The food truck behind San Antonio's beloved BBQ Sundae has traded its mobile trailer for a storefront. 3B BBQ opened its new restaurant at 11 a.m. Tuesday at 427 E. Ramsey Road, a spot near San Antonio International Airport that most recently housed Revolutionary Wings.
The family-owned barbecue operation has been around since at least 2018, building its following as a catering business and food truck long before settling into a permanent address, according to MySA. The new restaurant is running on a soft-opening period with a limited menu, per the outlet, and will be open 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. 3B BBQ's own website describes its food as South Texas-style, noting, “We smoke all of our meats and have a passion for quality barbecue,” according to 3bbbqllc.com.
Jason McClain, Maverick McClain and Chris McClain co-founded the business, with Jason serving as the face of the brand on social media and posting frequent video updates about the barbecue concept, per the same account from MySA. On Instagram, the account @3b_bbqsa describes itself as “A family run food truck and catering business that is ready to serve our community with pride and love!!!”

The Dish That Made Them Famous
3B BBQ built its reputation on the BBQ Sundae, a cup layered with a customer's choice of meat topped with macaroni and cheese. The restaurant's own menu describes it plainly: “Your choice of meat with our would famous Mac n Cheese add on top. Its a meal in a cup,” according to 3bbbqllc.com's menu page. A January 2025 television segment on News 4 San Antonio called it “the team behind the famous BBQ Sundae,” with Jason McClain and Maverick Moreland appearing to discuss the business on air.
Beyond the Sundae, 3B BBQ has offered meats by the pound, including brisket, pulled pork, pork spare ribs and sliced smoked turkey. The menu page also lists brisket, ribs, sausage, turkey, pulled pork, chopped beef and chicken leg quarter as meat options for customers building their own plates. Before landing on East Ramsey Road, the operation ran its open-air BBQ trailer as a mobile unit, directing fans to Facebook to track its rotating locations, per 3bbbqllc.com.
Filling a Spot Left by a Local Favorite
The East Ramsey Road address has a history in San Antonio's food scene. Revolutionary Wings, a wing shop that started as a food truck in 2016 before opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant at the same location in 2023, announced it would close on March 29, 2025, according to the San Antonio Express-News. That outlet reported the restaurant's owners cited a business slowdown and a post-election slump among the factors behind the closure.
3B BBQ's arrival now fills that vacancy near the airport, giving the growing barbecue brand its first fixed storefront after years of serving customers through catering gigs and its mobile trailer. For a business long associated with chasing down fans at pop-up locations, a steady Tuesday-through-Saturday schedule marks a new chapter.
