It was a nice hearty sandwich with good amount of pastrami included. The staff was ultra friendly and even helped clear up our decision on Boots burger or Wells. We ended up getting both. Nice little food tour through old downtown Rockwall. The Bagel Lady was ultra inviting and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed.

Not only did I order ahead and get the text that it was ready, but I still had to wait nearly 15 minutes before I was greeted with my order. Extremely disappointed in that. So my food nor my coffee was fresh. Additionally, I ended up losing a lot of respect for this place and the ownership when I walked in and to my surprise there was some sort of Trumpie and republican event going on. Knowing she allowed this sort of convention in her establishment speaks enough to her morals and integrity. I will no longer be spending money here.

I had sent a DM to the pit master about our visit and placing an order to pick up. Unfortunately they didn't have brisket at the time of our visit but everything else we got was wonderfully delicious. We picked up the Texas Trinity w/Ribs, sausage & pork belly burnt ends with 2 sides. Every thing was delicious but the ribs were the star of the plate. Thank you Smoak Town BBQ for cooking delicious food. They are currently located at a food park but will be moving into a brick and mortar.

Smoak Town BBQ I…read morestopped by Smoak Town BBQ after hearing great things -- and it definitely lived up to the hype! I ordered the one meat plate with brisket, mac & cheese, and beans. The brisket was tender, flavorful, and had that perfect smoke ring and bark you hope for in Texas barbecue. The beans were hearty and had shredded meat in them -- they were good, just a little spicier than my usual style. The mac & cheese was awesome -- creamy, cheesy, and the perfect comfort side. The barbecue sauce was spot-on too ~ rich, tangy, and full of flavor. The outdoor setup adds to the experience ~ picnic tables under a covered area, stacks of wood, and that unmistakable BBQ aroma in the air. It's got that laid-back, small-town Texas charm where everyone's just enjoying good food and good company. The lady who took our order was so sweet and welcoming -- a true example of Southern hospitality. She made the experience even better! The line wasn't long, and we didn't have to wait too long for our food -- a big plus on a busy day. They also have banana bread pudding, which I didn't get to try this time, but it's on my list for next visit. Overall, Smoak Town BBQ is a solid spot that earns its Texas Monthly Top 50 recognition. Great food, friendly service, and an authentic Texas BBQ vibe. I only give HONEST and TRUE Reviews from the Heart. Thank you for taking the time to read it & react to it.
