    Stopped for lunch on a whim, glad we did! Food was delicious and everything was made to order. Their sodas are house made/organic and was good! Dessert is a must, banana pudding was great just missing the whipped cream!

    Excellent BBQ!!!! And SUPERIOR service!!!! Coming from California, Texas BBQ was a must. I'm so glad my aunt lives nearby. Brisket was our favorite meat. The chicken was really good. The jalapeño cheese sausage was my second favorite. Sides are yummy. The green beans are flavored really well and mac and cheese was great. BBQ comes with a lot of expectations, and Community BBQ exceeded mine to the fullest. Carrie and RJ were hospitable hosts/servers. Thank you so much. God bless Texas.

    Went for our anniversary tonight and had the most delicious steaks! Owner Andy came out and chatted with us about the science of cooking the perfect steak. So much fun and delicious! I definitely recommend for a yummy black angus or even better Akaushi steak even though they have delicious bbq.

    Going into this review with the heads up that they just open this location about a week ago. I'll be trying it again in this review is open to change. I had lunch with my sister for her birthday. Again, just opened in the former Fatted Calf location. At this time, there was no restaurant decor, 100% acoustic and very loud (more so than normal) once people started coming in. I'm certain this will change and improve as they settle in. I ordered the brisket and ribs plate with barbecue beans and a side salad. My understanding is this restaurant has been established for a while and moved from Sachse to Rockwall. -The brisket was good, not great. Very little smoke ring and next to no bark. Cut very thin. -The ribs came later. They looked great. It's my understanding that "competition style ribs" are not "fall off the bone" ribs. As you can see in the photos, before, and after... There was almost no meat on those ribs, all bone. Luck of the draw perhaps? If so, I still feel like I got the short end of the stick on the ribs. -The beans were good, but I'm anticipating that these were Bush Beans. -The salad was great! The jalapeño ranch was perfect with it! -My sister let me try her green beans. I thought they were really good flavored and I think had some bacon in it. -The roll was good -The sauce tasted like sweet baby rays to me, not that there's anything wrong with SBR, but I like to see restaurants like this with their own sauce (I could be wrong). -I wanted turkey, but they didn't have any. Again, I'll be trying this place again, but will likely be getting something different.

    Im a big BBQ fan, so my dad brought me to his favorite spot in Sachse. We arrived around 11:30 on a Saturday. When we walked through the doors, there were maybe 3 people inside, but closer to noon the restaurant began to fill up. Community is a fitting name because the building is huge, and they have plenty of seating & tables. They also have a program where you can donate either money, or buy an meal for someone in need in the community. For that, I was already won over. Now on to the bbq. The ribs were my favorite part. They were smoked perfectly and fell right off the bone - didn't even need bbq sauce. The lean brisket was great too! Nice even char around the edges with a tender & moist core. The sides were all good. What stood out was the fresh cut fries. You could tell they were actually cut there straight from the potato. Simple but delicious! I'll be back next time I visit my folks!

    We drove by this restaurant almost daily and we have wanted to stop in and try this place. Tonight was the night. We love barbecue and were excited to try this place. Service: fantastic and attentive. They did not miss a beat Appetizers-nothing great. Queso was cold the chip got stuck in the queso and the chips were stale. Sad. Fried pickles were ok. Dinner: chicken was smoked but not seasoning. Sad. Brisket-ok. The bark looked like it was going to be great, but it was soggy and you could see the smoke line. The sausage nothing great. Sides:okra was the best everything else just ok. We may try this again..we'll see. I was disappointed because we love great barbecue

    Stopped in on a Sunday evening: very spacious restaurant with an inviting bar so I decided to eat…read moreat the bar. Super friendly welcome from the wait staff and it turned out the owner was working too. Great conversation. Started with the armadillo eggs which are deep fried Jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese and served with ranch. These things are a weakness of mine and I ate the entire order. Next had a two meat platter with brisket and jalapeño cheese sausage. Sides were fried okra and broccoli. They have their fried food game down. Okra was hot and crispy and well seasoned. Delicious. The broccoli tasted like homemade steamed broccoli and was the exact texture I like. My brisket was super tender and tasty and the sausage was satisfying. I used the spicy sauce which gave everything a kick. Finished with the banana pudding with nilla wafers. Stuffed! Delicious meal and so friendly - I'll be back maybe for when they have live music on a weekend.

    Since this is so close to home, it's become one of our go to's... We have not had bad service once,…read moreand their food is pretty good too. My only issue with this place is the miniature sides provided. What most places might use for serving some gravy or other sauce. They use for your sides. But other than that, their smash burger is awesome. Catfish is some of the best around & their BBQ is good too.

    Here's a polished review based on your Facebook post:…read more Smoak Town BBQ is everything that makes Texas barbecue special. From the moment I arrived, I could tell this place was something different. Even on a 100-degree day, the covered seating area with cooling fans was full of locals who couldn't stop talking about the great barbecue here. Smoak Town isn't just serving incredible food; it's built on family, hard work, faith, and a genuine love for barbecue. One of the highlights of my visit was spending time talking with Rob, the pitmaster's father, and hearing the story of how Cameron turned a passion for backyard barbecue into an award-winning business after success on the competition circuit...and encouragement from dad. The food was outstanding across the board. The brisket was perfectly smoked and so tender it fell apart with a fork. The beer-basted turkey was unbelievably moist, the pork belly burnt ends were meaty and flavorful, and the jalapeño-cheese sausage had just the right amount of kick. The brisket baked beans were some of the best I've had anywhere. What really set Smoak Town apart, though, was the hospitality. After I got home, I received a personalized text thanking me for stopping by and letting me know I was welcome back anytime--as family. That simple gesture perfectly captured what Texas barbecue is all about. If you're looking for authentic Texas barbecue that's served with heart, Smoak Town BBQ absolutely deserves a spot on your must-visit list. Great food, great people, and true Texas hospitality. I'll definitely be back.

    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
