One word: "FLAVOUR". Even though this is from a mobile smoker, this was some of the best, tender, flavourful BBQ I have had in the San Antonio, TX area bar none. I have visited this truck multiple times on separate visits to TX and have not been disappointed either time. The marble cut of their brisket is incredible as well as their pulled pork sliders. They do have a restaurant store front that I would love to visit as well in hope that the taste is the same as their truck. THIS LOCATION IS A MUST VISIT!!! You will not be disappointed 😋
Went on the recommendation of friends. Absolutely fantastic! Food was delicious all around. In the group we had pulled pork, ribs, and brisket. Everyone really enjoyed it.
My wife and I dropped in yesterday. 4**** bank was right next store, we met a nice family. I really liked my beans, smashed potatoes, and pork sandwich. Misses says she found a new fav col saw. Back on the road in two shakes. Good to go!
I ate there Sat at their restaurant on Broadway -had the brisket and sausage sandwich w tater salad. The sandwich was very flavorful though a bit greasy i gather from the sliced sausage which is what happens when you heat up sausage. The sauce was also very good and the sandwich had an ample amount of meat. The sauce on the table which i understand is what they put on in the kitchen had an unusual flavor which was pleasing and slightly sweet. the meat was a bit salty, but the sauce balanced that out. their mustard bq sauce seemed to have horseradish. it too was rather flavorful. the tater salad was very fresh and tasty though next time I'd add a little salt and pepper before eating. i will be back and do recommend. still, I'll try other places in town to see what's out there. FYI...all their soda is bottled -no fountain or refills except for tea.
Austin now has a worthy rival. Humble building--- grand BBQ. Had the q sandwich w potato salad. 5/5. Son agreed. Got some ribs and was greatly pleased with the sweet sauce that enhanced the tender deliciousness. Glad that it's part of my hood. One complaint; ice needs to be in a more sanitary dispenser than an ice chest with a scoop. Will be back.
Great BBQ!. If you like eating BBQ off the tailgate of your truck and enjoying the sun. This is the place to be. They have the most tender BBQ that I've tasted in San Antonio. The brisket just break apart with only a plastic fork, didn't need a knife. The spicy corn is perfect. Will be back, for sure!
Now serving ambrosia!. On my most recent trip, I had two pulled-pork sliders with cole slaw and a side of baked potato salad. All I can say is holy cow...err, pig!! The meat was cooked perfectly and not chopped up into a fine-grain slurry. Yes sir, there are real and identifiable chunks of pork on these sliders! The meat is covered in a vinegar-based sauce which I found extremely delicious. I think the meat can stand on it's own, but I'm not in the habit of eating pulled pork without some kind of sauce. The potato salad was delicious too and resembled German potato salad which I love. This trip ranks among the most satisfying lunches I've ever had. I ate outside at one of the picnic tables underneath the shelter and not even the dark soggy weather could spoil this experience. WOW! If you haven't been to Conger's Smoke Shack, you've GOT to try it. Call in to work sick if you have to. It will be worth your while!!
Deadly BBQ. The 2nd best BBQ I have ever eaten that wasn't made by my family. The sides were very good especially the mac and cheese. The coleslaw had feta cheese in it but it works very well. Tried brisket,turkey plate and brisket,pulled pork sliders. Sampled the St Louis style ribs as well. It will impossible to know which one to choose upon returning.
Best in the City. First let me say I am a barbeque junkie. I love good bbq! And this is the best I have had in San Antonio! I always get the marbled brisket and have never been disappointed. The ribs will make you weep; they are so good. And the pulled pork is why God made pigs. I could go on and on about the food. Chris, the owner, is a really great guy and everyone there is awesome. Love Love Love this place!

They were voted #1 for a reason. Just to reiterate what everyone else is saying, Conger has some great que and theres nothing like coming back to work and having people tell me I smell like BBQ! The Pulled Pork Slider is out of this world delicious and the BBQ sauce added to it is like no other....a mustard based BBQ sauce. You just have to try this place out for yourself to see....highly recommended.
Went here for BBQ off of Google reviews and because Guy Fieri went here. We got the 3 meat plate. Ribs-Jalapeno Sausage & the Brisket. For sides we got the Pinto Beans & Creamed Corn. We enjoyed all of it. You order at the counter then they bring it out. They have both indoor & outdoor seating.
Nice place for BBQ. Was clean, well lit, and many open tables. Service was ok, got brisket to go but it took longer than expected. Brisket was tender and tasty. Came with rolls, pickles, onions, jalapeños, and BBQ sauce. Decor inside was of typical BBQ place.
First time eating here. Ordered by phone for take-out.
Asked for a brisket sandwich WITHOUT bbq sauce, and was given one with some instead.
Bbq definitely changed the flavor of the sandwich, and it was not to my liking. Though, the sauce was tasty.
Sweet tea is yummy! I recommend that!
Atmosphere's nice. Employees are kind!
Located just across from The Witte and featured on DDD this is a very popular BBQ joint with very limited seats. The staff is great at clearing tables as soon as they become available. Not pictured is the famous brisket grilled cheese which was delicious! The spicy creamed corn had a little kick to it. All around great food!
Now THIS is a fantastic BBQ joint! 🤤 I had the marbled brisket, pulled pork, collard greens 🤤😭🤤, and the fries. Hubby got marbled brisket, spicy corn🤤🤤, fried okra, and turkey. The rolls were wack imo, but everything else is delicious! WOW! LOVE their pickles too! 😆 Service was good, one of the fellas even came out to make sure we we're happy with everything, wasn't expecting that. The place doesn't look like much from the outside but don't be fooled! 😆 So good, can't wait to visit again.
In town for work and wanted to try something new. Coworker found this place online with lots of great reviews. It did not disappoint.
I had the brisket, pork, Mac and cheese and vinegar slaw for sides. Others had the brisket, sausage and collards and spicy creamed corn.
I didn't eat the bread. (Plain roll. Seemed store bought, possibly) We discussed that the bread could be much better compared to the rest of the food. Cornbread would be phenomenal with the other food items.
Good was pretty good. Was expecting a little more from a TX bbq joint. Robs and brisket were a little dry, Mac and cheese with shredded brisket was fire and the okra was meh. People were cool that I dealt with. Maybe it was an off day.

Ironically, this had been our second choice, but should’ve been our first!
The seasoning on the okra is some of the best I’ve had in the south. The glaze on the ribs had a delicate sweetness without tasting like candy. The brisket has that smokiness without taking over the meat. Allowing you to sauce at will. And the sausage wasn’t dripping in grease and had a peppery flavor (there is a jalapeño sausage option).
Sides wise I’ve mentioned the okra, but you will be very pleased with their mac ‘n’ cheese (has reasonable amounts of sausage and brisket). This isn’t the mustard potato salad of your parent’s backyard barbecue which worked well for me. Think a baked potato with fixings but cold. We all know sweet tea is diabetes in cup, but here there’s a balance — sweet but not lethal.
The staff was exceptional and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Today’s playlist a throwback to the 80’s with Fine Young Cannibals, Def Leopard and others. My sole #sadness was the absence of desert, but not so much that I wouldn’t return.
All in all, this honorable mention for Texas Monthly magazine is worth your time if you like a great place of food at a mostly affordable cost!
This is hands down one of the best BBQ spots in the world.
Absolutely everything is top notch. The Brisket is absolutely delicious and falls apart in your mouth. The pork is the perfect amount of fatty and when you throw it in some BBQ sauce it takes it to the next level. The MacNCheese is creamy and packed with flavor. I can't recommend the sausage enough it's absolutely delicious. Even the sweet tea here is great.
But the best part of this place are the ribs. They're amazing in every way. They're soft and tender. The glaze elevates the ribs to heaven, it's sweet, packed with flavor and every bite makes you want more.
The staff is very friendly and welcoming offering the best of Texas hospitality.
This place is amazing and a must visit if you're in San Antonio.
Smoke Shack has very good Texas BBQ at reasonable prices. I took two buddies here and we really enjoyed the food. We all got the two meat plate. The Turkey and brisket were scrumptious. A nice touch is there offering of Topo Chico.
