Even better, they had fresh spiral sliced potatoes to dunk in the hot fryer. A shaker of spicy salt amped them up. These were some great potatoes that were delivered quickly after I ordered them even though they were fried to order. This would not happen at the ballpark. Real smoked pork probably wouldn't either. A small barrel smoker sat behind the concession stand, and I could honestly taste some smokiness in the moist meat, which I really expected to be dry given the usual concession expectations.
The show wasn't bad either. Charlie rocked the house, and after a half dozen longnecks I needed another sandwich. Too bad they'd already closed up for the night since the second one would have surely been even better in my altered state. So, if you're headed to Luckenbach on an empty stomach, fear not as the nice German lady behind the counter will fix you up with some pretty good smoked pork. Just don't forget the fried potatoes.

Floore Country Store in Helotes has decent BBQ as well (weekends only). I stopped in one Friday afternoon to purchase some music tickets, and was overwhelmed by the smell coming from the smoker that was churning out front. I couldn't resist, so I ordered a sliced brisket sandwich. What I received was honest to goodness smoked brisket on a delicious toasted bun. I've been back several times since just to satisfy a craving amid the BBQ desert of West San Antonio.
