One of the best restaurants I went to in San Antonio…read more The food was perfect. The deviled eggs were very good with a bit of spice. Definitely a surprise as an appetizer but good. We also had the snapper throats and loved them. The aioli was a great sauce with them. I had the gulf catch of the day, which was grouper, and it was so good. Great seasoning, perfectly flaky and moist, a nice crust on the outside. With that we had some jalapeno corn bread which was also delicious. Not too dry at all. I was hoping for it to be spicy but it was not. For dessert, I gad panna cotta and it was a great ending. Not too sweet, but the berries made up for that. The lavender meringue bites had a great crunch. Our server (Maya) was excellent. She was so friendly and helpful. Finally, the decor is unmatched anywhere. It used to be a brewery and they kept the old pipes and valves, which look very cool. It has a great vibe. I highly recommend. Without the need to, I'll mention anyway that it's not cheap. But it's worth it.

Cool, old brewery turned restaurant- good vibe.

Really enjoyed the grilled oysters and the pork chop was amazing; maybe slightly overcooked but it was brined and so flavorful- nice & smokey; enough for 2. Pass on the summer squash- would be tasty if squash was shredded (like spaghetti) but cubed, the texture was off-setting. Drinks are fun - had the "madame" -yum. Fun spot - definitely would return.

Their oysters are so good, very high quality and the wings were crispy, hot and juicy. Pairing it all with a few margaritas made for a perfect dinner. Our server was amazing and helpful. He was very attentive and recommended the fried fruit pies (also delicious) I left full, satisfied and pleasantly surprised by my bill considering all of the food I purchased!

Known for their tasty fried chicken, this location also includes Southern staples like biscuits, deviled eggs, gumbo, and indulgent mac and cheese. The food is delicious, the dining room is inviting, and the staff is accommodating. We have been several times and I always get the fried chicken, deviled eggs, and Mac and cheese. Their pimento cheese is equally delicious. Don't miss those biscuits. They are drips of sweet fry bread. Mid range price, a little on the noisy side but enjoyable and relaxing. Don't miss it!

For a starter we shared the cornbread with another couple and it was plenty for 4 people. If you are from out of town and looking for some Texas-shaped vittles or just want something substantial to stretch your meal I recommend it! Very tasty and filling. For my main I had the scallops with creamed corn risotto. It was a dainty portion but the flavors were nice. My husband had the short rib tagliatelle which he loved. It was very rich and filling. We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different. Anyways still a great meal overall and we will be back!

Great atmosphere, Great service. The price versus quality doesn't meet! My date had the lamb chops…read more The lamb chops were full of fat and untrimmed, this fat didn't add any flavor. They were cooked medium rare. I don't recommend the lamb. I had the red snapper filet. I was basically. The best thing about the entire meal was dessert!

Other than that, the food was average to, not good I made the mistake of going to this tourist spot, inside of the la mansion hotel, $168 later, I can truly say that I would never recommend this restaurant!

The greens were done right. The vibe of the restaurant was upbeat. Nice music playing and I appreciate the decor of all the 70s, 80s, and 90s show and movie posters. I wish the service would've matched everything else and for this they get 3 stars. Everything took long. Long to take our order, long to get our food, long to get refills, and long to get the check. You know it's long when you decide not to ask for anything else because you don't want to be delayed any longer than you've already been. I hope they can get the service on point to match the food. Best of luck to them

I had made reservations to meet some friends here for brunch/lunch 1145 am on a Sunday. This place is bigger than it looks! There's seating at the main building, plus a huge outdoor patio seating area, and an entire other building beautifully decorated. The hostess was welcoming and friendly and our server was excellent. We were seated in the other building near the windows. The menu wasn't huge, but just right with a few lunch and brunch items. After debating for a while of what to order, I decided on the Texas Gulf Shrimp plate. Agua Fresca of the day per our server was strawberry pineapple. Our server was able to water mine down slightly- since it was very sweet, but love knowing that it was freshly made. Complimentary chips and salsa always a plus, and we were able to order some spicy salsa to accompany at no charge. My shrimp plate was delicious! 2 skewers of nicely cooked and seasoned shrimp atop salsa with perfectly cooked cilantro rice and a fresh leaf salad. A half slices avocado accompanied my plate. Oh how I love avocados. I thoroughly enjoyed my plate. The chicken al carbon was also a good choice - half a chicken that was juicy, not dry. The avocado toast was beautiful and the pecan salsa was quite interesting. The female performers during our brunch in the room, made it very hard for all of us to have conversations. The volume echoed loudly in the room, so it was very hard to speak and understand each other. Although a great idea, maybe outdoor patio area might be more suitable. Beautiful space, great service, good food.

Recently myvfamukybtraveled to San Antonio for the AWFL WOMENS FOOTBALL national championship game…read more I was told if I ever made it to texas I should try authentic Texas bbq. So on our Travels to Riverwalk. My neice said we should try there. So we did. And from the moment we stepped out of the car we knew we found our place. The delicious smell of hardwood smoke. Pulled us in the door quicker then a Texas tornado. When we walked in the front door. We were instantly greeted by friendly people. Making us feel right at home, although home was nearly 2000 miles away. Then we ordered our food. And then the gentleman taking my order asked if i was either active duty or military veteran or emergency response personel. And that speaks very loud with me. My father being a disabled vietnam veteran. This tyoe of respect is hard to find in todays world so i solute them for that. Now i am a bbq connoisseur. I went with the beef brisket, pulled pork and two sides. My wife got the same. I had the fried okra and the mac and cheese for mybsides. My wife went with the mac and cheese and fries. Our 8 year old decided to go with the chicken tenders and french fries. Our food came out just as i had sat down with my sweet iced tea. And my wife and sons lemonade. Our family has traveled to just about every state east of the Mississippi river. Trying the off the beaten path diners and restaurants. And have had bbq in about half of them states. And i will say this. The brisket was hands down the best brisket i have ever had. Not to dry but not watered down with artificial flavorings. Just the mouth watering taste or beef cooked low and slow over the hardwood fire fueled by the split chunks of wood stacked out back. The way it should be done. My only complaint was that my stomach wasnt big enough to finish.The pulled pork was just as tastey. Again cooked over open fire and smoke. Just the way the wagonmasters of Texans past. The sides were just as deliscious. Perfectly breaded and fried golden brown okra. Dipped in their house bbq/ranch dressing. The thought of this is making my mouth water a week later. And i thought i made the best mac and cheese. Well thanks alot but you proved me wrong. I really wish i would have got a to go bag for the roadtrip home. I will tell everyone i know that if they go to San Antonio, and they dont go to The Smoke Shack bbq on broadway, it could quite be the biggest mistake of their lives. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the absolute best i have ever had. I give it a SOLID 9.9! If i wver make it back to San Antonio, I know where i am going to eat.

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.

I know him from a couple of shows I attended at Southtown 101 a couple of years ago. This is weird. A bunch of people were there, mostly families with young children. It is advertised as family karaoke. The bar has a sign stating that there are no minors after 9pm allowed. The families all seem to know each other. It is almost cult-like. A lot of the kids sang and it was cute. By 9:15pm, all the kids and their families were gone. About six of our adults were left. Mondo bizarro. I got to sing four songs so I'm not complaining. I did remark to one of the remaining adults that this was cult-like. He said yes, an Alamo Heights cult. Ahhhh... Creepy, but fun. My Pacificos were $7 each, a Coke was $2.77. Food truck food is offered. Lots of choices for nibbles. Give them a try.

Despite the crowd, they kept the rounds coming without breaking a sweat. ​The standout feature for parents is undoubtedly the children's play area. It transforms the outing from a "quick drink" into a genuine family get-together where the adults can actually relax and converse while the kids stay entertained. ​The food is served via on-site truck options, and the quality is impressive. Even with a large order, everything was served quickly and arrived hot. Here's the breakdown of what we tried: ​Brisket Nachos: Heavy on the brisket and perfectly layered. ​Chicken Tenders: Crispy, juicy, and a hit with both the kids and the adults. ​Tacos: Fresh flavors and great portions. ​Fried Okra: The perfect salty snack to pair with a cold beer.
