    Plate of deliciousness
    Sean L.

    "We followed the Smoak... and found BBQ glory at the end of the trail." TL;DR: Smoak Town BBQ brought the fire. Brisket, turkey, and pulled pork were all bark, bite, and beauty. The sides held their own. Hospitality was five-star, straight from the pitmaster's heart. Worth every mile and every empty stomach rumble on the road to BBQ salvation. This one smokes the competition. It's early on a Saturday morning. The truck's full of gas, the cooler's iced down like a Yeti in January, and I've got a few cans of Celsius riding shotgun. The mission? Four BBQ joints in one day, and Smoak Town BBQ was stop number one. The wife, aka my side dish queen, decided to sit this East Texas meat parade out. Said something about wanting to "catch up on work." Translation: she didn't want to be trapped in a brisket-scented truck with two grown men arguing over which pitmaster has the best bark. Her loss. My buddy Big D rolled up right on time, and we hit the road with the same focus as a pitmaster watching a firebox. First stop: Smoak Town BBQ, nestled in the heart of Fate. By 10:15, we were pulling into a food park that had more wood stacks than a small lumber yard. Official opening time was 11, but we figured a little Texas charm and hungry eyes might work in our favor. Pitmaster Cameron Haley greeted us like we were family showing up late to Sunday dinner. No hesitation. No fuss. He built us a plate that could've made a grown man weep. That plate? A trio of meat magic: thick-cut turkey slices that were moist and seasoned like Thanksgiving came early, brisket with a bark that crackled like campfire kindling and a center that surrendered like slow-simmered butter, and pulled pork so tender I thought about calling it sweetheart. Mac and cheese came creamy, beans came bold, and that homemade sauce? It was the kind of dark, tangy elixir you want to bottle and baptize your next brisket in. The setting? Casual. Honest. Covered seating and small-town pride hanging in the air. His sons were out "hunting frogs" nearby, which, let's be honest, is just elite-level prep work for future BBQ pitmasters. We cleaned our plate like it owed us money. No leftovers. No regrets. Just smiles and sauce-stained fingers. We shook Cameron's hand and promised to be back when we had time to linger and eat slow. This place deserves a second visit with the full crew and side dish queen in tow. 18th stamp in the passport collected. 32 to go.

    Brisket and ribs !

    It was so good! I got the brisket - my mom got the ribs. It was tender & flavorful - sides were amazing! Also the banana pudding & potato salad were

    We absolutely love Smoak Town BBQ! It's the best BBQ ever! We love the people, fun atmosphere, and dog friendly seating area. This week we ordered ahead for our game party. The wonderful crew loaded my car with freshly prepared food. The BBQ and sides were perfection! Thank you Smoak Town BBQ for making our party a huge win!

    Brisket and Pork Belly Burnt Ends.

    Exceeded all expectations! I had heard about this place a while ago and now regret I took so long to try it. The Pork Belly Burnt Ends are phenomenal and the brisket is delicious too!!! This is now our favorite BBQ place!

    Ribs, turkey, Mac and cheese and potato salad.

    Haven't been here in a while but was craving some bbq. Got a two meat plate with two sides. Ribs were delicious and I'm still thinking about that potato salad. Service was quick. Got my food in less than 5 minutes. There is a large tented seating area with TV's. Maybe when the weather is in the 70's, I would stay. Was a bit too hot today. Definitely a good spot to have right in Downtown Fate.

    My wife and I tried this place for lunch on a Friday and it was good. We got there around 1030 not knowing if there would be a line or not, and we were the first people there. We tried the 2 meat plates. My wife got the turkey and sausage. I tried the brisket and pulled pork. They had a special that day of PB&J burnt ends, but they would not let you do a 3 meat plate with it because it was a special order. It was $16.50 for 1/2 pound so I stuck with the 2 meat, but when I went to pick up the order they decided to let me try 1/4 pound of the PB&J burnt ends for $8.50. For sides we had the corn, potato salad, beans and mac and cheese. For the two 2 meat plates with sides and 2 sodas it was $67. We made multiple meals out of it. The sides were great. The corn had a sweeter flavor to it which I enjoyed. My wife didn't care for the turkey (weird after taste) but she liked the sausage. The pulled pork was tasty. The brisket was good, but a tad dry. Overall, it was a good lunch and it's definitely worth checking out. But, being so far away from Dallas, nothing stood out to make me want to make the trek again.

    Double patty brisket burger comes with chips

    This place is seriously amazing. We came on Wednesday about 12 as suggested for the brisket burger and wow just wow. They only do burgers on Wednesday and this is the day to come. It literally melts in your mouth. They could not have been any nicer too. It's a food truck with good parking and good seating. We will come back for the meats

    Mac n' cheese with brisket over the top!

    Saturday 11am, Sep 28th. Second time here and awesome. Had the pork ends. Oh man! Corn had a cinnamon thing going on and the beans had a lot of heat. So dang good. $18 for wifey and I to share this.

    Pulled Pork BBQ sandwich, smoked with natural Oak Wood you see in photo.

    Located in the outdoor food court called Fate Food Haul, in Fate, Texas, this smoked meats outdoor diner serves up a variety of BBQ plates, or sandwiches, and can easily cater a big takeout order for families, picnics, gameday, etc. *Open until sold-out. Selling great food is easy, then you sell-out, and the party is over for that day. Get here as early as you can, treat your Boss to lunch, just make a plan! Everything is smoked daily, and the sides are fresh. Staff will call your Name, not a number, and hand-carry your order to you, make sure you have everything. Wendesdays are still Brisket Burger Day, if you have not tried these, hump on over on Hump Day, with an appetite! Today being Friday, I got the Pulled Pork. Sandwich Plate. This was a hill of meat, stacked up on a fresh soft bun. Tender, light smoky flavor, no dry parts. Good bbq sauce, but I hardly use a tablespoon so the Smoak Town flavor don't get covered up. Fate Brought Me Here, I'm Done.

    Smoak town is the best BBQ we've tried yet in the DFW area. If you're in or around Fate, you won't regret giving them a try!

Is this a sign??? No. It's no. Currently, they have beer and wine available. We ordered a beer and it was ice cold. For apps, we had half orders of the meteor bites and pickles. Both fantastic. Served with a yummy ranch and Chipotle ranch. Out fast and hot. Our server Cora was so pleasant and had such a strong desire to please. For dinner we both got the 205 plate. Two meats and two sides. For just over $20. It was a steal compared to most bbq joints. He got brisket and ribs. Both fantastic and I am not a rib girl. So tender. I got the pulled pork and chicken. Both good. But, I won't lie, his was better. Only complaint was wishing the food was just slightly warmer. For sides, creamy Mac n cheese (next time I am getting that topped with brisket), potatoe salad and Cole slaw. Zero complaints. Come on Rockwall. Show up and support a local business.

Boss lady and I came in after the lunch rush. Only three other tables had customers. I ordered the 205 Plate with (what was to be fatty, not. It was cold and dry) brisket and the spicy sausage, which was delicious! My sides were green beans (with bacon) and fried okra...both very tasty. Loved the bread roll. We asked for butter, and they brought out some real whipped butter...SCORE! She had their special flat iron steak, cooked medium rare (always!) with salad and and fries (which need to be done more). Her steak was so tender and cooked perfectly! Dessert was their sampler. With a double order of banana pudding, a bread pudding and a chocolate cake. The best thing was the bread pudding but it needs a warm sauce on it. The others were just Ok. Overall, a good meal and experience. We'll be back to try something different.

The build-your-own burger I made (blt, mayo, and added avocado spread) was FANTASTIC!! The fries were a hit. Sweet potato and plain were both the most amazing addition to their burgers. Loved the spicy and regular ranch! Okay now to the margarita. Strong and tasted pretty good. My husband enjoyed the beer options (purple haze and dark matter). My only beef with the harbor is the parking. I don't feel the infrastructure here is set up for this much volume of stores and customers. Of course this isn't the restaurants' fault.

    My wife and I don't eat burgers often, but when we do, we go straight to Rodeo Goat--any location,…read morereally, because they're all excellent. What makes the Rockwall spot stand out is its incredible outdoor patio, complete with swinging tables and chairs and a beautiful view of the lake. It's one of the best patios around. The burgers themselves are wonderfully creative, often featuring unexpected ingredients--like strawberry compote. On a burger? Absolutely. And it works. I can be a pretty picky eater, but at Rodeo Goat I've learned to trust the menu. Order it the way the chef intended, and you'll be glad you did. You can't go wrong with any Rodeo Goat, but the Rockwall location is especially worth the visit for the views and the outstanding burgers. You won't be disappointed.
