Great BBQ Before or After Sightseeing…read more Smoke Shack has become one of our go to spots whenever we have guests visiting. It is the perfect stop after showing friends and family the Alamo and the River Walk before heading back home. Just be prepared for a line because every time we have gone, there is usually one. It moves, but it is definitely part of the experience. Our go to items are always the lip smacking brisket. We order a pound of regular and a quarter pound of lean. Both are tender and flavorful. The ribs and sausage are also solid choices. For sides, we rotate between the well seasoned green beans, mac and cheese, beans and okra. All of them are excellent and you really cannot go wrong. Side note. I am not a fan of their corn. I prefer corn that leans sweet rather than spicy, so it is not my favorite. Next time I go, I already know what I want to try. Either the Brisket Sandy or the Brisket Grilled Cheese. Both look incredible. Smoke Shack is always a reliable stop for good Texas BBQ and a great place to bring visitors for an authentic taste of San Antonio.

Restaurant: Smoke Shack Ordered:…read more* Brisket sandwich * Potato salad A-List Take: The brisket had good flavor, but it seemed to be seared or reheated before serving. I personally prefer brisket that's freshly sliced without being cooked again. I was also surprised that additional brisket slices cost $0.50 each. The potato salad had plenty of ingredients, but it wasn't my favorite. My biggest concern was that it was cool rather than cold, which made me question whether it was being kept chilled enough. A-List Verdict: Brisket had flavor. Extra charge for slices was unexpected. Potato salad temperature was disappointing. A-List Rating: (3/5) The BBQ had potential, but the reheated brisket and lukewarm potato salad kept this one from making my A-List. Until next bite... this is A-List, keeping it deliciously honest.

I do need to add that the sweet potato casserole is AMAZING, definitely was my favorite side, the turkey & sausage were probably my favorite meat, I wasn't the biggest fan of the brisket but that's just my preference, it wasn't bad though. The service was good too our waiter was attentive and kept coming back to ask what other food we wanted since it's all you can eat. This is a smaller place with not too much seating, but It's cool, and they do have other things on the menu such as BBQ plates, brisket nachos, and baked potatoes which you can add meat to it as well.
