Highly recommend! Great food, great atmosphere, great time. The owner LD personally came up to the table making everyone feel like a special guest. We will definitely be back! See you next time LD and staff

Absolutely amazing food with excellent service! We had the baked potatoes tonight with Brisket, and the portion size was huge! It could definitely feed 2 people. The peach cobbler and ice cream are complementary for dine-in and are so good!! Also the Apple dessert dish... 10/10! And the rolls... freshly baked, and they taste homemade. Everything was absolutely fantastic. Shout out to Christy who made our dinner out so special. We will definitely be a repeat customer from now on!

Went here while I am visiting family in Texas! I'm from California so I definitely had to try BBQ and this place didn't disappoint! First of all the ambience was great! Lots of space and super chill and relaxing! The service was incredible. The bartender was so funny and sweet! My friend mentioned one day she has to try catfish cause she never has and he was shocked and went to grab a free piece for her to try! So nice! We ate so good and I highly recommend the food

All the food is really good!

This is one of those places that you definitely have to visit and live the experience. They have cajun buffet Fridays and Saturdays and every single item was really good. Their specialty of course is BBQ, we only tried the ribs and the sausage, both were delicious. Service, atmosphere, and prices are really good. Did I mention that they also have full bar and live music? Do your self a favor a go visit them.

My first visit ever to smoke monkey was to try out their buy-one-get-one free chicken fried steak on a stormy Thursday evening. we were a little worried walking in as there was no one else around Including staff. We thought they were closed and we were just about to walk out when someone came up out of the back to take our order. Now usually this kind of condition spells disaster for a good meal but I'm glad we waited as the meal was Top Notch, my chicken fried steak was cooked perfectly and delicious, their dinner rolls are divine, to say the least and the best part is included with the chicken fried steak dinner comes unlimited sides. now a normal person would probably try two or three but just short of the salad bar I tried every side they had including, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, green beans, potato salad, Texas-style chili, corn, and coleslaw. they even had ice cream although I did not partake in this delectable dessert. Needless to say, I left more than full and was super pleased with everything that I ate. one more Awesome thing I would like to mention about smoke monkey is that they actually have daily specials, too often these days restaurants claim to have specials but are just a clever way of marketing their regular menu items. but not smoke monkey, in my opinion, their specials are specials and dang good ones too. If you've never been I recommend two things, one go hungry and two They're setup is a little different and if you've never been you're not going to know how everything works, for Example we weren't sure what was included with the unlimited sides So I recommend just asking at the front counter while you're ordering your meal To set your mind at ease *Poor *Decent *Good *Great *Best *JLFoodie Certified Food. Best Service. Great Cleanliness. Good Consistency. Great Variety. Great Value. Great

Rockwall?!? Where are you at? We have been walking past here for a couple months and finally…read moredecided to try. It's Friday night at 730 and there were 4 tables. I got nervous. 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.

Driving around Texas eating BBQ on the Texas Monthly Top 50 list so we made a trip to visit Smoak…read moreTown BBQ. Smoak Town BBQ was stop #2 on our Dallas trip. 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.

We had a great late lunch here on a Friday afternoon. Our server was super sweet and made great…read moresuggestions on beer and food options. 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.

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.
