    What a great experience. The tacos were awesome from the food truck and they even had a movie for the kiddos to enjoy while we sat back and vibed with the live music. Well done. Great service and friendly staff.

    Just left out first visit to the Northside. I would give them 10 stars if I could. I can't say enough good things about this place. The staff is incredible and the food is insanely good. We got asked several time how our food was and if we needed anything. (You can tell how much everyone working there takes pride in their job) My kiddos enjoyed the large space to run around which gave us parents some time to relax. We will definitely be back!!!

    Super chill spot; food was really good the brisket nachos were way bigger than we expected which was great! Tacos from Taco Wasted were amazing and the drinks were great! Can't wait to re-visit during a game or live music.

    Indoor-ish seating area near one of the bars and where their food is served from.

What I loved most about this place was how local it was. People were dropping in, and everyone knew each other. We loved it. I highly recommend getting a reservation. We came in and sat at the bar, which wasn't bad, but just a heads up! Bartender/server Russo - AMAZING! This space isn't extremely spacious. They do have an outside, but it was really cold. We started off with a wine flight. Such a lovely poor for a flight, and the price was only 18. My man and I actually shared it. Will easily get this every time. For food - you can't go wrong with anything. I mean anything. We were blown away. We started off with the seared tuna, the sauce was so tasty we dipped our toasted focaccia bread in it. Perfect combination. We couldn't choose between the two pastas so we got both. The lamb gnocchi and ricotta lemon ravioli everything was so perfect. Both great portions, both extremely flavorful. You have to get these. We ended the night with a desert and again, blown away. We got the chocolate mousse and cleaned the bowl. It had little bites of vanilla cake in it, so good. This place is fantastic. We are easily coming back, we need to try the sandwiches!

    I have only one thing to say about Dudley's bar and grill, excellent people, excellent service,…read morethese people went out of their way even though, I wasn't even their customer. I fell in the parking lot, wasn't even their responsibility. It wasn't their fault, but their staff, was more than helpful, made me feel like what's in the right place. Next thing they did, was to comfort me, and give me medical treatment. I mean it was only a few scratches. My forearm was bleeding. Of course. I was bleeding all over the parking lot. But they didn't care, they took care of me when I need them. They opened their bathroom, and they gave me sufficient medical care to get home. I've never been in Dudley's bar before. But I give them a AAA reading on there staff, and need to be helpful. It seemed like a bunch of off duty. Paramedics took care me. I very much appreciate their time and their care.

    AJ, Ashly, and Josh are my favorites. AJ is very charismatic always makes everyone feel welcome…read more Ashly is the same way, always smiling and in a good mood every time you walk in. It's rare to find people who are consistently that kind and genuine Josh is great too dry humor always himself, and if you know Josh you know exactly what I mean Even when they aren't there, the other bartenders are still awesome. Mike is great too and always takes care of people. The whole staff just feels comfortable around each other and it makes the place feel really welcoming instead of awkward or forced. Also Gabe, the owner, is awesomeHe remembered my name the first time I met him and that stuck with me. Little things like that matter. I hadn't built relationships with AJ, Ashly, and Josh I probably wouldn't have kept coming back the way I do... but now it feels like one of those places you're always happy to walk into

    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

    Driving around Texas eating BBQ on the Texas Monthly Top 50 list so we made a trip to visit Smoak…read moreTown BBQ. Smoak Town BBQ was stop #2 on our Dallas trip. 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.
