The Pig Pen

Honestly if I was making a review based on just the food here, it would be five stars. The BBQ that the Smoke Shack is serving up is the best. Nice and greasy, and delicious. YUM. But I'm not reviewing just the food that's located at the little truck in the back of the bar. I'm reviewing the bar itself. Which is good, for the most part. The bar consists of two bar areas. One catering to the inside, where there is a band that usually plays, and the outside catering to a playground that kids can enjoy while their parents partake in inhibitors that the bar offers. 
I came on a Saturday night, during a  Spurs game (towards the end of it), with myself and three friends. My friends were hungry, so we went straight to the little food truck in the back to get some BBQ, which is when we learned that the little shack in the back is only where they make the food....but you actually have to order at the Bar. When you order the bar gives you a number and the servers at the bar will bring your food out to you. Which was a little weird, given that the silver wear, onions, pickles and usual BBQ fixings were next to the truck, so if you needed any of those things you would have to go over there anyway. 

In any case. We ordered, they stop serving food at 10, and then stop serving drinks at 12. (Which if you ask me is kinda of early for a bar on a saturday night, but to each their own.)
My friends got the Brisket Nachos, Two Punches and a Taco. After ringing in the order, and bringing us our drinks that Bartender let my friends know that they were out of Brisket, and suggested Pulled pork instead. So that's what we got! Pulled Pork Nachos.

The Punches were pretty good. They were kind of small, and they were basically Long Island Iced Teas but with a different name. So a classic, with a name twist. Cant's really go wrong. The PULLED PORK NACHOS THOUGH. This shit is kind of expensive, it's like 12 bucks for the Nachos. BUT YOU GET SOOOO MUCH! There were four of us, two of which were really hungry. After the two that originally ordered the nachos ate some, the rest of us shared what was left. Which was about 3/4 of the plate. An hour later, and were still weren't able to finish them. Four grown women couldn't finish a plate of nachos. I am ashamed. But that just lets you know how big these things actually are. They are pricey, but well worth the money. 

Now the reason there is 4 star review instead of something higher, is simply because of the service. While everyone there is very nice, and friendly, it did take them quite awhile to actually come to us in order to get our order. We sat at the bar for about ten minutes before someone greeted us. Then after ordering the service was still slow with getting the drinks out.

If the speed of service is worked on, I will totally be back.

Smoke Shack is also good? I think? They have the same food; as does the truck which i tried two years ago.....
