    Loaded Cornbread, Baked Beans, Chopped Brisket, Shredded Cheese, Sour Cream, Green Onions, BBQ Sauce.
    Juana E.

    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

    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.

    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!

    Pork Chops, Meatloaf, Chicken, Ox-Tails and Brisket

    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

    Smothered Country-style ribs with candied yams and collard greens.

    My first visit here and went for Soul Food Sunday. The brisket was great, and smothered country style ribs were excellent. For sides we had cornbread dressing, collard greens, candied yams, and smoked mac and cheese. Will definitely be back!

    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.

The crunchy onions that retain structure was absolutely divine. I could eat this everyday. Brisket - we didn't get a fatty piece which I liked because it allowed me to not get full easily Sichuan Lamb Ribs - softest lamb I have ever had (that wasn't in a curry) and the rub on it was not only the perfect amount but a perfect blend Tandoori Turkey - this was really moist and not spicy, great choice for those who do not like red meat Seekh Kabob Sausage - the casing was well done and the flavor profile wasn't overpowering, sometimes desi spices can overtake the meat and that was not the case here (no pun intended) Kochumber salad - well seasoned and I am so glad it is on the menu because you need a fresh element to palate cleanse and cut through bbq fat They open at 11am and the line started forming 10:30am, it moves at a good pace. We were also instructed with what's on the menu and the parking situation which I thought was professional and well organized. We found some seating in the area next to the truck.

    "Sabar BBQ: Where the lamb ribs made me want to high five a stranger."…read more TL;DR: Get there early, order the Sichuan Lamb Ribs, let Zain carve you a plate of happiness, and prepare to have your taste buds do a Texas two-step with Pakistani spices. Worth every minute of the wait. This one's climbing my top 50 list faster than a brisket disappears at a family reunion. After one failed mission to Sabar BBQ, where I showed up too late and found an empty pit (and an emptier stomach), I came back like a man on a barbecue pilgrimage. The sun was blazing, the line was growing, and I wasn't about to be left holding nothing but a napkin this time. Pitmaster Zain Shafi runs this blue trailer like a flavor command center. The smell hit me halfway through the line and had me grinning like a kid at the state fair. I made my move when it was my turn, and if you know me, you know lamb is my kryptonite. I ordered the Sichuan Lamb Ribs, then couldn't stop myself from adding brisket and Tandoori Turkey. The sides? Kachumber Salad and Daal Chawaal, because even Uncle Sean needs balance in life. Zain loaded everything up, tossed it all on top of some naan for good measure, and sent me to my table like a champion headed to the winner's circle. The first bite of lamb ribs nearly had me proposing to the pit. Spicy, tender, smoky perfection with a bark that made my heart sing. The brisket was rich and juicy, the turkey came with that tandoori kick that slapped me awake in the best way possible. The sauces just tied the whole thing together like a big barbecue hug. The yogurt mint cilantro sauce was made to cool and lift the brisket and turkey to a whole new level. The red sauce packed a punch and paired with the lamb like it was born for the job. I boxed up some leftovers for my wife, the Side Dish Queen herself, because a man who doesn't bring home naan from Sabar BBQ is a man sleeping on the couch. She confirmed what I already knew: this was next-level barbecue, the kind that earns legends and long lines. Sabar BBQ is only open on weekends, and only fools show up late. I won't make that mistake again. This was stop number 15 on my Texas Monthly Top 50 journey, leaving me with 35 more glorious BBQ pilgrimages ahead before the passport is full and my belt officially waves the white flag. If loving these lamb ribs is wrong, I don't wanna be rib-right.

    First time trying Brown's BBQ, and guess I came away thinking super nice folks (thinking at least…read moresome in establishment were family), good (could be great) sides, and still on the learning curve on the brisket. With a bit more seasoning and flavor, the sides could be the hit of the location, and this I think will come with time and practice. Tried the greens (little bland, but wonderful texture), Mac and Cheese (actually seasoning was spot on), and beans (with meat...meh). The greens and MC were the hits for sure. Brisket was on the dry side, maybe overcooked, and could have used some better trimming before cooking I think. Did not try sausages or chicken, but both looked appetizing. They are still dialing in their pits is my guess, and expect cook quality to improve with a time. Quality of meat may also be worth considering. Overal, Brown's is definitely worth a visit, and as they find their groove they could be a contender. Right now would put them at a fair 3.5 stars, but the energy, great attitude (smiles means repeat business), and great beginnings is worthy of 4 stars even now, and a welcome addition to the neighborhood!

The salsa verde could've been a little spicier but still delicious. The green spaghetti was not hot but it was interesting and I'd get again but add some salt. The young lady working at the counter was sweet and helped me make my decisions. The food came out quickly, too.
