First time stop in McAllen Texas and have been to a lot of great bbq places. If this restaurant…read morewere in Dallas or Austin not sure it would be rated the same. Regardless had a sampling of their brisket, pork ribs and chicken. In order of preference was the chicken, then the ribs and lastly the brisket. I will admit I am kind of a bbq snob. The chicken was moist and cooked very well full of flavor. The ribs were meaty, good flavor but not epic. The brisket needed more of a bark and should not have been sliced as thin as it was. Again good taste, good smoke taste, well priced and no regrets.

Came here for an early dinner. It was quick to be seated. I ordered the Baked Potato with Moist…read moreBrisket, and a side of corn. The baked potato is in the larger side and also came with a generous amount of meat. The meat was seasoned well, however with the size of the potato, there were not enough cheese or sour cream so I would say 2/3 of the potato can use more seasoning or more salt

I checked out their family packages and headed to the drive-through, where Julio helped me pick the perfect Family Value Pack. He was incredibly helpful, answering all my questions--even about the new family pack, El Chapo. It made a huge difference to feel like I was actually being helped rather than just picking up generic food. And let me tell you--the brisket was awesome!! This was a real meal, not just cardboard-tasting fast food. I'll definitely be back for more!

If I had anything that would keep it from a 5 star were the sides I had. The beans were flavored well, I would just like a thicker roux. Also, the mac and cheese tasted wonderful.

This was my third visit to this BBQ joint we discovered earlier in 2025. I've eaten their brisket…read morepreviously and it is outstanding. It's the best I've eaten here in the RGV and coming in a close second to City Market in Luling, TX. It's that good! This visit I decided to try their Three Brisket Combo meal. It comes with three brisket tacos (corn or flour tortillas) loaded with brisket, a couple grilled jalapeño slices, grilled onions and some cilantro. They didn't need salsa but a squeeze of lime might've been helpful. The side I chose was their house made coleslaw which was pretty tasty. I ordered their green beans with onion and bacon but a few minutes after ordering a fellow came out to tell me they were out of the beans so I settled for the slaw. I also ordered an order of their house cut, tallow fried french fries. Man, were they GOOD! As in THE BEST FRIES I'VE EVER EATEN IN MY LIFE GOOD!!! They are worth the visit all by themselves. The combo meal comes with a bottomless drink as well. The wife and I split the Combo meal, added the fries and a small side of potato salad that she wanted. We each ate one taco and about half of the sides. So we had a leftover taco, some fries and half our sides for the next day. All for like $21. The combo meal is $13.99 which is a pretty good deal in itself. The fries were like $6 and well worth the price. We will definitely be back. I would also highly recommend their 50/50 Rice and Beans topped with Brisket Bowl. That provided two meals for me when I ordered it previously. You can't go wrong at this little joint.

Well ... the plate was sad looking and tasted AWFUL. The smell of chicken hit my face when I opened the plate. (You're not suppose to smell chicken unless it's spoiled). Oh and the "BBQ SAUCE" was red and looked/tasted like watered down ketchup. The chicken was so dry and hard/burnt we couldn't eat it. The rice was dry and nothing special to it. The only decent thing was the beans. Sadly those plates told us never dine at Smokey's.
