It's made to order, so factor in a good 15 minute wait. I got the smaller portion which is one fillet with one side.

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.

Food: Brisket, fried okra, Mac and Cheese filled with…read morebrisket, and ribs . EVERYTHING I just mentioned was fresh, delicious, and ON POINT and I had enough food left over for dinner and a little leftover for the next day. I definitely got my money's worth. I went there after reading the reviews and having a taste for barbecue chicken. Unfortunately, there was no barbecue chicken or anything I planned to purchase while checking out the menu at the airport. However, I have no regrets and I will be back when I'm in the area. Service: I called while at the airport to make sure they had chicken and I was told yes. I immediately headed straight to the restaurant from the airport. It was my first visit to this restaurant and to be honest, I was a bit disappointed with the service. I wasn't immediately acknowledged. They ran out of everything I planned to purchase between the time I called and drove to the restaurant from the airport (short ride). The area where the condiments are stored was not as clean or organized as it should have been for a restaurant. There seemed to be enough staff to take care of it while I was there. Staff I came in contact with were nice and acknowledged with a smile when I was at my table. There is an area before arriving to the restroom that was not as clean as it should have been. The garbage can was running over with trash. Atmosphere: Loud, joyful, and family friendly environment. I met a family who were looking for a place to sit. I invited them to sit with me and it was great! I will be back the next time I am in the San Antonio area. I'm thinking positively . If you're in the area, check them out and give them a try. I did and I don't regret it. My next visit will be better.

Harmond's BBQ in Cibolo is a must-stop for us and hands down one of the best BBQ spots in the area…read more We always order the three-meat plat, brisket, sausage, and chicken, and it never disappoints. The meats are flavorful, tender, and cooked exactly the way great Texas BBQ should be. Even our nephew, who visits from Germany, insists this be his last stop before heading back home, and for good reason. Both the meats and the sides are consistently delicious. Our go-to sides are the cream corn, green beans, and potato salad, and they pair perfectly with the BBQ. Whether you're passing through town or have lived here and somehow haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend stopping by. This place is worth it.

This restaurant has really grown from its small humble beginnings and I'm here for it. Even though it has expanded, it has not lost one ounce of its rustic small town charm.

They took time answering questions and were just genuinely sweet people. I ordered the sampler platter which had pretty much every meat they offer except for the ribs. We also ordered "da bombs" (brisket stuffed jalapeños wrapped in bacon). I don't eat jalapeños, but these....these were on a completely different level. The bacon was so dang flavorful to start with and cooked perfectly. I thought it was going to be either tough or too flimsy, but it was just dang perfect!!! I eliminated both of mine within 5 mins. So dang good. Next, the sampler came out and it was loaded. Brisket, pulled pork, sausage, turkey and chicken. Everything was juicy and flavorful. I thought the pulled pork could have just a bit more spice, but overall, everything was great. For the love of Pete....when you go, get the sweet potato's. I couldn't stop eating them. I almost finished the whole container we ordered. Overall, I will thought it was great and honestly what made it even better was the family who runs it. They literally make you feel at home.

Disappointing and underwhelming barbecue. Wouldn't recommend to anyone I know…read more Had the brisket, sausage, Mac, and cream corn. Each one wasn't quite right. The brisket and the Mac were both dry and the sauces were no good. The dining room is cute, and the music was nice--when ads weren't playing. The service at the counter was fine, but was upset to read our receipt and see we paid $11 for 3 drinks. My partner insisted on +1 because they have grape kool-aid in the tea fountain.

As for the all you can eat my other relatives I was dining in got their food first. Service was just so so because I didn't get my food the same time with my relatives. Ambience was not formal and the last time I went with my cousin to San Antonio Texas I went to Pinkerton barbeque in comparison to know. It was just ok.. Pinkerton was better. We went for dinner green beans was good. Don't get the all you can eat meat because they run out of certain meat especially turkey
