Flatrock Smokehouse BBQ Restaurant & Catering

Some of the worst bbq in my life. I hope this place can figure it out.

We got the sausage, smoked turkey, turkey leg, brisket Mac and cheese and potato salad.

Sausage was average, definitely tasted like a low quality grocery store sausage. The bbq sauce made it edible. The smoked turkey we received was dry and burnt. The brisket Mac and cheese was runny and overcooked noodles. Tasted more like watered down noodles with a ton of bbq sauce mixed in it. The potato salad was nasty as well. No flavor. Even tried adding salt and pepper to help, still gross.

Atmosphere was dark and cold, not very inviting at all. The plastic spoons and forks were an interesting choice. The only salt and pepper on the table was in the utensil packets.

The turkey leg and the Texas toast was the only edible items we found at this spot.

Coming back to give another updated review. I used to love this place and the last time I ate here seemed to be a one off. Fast forward and I got it again yesterday and confirmed it is not a one off. The ribs and brisket were phenomenal that I had for superbowl Sunday and boy have they fell off.

The ribs were extremely fatty and tasted old. Temperature control for food is obviously out of whack. They didn’t bother to trim the ribs I see. The brisket (my favorite meat) was soooooo dry. I wasted my money for sure. Oh and the Mac and cheese is terribly runny.

First pic of me holding the ribs is from a few months ago and the other pics are from yesterday. I actually won’t be returning.

Smoked chicken was way over cooked. Loaded fries were hard as a rock. Waste of money

Stay away from, no run from the brisket mac and cheese. It was runny cheese and undercooked noodles.

If you visit on a Friday, be sure to get the catfish. It was hot, crunchy, and delicious.

The chicken was awesome!

I've heard of surcharges for eggs and other items when they are scarce. But this is the first time that I've seen a surcharge for a cup of water. Take a look at my receipt under the heading of Drink Otions, and you will see what I'm talking about.

It was hard to choose, so we ordered quite a few things! LOL!! For the most part, we enjoyed everything! I love the way they deconstruct their baked potato!!! I've never seen it prepared that way! Unfortunately, we didn't enjoy the peach cobbler, so wouldn't get that again. 😕 The owner came out to talk to us, and he was so welcoming. In fact, his entire staff is extremely accommodating and has phenomenal customer service!!!!!

I have been going to flatrock for several months. Most of my experiences have been positive but this past sunday it was not. I ordered the turkey leg combo with greens, yams and cornbread. When i received my order the turkey leg was the size of a chicken leg and the cornbread was so cold that it was obviously leftovers from saturday ,taken right out of the refridgerator. When i complained , a black female employee told me that they discounted the leg by $2.00 due to the size and she told me i should put the cold cornbread in the microwave when i got home. My order was nearly $25.00.....after the discount. I basically paid $25 bucks for a piece of chicken with cold, hard cornbread. I ended up going to the other bar b-q place in the colony and got more meat. You have to offer consistent quality. Cold , leftover cornbread should never be served with a hot meal. If you dont have the correct portion size then give two for the price of one but you should never serve a turkey leg the size of a chicken leg to a customer!!!

Absolutely amazing food! I mean amazing! The staff was friendly. Great prices. I assume it was the owner also checked on all of the guests while we were eating. Veteran/Military discount year around. We love supporting those who support us.

Parking: They offer Veteran Only parking.

I’m super picky when it comes to BBQ. But let me tell you this place has it down! The best brisket I’ve had in a long time. The beans have chunks of brisket in them making them absolutely phenomenal!!!! The potato salad was delicious also. The office I work in had it catered and now I can’t wait to dine in at the restaurant. Absolutely delicious!

The brisket at Flatrock is the best I've ever had. Now. I have had the ribs and the sausage, and I will say that they are in the same category!! I usually stick with what I like, so don't always try everything when I find something great (brisket), but tried the ribs and sausage, and it blew me away! Robert is the smoke king!!!
We have used Flatrock several times for get togethers and the food is top notch! Lucky to have them close by, cause good BBQ is worth traveling to!

Was excited to try BBQ. here. However thing didnt go as planned. Order 2 items. Asked for pickles and onions and jalapeños. Asked again before I left. Get home and NO pickles or onions or jalapeños no extra bbq sauce. We'll to my surprise the peach cobbler was ice cold. So not fresh. I returned back to this place to be told they can only refund the cobbler. WTH do u mean. They offered to remake my order. I respectful declined.
At the end they made it right by giving me a refund.
Getting an order correct is key.
