The Schertz restaurant is their third location with the brand, joining existing restaurants in New Braunfels and San Antonio. The location is co-owned with Nathan and Ashlea Page, who have partnered with the Harrises on their Smokey Mo&#8217;s operations since 2015.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When we first joined Smokey Mo&#8217;s, it was because the brand believed in the same things we did: great food, treating guests the right way, and building real relationships in the community,&#8221; Kim Harris said in a statement. &#8220;Nearly 20 years later, those values are still at the core of the business. Opening in Schertz feels like the right next step for us because it&#8217;s a community we know well and are proud to serve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The expansion brings Smokey Mo&#8217;s signature menu of brisket, turkey, pulled pork, sausage and chicken to one of the fastest-growing areas in the San Antonio region.
