Food is so very good and hopefully convenient not only for passers by on 287 but anyone in Midlothian! PS -- they are closed on Sundays but they deserve it!

A little sparse on the volume of meat on the bone compared with similar cut ribs from other bbq joints. Would not order again. Hot links - Not spicy like hot links should be. Very mild with the slightest hint of hot spices. Would not order again Lockhart sausage - if this refers to the Kreuz Original by Lockhart Smokehouse, they were out of stock. Very disappointing. Turkey - was really good and tasty. Would order again. Bologna - I rarely order bologna, but this was pretty good. Would order again. Fried okra - a bit on the heavier side on the batter. I prefer a light batter like HEB. Personal preference. Tasted fine. Side portions were a bit too small for the price paid compared with other bbq places.

Everything was great. The homemade BBQ sauce is sweet and tangy. The fries were perfect, crispy and hot. The sausage was a standard sausage on a stick. Had good flavor, and a good bite to it. The catfish was a pleasant surprise. It was seasoned very well, a nice Cajun bite but not spicy. It was flaky and moist, not dry at all. And crispy on the outside. Overall everything tasted great and the cook/owner was kind and personable. Will return here!

After seeing one come out of the kitchen, I quickly realized it was massive and way more food than I wanted, so I switched to the one-meat, two-side plate with brisket, greens, and potato salad. The first thing that stood out was the customer service. The young lady at the register was absolutely wonderful--friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely professional. She made ordering easy and set a great tone for the entire visit. Top-tier customer service is becoming rare, and she definitely deserves recognition. As for the food, the brisket was good, and overall the meal was enjoyable. For my personal taste, everything was a bit over-seasoned, especially the greens, which had a strong liquid smoke flavor. That said, I should also mention that I haven't eaten heavily seasoned Southern-style food in quite a while, so my palate is much more sensitive than it used to be. Someone who loves bold, smoky flavors may enjoy it much more than I did. One thing I absolutely loved was discovering that this is actually two businesses sharing one space with Soul Pizza Kitchen. I think that's a beautiful example of collaboration, community, and entrepreneurship. The pizza menu looked incredibly creative, and I'll definitely come back to try one of those soul-inspired pizzas. I always enjoy supporting Black-owned businesses, and it's even more inspiring to see two businesses thriving together under one roof. Wishing both continued success and prosperity.

I was in Dallas for about 48 hours and knew I had to try some barbecue while running errands. I…read morecame across this spot in a shopping center right near where I needed to be, checked the reviews, and decided to give it a shot and I'm so glad I did. As soon as I walked in, who I believe was the owner greeted me and was one of the kindest, most welcoming people I've met. He took the time to walk me through the menu and answer my questions, which I really appreciated. I ended up ordering one of their loaded potatoes with pulled pork and beef, and it was incredible (you get a good amount of meat) honestly this potato was big enough for two people to share. I also tried the mac and cheese and green beans soooo good! I didn't finish most of it, but only because I had to get back to work I knew if I ate the whole thing, I wouldn't get anything done after! That's how filling it was. The atmosphere was great too. Plenty of seating, multiple TVs playing NCAA games very welcoming vibe. There was a steady flow of takeout orders I can imagine this place gets pretty busy on weekends. As someone from Los Angeles, it was really refreshing to experience such genuine hospitality. You don't always get that level of care and patience when ordering back home. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Dallas so I can come back and try more of the menu.

Although it's a food truck, there is outdoor seating available if you want to enjoy your meal there. One quick note: cash is preferred, but cards are accepted. The Bacon Jalapeno Ranch Chicken Salad immediately caught my eye, so of course I had to try it. I also ordered the beef burger. The Burger: This was the star of the show for me! It was a great size, so I ended up splitting it, and it was cooked perfectly. The flavor was good and this is definitely something I would order again. The Chicken Salad on the other hand was a little different than expected. It was very over loaded with onions, celery, and other veggies so I didn't taste bacon, ranch or Jalapeno. It wasn't bad but I didn't taste the flavors that persuaded me to get it which made it hard for me to be excited about it. Would I order the chicken salad again? Probably not. But that burger? YELP ! If you're ever in the DeSoto/Red Oak area and looking for a good food truck option, SmokBae BBQ is worth checking out. Support local food trucks

It is a small operation putting out a high quality product in a small town environment. Everyone that works there is so nice and personable. So we found the place with Yelp and I am a sucker for small bbq places. We walked in and were greeted as we entered the door by two very nice women. They gave us instructions on how the ordering works and told us the Thursday special. Loaded backed potato. We chose the fillings and the meat. It was the tater, dessert and drink for $15. We had seen the size of the potato already and chose to split it, had it made with fatty brisket, and of course a 1/4 lb of sausage. We took our order up to the window and met the namesake of the restaurant, but by we did not know it then. The options in that simple dish was great. Again, fatty brisket, we did sliced on the side, we actually got both jalepeno and cheese, as well as regular smoked sausage. The sweet tea was great, not too sweet, perfect for my tastes. They insisted on carrying the tray out for us. Epic- the brisket was tender, juicy and perfectly smoked. The bark was great, had a touch of spice on the back end. The sausage was perfect. Honestly, I never asked for Bbq sauce, never needed it. The owner came out later, struck up a conversation. Let us know future menu items of which I am looking forward to. The banana pudding was sweet, but good. They are moving in a few days, but just around the corner. I look forward to stopping in again at their new location and new menu items. Just throwing this out as a recommendation for a future option: To go with the real potato fries that you are adding, consider adding fatty brisket on top, cover in shredded cheddar with a little pico and sour cream as well as jalapeños. Just a thought. Good luck!!!
