I got the brisket and pork plate special with Mac & cheese and the spicy cream corn. I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with what I got.. quality and portions were on par...maybe exceeded with what I expected. Service was also great.

I just stopped at the Smoke Shack before I went to my gate and I’m so happy I did. The food was down right incredible & fresh. But the best part of my visit was my bartender Kayla. She greeted me with a warm smile & was so knowledgeable on the menu when I asked questions. Her service was top notch and quick! If you’re ever at the airport make sure to go see Kayla at the Smoke Shack, you won’t be disappointed!

Currently having a great experience at smoke shack. Had the chicken tenders and coleslaw, and honestly it has no business being as good as it is. It’s obviously fresh chicken and hand coated, not from frozen. Coleslaw is Rich and creamy and balanced and I’m so pleasantly surprised. Service is friendly, there when you need them but leave you alone and don’t bug you. Only thing I thing needs improvement is the decor. It’s a little bland and all over the place. Needs a bbq themed facelift so people can see it’s legit walking by. If I’m back in SAT, I’m coming back here.

We had a terrible start to our trip. We were issued food vouchers by Delta but we had already paid for our meal. Kayla, the manager and Jennifer saw to it that we were able to use our vouchers and refunded our bill. And then we were given a delicious banana pudding on the house. It was a super great experience and really brightened our day. They could not have been nicer.Thank you Ladies

I would totally eat here again. (I did eat dinner at 4:15 pm and the airport was a little dead.) My meal came out in under 5 minutes. I feel like I had paid, picked a table, sat down, pulled out my phone and the food was there. Everyone who helped me was very helpful and friendly and they even checked in with me at the table to see how it was. I got the loaded brisket baked potato. The brisket was good! It was tender and thankfully wasn't doused in sauce, which the sauce was fine, but I like to taste the meat. The potato could've used more seasoning, at least on the crust. The pricing was a little steep, but I expect that with airport food. Fun views of outside too.

A whole buncha delicious BBQ, more than I could ask for. Love the atmosphere, windows by the runway. Ms. Yvonne (cashier) was just so warm and nice.

One of the best food spots in San Antonio airport in my opinion as far as what you get for the money you pay. Food is always on point and comes out fast. The baked potato was hot and it comes with cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo, and brisket. I opted to have it without pico and sour cream. I got a side of mac and cheese and added it to the mix. I also added a bit more BBQ sauce. It’s a perfect blend! I’d recommend this spot.

Best chicken sandwich I've ever had, their nachos were great, the chips are thin and salty. The drinks were large, sometimes you order drinks and they come in such small cups, but they don't skimp here. The prices weren't crazy like most airport restaurants. And it was fresh and delicious. We also were served our food pretty quickly and seated immediately. Great place for a bite at the San Antonio airport!!!
