San Antonio barbecue spot Old Smokehouse quietly closed after 41 years
Medical Center-area barbecue joint Old Smokehouse closed in August with such little fanfare that many are only now noticing its absence. The restaurant, located at 5145 Fredericksburg Road, closed abruptly two months ago, announcing on Facebook Aug. 17 that the next day would be its last. The business had been operating in San Antonio for 41 years. Old Smokehouse was a counter-service-style barbecue joint where customers selected their own meats to build the perfect plate.
