Overall the food was decent, albeit a little underwhelming. While the meal was sufficient enough to satisfy my hunger, it did not leave me wanting to return any time soon. The brisket was not as tender as I expected, particularly from a restaurant that highlights brisket as a specialty. The pork ribs were even less tender, the meat was difficult to pull off the bone. The mac & cheese was ok, but the flavor was not good enough to compensate for it being lukewarm. Moreover, everything was a bit too dry for my taste. It wasn't bad, it just didn't quite hit the level of expectation I had for a BBQ restaurant in this price point. I'd rather pay a little more and receive a much higher quality product. read more

First time here so we figured we give it a try. Just looking for a newer BBQ place to eat at in Texas. i had the moist Brisket sandwich with Mac and Cheese, mac and cheese was luke warm not hot like aI expected, Meat was a little fatty to eat through but again first time so will try something else next time we are there. My wife had the Pork Loin sandwich and there was plenty off meat for the sandwich so we took some home for our Fur Baby. She had the Potatoes with Cheese and scallions. Potatoes were also like warm and the cheese did not even melt on the potatoes, The potatoes were done but could have been warmer in order to melt the cheese. Serive was goof and it di not take long for the meal to be ready for us to pick up. Good surroundings and atmosphere was quiet for the time we were in the restaurant. Just wish those items were warmer with our meals. Thank you read more

We have eaten there several times and enjoyed the friendly, quick service each time. The breakfast tacos with brisket are excellent. The brisket with eggs, cheese and potatoes is savory and has a perfect touch of smoke. The brisket is solid, and the pork fits quite nicely. This is not a Millers or Franklins Brisket but it is tasty and equivalent to Rudy's BBQ at a really reasonable price. The place is clean and comfortable. read more

Visited on a Wednesday for lunch and ordered the lunch special Brisket and the cheese potatoes along with a drink Priced right and service was efficient and kind. Brisket was tough so half of the portions found its way into the garbage bin and the bbq sauce didn't help at all. So, not such a great first impression from the food perspective. Maybe the chopped brisket is better? Perhaps? I'd go again only if that was the meeting place that friends would choose but not likely would I seek out Mo's for my bbq fix. read more

We went to Smokey Mo's after a long day at work and it just hit the spot when you're craving bbq meats but don't want to drive too far. Ordering was a breeze, meats were moist, and there's a clean and open outdoor space you can enjoy your meal. The only downside was that they had run out of some of the sides we wanted, but we did arrive about an hour before closing. I enjoyed the mac and cheese and bacon cheddar potatoes a lot, and it would be nice if the green beans were not canned read more

Smokey Mo's BBQ - Bacon Cheddar Potatoes (worth the try!) and Mac & Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Temple, Texas

I tried to go pick it up but, "My mind's telling me no - But my body, my body's telling me yes" (the controversial and disgusting R Kelly). Totally opposite. My mind said, "yo, we can do this!" My body said, "stupid, just get delivery and pay the $5.99 delivery charge." This place is always on point. I just recently gave a whole bag of plastic "Smokey Mo's"cutlery to my folks to use during their RV travels from here. (I will say that once I received a tiny malnourished potato reminiscent of a potato from the Cold War. I took the survey and immediately received a tater on them. There are also some general frustrating aspects of the app. There was a huge delay in notification that the order was accepted. That gave my mind the idea that I could totally go in and pick up the tater. #patienceisavirtue) I literally crave this baked potato and they hooked it up. Thank you. This made my day! (My special request was, "Please get this right. Life is lifin. Thanks! :)" And the response picked me up; "I feel that girl! LOL. Hope it gets better!") Yap! It will! read more

3.5 Stars - Good BBQ, But Not the "Wow" I Was Expecting I recently visited my son in Texas for the first time since he moved there, and of course, I had to try some Texas barbecue. We decided to order takeout from Smokey Mo's BBQ. Based on the reputation of Texas BBQ, I was expecting something truly out of this world--but it was just good, not great. I ordered the ribs (the same ones you see in the picture), while my son got the chicken with macaroni and cheese, and his wife had the half chicken with greens. The food was tasty and well-prepared, but nothing really stood out as exceptional or memorable. Overall, it was a solid meal--good flavors, generous portions--but it didn't quite live up to the BBQ hype I had in mind. I'm still glad we tried it, and it's definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a convenient and decent BBQ spot. read more

I got a chopped beef sandwich and was pretty excited about it. I paid $13.99 for a sandwich drink and chips. The meat was so dry it tasted like beef jerky. It was burnt and my bread was so greasy that I had to take the bread off. I ended up throwing the whole entire thing in the trash. I wish I was able to post pictures so you can see exactly what I'm talking about. Absolutely disgusting and I won't be back. read more

Smokey Mo's BBQ - Burned and so dry - Barbeque Near Me - Temple, Texas

Haven't been inside the establishment but could only imagine the type of environment it is proposing. I ordered the 3 Meat Plate with double Mac and brisket and i must say i have had better. The first time trying this place i had some of the best brisket ive ever had from a restaurant but the last two occasions have been nothing more than mediocre... the jalepeno sausage was the best/ most consistent thing this place has . But a major issue was whoever was on the smoker on 10DEC24 or night of 9DEC needs to go back to the basics with "LOW AND SLOW" ALONGSIDE with whoever was on the Mac , that person needs just a tad bit of ALOT of salt pepper and other seasonings found at your local dolla general. All in all i know this place is capable of better because ive had it, but this experience was 3/5 read more

Great food! Will return. Craving that BBQ SANDWICH again! I can't wait to try the stuffed potato. Will go back this weekend read more

Excellent value for the money. This joint started out in the Austin area and has evolved into a chain restaurant. Very respectable quality all things considered. If Rudy's BBQ had a little brother, he would be Mo! Ordered a jumbo baker loaded with some very nicely smoked brisket. Finished it off with a slice of Pecan Pie. The pie didn't need the sugar glaze on top. And it was a little runnier consistency on the filling than I lilike, but to each their own. Texas BBQ is a very delicate and highly opinioned arena, but my taste buds were not disappointed. read more

Easily the worst brisket I've had in the last 5+ years. It was dry, no flavor and definitely not a moist cut. Potatoes were pretty good.

The young man that greeted us and took our order was very nice and personable. We both had the two meat plate, brisket and ribs with sides of potato salad and cream corn. The sides were very good cream corn especially was very tasty. The brisket and rib came out medium temperature. They both got cold awfully quick. We eat there 5/31on a warm day. They both tasted ok. Brisket was tender as was the rib. They seemed to both be seasoned with a great amount if pepper. I tried both the mild and the spicy bbq sauce they also we just ok. read more

first and last time eating here .....pricey fatty brisket and sausage was mediocre potatoe salad and beans were ok. read more

Just a heads up. The chopped sandwich is half brisket and half chopped leftovers from other meats....

We wanted to try the new BBQ place that set up shop where our fav pizza place used to be. $50 for two double meat plates. Most of my brisket was hard fat. Gross. Should have gone to Belton for BBQ today. read more

Beans and potato salad were good as well as the BBQ sauce but I was there for the meat. Brisket was very firm not really tuff but not Smokey or tender and really not fork cut able and most surprising it was cool. Who ever heard of cool BBQ? Will give it another try before returning to Austin for better brisket than anybody in Temple, guess I just got spoiled after 35 years. read more

First time at Smokey MO's. Hubby loves it and we've been waiting a while for this location to open. What a delicious experience. I'm a big chicken fan...but didn't touch the meat first because the Mac and Cheese was too damn good! Perfectly cooked chicken hit the spot. Brisket was delicious as well. Pork belly was a little dry according to the hubby. Clean restaurant, good music and very friendly staff. Got some sauce to go! We'll be back for sure. 10/10 read more

Chicken was amazing. Service was fast and whenever they get the drive through open it will be even better.

They cut 2 pounds of sausage in thin slice when I'd rather cut to my desire when I'm taking it to go. Not only that, but the food was cold. How do you sell cold food? read more
