Ok, just a few words bout the Old Smokehouse.......
It reminds of the way BBQ use too be, BBQ back in the good ole days....!
Broke down inside and out and hot ???? as hell, people sitting and eating while sweating.
No air conditioner and the fans don't always blow air, so don't even bother setting under them. These places seemingly have the very best BBQ simply cause they put the money into the food, so the Old Smokehouse is definitely on point...The meat was full of that smoky down home flavor, flavor you could taste clearly in every bite...And the young man slicing the meat AKA Big Smokie, let us sample every piece with BBQ sauce on the side.....
Wow talk about service, now that's service over the top.....Crazy I usually take a pic of the food when sharing my dining experiences, but I forgot cause it was absolutely incredible........ ????
We will be headed back on tomorrow to pick up some ribs, so I'll drop a pic then.......Lol
Well here you go went back to get those ribs and decided to get more brisket to, this is scrumptious dinning at it's best......!
Definitely adding the Old Smokehouse to my dinning list, when I'm visiting San Antonio......

Did the old owners sell this place. It used to be great, but it sucks now. The barbecue sauce was tasteless and thin as water. Barbecue chicken was old and dry as hell. Brisket tasted like beef jerky. The pinto beans and green beans were straight from the can.
In the past I would rate this high, but I wish I could give the new owners a zero. Waste of time and money.

Real good food, very comfortable atmosphere, and a lovely Server. Fairly small, so expect a wait! The food was phenomenal, exactly as advertised. Nice dark and spicy pork to boot. If you like meat and hunting, San Antonio inspired food, and wood decor, you'll like it here

This is the place to come for awesome smoked meats! The brisket was succulent and delicious. The flavor stands on its own even not using the bbq sauce. The other amazing smoked meat is their signature smoked lamb ribs. Juicy and delicious! That made my mouth VERY happy!!
Ohhh and the sides of Slaw and Potato Salad, were a great match to a delicious meal!

Ok brisket. Pretty dry and flavorless, as you can see from the picture, not much of a smoke ring. Sweet tea tasted like raspberry, very strong and unexpected. Pintos had a super strong tomato flavor. Coleslaw was really sweet.

Decided to try it out as you can't go to Texas without getting bbq. Started out promising as we walked in and the smoke was prevalent. SO much so where it's probably not a good idea to try to eat in there as it's just too smoky but it smelled good. That's where it ended. Got the ribs. They weren't bad but weren't great esp charging by the pound and it was tough and the sauce is watery. Also got the potato salad and whoever told them that was good lied to them. That was not potato salad. Ok, you don't want to do southern style potato salad but the potatoes weren't salted, not enough mayo. It was just bad all the way around.

Was so upset i walked out with my whole plate.. There are just too many things to complain about but for whats its worth the chicken was on point bc the brisket wasn't..THATS IT! BEWARE OF THE DRINK STATION ???? and bring a gas mask if you plan on dining in bc the restaurant is filled with BBQ smoke.

Ok... let me tell you how it went...when I saw it from out side it looked like part of the retail... but the smell out was drawing me in...
And as I walked in.. you're transported into a Old Smoke.. and had a lot of room.. walk to the back to take your order. And the food came out... and mouth started to water. The food was amazing. Overall experience all I can say is wow...
I'll definitely come back... check out my photos... and hope to see y'all there.

The beans tasted old and from a can , the chicken was dry and lacked the basic bbq fundamentals peppers, salt ! Seriously is this even Texas bbq . The brisket was a tad better then rest of the meats . The onion was chopped in half then served… why tho? Last but not bbq sauce was maple syrup with off the self’ bbq sauce … I think you should find a new profession that’s not near a kitchen or a barbecue smoker . Save your money and run away from this place

Came here for lunch with friends. We all loved the food here. The brisket had so much flavor. They make their own bbq sauce that tastes amazing, had to buy some to take home. The servers were very friendly. Def going back.
