Food was really good today! The loaded cornbread is truly AMAZING. It's just delicious and down right hearty. The flavorful brisket, cheese, beans, sauce, onions, sour cream and cornbread pair well. It loaded goodness and served piping hot. My favorite dish and never disappoints. I just think the cornbread has shrunk . Now I need to get an extra piece. Service is good- fast and friendly! Ambiance smells good and makes me feel hungry and happy. I decided not to get rib tips as they are a hit or miss sometimes. I know I can never go wrong with the loaded cornbread dish. read more

Excellent brisket! Large portion sizes. Will definitely eat here again. Friendly service. Take out only.

Smoke-a-Holics (Fort Worth) A MUST TRY! OMGGG Let me tell y'all about this Loaded Cornbread because WOW. It comes stacked with cornbread, baked beans, chopped brisket, shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions, and BBQ sauce... basically a whole blessing in a bowl. Every bite was flavorful and super filling. I couldn't finish it in one sitting, but the leftovers? Still just as good the next day. I also tried the BBQ Dirty Rice which is rice mixed with black pepper sausage, chicken, and brisket. Very different... but in the best way. Smoky, hearty, and full of flavor. I would most definitely recommend both dishes. I can't wait to go back and try more items off their menu. #FlavorChaserApproved read more

I had never heard of this place before but a friend chose it for lunch so we went. The restaurant and parking lot are very small and there's no inside seating. It was around lunchtime and very busy but the line went fast. The food held up until we got back to the office and was amazing. I would come back. read more

This place is located in an area most people avoid. Please don't let that keep you from some of the best BBQ around. I ordered online for a family get together with my daughter and her husband and kids. The platter had plenty of food, but don't miss the pork burnt ends. They are delicious. The brisket was good, the ribs as good as I've ever tasted, both sausages were tender and juicy, and the chicken tasty. Inside is small but efficient. I was in and out quickly. I fully expect this to make the Texas Monthly top 50. read more

If I'm putting anyone on to BBQ in the city, it's gonna be Smoke-A-Holics. Hands down. Most spots either have great meat or great sides--but this place? They do both and do it well. The brisket? I always get it extra moist--tender and flavorful every time. The ribs are solid, and those burnt ends? So good. But let me talk about the sides for a second because whew. The baked beans are fire, and that thick slice of bread with the pickled onions? Chef's kiss. Even the chicken salad surprised me--it's all good. This is easily my favorite BBQ spot in Fort Worth. Now, heads up--it's not a sit-down kind of place. The vibe is small and simple, and there's usually a line, but it moves quick. I've always been treated with respect and great service, even during the lunch rush. If you haven't tried them yet, don't sleep--they're worth the hype. read more

First time here. We met a very nice lady at an estate sale this morning. BBQ came up. She highly recommended Smoke-A-Holics. The way she raved about it we had to try it. And I'm so very glad we did. I used to be on the Heim bandwagon. Well I can now say THIS is the best BBQ in Fort Worth. It was very good. I had a BBQ potato and my husband had the ribs. We also had the Coca Cola cake. Everything was fabulous. And the sweet girl that took our order was just lovely. A beautiful girl. Thanks so much! Definitely coming back. read more

Well well, am I glad I stopped by here. The fact that Daniel Vaughn of the Texas Monthly mentioned this place should have everything been a clue, but this small BBQ place in the South of Ft. Worth is fantastic! I tried the brisket, turkey, and salami with sides of colalrd greens and smoked mac and cheese. The brisket had a little too much fat for me, but it was well rendered, so that's just a matter of preference. With a nice peppery bark with deep smoke flavor, the taste was excellent. The turkey was juicy and full of of flavor. The salami, I wasn't sure what ro e pect, because I've never had it smoked, but it was delicious. The collards were so flavorful it's ridiculous and the mac and cheese were slightly smokey and cheese. Staff was very friendly, too, so I can only recommend giving them a try. You won't regret it! read more

I was there on a Tuesday and the barbecue was not very good at all it tastes more like it had been cooked wrapped up in fall and steamed. Didn't even have a good barbecue flavor at all . Hopefully it was just an off day! read more

Increeeedible bbq. The brisket was so flavorful and well smoked. Omg I could just keep eating this. The mac and cheese was also flavorful. Pork belly burnt ends were really sweet and my husband loved it but just a bit too sweet for me. read more

So I saw an article yesterday about Soul Food Sunday at Smoke-a-Holics. I've sampled everything in the picture and all of it was delicious and has a nice smoke. For me the Ox-Tails and the Meatloaf are the best items. Next would be the Brisket and Chicken. The pork chops are flavorful just a smidge on the dry side but absolutely edible and better than any other place I've tried I really like the Cajun Corn, Mashed Potatoes and the Collard Greens have a great flavor, very traditional I would say. The Sweet Potatoes remind me of Thanksgiving and are nice just sweet for me, I dont eat sweets. All in all Im very happy with everything and highly recommend Smoke-a-Holics. You can tell love and passion are behind the food. Soulfood Sundays are on the 4 Sunday of each month. Support your local small family business and get some great food. I loved how much foot traffic they had and there are things I'm going back for and I'm going to step out the norm and try their Coca-cola cake! Want sum Get sum! Smoke-a-Holics they for sure know what they're doing read more

I ordered through Uber Eats, and my delivery arrived on time with everything packaged well. The presentation was very appealing. I ordered the two‑meat plate with beef hot links and sliced brisket, along with greens and macaroni and cheese. The macaroni and cheese was a 10/10--very good. The greens had great flavor and were well seasoned; however, they didn't seem fresh. The best way I can describe it is that they had a slightly stale taste, almost like freezer burn or an "old house" flavor. Unfortunately, I noticed a similar issue with the brisket. While it was also well seasoned, it had the same stale taste, which kept me from fully enjoying it. The beef hot link was good, and the barbecue sauce was enjoyable. Overall, I think this place has a lot of potential, and the food would be much better if all items were fresher. read more

From Chicago and this is the best rib tips in 4 years here I have found ( not burnt ends that Texas calls rib tips)

First time and it was perfect really. Prices are good for what you get, kool-Aid just right not too syrupy sweet, service on point, and I haven't planned to go try anything and it exceeded my expectations like this did. I'll definitely be back. I got that king beef and it was great. I told myself this will be the cheat meal for the week every week. read more

Here's the deal. I went to Smoke A Holics for lunch today and instantly realized I entered BBQ heaven. The inside is small but the service is efficient and the staff are very friendly. Once I had my three meat platter (ribs, brisket and turkey) and the smoked Mac and cheese and beans, it was a religious experience. Do yourself a favor and try Smoke A Holics soon! read more

Amazingly good BBQ! So we had their brisket (4/5), their spare ribs (6.5/5 best I've ever had!) jalapeño cheddar sausage (5/5!) their pork belly burnt ends (6/5 and I'll dream of these until I have them again they are that good!) and the wife had the brisket sausage elote corn (6/5!)which she said was out of this world. We also had their bbq beans which were excellent and they potato solid which was home made but middle of the road. Overall this was by far some of the best BBQ we have ever had in our life and you could tell the people who make this put in some love making it. Also I absolutely loved their sauce! Highly recommend!!! Thank you smokeaholics. read more

We stumbled upon this place looking for another BBQ spot. We ordered the Loaded Baked Potato (2), Banana Pudding, Baked Beans & a large KoolAid ($42 and some change, total). The baked potatoes were good but the BBQ sauce was kinda watery and too sweet for my liking but not a huge problem. The potatoes were a nice size and the brisket was STACKED. Baked beans were good. The banana pudding was SMACKIN!! Absolutely loved it. Koolaid was good as well. I think we'll be back to try other things. read more

Best dang BBQ I've had in Texas! Occasionally, I get a hankering for BBQ. Of course, I followed the "stars" to this spot. It's a little spot that reminded me of small country town pick up only places. This BBQ place may be small, but it is huge on flavor. I ended up getting 1/2lb brisket, 1/2lb burnt ends, a loaded tater, and loaded cornbread. It was all delicious and expertly seasoned! The meat was so tender you could eat with a spoon - no knife or sauce needed! Even my hubby, who considers himself a BBQ expert, was amazed by the food. This place deserves a spot in best BBQ places in Texas. The next time we host a BBQ dinner party, I am grabbing food from here. I did see a few bar stools near a table wall inside, but it really is too small to try to eat in there. No worries! Food this good deserves to be picked up, taken home, and enjoyed with family and friends, or at least with a streaming movie. The parking lot is good sized and there is a strip mall next door if their lot is full when you go. read more

This is what you need to know... When the pitmaster has his picture on the front door, his reputation is on the line! This guy delivers! When we showed up there was a line out the door, and when we left, there was a line out the door! This is a high quality locals joint, and the word is out! Especially when you make the Texas Monthly Top 50 (man, there's over 50 BBQ joints in FW alone, forget about all of Texas!) There's not much room to linger, and with lines like we saw, no one planned to stay. You come in, get what you need, and take it home or to the picnic! Parking is limited, but you won't be there long... and neither will anyone else! Don't worry about it! Just like the meat: slow down and take your time, and it'll work out. Let me start with this, now that we have gotten to the food: brisket nachos!! Get 'em! Forget about it! Heaping piles of brisket, killer queso, and ya get home and throw it together! The BEST! We also grabbed the rib plate, the smoked mac n cheese, collard greens, and pork belly burnt ends. Those ribs are fall off the bone delicious! Gotta say, he nailed it! The smoked mac n cheese is some of the very best I've ever had. Those pork belly burnt ends, they rival that fancy place up the street... easily! That said, the word is out on this place! You better get in here while you can... before they franchise, and you better believe it... if I were these guys, it would already be in the works! 5 STARS for Nailing it in FW read more

BEST BBQ IN FORT WORTH! Today was my first visit to Smoke-a-Holics and it won't be my last. They know exactly how to smoke some ribs and brisket. Their rub is incredibly flavorful and the ribs are that perfect almost fall off the bone but still with a little bit of tug. The brisket was moist and tender. And so happy I came when they have collard greens cause they're some of the best I ever had. They don't have seating so you have to order at the window with the super nice staff and then take with you. read more

Wow, first in line by a long mile! I arrived at 9:30am on a Saturday and was alone until about 30 minutes to opening. No one stood in line with me until about 15 minutes til. When they opened, there were maybe 10 people in line. No need to be stupid, like I was, just arrive when you want. I went with the two meat plate. The ribs and brisket. For sides I had the beans and potato salad. I tried to order a bunch of other sides and eventually stuck with what they had/made. The place was packed with employees and they were all hoping along. They were very well tuned in and appeared super motivated to get folks thru. The beef ribs were HOT. As in temperature, not spicy. In fact, the only spice seemed to be salt and pepper. Tasked fantastic. The brisket was the same way. Hot as in, right off the smoker. The beans were a sweet baked bean with a follow through of heat. Not too much, but just enough to tell you that this was kicked up. In fact, these were likely the best beans I've had at a BBQ spot. The potato salad was just straight forward. Not a lot of potato, but definitely a sour/sweet hit of relish and lots of eggs. read more

This truly should be 3.5 stars...Visited Smoked-A-Holics BBQ in Fort Worth on a Saturday. Doing The Texas Monthly "Top 50 BBQ" spots and this place made the list this time. First beware as the parking lot is small, lots of street parking. Second tip is that this place is to go place as there is NO dining inside and I saw NO tables outside. Third thing to know is the wait is long, like we waited 45-50 minutes to get our to go food after we ordered and paid. The thing is most of the customers get large to go orders so this slows things down. The brisket was good and moist but the ribs were nothing special, same with the sausage. We got no sides so I can not comment on them. This was our fourth stop on Saturday and it was a bit disappointing as we had to take the food back to the hotel and eat it there. I feel that there is really nothing special about this place. Brisket was good but that was it. read more

Disclaimer: For me the true rating is three and half stars. 3 is too little and four is too many. Decided to visit another Texas Monthly Top 50 spot out in Fort Worth this morning. Smoke-A-Holics. Got the there 10 min before they opened on Saturday 2/26/22 and was 5th in line. Was a bit disappointed I wasn't allowed order by the slice or piece. I had to order by the minimum weight which is a half pound; not a great way to be able to taste everything and not order the whole restaurant. I also had to eat in my car because they have no indoor dining Pork Belly Burnt Ends: 5/5 Rib Tips: 4/5 Smoky Mac n Cheese: 4/5 Collard Greens: 5/5 Brisket: 2/5 Smoked Salami: 3/5 Ribs: 2/5 Short of it is the things they do well, they do really well. And the things they don't do well, well they don't. Best Collards I ever had in my life. Pork Belly Burnt Ends were sweet, crispy, meaty, no gross pieces of fat. Amazing. Rib Tips were a real surprise. Imagine having perfect bite sized spare rib! So so good! Smoky Mac n Cheese was perfection. Brisket was pot roast. No smoke flavor at all. Smoked Salami was good but I had to order half a pound minimum, was way too much. Ribs were dry and not memorable. I'll def be back for the Rib Tips, Pork Belly Burnt Ends, Mac n Cheese, but most importantly... those damn collards!!!! read more

Meh. Let's start with the customer service, the young lady was sweet and all the employees seemed to enjoy their jobs, so that's a plus. The place is small and they don't allow dine in and no more than 10 people in at a time. I was seriously disappointed in the rib tips, they were tough and dry. How sway? I'm not going to dwell on it because a Wednesday might not be a great day to visit a bbq joint. The highlight of my visit was the bbq Mac! It was everything I expected it to be and more. The brisket was juicy and tender, the Mac was creamy and flavorful, and the sausage had a nice spice to it. This is something I would definitely recommend ordering from this spot! Will I return? Absolutely! I like to give everyone a fair shot unless it was just a horrible experience. I'll be back. read more

This one was found worthy of a home in the 2021 edition of Texas Monthly Magazine's The 50 Best BBQ Joints. It's easy to see why. $27.07 bought a 3 meat (brisket, turkey, pork belly burnt ends), 2 side (collard greens, smoked mac 'n cheese) plate with a bottled soft drink. So, the price point was reasonable. The brisket was smoked perfectly, with nice bark, buttery fat, and a respectable pink ring. The understated rub allowed the meat's flavor to shine. The turkey is solid, but here the real star of the show is the pork belly burnt ends. This is truly what BBQ aficionados call meat candy! Both sides were solid, the greens not drowning in vinegar, the mac 'n cheese creamy and full of flavor. So, highly recommended, but go early because parking is limited. read more

Little place in a run down neighborhood on the southside. I was looking around, taking pictures, and the guy let me come in and do the two giant smokers, which are named Loki and Thor. He said they use a combination of pecan and oak wood. Me and 11 others in line when they opened on a Saturday. Take away only. Took mine to nearby Hillside Park to a covered picnic table with a nice hilltop breeze, and a great overlook of downtown Fort Worth. Brisket was good but not great by Texas standards. Decent flavor on the bark but the lean was a tad dry. sausage 8 was excellent. Really nice flavors and a decent snap not spicy. The rib tips, 5 which were basically cross-section cuts of ribs, including the bone, we're just too tough to eat although you could tell the rub on the outside of the rib had a good flavor with a touch of sweetness. When you're first in line on Saturday morning, you expect the freshest meat they ever deliver. These ribs felt like they might not have even been cooked today. Collard greens 7.2 were very nice with just a little bit of kick in them, and the creamy mustard style potato salad 6.4 was a calm accompaniment to the meal, if maybe a tad sweet. I had my own drinks in the car, so I did not purchase the bottled drinks, which were the only thing available. If I lived around here, I would definitely return nothing else for my hillside sitting where I ate read more

Smoke A Holics is the real deal when it comes to BBQ in Fort Worth. This week I tried the Brisket Nachos and when I say PHENOMENAL, I mean it! Loaded to the top of the box, Smoke A Holics brisket lays on a bed of chips & queso w/ jalapeños on the side to kick up the heat. Smoke A Holics brisket is on point, seasoned well, smoke infused and even in the chopped style you still can see hints of the smoke ring. Ordered online to avoid the wait, restaurant can be crowded at times, however with good BBQ that's expected. Great establishment and black owned! read more

We dropped into Smoke-A-Holics for some barbecue to go in our way home. We enjoyed the smoked mac and cheese and collard greens for sides and the brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage, and burnt ends. The brisket was very good, we asked for a mix of lean and fat. The jalapeño sausage was a bit spicier than I had anticipated, but still good. The only item I didn't enjoy as much was the burnt ends, they were just a bit too chewy for my liking. All in all, this is a great option if you're looking for quick, solid barbecue. read more
