About Smoke Monkey BBQ

Smoke Monkey BBQ is a welcoming restaurant with a relaxing outdoor country space featuring a stage and games. The food is exceptional, with tender and juicy brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and delicious chicken, pork, and beef options. The buffet is a great option, and the staff is awesome. While service can be slow, with long lines and wait times, the food and atmosphere make it worth visiting. Customers have enjoyed the 3-meat plate with brisket, sausage, and pulled pork, as well as the mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and sweet tea. The sausage with cheese has been a highlight, and the peach cobbler has been executed well. Some customers praised the smashed potato loaded with chopped brisket and sausage, describing it as one of the best BBQ meals they’ve had. The rustic barn-style setting makes the place feel authentic, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and a family-friendly atmosphere including a playground for kids. Live music and events like all-you-can-eat catfish and crawfish buffets add to the fun experience. Customers appreciated the friendly and welcoming staff, hot and fresh food, and fair prices that leave guests feeling satisfied. The outdoor sitting area is perfect for families, and the quality of the food, including shrimp that are real rather than frozen, was highly praised. The overall experience is seen as fantastic, with some mentioning the delicious cinnamon rolls with blueberries and free fight nights. Smoke Monkey BBQ is a place that makes visitors want to come back and try everything on the menu, making it a favorite spot in Rockwall.

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.

We experienced Smoke Monkey BBQ first time this weekend! Living in Texas there’s lots of “good” BBQ. Having managed a BBQ restaurant years ago I’m a declared critic of what’s good.
This is the best ever I have eaten! We had a family get together. Usually, as most families, get chicken from a fast food place.

Not this time! We ordered Smoke Money and wow was I amazed! Every single thing was perfect! So tender we cut it with a fork!

Smoke Monkey BBQ in Rockwall is the real deal when it comes to Texas barbecue. I ordered the smashed potato loaded with chopped brisket and sausage, and it was honestly one of the best BBQ meals I’ve had in a long time. The potato was huge, perfectly cooked, and piled high with tender brisket that had just the right smoky flavor.
