San Antonio, get ready to fire up your taste buds! Smokey Mo’s BBQ is bringing their mouth-watering, slow-smoked barbecue to a new location, just minutes away from the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). This long-awaited opening comes at a time when the university is experiencing a growth spurt in enrollment, with over 35,900 students registered for classes this semester. Yes, you heard that right—it’s a bustling time for both students and their new favorite barbecue joint!

Grand Opening Celebration

Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 21, when Smokey Mo’s BBQ will officially open its doors at the brand-new Roadrunner Creek Retail Center off UTSA Blvd.. The grand opening event kicks off at 10 a.m. and runs until 2 p.m., and you won’t want to miss the special deal: $5 chopped sandwiches! You can indulge in these delicious bites while celebrating the arrival of this new culinary gem.

More Than Just BBQ

But wait, there’s more! The festivities will include a basket raffle featuring fantastic prizes like free tacos, barbecue sauce, dry rubs, spices, and even t-shirts. For the cherry on top, five lucky guests will win a year’s worth of free Smokey Mo’s BBQ. Imagine that—a whole year of smoky goodness at your fingertips!

In a heartwarming move, Smokey Mo’s BBQ will donate all proceeds from the gift basket fundraiser to support Clark High School student Branden Esquivel in his campaign for the Fiesta Especial Royal Court. This initiative is part of a larger effort by disABILITYsa, a charity dedicated to uplifting and educating the disability community in San Antonio. It’s a great way to enjoy some tasty food while also contributing to a worthy cause!
