Vincek's Smokehouse

Well was coming back from a fishing trip and passed by this place and the smell was amazing, so I stopped. The vibe I got was an old county store with good old folks. The place has a large bar with cut meats and cold slices. At the far end they have BBQ and other plates depending on the day. Any ways walked in people were nice, and informed us to order then pay. I ordered a two meat combo (ribs and brisket). The brisket was moist and soft. The pork ribs were delicious soft but lacked some seasoning. (My opinion some people may just like the smoked flavor). They gave me a healthy serving, you will not leave this place hungry. Oh I forgot I purchased some hog-head cheese wish was amazing too!

Vincek's Smokehouse is several minutes from anywhere but I find myself making the drive once a month. It's small country butcher shop with limited parking space in a small town that stays packed with locals and people like me making the trip. There is a fresh meat counter, several frozen options and cooked food to go. There are also baked goods but not enough of an offering to be called a bakery in my opinion. So why do I go? They have house made sausages that are outstanding and a hit at my cookouts. I also love the fresh pan sausage, ribeye steaks (fresh and frozen), and the fried fish plates as a treat for making the drive.

This is really one of those small town stops that makes you glad you took the state roads from one destination to the other as opposed to sticking to the Interstates.A couple of friends "dragged" us here in lieu of our normal stop at Buc-ee's. While I was initially skeptical that it would be a worthy replacement, my misgivings were unwarranted.No, there wasn't a wide selection of beaver nuggets and fudge, but what they do carry is spectacular. High quality cuts of meat, smoked beef sticks and jerky, kolaches and pastries, and excellent barbecue sandwiches.We ended up grabbing some beef sticks, which were well smoked, seasoned, and tasted freshly made, and some barbecue sandwiches. We didn't tuck into the sandwiches for almost two hours due to the rest of the commute home and unpacking. Despite the fact that the sandwiches were down to room temperature, they were still some of the best brisket sandwiches we've ever had.This is definitely going to become a regular stop on my path in future.

Man, oh, man the chicken fried steak was over the top good today. So tender and perfectly fried. You know it's good meat--it comes from their own meat market.

On my way to San Marcos with a few friends and they declared this place was a keeper. I said...why not? Well inside is small and kinda disappointing when you are spoiled by places like Buccee's. However, they have an impressive array of meats to buy, which will make for great grilling events and barbecue. I was rather impressed by just how great it all looked. They had small little things to buy for snacks like jerky, cheese, sausages, crackers, which were okay. However, to me their best selling point is their barbecue meals and sweet bread. The sliced barbecue sandwich tasted amazing even after a long drive home. I was highly impressed. I think fresh must have been even better. I don't know how you can't like the food here. As far as the mood this place, it seems to be like this secret spot that only locals know. I did not see many people walking in as if though they were travelers, the way Buccee's clients walk around dazed.I definitely think you should come here, because those lunch specials are super worth it.

4 days in East Bernard and 3 trips to Vincek's! Got my summer sausage, smoked cheese and firecrackers to take back home to Oregon. Love the lunch plates, brisket, kolaches and people! Everyone is always so friendly and helpful!

Great place to pick up some meats for the grill, smoker or fridge and to munch on good Que before you hit the road home.Country store feel with nice people at each counter to help you along the way. Walk in and head to the back right to order your Que or straight to the meat counter for your order of fresh meats.Jak Se Mas?

Amazing quality of meats from variety of steaks, pork chops to chicken! Different varieties of sausage beef, beef and pork to venison sausage! They also have several different summer sausage to select from! So if you're looking for fresh cut meat this is the place to come! Their service is great and welcoming when you step through the door!

The brisket is amazing! I love the baked beans too. The potato salad is good too. Kolaches are great as well! Highly recommended
