Three 3 Meat Plate
Maria L.

They have a drive through. Love drive thru convenience. Highly recommend the chocolate cake! I couldn't wait for a fork. ~$4 and change. We got the brisket, burnt ends and turkey. Everything was scrumptious.service was quick as expected for drive through. They have breakfast available as well and the three meat plate is about $19.

1st time here, place was slow for lunch which is good thing, walked straight to the front. Staff was very nice. Portions are adequate 2 nice sized ribs, a nice portion of sausage but brisket was kinda thin in size. Good eats over all.

Chopped BBQ

We haven't been here since it opened. And I remember it used to be good. I had the chopped BBQ sandwich and it was ok. My low rating is due to the infested drink station full of gnats. And the once delicious iced tea used to be so good, tasted like they made it with water from La mangera (water-hose outside) iykyk. I will stick to True Texas BBQ for the price of these two meals it's worth the drive to True Texas after all.

Brisket, chicken, potato salad & green beans
Didi M.

Came to Smokey Mo's for the first time last week.. I was very surprised at how great the food is.. came again the following week. Moist brisket, juicy chicken, tasty sausage and generous servings. My new go to place for BBQ.

Beef brisket, turkey, chicken plate. Sides coleslaw, green beans and red potatoes. Good neighborhood straightforward bbq joint. Service was quick. Clean tables and counters. Recommended!

Sweet Gallon of Tea
Chassidy L.

Food was good until i opened up my chicken. Biggest complaint my gallon sweet tea had salt instead of sugar!! Like, how you do that at a restaurant. I had to go drink from the jug to make sure I wasn't going crazy. I was so ready for some sweet tea.

Drive thru
Samantha G.

This is not the first time we come here, first time was a delivered by Doordash and didn't disappoint, everything was well packed, and the flavors were/are great! Brisket and baked potatoes were in that order... Can you imagine this with pickles and onions? :)) If you are looking for breakfast tacos, this can be your place, they have drive-thru service, if you drive all the way to the back street. The morning staff was very friendly, it was around 9:00am and we grabbed tacos before hitting the road, bug smiles and some "hellos" :) Brisket taco or bacon and egg taco, everything is delicious! This is my favorite taco to-go from this area, but they also have dining area.

Saw the reviews and decided to treat myself to lunch at Pinkerton's today and OMG!…read more The line to get in stretched onto the sidewalk and it took about an hour to reach the counter which was the standard setup for local bbq. Cold sides, hot sides, then MEAT!! A Warm peach cobbler individually boxed and kept on the counter over the warm sides. They don't have meal plates; so you order the meats by the pound or by how many slices you want. I went with 3 slices of brisket and 3 slices of smoked turkey breast and a small side of cole slaw. The brisket was fall-apart tender and did not need a knife or either of their BBQ sauces; the turkey had a wonderful smoky flavor and didn't need any sauces either. The slaw had a nice tang to it without being too sweet. The main dining room has family style tables but was nowhere near crowded. There are picnic tables outside as well. Lots of stuffed animals and heads hanging on the walls. The brisket was a bit pricey ($35/lb) but not unexpected due to the current cost of beef; the turkey was $24/lb. All in all excellent quality and value!

Stopped by on a Thursday afternoon around 4 pm and there's a line. I found myself about 10 parties…read moreaway from the steps onto the porch. It took about 35-40 minutes to get to the door and another 10-15 inside. Service wise, all the servers were friendly. The main reason why the line take me so long is each order is customized. You can order by piece (1 or 2 ribs, 1 or 2 slices of brisket, etc) and it's weighed or you can order by pound. If you get pork ribs, try not to get the last piece...there's no meat on it and you're essentially paying for the bone. You'll order from 3 different stations (sides, dessert then meats) I opted to skip the sides to focus on trying the different meats and a dessert. The dessert was the mistake. I got the banana foster by staff recommendation. It didn't have any chunks of banana and too much cinnamon. But the worst thing is getting sick from it. I'd probably come back to try the beef ribs and sides next time I'm in the area. The brisket was one of the best I've ever had. It was tender juicy and not too fat. The pork ribs were very tender except for the end piece which was a little dry. The sausage was OK, nothing special. The two flavors of BBQ sauce (sweet and original) were different but okay.

I thoroughly enjoyed the he second cut brisket also with the m&c as well as the cole slaw which was spot on! Nice and flavorful without being too sweet. Unfortunately we didn't have room for dessert but the peach cobbler we saw looked amazing!

When they finally came to my table asked for the check and asked how everything was, I said it was ok. Didn't offer to ask if they could do something different. I would say try some other place on the river walk, this one wasn't worth it.

Luckily, we had dinner at Boudro's before a ghost tour, and neither one of these events was scary. We started with the oysters which were unique and delicious.

I started with a prickly pear margarita, which was a little too sweet for my liking, although I'm not usually a fan of sweet drinks. For an appetizer, I ordered the shrimp cocktail, which was incredibly fresh and delicious. My only complaint? I wish there had been more than five pieces! For my main course, I had the double rib pork chop, and it was fantastic. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and paired with a sweet potato pineapple hash that was absolutely divine. Service was great overall, and our server was lovely. My only minor gripe was that we weren't given knives for our entrees, particularly when ordering a pork chop, and I wish that had been noticed and addressed a little sooner. All in all, a wonderful dining experience in a prime River Walk location. I would definitely return the next time I find myself in San Antonio!

Party of 2, dined on Monday 1100, Monday 2300 and Tuesday 0900…read more OVERALL Great service, great food, great ambiance. SERVICE Two out three of our servers were named Marie/Maria and Leeza. All three servers were attentive, kind, and helpful. We received water and coffee refills without asking. ALL AMERICAN We exerperienced this meal two different days. The potatoes are deliciously seasoned and crispy yet soft and fluffy. Hard boiled eggs were prepared perfectly and arrived hot. The chicken sausages were sweet and savory. The preserve was divine, well bodied, and high quality. The wheat and sourdough toasts were toasted just right where they were crisp and soft. TEXAS WAFFLE Worth a try! Crisp, fluffy, and perfectly texture and flavored waffle. Great size for sharing. The berries topped with were fresh. The fresh whipped cream was creamy and thick and refreshing. STEEL CUT OATMEAL This is a large portion and great for 2-3 people. The oats were cooked tender with the right amount of water content. The bananas and blueberries were fresh and ripe. The toasted coconut was browned well, flavorful, and crisp. The honey and hemp seeds(?) Were a great addition. FRUIT CUP All fruit were ripe and fresh: honeydew, cantaloupe, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, pineapple. Crispy Chicken Wings Elected guajillo buffalo flavor. Great amount of heat and tang. Well-rounded flavor compared to a simple buffalo flavor. Accouterments in clouded fresh celery and Picasa. Smoky ranch was flavorful, not too rich, and a smooth consistency. Q Burger Elected a medium cooked burger. Very delicious, juicy, flavorful and balanced. All ingredients complimented each other. A burger lover would really enjoy this burger. AMBIANCE Very high ceiling. Open, fresh space. Surrounding sound was relaxing with the indoor river flowing next to the Q Kitchen. Cool climate control. Gentle country music low enough to hear and have a quiet conversation. Lights are lowered during late night dining.

Favorite item was the Alamo huevos rancheros. This was a rare treat to enjoy a dish with brisket, cheese, and salsa without some kind of heartburn afterwards. But this was lighter than expected and tasted amazing! Other dishes we tried: Egg white frittata: very good and a nice touch that it is served in a skillet! Texas waffle: was one of the best waffles either of us has had in a long time Blueberry pancakes: very good. I really enjoyed the stewed blueberry Chilaquiles: this we felt was the only miss. Didn't like that it was prepared with tortilla chips instead of fried tortillas Steak and eggs: ask for extra chimichurri sauce and maybe add some extra salt. Once you do that, this dish is fantastic Avocado toast: this definitely needs smoked salmon or other protein. Otherwise it isn't very substantial. I had it with smoked salmon and it really hit the spot. The service was polite and attentive. We're excited to return for our next visit

I didn't need extra fat from avocado after the corn cakes since it doesn't add much flavor to the dish. The corn cakes are good and I will order again but not as good as some other cornbread. It came with 2 cakes. One was undercooked and one has a crispy crust. The undercooked one was my favorite. It is more moist with soft in the middle. Tuna Al Pastor has a kick but nothing special. Tres Leches was beautiful. 4/5. I like the fresh fruits to cut down the sweetness. The cake was a bit in the dense side. The icing on top was thick. I wish it was a fluffy whip cream to cut down from all the sweetness. Overall it's still a better tres leches than other places in the area.

They will start you out with chips and salsa and those were really good. The chips are very thick and tasty while the salsa is thick like a mole but very tasty and deep in flavor. So many items on the menu looked good, so I started with the tiki cocktail and a mangonada while deciding what to order. Both drinks were really delicious of course. I decided on the fajita plate and the birria. I thought the fajita was the better of the two dishes, but makes sense since beef is more expensive than goat. The fajitas come with tortillas, but these seemed to be stored bought and not homemade. Beans were very good though. Overall, I was very impressed and would come back again if I was ever in the area.
