Edit following the owner’s uncontrolled outrage against Rhonda McKenzie:My goodness! Just take a look at how the ‘owner’ responded to Rhonda McKenzie’s poor experience.If you can’t take ownership of your mistakes then you shouldn’t take ownership of a business. No wonder why this place closed down.Good riddance given how awful and mean they are to customers.Is this supposed to be Dick’s Last Resort?Initial Review:The ribs are phenomenal! That’s probably the best item on the menu.They’re growing and working out little kinks, but the great thing is that they’re building around amazing food.There are little things they can improve on like having plates for appetizers, having wall decor, and making enough food to meat (pun) demand.I hear they’re getting a bar license which should make this place even better. I can only see this place going up and am excited to see it become a staple in Rockwall.

This place is relatively under the radar, but not for long. Stopped in for some lunch. Loved the steak, ribs, sausage. Also the Mac and cheese was to die for!!! The service was prompt and friendly and the atmosphere was lively and inviting. It was clean, anyone else find this important? Can’t wait to go back.

Love the people and their mission statement. The service is always great.
The best BBQ I have had in years. It is such a great locally owned, friendly place. The owner was super nice! Our food was delicious. Definitely on our go-to list when in town.

We came in for a birthday lunch/dinner at 2pm. The reserving guest was forced to put down a $250 deposit for a private area when he made the reservation months ahead. The “area” was not available when we got there. We had approximately 13 people in attendance. We were informed that the service would be interrupted because they didn’t have any servers to cover us. A very strange, rude and obnoxious woman waited on the entire table. There were a few other diners when we got there. During our wait, the place cleared out and they put a sign on the door saying they would reopen at 5pm. With an empty restaurant it took us 45 minutes before we were asked what to drink and eat. (Another 20 minutes to get drinks.) The lady stated that they were out of quite a few things on the menu. She also stated that if we were ordering fried foods that we would be making the entire table wait to receive their order because fried foods take longer to cook. The food finally came after our waiting about 1 hour and 45 minutes or so. The meat was good (but very sparse) and the sides were cold. When we were done eating the mate of the birthday guy asked for the cake to be brought out to the table. The “waitress” told us that we had to keep our used dinner forks or we’d have nothing to eat with. She refused to split up the bill on the initial request and told everyone that we’d get one bill and need to figure it out ourselves. They did give the deposit back to be put toward the bill. A gratuity was also on the bill. If I could have paid myself for my own cost, that lady would have been my first ever no-tip. She was awful and made the occasion a very bad situation. She’s lucky that we respected the birthday boy and just dealt with it. We won’t be back!!!

Unfortunately we had a terrible experience at dinner tonight. They were short staffed so the service was terrible. The meat, regardless of what you order, is fantastic. The sides were not good. My mashed potatoes were cold and served with a side of "something" (gravy? cheese?), and my salad was nothing to write home about. My husband's fries were cold & soggy. After we ordered, the server had to come back twice to say "we don't have any steaks" (WHAT?) , we don't have any Mac & Cheese, we don't have a beer list". Oh, and there was no butter for the dinner rolls. She also said, "our beer stock is really low". So if you're looking for a steak dinner and a cold beer on a Friday night, this isn't the place to go.For the price we paid, it was a terrible experience and what's worse was there was no apology. Never again.

I had the miss pleasure of having thier "food", and ended up spending the night next to the toilet. I am not sure what caused it but it was the only thing I had to eat that day. I would recommend either Dickies, or cooking at home before I eat there again, if you do ask where the meat it cooked I don't think it is prepared there, beans tasted like bushes.

I’m a bit baffled by the good reviews. I can only assume they’re just trying to support a local business but they’d be better served with honest reviews. It’s expensive and the food was just bad. Dry brisket, bland sides (I’m pretty sure the potato salad was from Costco), and mediocre service. I was sad because I was excited to try this place and it’s a great location with good atmosphere. I’d they can step up their food and service, could be a great place.
Awesome Texas BBQ. True Texas ambiance as well. Try the Meteor bites, they are delish.

Dr. Andy is a master of meat and breakfast taco. What we thought would be a quick pop in to grab something to go turned into a joyful conversation and a delightful morning. Community BBQ is well named and a welcome addition to Rockwall's historic town square. Can't wait to return for dinner. JFND!

Best bbq in Rockwall! We had a great visit with Andy the owner of this fine establishment. He quickly took our order and made us feel at home.Seriously this bbq is hands down great! We ordered brisket, potato salad,cole slaw and bread. Everything was to perfection. It's all homemade. The banana pudding and white chocolate bread pudding was delicious! We ate every bite.This restaurant will be on our weekly list to have lunch or dinner.Rockwall is blessed to have this business.
