Ordered a meat sampler and brisket sandwich with the fixin's. Gave my phone number to let me know when the food was ready. We chowed down on both our orders; including some of the crispiest tots that hit the spot. The brisket has a great bark with a healthy taste of salt coming from it. The bread melts into the brisket as you eat it. Perfect lunch to go with a Lone Star!

I would recommend and I could imagine it would taste 10x better if you were hammered. Staff was kind and the food didn't take long at all.

It also tasted and looked as if he boiled it. Either way it was cook, it wasn't cooked long enough. Definitely not smoked.. I seen him a few years ago around the corner at a better looking set up but I was picking up for door dash then. There was a few people that were waiting on food then and now when you drive by there's never anyone there. Even though it should have been rush hour for dinner.. so I understand why the brisket wasn't cooked fresh or right. He not open late anymore either. Oh I can't forget the potatoes salad and the beans... the Ben's had tomato's in them? They weren't made by him. Bushes beans are better.. the potato salad was the only semi edible thing we got.. we literally threw everything away and didn't even feed it to the dog. Wish I took pictures before throwing it away but it got thrown away just as fast as I got the food... I hope whatever he's going through, he gets out of it. Because people that spend their hard working money should at the very least editable food.

Read some great reviews about Cool Vibes Smoke & Flame and decided to try it (we were originally…read moregoing to try the new Terry's on Common, but reviews showed it was overpriced, overrated, and that was enough for me). We walked into the convenience store (and definitely don't let the location discourage you!!) and went to the back. We weren't sure where we'd be eating or if there was any room to eat there. We figured we'd be taking food out and finding a picnic table at Landa Park or something. There were five of us and three small tables with 6 chairs. Perfect! The two chill dudes behind the counter immediately welcomed us with big smiles on their faces! They were super nice, welcoming, and smiling. They asked if we'd eaten there before and told us about what they had to offer. I asked how long they'd been in business and they shared they started in February 2024 and will be celebrating their third year in February 2027. They offered us free samples of anything we didn't know about. One of our grandsons said he'd never tried jerk chicken and voila ~ first sample was up. Gave us a couple wings to taste and they were delicious! We ordered two Meat Lovers plates and two orders of ribs. They all came with a choice of two sides and Johnny bread. We were asked whether we wanted spicy or plain sauce. There were five of us and the Meat Lovers plates easily fed two people, so we had some leftovers. The servings were huge!! We had sides that included coleslaw, mac & cheese, brisket beans, & Spanish rice. From the moment we took our first bites all that was heard was "this is delicious", "this is amazing", "holy cow", etc. Everything was beyond delicious! The Jamaican vibe in the seasoning was SO refreshing!! Absolutely loved the coleslaw! Mac & cheese was good. Beans were out of this world tasty. Proteins were juicy, tender and delicious ~ brisket was amazing, ribs fell off bone easily with every bite, pork was delicious, and jerk chicken was incredible. I think the only thing we didn't try was the corn. We've definitely found our new favorite BBQ in New Braunfels!! Nate & Shawn (sp?) are legit and we will be spreading the word!! THIS PLACE IS A MUST-TRY!!

The ribs were almost fall-off-the-bone tender but still had just enough bite, so the texture was right where it should be. The mac and cheese was fire, and the Johnny bread was great too.

In response to the May 18, 2026, review by Robin B…read more I disagree with the characterization presented in that review, as I was there and received the food upon your arrival. Thank you for taking the time to accommodate us at the last minute on one of the busiest weekends in San Antonio, GRADUATION TIME. While we were indecisive on whether to utilize your services, then agreeing, then canceling and then confirming a day and a half prior to the event, YOU came through! While most caterers would have not accepted the job, you did, against your better judgment. While the Brisket was not the quality that you are accustomed to serving, I understand time constraints prevented your usual 14 hour minimum cook time. I suggest in the future, that you do not offer that item if time does not allow. I know you were trying to give the customer what they want, but "No good deed goes unpunished!" When you brought the food it was more than what I was expecting for the number we provided. The chicken was INCREDIBLE, green beans and mac & cheese were quite tasty too. I know we only purchased food, and no set was required. Surely, you were not expected to provide sterno chafing stands and sternos for the very modest price! You did however supply decorative plates, utensils, cups, napkins, and all the condiments for our meal! This revealed your eye for details and mission to please! The items match the color scheme and decor we had, so I know you were in the spirit! You did more than enough. Anyone hiring you will be in good hands! I sincerely apologize for my sister's review and applaud your professionalism and service. I pray God's continued blessings over you and your business!

This is the second location of San Marcos BBQ. For the long time residents of Central Texas, it's…read morewhere the old Fuschak's BBQ was. And let me tell you, this is now the best BBQ option available in Hays County. A dear friend and I went last night and decided to sample a variety of the menu. I'll give you the play by play. Brisket. (Moist of course.) Cut to perfection. Plenty of bark with the classic Texas salt & pepper rub and seasoned with smoke. Unlike some of the other places, though, San Marcos BBQ's smoke flavor isn't overwhelming or overpowering. Definitely some of the better brisket out there. Pork loin. Possibly the most pleasant surprise I've had at a BBQ place in a while. While it was lean, it was still moist and unlike a lot of pork BBQ, it had a bark that gave it seasoning. The pork ribs were the least impressive part of the meal and would've benefitted from a bit more seasoning. Sides? The Mexican/Spanish rice was a great surprise and made a very nice accompaniment to the BBQ. The mac and cheese was the worst part of the meal as it was a huge serving of cheese sauce with a few elbows of macaroni underneath. Both sauces were good. The regular BBQ sauce was thick and slightly sweet. The spicy sauce is easily the spiciest sauce I've had -- and it's a new favorite of mine. I also appreciated how you can order tortillas for your BBQ. In other words, build your own BBQ tacos. I can't think of anything more Texan than that. Definitely the best BBQ in Hays County. Just skip the mac and cheese and go heavier on the brisket and pork loin as opposed to the ribs.

I LOVE BBQ and have high standards. (Maybe I'm a BBQ snob?!)…read more Stopped by for lunch on a Friday. I got a brisket & chicken plate with mac&cheese and cabbage as sides. (I ordered green beans but they were out.) Service was excellent and fast. Prices were good and the serving sizes were healthy. Unfortunately, the brisket was dry and didn't have a whole lot of flavor. Slightly better than pot roast. I admittedly like a lot of bark on my brisket and don't use BBQ sauce. Chicken quarter looked nice, but was also quite dry. Cabbage was okay. Ironically, the Mac & Cheese was the best part of the meal. The inside of the restaurant is supposed to be "rustic" but it's more rundown. Rips in the table coverings & seats, stains on the ceiling tiles, etc. Parking was easy. In general, it's not a place I'd recommend to a friend or drive out of my way to try. You might not be disappointed, but I definitely wasn't impressed.
