Smoke Shack BBQ – YUM!
Owner and Pit Master Chris Conger started Smoke Shack in 2000 as the 3rd food truck owner in San Antonio. Now all of his smoked meat is cooked in a massive outdoor smoky BBQ pit at his complex of restaurant, bar, and meat market. The Smoke Shack’s house-made pork and beef sausage hot links are wonderful, but Smoke Shack is best known for its juicy beef brisket.
For the brisket Conger starts with his special-order marbled meat, then trims each piece to his liking, finally he applies generous salt & pepper before putting on his secret dry rub. Time to let the rug absorb for 6 to 8 hours, before he throws the brisket on his rotating grill. When done, Smoke Shack serves-up some of the tastiest, juiciest BBQ beef on this planet!
Don’t forget, all of their options are great: the pulled pork, ribs, chicken, turkey, hot links, beef and also their sides: mac-n-cheese, greens, coleslaw, creamed corn, okra, pickles, french fries, and mashed potatoes. Ask for their Grilled Cheese with Brisket, it’s a favorite with the regulars.
Their Meat Market is next to Smoke Shack.
