location opened in 2022.
