Smoke Shack Delica Texan is near the Witte Musuem on Broadway. Their unique, flavorful sandwich combinations will leave you excited about going back to try a different one. I had one of their daily specials, an Italian with Minestrone Soup, which paired perfectly with each other. I got to sample their version of a Philly Cheesesteak. I can't wait to try their Patty Melt and their Texas Reuben. We were all joyously enjoying our lunch, when we were treated with a free slice of their banana cheese cake. I'm not an huge dessert person, but it was so good that I did take multiple bites. I was expecting it to be heavy, but it wasn't. It's a MUST try for any banana lovers. If you like fresh, made-to-order sandwiches, with quality ingredients, you need to add this to your lunch adventure list. All of us left satiated; happy tummy, happy life. read more

The. Finest. Cheesecake. EVER!! Peach cobbler was also good. and friendly service behind the counter.

Stopped in today to grab a few lunches to go. Service was present but not very helpful. She just wanted the order. Lucky for her, I loved the two sandwiches ... Cajun BLT and Chicken Salad. The Cajun bacon gave the traditional sandwich a twist. The chicken salad was creamy and large. Watch out .. it had lots of jalapeños. The cucumber salad had a good flavor ... liked the addition of the peanuts. The inside has about 7-8 tables while there are few more in front. Parking is a challenge.rhey do have deli meats and sides for sell as well. read more

First time visiting. Was brought by a coworker for a lunch meeting. The sandwich I had was amazing! I didn't pay so I can't comment on price. I ordered the tri tip sandwich and it was delicious! The vodoo chips and the soda I had were also great. The sandwich was a decent size. The few negatives... Not very many choices period. The items they do have are done extremely well. I was able to look at the meat selection and had sticker shock. Maybe if I purchase in the future and justify the price I will change my mind. No fountain drinks either I think. It's a little to fancy for my taste for a deli. I prefer the true deli experience like Gino's. I'm still not sure I would bring the fam. read more

Got a few sandwiches from the deli inside. All the meats and fillings were amazing. Each one had some type of homemade sauce or chutney.Ours were toasted and warm. The meat market inside had some really great choices,and rubs and sauces. There were also some pre made sides in containers.Something I would bring to my brother to switch it up at our next grill. They had a beef enchilada sausage that seemed interesting. read more

Bought a bunch of stuff from here (sausages, pimento dip, fajita chicken)...all of it was fine, but nothing was great. And with the prices I paid I could easily have just gotten it made from somewhere (or next door). read more

All I want to say is please go try the Delicatexan. The food is amazing. I have had two sandwiches from here, the pastrami and the Italian. They are both so fresh and the staff is always sweet. The food is simple but yet so so so gooood. It's a great sandwich with simple but fresh ingredients that's full of flavor. Go check is out. read more

Butcher meat was good! But the burger I ordered was inedibly burned, then they remade it and it was just as inedibly burned. These photos are of "remade" one. Almost as if it were on purpose both times read more

Who makes the best sandwiches, you know the kind that you remember for a lifetime? The answer varies for everyone but I think we can all agree if a butcher serves food, start there. As a child growing up in Charleston SC, I would visit my Italian relatives in Connecticut who owned a butchery. If you're thinking the mob & Goodfellas, unfortunately you're not far off. That said I still remember the smells, all the charcuterie, the fresh mozzarella, meatballs, etc. They would slice slivers of meat and sometimes blindfold me so I could tell the Soppressata, Mortadella, Proscuitto, apart. Their "grinders" are the reason I'm so picky about my cold subs to this day. Back to the review. After leaving Witte museum across the street my kids and I were hungry. Generally, I let them chose what to eat when I have the chance to see them, but today they didn't get a vote. We were going to Smokeshack Delicatexan. We crossed the intersection which fortunately wasn't that busy and walked up to the front doors. A couple things to note, first this isn't a bad part of town and they have a larger sit down restaurant beside it that focuses on BBQ. Opening the door, the aromas instantly hit the nose, tickling it with all kinds of cured meats, exotic cheeses and fresh cuts of premium quality meats such as steaks, pork loins, etc. Being a former chef, I engaged in some banter thinking I would pick up a rack of lamb while there. Alas they're cutting down on their variety and lamb seems to be one of the causalities which is a shame b/c lamb is so darn good. I'm somewhat kicking myself b/c I eyeballed a perfectly marbled ribeye for 5 minutes and didn't purchase it. The butcher was kind enough to slice a little of a couple meats for me and the kids to sample. It was simply bliss and perfection. Also note there are lots of other items to purchase, stacked to the ceiling that one can't find at HEB such as local sauces, honey, wood chips, etc. I highly advise taking a while and let your imagination run wild with possibilities. After our small talk all three of us ordered the cold Italian as it had the most homemade meats all on freshly baked hoagie rolls and dressing. The food came out quickly and we all acted like the dinosaurs at the museum. The bread had a nice crunch while pillowy soft in the middle. The meats were proportioned right as they weren't just a brick, rather perfectly sliced layers and marbled with fatty cured goodness. My kids opted for the provolone however I got the fresh mozz. Both were great but I believe mine was divine. I will admit the sandwiches could have been elevated even more if they were to opt for 100% shredded lettuce rather than a whole leaf and some shredded. The reason is shredding adds a certain familiar texture while a whole leaf, might be trendy, but it competes with the meat rather than elevates it. As a personal preference I like a miniscule amount of thin cut red onion. Those huge chunks of onions are too much and dominate the heat and crunch. Side note, my kids don't like tomatoes, so on a 6" "sub" I had 6 tomato slices and since the produce was so fresh, it added even more moisture which was fine by me. Unfortunately, I don't live in SA but close to Austin which means I have pretty good options closer to home. Otherwise, this establishment might be my go-to sub shop and butcher. While I can't offer much insight on many of the other options, I can say with pretty good confidence that I believe all menu items will be a fantastic choice. Please note the prices are ever so slightly higher but that's b/c you're getting premium quality meats as apposed to any other sandwich alternatives which utilize meat glues and preservatives in their products to last longer. I definitely recommend dropping by Smokeshack Delicatexan for a sandwich experience unlike any other or to splurge on the best cuts of meat you can buy anywhere. read more

I got the tri tip sandwich. I added an extra garlic aioli mixed with there homemade hot sauce that was on the table. The sandwich was delicious. It had a healthy amount of steak and the arugula was a nice touch. My only complaint is that the tri tip was not cut against the grain which made the sandwich harder to eat and less tender to chew. read more

This place is a gem! I love a good deli sandwich and this place had me dreaming about my next order. The shop was clean and one of the staff was friendly, while the other was... rude and dismissive (the only reasons for 4 stars instead of 5). Either way, the sandwiches were fresh, made to order, and so delicious! Highly recommend and I can't wait to go back! read more

I absolutely adore this meat market. Their in house sausage making is amazing. My favorite is the enchilada or the chicken broccoli rice. The smoke shack sausage is a classic too. The side choices, can't go wrong with twice baked potatoes or the casserole. Brisket Mac n cheese yum! Today tried the El Jefe sandwich, while sooo good, was wishing for bigger sandwich. Lol to be fair i was starving and could have had two. Lol Was really good, toasted bread, I'm not sure what was on it, because i was hungry and asked the guy behind the counter his favorite he recommended this, and not wrong! read more

Smoke Shack Delicatexan - Half of the El Jefe - Meat Shops Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This place is pretty darn cool. I hadn't checked it out until now, but you better believe I'll be back. This place is quaint with a selection of meats that are sourced from within 150 miles. The people who work here are well informed about the products they are selling. They have multiple cuts of beef as well as chicken and quail when I went in. They even have jalapeño poppers!! Grass fed options are available which is great if you are looking for something a little healthier. The butcher added that bone is available if you want to make your own stock. The biggest surprise is that they have pre-made side options. I went with the creamed corn and twice baked potatoes on this visit. After a long day of work, this is a quick, easy, and delicious thing to pop in the oven. My husband said the poppers he's ever had...I guess I will find out. read more

Not worth the price. Ordered a large charcuterie board that was supposed to be large enough for 10-12 people. While I understand this is not meant to be a full meal. I still don't feel this was worth the $95. Meats were ok. read more

The Smoke Shack Meat Market has always been top-shelf for its sides (creamed corn, parmesan risotto, twice baked potatoes, etc), beautiful cuts of rib eye, pork chops, a huge assortment of homemade sausages, and other butcher shop must-haves, BUT now, they have expanded to include a great deli-style counter with a thoughtful menu of lunchtime sandwiches. The sandwiches are definitely elevated to SSMM's high quality and very flavorful standard that is found in all their other offerings. Today, I had the Turkey, Brie, & Apple Chutney on Ciabatta... It was fantastic! The turkey was smoked, the brie was ample and gooey, and the apple chutney was the x-factor, giving the sandwich an element of sweetness that pulled everything together. I'm thrilled to have to have this lunch (even dinner) option available, and it is now my first, go-to lunch option. read more

Patty was dry and overcooked, bread was burnt. I guess there's a reason why they're only always out of the good stuff. I would stick to the Texas Reuben or else skip this place overall. read more

Smoke Shack Delicatexan - Burnt Patty Melt - Meat Shops Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This is a good place to get specialty meats and cheeses that are both tasty and unique. You can get steaks, flanks, or even whole prosciutto by the weight. They have a small selection of local farm-raised items, jams, jellies, salsas, chilis, and a few drinks in the area to the right as you walk in as well. The sausage selection is where the real tasty stuff is. They have a smoke shack, jalapeño, and types of white sausage links available by the pound. Usually four links will be about 1.25 lbs. I was able to get four links of the smoke shack sausage and about a hand-sized triangle of cajun honey specialty cheese for about $25. Whether you are looking for some aperitif items or grilling up some serious meats, swing by here off Broadway (especially to avoid the Central Market lines) for some authentic and well-crafted cuts! read more

What a great unexpected one Stop shop for dinner! I absolutely didn't realize all they had. My husband sent me there to get steaks better than the commissary quality and we were not disappointed. Yes it's expensive but you could compromise and get some thing like the Denver cut for only $14 a pound or really splurge for a nice waygu beef for $50 a pound. They had more delicious sides than I knew what to do with including bacon mac & cheese and smoked baked beans. They had a great selection of complementary wines and local beers. They also had some fun local jellies, honeys, and trucker hats. There's something for everyone here even during a pandemic. Good luck guys!! #meat read more

So sad, called and spoke with a woman who said they don't cut meat in thin strips for jerky. The woman said the butcher says they do t sell thin meat, but only sell already made jerky. read more

Customer Beware!!! Once you try one of their sandwiches you will want to eat one EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! I'm not even lying. I live less than 5 minutes from the store and I have to tell myself that it's not okay to eat a sandwich from the Meat Market every day. Do I want to eat one from there every day? HELL YES!! But I told myself to limit it to only once or twice a week. Don't say I didn't warn you. What do I LOVE? I LOVE the Beefy, Cheesy sandwich that is loaded with their homemade giardiniera which is now available to purchase on its own. AMAZING!!! I LOVE the turkey sandwich...the first one on the menu....I can't remember the name and my son is in love with the chicken salad. I tasted it and it rocks. The sweet tea is great. Not bitter and not too sweet. Iced tea is the perfect drink with one of these sandwiches. You can also buy fresh meat there, wine, beer, honey, premade yummy food and MORE AND MORE AND MORE. And everyone in the store is always so nice. I have met Rachel and Mat and they really are super sweet and friendly. In closing the Meat Market is THE BOMB.COM. GO THERE NOW!!!!! read more

08/03/2019 1500, after much debating I ordered the Grilled Cheese and Brisket sandwich with a side of Collard Greens. I was asked if I wanted a drink and I said "sure". The sweet girl at the register (Aaliyah) asked me "bottle or can?" I said bottle, thinking it would be the normal plastic bottle of Coke I normally buy. To my dismay it was a glass bottle...then I was told it was a "Mexican Coke". I declined after I was told it was stronger than regular Coke....wtf...I don't need something that will dissolve my stomach before I even eat. I got the can. I went to my table and was immediately excited! I saw someone scrawled "EMILY JONES" on a small pillar next to my table with a Sharpie, (The restaurant is known for this..you can go and graffiti up the joint with your John Hancock or pretty much anything I guess). This was cool because my last name is Jones and I had lunch with a semi coworker whose 1st name is Emily! When my food arrived I was blown away...1st because it didn't look anything like it was advertised (I was very disappointed actually and ready to complain to whoever is the owner or manager) and 2nd my Annabel. She brought my food with the hugest smile and beautiful personality I think I have ever seen. It was not just the way she interacted with me but the way she treated all the guests there, it felt genuine and calmed me to he point that I didn't even care about the discrepancy in the food presentation. The food was good, I had the Grilled Cheese sandwich with greens like I said, and actually ordered a pulled pork sandwich to go, but the food was 2nd to Annabel's AWESOME personality. I'll be back just to have her serve me again. Thank you Smoke Shack for hiring Annabel, she saved you guys from getting a bad review. read more

I'm here to talk about and to review ONE thing, and that's the brisket tamales that just blew my mind right the heck on open. I've heard SO much about these, but I finally got to try a couple dozen for myself. I walked in, not expecting to find much at the eleventh hour before Christmas, but Texans are out here making dreams come true for all of us who are PERPETUALLY late to the party. I CANNOT stress enough that I am not much of a tamal eater, but you put brisket in a dog treat and I just might try it. DO NOT TEMPT ME. Put some brisket in some lightly toasted masa and I may steal the one off your plate after polishing off mine. And maybe I did just that . . . um . . . twice. ;) read more

What an awesome place! Our son and daughter-in-law live close to here and being in town for Thanksgiving I had to check it out. We did not have a need to buy any of their meat (will next time) but we had sandwiches there twice. They were so good!!! Everyone raved about their sandwich!! You need to go there and get one of the great offerings!!!! We will be back in January and will definitely pick up some of their Meat!!! read more

Found a new place for fajitas! With Bolners still shut down due to COVID I had to venture out of the comfort zone and decided to try Smoke Shack meat market. Beef fajita was already sealed in 1lb packets bought 6 lbs They cooked great and were so well cleaned and loved the spice. Tried the beef enchilada sausage. Excellent flavor everyone loved it ! Great service will be back. read more

I picked up two of the Shack Packs for my office lunch for 14 people. Everyone was well fed and loved the food! I didn't get any pictures but the Mac and cheese was the first thing gone and the Turkey did not disappoint. They provided a box to carry everything in, cups, paper plates and utensils. Too my surprise they has the sausage links cut up for us as well. Would highly recommend! read more

Love the Italian beef sandwich. Fantastic. Good wine and beer selection. Very nice people

Saw reviews and noticed they had a brisket Frito pie that was calling my name. First just to walk in and smell the air makes your soul happy. Sweet and smoky! The brisket had a really good taste and I even liked the beans that they place on the pie. Tasty bbq sauce that is sweet! Yum read more

Our school team decided to have BBQ after our professional development since we were not able to stop on the way to Fundamental 5 National Conference from Dallas. Parking is located in front of the establishment and looks to be limited if there is a large crowd. As you enter you place your order and the meal is brought to you. I ordered the 3 meat plate with a side of okra. When you ask for a drink with your meal it's only tea not fountain drinks. The customer service could have been friendlier but you can see its a family run business since high school kids are taking your order and cleaning up. The food arrived quick to the table. The brisket was tender and the smoke could be tasted. The ribs were real tender and the smoke could be tasted in each bite. The portions were big so I couldn't eat the chicken. The inside has a outdoor feel with wood benches and TV's were placed all around. This is a worthwhile visit and prices were agreeable. read more

Great market and great location. For those of us that live in town this is a super place to get Akaushi beef.

The quality of the meat selection here is top-notch. They also have delicious side options, beverages, and pickled goodies. Try the Dean and Peeler Ribeye! You can't go wrong with their risotto. Find it in the fridge section to the right-hand side. The price is a little steep for the accoutrements, but it is definitely worth it. The only complaint I have for this place is the men behind the counter. The times I have been in without my husband, they assume that a woman isn't familiar with picking cuts of steak and what a marbling score is, which is a little annoying. But I would much rather get more information than I need than not enough information to make a decision. Please give this place a try after a trip to the museum or pick up to make dinner after a long day working downtown for my Broadway Corridor folks! read more

One of the best meat markets if not the best meat market in San Antonio during this harsh winner when everybody's close nobody has water or power the grocery store lines are long this meat market stepped up to the challenge they had plenty of product friendly service in great prices and this is my first time going here and then I was able to go next door to the barbecue restaurant with my wife and have a good lunch without a long wait they won my business for life read more

Delicious, high-quality prepared specialty foods, both meats and side dishes. These are lavish comfort foods "done up" with good ingredients and layers of flavor. Extremely customer-centric service, friendly/helpful and engaging team is a delight to visit and "talk shop" about cooking, ingredients, regional cuisine. This is a charming place and so handy. The food is of a quality that can be served to guests and would also be ideal to take along to a pot-luck, or take into an office for a special reward or recognition employee luncheon, or a great comfort to friends who may be temporarily unable to cook for themselves. I have tried and enjoyed their delicious pot roast (tender, savory), shepherd's pie (hearty and flavorful), smoked turkey (lean and light, delicious), risotto (savory and custard-like), Bolognese sauce... all uniformly delicious. On a practical note, the food also freezes well. I also notice the excellent quality of the take-away containers and packaging (heavy metal tins with sturdy lids fit properly and can be re-used). I will keep this food handy in my freezer for drop-in guests, or as a reward after a long week. read more

We went here the first week of ya moving to San Antonio. The guy was super helpful and answered all my questions about the different cuts. He was courteous and friendly. We ended up going with aged rib eye and holy hell, it was the best steak we've ever had for a good price! Their house made seasoning is BOMB, we put it in food other than steak or grilled stuff. We always tell our friends about this place! read more
