The Texas barbecue hunt will take you anywhere. A food truck park in Fate, Texas was my next stop…read moreto try Smoak Town. I had a chance last October while I was in Rockwall for a wedding to try it, but because the wedding was a top priority (whatever!!!), it didn't happen. Yesterday was my chance. Inside this food park was a vast sea of options, but my eyes were set on the back left where Smoak Town laid. They have a huge tent with plenty of tables to sit at under the shade and the space is wrapped in their wood, giving the joint an oak log fence around the food truck. By the time I got there a little past 1:30, they were out of sausage and mac and cheese. Sad! Other than that, my order was simple: brisket, pork ribs, pork belly burnt ends, and a side of their brew brisket beans. The brisket was a thick slice that was moist and flavorful. I love those chunky slabs of brisket. There is just something about a thicker cut that knocks skinnier cuts out of the park. The pork ribs were juicy and tender. I rarely get pork belly burnt ends over a sausage, but they are always a treat like they were here. Just a little taste of heaven. The beans were savory, hearty, and well seasoned. I was pretty impressed by them as well. The team working was super conversational and friendly. The guy in front of me was having his first taste of Texas barbecue, and they were being super helpful making sure he got a true, flavorful experience. This spot feels hidden but is worth the trip. There were quite a few people hanging around enjoying the excellent barbecue. Worth the pit stop and worth the drive if you live anywhere in the DFW metro. It was simply fate (GET IT???) to try Smoak Town. RIYL: The quieter barbecue spots that pack the same punch

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.

This is my go-to grocery store. The produce is always fresh, and the store is clean and easy to…read morenavigate between aisles. They usually have enough cashiers staffed, so you don't have to rely on self-checkout when you have a full cart, which is a huge plus for me. I also appreciate that they have baggers during busy times, which makes the checkout process much smoother and faster. Their wine and beer selection is one of my favorites, and the meat quality is good as well. Prices on meat have started to get a bit high, but that seems to be the case at most grocery stores lately, so I wouldn't take points away from them for that.

I am writing to express my disappointment with the customer service experience my girlfriend and I…read morehad at Fresh by Brookshire's on the evening of [insert date], around 7:40 PM. Earlier that same day, I was informed by a staff member that the pizza department closed at 8:00 PM. Based on that information, we arrived at approximately 7:40 PM to order a pizza. When we approached the counter, the young lady working there told us they were closed. There was no greeting or explanation offered initially. I explained that I had been told the department closed at 8:00 PM. She responded that they closed at 7:45 PM. Since it was still before that time, I asked to speak with the manager. The night manager, Graham, came over. Unfortunately, his demeanor was unwelcoming and dismissive. He stated that they stop taking orders at 7:45 PM. By the time he spoke with us, it may have been around 7:42 PM, but we were already at the counter before that time. No attempt was made to accommodate us or to clarify the discrepancy in closing times. Instead, the interaction felt rushed and unfriendly. My frustration is not just about the pizza, but about: * Inconsistent information given to customers * Poor communication * Lack of basic customer service and courtesy from management If the pizza department stops taking orders earlier than the posted or communicated closing time, that should be clearly stated and consistently enforced. More importantly, customers should be treated with respect and professionalism. I plan to follow up directly with the store manager, as I believe this experience does not reflect the level of service Fresh by Brookshire's should stand for.

The breakfast menu has lots of tasty options--standard cafe fare, with some Mexican breakfast options typical for the area. The service was great! This place is super efficient! They pump out a large quantity of fresh and tasty food impressively fast. Everything we had was hot, well prepared, and delicious! Pancakes are fluffy, the ham was huge, and the eggs on the chorizo skillet were done perfectly! Portions are large and the prices are terrific! If you are in the area, this place will not disappoint!

We decided to check out this cute restaurant last night (after sitting at another restaurant across…read morethe street for almost 30 minutes without being spoken to or acknowledged). I'm absolutely terrible with names but we had the sweetest waitress, she greeted us with a big smile and took our drink order. Then she promptly took our food order after giving us several recommendations since we'd never been here before. My husband, son, and I all got different cheese burgers. I got the Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger and it was delicious! It comes on Texas Toast, two patties, cheese, and lots of delicious bacon. My son got the kids burger and added bacon to it, listen this 6 year old can be an extremely picky eater, he ate the entire burger and kept saying how good it was. (He's still talking about it today.) My husband ordered a side salad and it came with their homemade ranch (yum!). He also ordered the Fire Burger with no avocado. It was giant and juicy! He said the chipotle mayo was amazing! Everything was so good - the food, the waitress, the cooks, the atmosphere - we will absolutely be back soon!

We sat down at our table at Red Dirt Social to visit for 10 minutes - and the manager (or owner maybe?) commented how his space was built just for this reason - to relax and enjoy time. We never felt rushed, or felt like they wanted our table. That was refreshing! The space is lovely - truly! It was bright, open, minimal decor and it all worked beautifully together. Someone out real thought into decorating this space for people to gather and relax, and it showed. I ordered the pats (oatmeal) with fresh fruit and it was perfect! All the fruit blended well together for my oatmeal. I enjoyed every bite. I cannot wait to bring my husband back to see how much Fate has grown and to eat here once more. It's worth it!

Its an order at counter places, which isn't always my favorite. You lose some personal connection but we were greeted when we got here, when we ordered it felt so friendly... they honesty made up for it. We ordered a bucket (cupcake brand) of mimosas. Chicken and waffles sliders. Breakfast panini and i wanted something sweet and we ordered the donut hole casserole. Honestly I cant find the words right now... but absolutely delish!! Only thing we would not order the donut casserole not because its not fantastic it is. But the waffle fries had some kind of sweetness in the batter so it satisfied my sweet tooth. The chicken was so well cooked! We ultimately turned it into knife and fork because it fell apart but who cares. The panini ... eggs so soft and moist. The sausage is links which normally I dont prefer vs a patty but so juicy. Honestly the combo of them was perfect. We were both so happy. Please go. Go now.
