POC Chamber Ribbon Cutting for Bubba’s Smoked Meats L to R: Mary Jo Walker, Bubba Conran, Patti Elkins, Bill Tigrett, Leah Griffin, Paul McGee, Kim Conran, Harry Lawrence, Donnie Klesel.

Chamber of Commerce members gathered on Friday, November 2 for the Ribbon Cutting/Grand Opening of this new business, and welcome addition to the Port O’Connor community. The newly-remodeled facility at 704 W. Adams (Hwy 185) is the new home of Bubba’s Smoked Meats, which has moved here from New Braunfels after 29 years in the custom processing and smoked meat trade.

This fully inspected and licensed facility offers a wide variety of smoked meats and cheeses, including sausages, salamis, summer sausage, turkey and beef jerky, old-style jerky, beer sticks, and ham. Most are offered in both regular and jalapeno varieties. In search of a unique holiday gift? Ask the friendly folks at Bubba’s about their custom made gift baskets.

If you are a successful hunter, you can save yourself a lot of work and leave the processing up to Bubba. All the processing equipment (hanging, drying, smoking, packaging) is condensed into their compact and very clean facility. And fisherman, you can have your catch smoked in the mesquite wood smoker as well. Stop by or call 830-237-2482 for details.

Bubba’s Smoked Meats is owned and operated by Kim and Bubba Conran, residents of Matagorda Peninsula. (Seems Clint Bennetsen now has neighbors!) Shop manager, Harry Lawrence, also resides locally.

Stop by Bubba’s Smoked Meats, and you’re sure to find some smoked meat or cheese to your liking. And on Wednesdays, from 11:00 until 2:00 you can enjoy a delicious lunch (Chef’s Choice) at Bubba’s.
