    I was in Dallas for about 48 hours and knew I had to try some barbecue while running errands. I…read morecame across this spot in a shopping center right near where I needed to be, checked the reviews, and decided to give it a shot and I'm so glad I did. As soon as I walked in, who I believe was the owner greeted me and was one of the kindest, most welcoming people I've met. He took the time to walk me through the menu and answer my questions, which I really appreciated. I ended up ordering one of their loaded potatoes with pulled pork and beef, and it was incredible (you get a good amount of meat) honestly this potato was big enough for two people to share. I also tried the mac and cheese and green beans soooo good! I didn't finish most of it, but only because I had to get back to work I knew if I ate the whole thing, I wouldn't get anything done after! That's how filling it was. The atmosphere was great too. Plenty of seating, multiple TVs playing NCAA games very welcoming vibe. There was a steady flow of takeout orders I can imagine this place gets pretty busy on weekends. As someone from Los Angeles, it was really refreshing to experience such genuine hospitality. You don't always get that level of care and patience when ordering back home. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Dallas so I can come back and try more of the menu.

On Thursdays they happen to have a $10 special where you can get a sandwich and a side and me and my dad ordered one for there and one for to go For sides, I had the collard greens which were delicious and the potato salad which had an interesting tangled to it, but I enjoyed it. Plenty of seating and the staff were timely and professional. Definitely will be going back in the future.

There's a huge yard out back with plenty of picnic tables, which makes it perfect for hanging out when the weather's nice. Inside, the space is small, comfy, and neat. It feels well put together without trying too hard. There's even a fireplace that adds a nice touch--no idea if it's actually working, but it fits the vibe. The staff here really stands out. Super friendly, very polite, and they keep things simple--you order at the corner, grab a seat, and they bring the food out to you. Easy and efficient. I went with the brisket taco, and it delivers. This isn't a tiny street taco--it's loaded. You get brisket, salsa negra, avocado crema, and pickled onions. The balance works really well. The salsa brings some acidity to cut through the fat, while the crema smooths everything out. Every bite comes together nicely. As for the brisket itself, the seasoning is solid but not overly aggressive. Personally, I'd like a bit more bark--it was a little thin for my taste. That said, the smoke ring is very prominent, and you can taste that deeper smoke flavor. Texture-wise, it was very tender--easily cut with a plastic fork. I did catch it later in the afternoon, and the lean slices were just a bit on the dry side for me. Overall, the vibe here is awesome and the tacos are legit. This is a spot I'll definitely be coming back to--looking forward to giving the brisket another shot, plus trying the pork ribs and some sides.

Turkey all white meat and dry. Cornbread stuffing was an unflavored brick that was thrown away. The greens. Canned. Green beans unseasoned. Mac and cheese unseasoned. Mashed potatoes tasted like instant potatoes. My aunt tried to salvage the meal by seasoning EVERYTHING and rebaking the Mac with additional cheese. Which caused the Mac to be over cooked but tolerable. I have never in my life not finished a plate or left w/o leftovers for a thanksgiving meal. We threw away the leftovers and dinner was terrible. I'm not sure if this is the norm for this business but if the regular menu is terrible like the catered meal on an important holiday was I can not and do not recommend.

I'm not from DeSoto, was visiting a friend & took my 4 grandkids there for a late lunch. The lady behind the counter was friendly enough taking our order. But when I asked for french fries or fried okra, she told me to go next door - actually referred me to the restaurant next door! She said to go order that while she prepares our food. I did but when I got back, the teens had already rec'd their sandwiches. She brought me mine & asked if I had ordered my fries. I said yes but it will take 7 minutes. What? She said - it doesn't take that long. You start on your sandwich & I'll go get your fries. She went next door & came back with my fries! The okra wasn't ready, she said she'd go back for that, which she did! Her hubby, Ray came out for a break (it was well after the lunch rush on a Saturday) & she introduced us. What out of this world service!! Ray sat down in a booth with another gentleman who was watching a football game on the restaurant's TV up in the corner. The restaurant was spotless. Tables were neat and floor was spotless. You must wear a mask to enter any of the restaurants in the shopping center. You place your order at a huge plexiglass protecting the employees. Now about the food - OMG the sandwich was huge! and so fresh. We all got chopped beef - the sandwich was packed with fresh, hot tasty meat. It was served with a little cup of BBQ sauce, awesome flavor. The bun was fat, fresh, toasted and hot. One grandson order pulled pork - he said it was amazing. Another grandson ordered a loaded baked potato, that looked good, but it was gone quickly, so I didn't get a photo. When we left, my pickup wouldn't start. I asked the boys to go in & ask if they had jumper cables. They returned saying that Ray's wife would go get cables. Seconds later she left & ret'd shortly. She pulled up next to me & the gentleman who was inside watching the game came out & applied the cables for us. My truck started right away. I gave her a hug (can't believe I didn't ask her name) and she told me to be blessed. Then she turned to the teens and said ya'll be blessed! We did honestly receive a blessing by stopping here. This will be my go-to place when I am visiting my buddy in DeSoto. Thank goodness for sweet, kind & caring people who go out of their way for you. And visit the suburbs occasionally - we big-city people need to get away more often!

    We went to Smokey Joe's because it landed on the Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ list... and I'll say it…read morestraight, it earned every bit of that recognition. Honestly, it wouldn't shock me if it cracks the Top 10 next time around. This place is exactly what you want in a serious BBQ joint. Small. No frills. Tucked off I-35 in Oak Cliff. A handful of tables inside, a few more outside, and zero wasted energy on anything that doesn't involve the food. That's usually a good sign... and it was. I went all in with the Texas Trinity Plate. Brisket, pork ribs, jalapeño sausage. No regrets. The brisket was the star. Deep, dark bark with a heavy pepper kick that hit right away. Perfect smoke ring. Tender without falling apart. Juicy without being greasy. Every bite had that rich, smoky flavor that separates good BBQ from the real deal. The ribs were solid. Great flavor, nice bite, but leaned a little heavy on the smoke for me. Not a deal breaker, just noticeable. Still very good and worth ordering. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was a win. Juicy, packed with flavor, and just enough heat to keep things interesting without overpowering everything else. Then the surprise... the sweet potato casserole. That thing deserves its own review. Rich, slightly sweet, and those candied pecans on top took it to another level. Not an afterthought side, this was legit. Bottom line... Smokey Joe's is the kind of place BBQ people talk about when they say "you've gotta try this spot." It absolutely holds its own among the best in Texas, especially outside that elite Top 10 tier. If you're serious about BBQ, don't overthink it. Go.

    I'm thrilled and surprised to say these are the best ribs I've had in 47 years of life! I read the…read moreample research of "Best BBQ" in Dallas and this comes up on top and everyone is right. Flavorful, melt in your mouth quality while still being lightly crispy skin on the outside. Perfect. I got the rib plate (3 big ribs) and got it with okra and beans, my friend got sweet potatoes and all the sides hit it out of the park also! Can't wait to come back!

The ribs, which we paid extra for, were extra dry, and the sausage had no color to it, as if it was not even cooked. About the only halfway edible was the brisket, which is all we could eat. The sides lacked flavor, seasoning, whichever, and the fries were dripping with oil, so that even the container they came in was soaked. How can you live in Texas, call your establishment a barbecue place, and not know how to cook barbecue?
