November 05, 2026 // Franchising.com // SPRING BRANCH, Texas – Smokey Mo’s BBQ is celebrating the grand reopening of its newly remodeled Spring Branch restaurant on Friday, November 13, from 5–7 p.m. The festivities will feature food and drink specials, family-friendly activities and a fundraiser benefiting the Smithson Valley High School Band, while showcasing the brand's first remodeled drive-thru location.

Located at 19851 TX-46 in Berry Oaks Plaza, the restaurant will offer $5 Sloppy Mo’s sandwiches, $2 beers and $1 fountain drinks, along with face painting, giveaways and more. Sales from the event will benefit the Smithson Valley High School Band, giving the community a chance to enjoy their favorite Texas barbecue while supporting local student musicians. Attendees are encouraged to RSVP ahead of the celebration by visiting the Smokey Mo’s Spring Branch website.

“Investing in our existing locations is just as important as opening new restaurants, and Spring Branch is a great example of that commitment,” said Craig Haley, CEO of Smokey Mo’s BBQ. “We want to ensure our restaurants continue meeting the needs of local communities, whether they’re stopping in for a quick meal or feeding the whole family. With Thanksgiving around the corner, we’re especially pleased to reopen in time for guests to take advantage of our Heat & Serve holiday offerings, including whole smoked turkeys and complete Thanksgiving feasts.”

The Spring Branch remodel marks an important step in Smokey Mo’s ongoing efforts to refresh its restaurants and improve convenience for guests. As the brand's first remodeled drive-thru location, it also highlights a growing focus on enhancing accessibility and creating a more efficient dining experience. The project is part of a series of restaurant updates designed to strengthen operations while maintaining the neighborhood atmosphere that has defined Smokey Mo's for more than 25 years.

Guests can enjoy a variety of Texas barbecue favorites, including brisket, turkey, pulled pork, sausage and chicken, all smoked in-house daily and served by the plate, sandwich or taco. The menu also features homestyle sides, desserts and breakfast options, offering something for every appetite throughout the day. In addition to its everyday offerings, Smokey Mo’s provides catering services for events of all sizes, from office lunches to family celebrations and local gatherings.

Beyond its restaurant remodels, Smokey Mo’s continues investing in the infrastructure supporting its next phase of growth. Recent improvements include a redesigned website, PAR Online Ordering and PAR POS across its system, aimed at streamlining operations and enhancing the ordering experience. The brand also recently named Von Dawson Vice President of Franchise Development to lead its development pipeline and expand its presence in new and existing Texas markets.

With 22 restaurants across the Austin, San Antonio and Houston areas, Smokey Mo’s remains focused on growing through both franchise development and corporate expansion while strengthening the operations and guest experience at its existing locations.
