This place is underrated. Food is good so is the service, prices are reasonable, my wife and i are regular customers here, i love that location. I like the hospitality and the atmosphere there too! read more

Smokey Mo's is not a place you will wait in line for two hours in lawn chairs for. On the other hand, it also doesn't have the prices of Interstellar or Mueller's. This is the original location, out of now 19, in a sliver-wide store near an HEB. The "heritage" of the place is reflected in its somewhat funky interior, and you have to walk all the way back along a narrow aisle to near the storeroom to start your order. But the regulars all know that. It is a comfortably decent, middle-of-the-road Texas BBQ joint that is very consistent in quality, our go-to place. I wish their sides and desserts were a little more stand-out, like Cooper's or Poke Jo's or Terry Black's. The only thing that's better than average is their creamed corn. Recently, they changed their buttered potatoes to add bacon and cheese, which helps a little. On the BBQ side, they've added pork belly burnt ends, which are among my favorite. The service is friendly, and they keep the orders moving. They do a lot of take-out business, given that there are only about six tables inside. Their sauce is what we now think of as the standard, not as peppery as, say, Rudy's and not as sweet as the Salt Lick. We have a bottle at home. read more

After a hard evening weights' training, I chose Smokey Mo's BBQ on Monday because I was too tired to cook. Fortunately, Smokey Mo's is across the street from Gold's gym. I just needed meat as I had already prepared potatoes and green beans at home in advance. The meat de jour was turkey and chicken. I remembered that Smokey Mo's turkey was super moist and flavorful. It did not disappoint. Zackary prepared my order pretty quickly and offered BBQ sauce, white bread, pickles, onions and plastic utensils. I said yes to all of these items. He also gave me a cup for water to drink since it was 100 degrees today...in the shade. This kind gesture was welcomed and appreciated. Zackary was Texas friendly and exuded that charming Southern hospitality. There were not very many people seated inside the restaurant. No outside seating is available at Smokey Mo's. There was a fairly steady stream of folks coming in to pick up "to-go" orders. It is important to note that Smokey Mo's has some gluten-free options. My family enjoyed the BBQ chicken and turkey. Smokey Mo's delivered a great BBQ experience! read more

We have ordered several times and it is our Go-To BBQ place!! But VERY DISAPPOINTED tonight, not only was our delivery timed moved almost an hour later after ordering but once arrived we found the pork very dry and the turkey had a coloring and white film that was questionable, we both ate very little. Later in the evening we got our deserts with my husband having pecan pie and he is a huge pie lover and it was so bad he spit it out, i was shocked!!! Then i take a bite of my chocolate cake thinking i was for sure safe and it was soooo dry it was not edible. I looked at the sticker on the bottom of my box and it says packaged 11/10!!! Today is 11/20, ten days ago! We dont even keep baked good that long in our own home. I would greatly appreciate a call from the manager as this was all very wrong. read more

BEWARE! If you choose anything but chicken, turkey and sausage you will be charged $5 per unit of meat. I bought a small family pack $67.99. I chose brisket for my 1lb of meat and they charged me $15 extra because I chose brisket only. They said you are allowed to get 2-3 meats options. And because I chose brisket they charged me 3 units or (.67lbs) x 3. This is how it was explained to me. My final bill was $89 and change.... The meat was dry (we asked for moist) and had no flavor, and the sides were mediocre. I get better value at Franklins (downtown Austin) and they have a Michelin star. We will not be back. read more

This place seems to get hit or miss reviews. I've personally never had any issues and I've been here several times. The service is usually great and good has tasted delicious. I've gone close to closing before and still had a great experience. Today we were served by Derrik. He was great! He was so kind to my dad who was visiting and wanted BBQ. He totally made our evening. Super friendly and helpful. We will continue to be patrons as the BBQ is pretty good and we've never had bad service. read more

Ordered fatty brisket at Cypress Creek location. Watched the meat being sliced. Sliced from one slab then changed to a different slab. Some of the brisket was juicy and tender and some was a little tough. Makes me think some of it was yesterdays meat. This was at 11;45 so I guess they were trying to get rid of yesterdays. Have to go somewhere else. read more

I tried this place for the very first time and I must say I'll definitely visit again. Sean was very helpful. I tried their moist brisket and jalapeños sausage with side of potatoes salad and cheese corn. And every single item was made with perfection. read more

Overall the bbq is good as are the sides. Breakfast tacos are hit and miss. The biggest issue is the cost. BBQ is expensive. Portions need to be bigger. read more

We stopped by on Saturday afternoon. I'm guessing they were understaffed as the food was a little slow coming out. The Cole slaw was excellent as usual, but my brisket was a little dried out. The restaurant was not particularly busy, yet they ran out of unsweet tea and we had wait while they made more. Really disappointed as we have been to other Smokey MO's that were much better. read more

I enjoy getting their stuffed baked potatoes here as well as their breakfast tacos. If you ask, they will sub their buttery potatoes for the bake potato, but it is really rich. I don't typically get their other meats unless I've had it at a catered meal. I prefer the turkey over the other meat options. The sausage is my least favorite. read more

Went in to get a pound of SLICED BRISKET came home unwrapped it and found the fattiest, mostly all shredded brisket slices I've ever seen. If I'm paying extra for sliced brisket I want nice slices of brisket. Next time I'll just go to Stiles Switch. read more

I drove into Smokey Mo's a few weeks after I moved into town just to grab a quick BBQ sandwich. Honestly, my expectations were pretty low. I mean, how good could it be when it's basically a chain restaurant? Well, it's surprisingly good. Their brisket, sausage and sauce are all really good. I didn't care much for the turkey, but the ribs were good. I've enjoyed all of the sides I've ordered, too. Honestly - get some pickles, onions and jalapenos with a brisket sandwich, and you've got a really good Texas meal. read more

Good food good service for being one person behind the counter, but the problem is that they didn't have no sweet tea or regular tea and I asked him to brew it some sweet tea and it just took a long time for my to go order. Was I supposed to wait 30 to 45 minutes until they brewed his tea and put sugar in it That's kind of unacceptable at the 2 o'clock 2:30 PM timeslot read more

What could be better than breakfast tacos on New Year's Day? How about SALlT TACOS?! A weeks worth of salt in one breakfast taco?! I won't be back. There is no reason for dumping volumes of salt on food like they did. Learn how to prepare food or get out of the business. read more

I stopped with my daughter for a quick lunch. The service was great and they were so nice in answering my questions with it being my first visit. The restaurant was extremely clean and organized. It wasn't a long wait time either. By the time we grabbed our self serve drinks our order was on the corner. I ordered a lunch plate special with brisket and chips as a side and my daughter had a Lil MO's with Sausage and chips. The meat was so tender and juicy we will definitely return soon. read more

I ordered the deluxe family pack online and the checkout experience was really easy. The food was delish as always, service was fast and friendly. Even though today was a pick-up order I love to dine-in at this spot too. I trust them with my college football game day experience and would recommend them to anyone looking for a bbq spot. read more

Wow- this was the first time I tried their BBQ. It was so good! Everyone there was super nice and super friendly. Thank you. I have found my new favorite BBQ joint! read more

Placed a rather large pickup order at this location for a work event-thanksgiving potluck. Ordered roughly 15 lbs of Turkey and about 12lbs of pork loin-couldn't find ham anywhere! They needed extra notice to be able to accommodate the amount of pork loin we requested, so we were given brisket instead-all good! Staff and specifically the manager was super friendly and accommodating, and made sure we had absolutely everything we needed. Turkey was great-wonderful smoky flavor, and we got a combo of moist and lean brisket-also very delicious. Really appreciated the help getting everything together! Will definitely use this location again when we have another large event. read more

Good old fashion chopped brisket baked potato and coleslaw and that did not disappoint! Great service too from the 4 young men working! They were all friendly, helpful and very respectful! Up next, smoked turkey! read more

I don't know what has happened but Smokey Mo's in Cedar Park has gone down hill in a short amount of time. Order a 2 meat plate and asked for extra sauce; didn't receive any sauce at all. This has happened the last 2x I have ordered. The response from manager was he doesn't know what happened because every order gets sauce even if they don't want it. Just now I ordered banana pudding for my kids and I only received 1 and I can't even call to complain because no one is answering the phone. I do not recommend this establishment for delivery order! They just lost my business. read more

The lowest guy on the BBQ pole, the humble chopped beef sandwich. Certainly not meant to serve as a true measure of a great barbecue establishment, but also something that even the most meager of places (e.g. Bill Miller) should not be able to mess up so badly. The meat was just a tad on the dry side, despite the tiny chunks of unrendered fat that were speckled about, but the SALT...OMG the SALT. I couldn't eat it. It was so sodium packed that it gave my tongue that sort of feeling as if it were almost burning. Ouch and yuck! Contrarily, the green beans tasted as if they poured them straight out of a can and added some chopped onion. SO BLAND - and, yes I actually took a bite of beans before the beef totally destroyed my palette. Lol! Seriously, this place is actually laughable. How do they stay open? I'm not comparing them to the "big boys" (e.g., Black's), but even Rudy's and Dickey's kick the crap out of this joint. To add insult to injury, 2 sandies and a shared side cost just under 20 bucks. Pft. If the chopped was so horrible, I wouldn't even dare to waste money on sampling some brisket. For those perhaps not so familiar, this is NOT Texas Q. Not even close. Tip: If you want a solid, big chopped beef make your way up to Four Points and visit Smokey J's (no worries - they're not "related" - ha!)...for only 5 bucks it's a fast and cheap BBQ fix. Smokey Mo's is a chain, so maybe quality and flavors vary by location; however, for this gal...no Mo, no Mo, no Mo, no Mo! :/ 03.30.2017: @Smokey Mo's management. I really appreciate the time taken to comment on my review. I personally feel statements such as yours are a true sign of good customer service. I wish you and your business the best of success moving forwards. Regards, Dawn H read more

BF was in total shock when I suggested BBQ for Lunch. He knows I'm not a big fan so he said YES! before I changed my mind. Mo's wasn't crowd so we were 2nd in line. I ordered the Babyback rib plate with Potato salad and slaw. BF had the brisket with green beans and Potato salad. We also had two large drinks so our bill was $22. I try the pot salad and slaw first. The potator salad was okay nothing special. I enjoyed the slaw - moist, tangy, nicely chopped. BF's green beans were meh. The ribs, Mmmmmm. Tender, meaty, not bad without sauce, much better with sauce. It came with seven ribs. The brisket was dry. BF thinks it was because they slice it very thin. He wasn't thrilled with it even with the sauce. The regular BBQ sauce was alright. Not my favorite sauce. It did have a slight kick to it. BF has decided to take my advice next time and get the ribs. read more

Unfortunately, this review is not positive. Our lunch turned into a marathon, waiting 20 minutes for a salad. and the lack of concern or explanation from the staff just added to the bad experience. The salad appeared as though it was bought in a store and not made fresh. with a tiny container of chopped brisket in a separate container. Three trips back to the counter asking about the order only bought the same response each time..."it will be about 5 more minutes". Smokey you definitely lost a local customer. read more

I have been coming here infrequently for the last ten years and always enjoyed whatever I ordered. I was confident that this time, placing a large order, they would handle it well. Sure enough, I had place an order on Saturday for a pick up on Sunday at 2:PM. they finished the order at exactly 1:59 which meant that my food wasn't sitting there for any time at all. Our family pack for eight with an extra pound of meat was very satisfying. I had ordered brisket and ribs for the meat and they were delicious. Our sides of mac n cheese, pinto beans and coleslaw were also very satisfying. Here's the impressive thing; getting good food either for dine in or take out doesn't happen by accident. People are the determining factor. I must say that every person that I interacted with at this Smokey Mo's, whether on the phone or in person, made me convinced that they all actually wanted my business. Good job people ! read more

Worst Smokey mos in cedar park. Go to cypress creek. This location has management issues, and the food is not cooked the same. Brisket looks like it was frozen and thawed out both times I went. Mo should do some quality control on this one because his other locations I've been to (cypress,N183,) have way better customer service and way better food. read more

I came in to order green beans and a baked potato because that has been my craving since I became pregnant, green beans were good when I got home I tried them but when I went in the bag to get the baked potato which I ordered with everything but bacon- it was burnt and had crispy potato skin and only cheese and a drop of sour cream... so I went back for a replacement and everything looked good until I went to eat it... still burnt- still crispy skin. Will not be coming back. Waste of my time & money. read more

Found Smokey Mo's as a convenient stop as I was visiting and happens at the HEB. I walked in and was immediately greeted, went over to the front to see the clear and well written menu. Was told they were out of potatoes which was fine. Opted for the 2 meat plate. The cashier was extremely helpful with recommendations. But I opted for the jalapeno sausage ( definitely recommend) and the pork ribs. They were very well barbecued with lots of flavor and still juicy. The macaroni and cheese was classic and the beans were sweet and full of flavor ( I only wish I had gotten another serving.) The sauces on the tables are distinct with the spicy not being crazy hot but enough to distinguish it from the classic style. Over all it was a nice surprise when all I wanted was something to fill me up. I would like to go back and try some other meats. I heard good things about the brisket and the half chicken. Yum. read more

Okay we got it for dinner last night and it was so good! I got the pork ribs and turkey, and the turkey wasn't dry at all. The sauce is awesome. Definitely a go to. read more

I always feel welcome that's the best part. I love their breakfast tacos and biscuits and gravy.

Got the sandwich lunch special today. I had Chop beef sandwich and my side was the potato salad. The potato salad was great but the chop beef sandwich was the worst! The bun was hard and the chop beef was so dry and over cooked, it was bad! It should of been throw out not sever to a customer. I'm pretty much done with Smokey Mo's. I went to the cedar park location off of cypress creek rd. read more

Smokey Mo's is not a good representation of amazing Texas bbq. I came here because my usual place has new hours and wasn't open.I asked for moist brisket and what I got was dry.
