20 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Rockwall

“Ordered the brisket & ham for Christmas and everyone that ate was completely blown away and satisfied with the BBQ! Great Job Smoak Town you made my Christmas Dinner a Hit!“

“Best Beef Tenderloin ever! We had a Christmas Party last weekend for 10 people and Jeff knocked it out of the park! Highly recommend and definitely will be ordering again! 😊“

“My husband and I just left Smoke Monkey after taking a long break previous to this visit today. We were faithful customers years back and then for some reason the owners sold out and it went to pot. Then we tried several times sporadicly to no avail UNTIL-TODAY. Today we were VERY pleasantly surprised. The food was hot and fresh like years ago. They have a lady named Christy that is a TOTAL DOLL that comes out every few minutes with fresh, homemade, hot, buttered rolls & hot wings, blueberry cobbler, etc. She came out and asked if we’d ever tried the Bbq and I told her that we had but it was to spicy for us and she looked confused and came back with 2 ribs and a large slice of Brisket for us to try. It was delicious!!!! We were treated like family and couldn’t have been more impressed!!!! We will definitely be back & if you haven’t been in a minute- give them a try! You won’t regret it!

“The Guys at Wautaga Automotive, had a treat , thanks Soulmans.“

“We ordered a variety of the items because we were having trouble deciding what sounded best.

Ordering was fairly easy thru the True Texas BBQ app to pickup in the drive-thru. The order was ready on-time & brought out curbside to avoid having to wait in the line. 😏 super sweet worker on the drive thru speaker & brought out to my car (not sure if the same person)

Everything was still hot even after driving back home to Rowlett after pickup.

The portions were decent overall but especially good on the Loaded Brisket Chili dippers. HEB’s queso blanco is TOP TIER! I’ll make sure it’s on my regular shopping list going forward. 😋

The Texas-sized Pulled Pork sandwich was hefty & packed with flavor. Our kiddo loved the pickles and insists we will only be buying HEB pickles from now on. 😆

Brisket Birria Ramen should be a regular menu item versus limited time. I’ll be sad when it’s gone. So good, flavorful, a little kick of spice, and filling for the two of us that ate it. (We were a little skeptical/worried it would be a lot smaller but pleased with the container size)

Finally, we got the 2-meat plate with chopped brisket & poblano queso sausage. The sausage was 🔥🔥🔥 - Highly Recommend that!!

The sides we chose for the 2-meat plate were the potato salad & coleslaw. Potato salad was very tasty & the coleslaw was different but still delightfully good. I look forward to trying the other sides for future visits.

I wouldn’t say the brisket is the best I’ve ever had, however, it is very flavorful & did not disappoint. It tastes great in the brisket chili. And I would like to try it unsauced in the future to get a more “accurate” feel on how I really feel about it. I’m very picky about bbq sauces if/when I decide to use it so the brisket being sauced may be hindering my thoughts a little there.

The variety of choices we made cost less than a family pack & easily fed a family of 4 getting to try multiple menu offerings. Will definitely have again.“

“Save your money, this is the worst tasting barbeque I have ever experienced. Two people dinner and drinks 42.00. Their barbeque is tasteless. stick to your locals, they know how to do BBQ right. Never again will I spend a dime in a chain restaurant. To make matters worse, the employees were like robots, cold and unfriendly until you got to the cashier who was delighted to take your money. This review is for the newly established restaurant in Mabank, Tx. They wont last.“

“everything was great, bartender aweson“

“Great atmosphere, best barbecue I’ve had in forever“

“Awesome BBQ Joint“

“Me and my husband decided to try this place out. I wasn’t really in the mood for BBQ and we’re pretty TX when it comes to being picky on our brisket. So glad we came. The food was amazing!! Homemade everything and a good size portion for the price. Well done 👏“

“So delicious 🤤 definitely will make this a Wednesday thing during dance class“

“We were recommended here by a dear friend. It was for our son's wedding. We tasted first, talked with him second, & hired him third! Some of the BEST BBQ around. We served up 50, & had none left over. DEFINITELY worth the reasonable catering price!“

“We tried out this little gem today and were absolutely not disappointed. They were celebrating their 7th anniversary with a buffet, which meant we got to sample a little bit of everything—and every single bite was delicious. My favorite by far was the brisket lasagna. Hands down the best lasagna I’ve ever had, and it’s only served on Friday nights. If you love BBQ, skip the big-name spots and make the trip to downtown Wylie instead. Bold BBQ Pit will not disappoint.“

“Holy smokes is right!! The brisket tacos were amazing and the side corn was delicious 🙌 10/10“

“The wife and I tried there brisket and ribs this evening and it was really good and I definently recommend you try them if you enjoy delicious smoked food and grab a fried pie while your there. No more soulmans for us because Baker's is definently not stingy with there meat . priced better and tastier food . Staff was extremely friendly as well.“

“Omg so I was looking for some good ribs and I checked several places and read reviews and I decided to come here and when I tell you the ribs were falling off the bone omg so good!! 10 out of 10 would I recommend and I even told my husband I will be back tomorrow lol!! So good“

“Had dinner last night here and food was amazing! From the cornbread to dessert! Our waitress was amazing as well. Unfortunately I forgot her name but thank you for the attention and friendliness! Definitely on our fav list to eat from now on.“

“We’ve had dickies cater our high school reunions for several years. The Alumni loves their food.“
