Reviews for The Cookshack in Selma, TX
This place just opened, so we thought we would go check it out. We had no idea what to expect. It is a counter-service... restaurant with lots of outdoor seating. They have chicken and ribs and plenty of sides. You get to choose your level of heatfor either which, interestingly, is a dry rub, not a sauce. You can even apply it to the fries. The hottest level is calledAMF. My wife loves spicy things, so she ordered the Chicken and Waffles and asked for the AMF level. The cashier lookedsurprised and said, "Are you sure?" That took us aback. Apparently, the AMF level is no joke. My wife insisted and theyliterally made her sign a waiver (starting with "I, being of sound mind...") before they let her order it. Her biggest worrywas that it would taste bad. As I said, she loves spicy and often gets the "spicy challenge" whatever at restaurants. But shefeels that often, places sacrifice taste to get a higher heat. They care about the gimmick, but not the food. The hottest thingsshe has eaten usually taste nasty. That was not the case this time! She thought the chicken was very good. Unfortunately, theywere not joking about the heat and she was only able to eat about three bites before succumbing to the inferno. Be warned. Butshe also loved the waffles and they were not spicy at all. The rest of our party got Chicken Tacos, Shack Bites, and the dailyspecial, Hog Heaven. We all enjoyed our food and the portions were generous. The Mac and Cheese was good, but not great. TheTexas Hot level of heat is plenty hot enough on its own and no waiver is required. Read more

Wow a new place in town that I found and it is really good. Located in the forum shopping center on the northeast side of San... Antonio right on I-35. Cookshack has been open for about 2 weeks now. Several different food options to choose from. Tonight Ihad chicken and waffles with mac and cheese and a sweet tea. The waffles are freshly made as you order it. The chicken tenderswere large and had a very unique good taste to them. I really enjoyed the chicken tenders and the waffle. The mac and cheese andnothing to brag about seem like it had been in a container for a while until it finally got served to me. There's several itemsto choose from there they also have different kinds of sauces from mild all the way up to super hot. Website has some goodinformation about it. Good size seating area. Had a small little bar area for mixed drinks and beer. Really enjoyed my visittonight look forward to going back soon and trying something else. I definitely recommend this restaurant on the northeast sideof San Antonio give it a try. You won't be disappointed. Read more
