The smoked bbq chicken is consistently moist and flavorful. The best in the area.

The brisket at Smokey Mo’s is the real deal. Perfectly smoked, tender, and packed with flavor — it just melts in your mouth. You get that beautiful bark on the outside with juicy, well-marbled meat inside. No sauce needed (though theirs is great too).

I’ve tried brisket all over Texas, and Smokey Mo’s holds its own. Whether it’s sliced or chopped, it’s consistently spot-on. If brisket’s your thing, this place should be on your radar.

loved the brisket and burnt ends pork ribs were great 😌 would come here again. Friendly service and quick service. Clean restaurant.

!!UPDATE!! I came back and thought I would receive the same delicious food quality,and was extremely disappointed 😔 not only did my second trip to this location make me sad. it made me and my husband sick. Very nasty BBQ maybe it was whoever was working that day butttt it was night and day from our first experience the meat smelled like it was sprayed with raid just fowl. Not coming back. My husband threw up the whole night.

Smokey Mo’s is amazing! Their breakfast tacos routinely impress, brisket is on point for dinner and the sides are plentiful and flavorful. Pricing is reasonable for the quality and they give you a warm and inviting atmosphere. The whole family over this place!

Staff is always pleasant, we enjoy the food. They always get the order right. We do a lot of take out, and our orders aren't always right at other places. Great job Smokey Mo's!!

DAYUM! I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that today's Brisket sandwich was the BEST Brisket sandwich I've had in my almost 43 years of life. The place was spotless and the guy at the counter (Daniel C.) taking orders was great too, he had a friendly and welcoming attitude which is always appreciated, so thank you for that! I ordered a single meat Brisket sandwich and asked for it marbled. I know it's always a risk asking for that because sometimes people just don't really know what that means and you end up getting dry Brisket with a layer of fat on top, that's not marbled so I was hoping for the best, but anticipating that I might not really get what I was hoping for but damn was I SURPRISED. This sandwich was WOW! Whoever was working on shift today 4/13/25 at 3:50pm...they gave me what I was hoping for and I was not disappointed. I've been to several different Smoky Mo's and this has been the best in all ways by far. Again, best Brisket sandwich I've ever eaten. Now I have FOMO cause this is gonna be hard to beat! Keep up the great work, thank you!!!

A relatively short review. (My readers know I tend to over share, so key word relatively!) Had it delivered, so can only comment on the food.

I have had a lot of Texas Barbecue. Was an obsessive follower of The Texas Monthly Top 50 for many years, have been to most of the veteran winners all across the state. This is being shared so that readers can understand I have high standards for barbecue.

.5 pounds Brisket, almost always the star of the show. Some moist and tender pieces, some more dry. Some marbling, not enough. 6.5/10.

.25 pounds Pork Loin. Also inconsistent. The worst pieces were overcooked and even burnt. A couple did have good flavor and tenderness. 5.5/10.

.25 pounds Pork Ribs. Aside from some parts too chewy, the sweetness and rich flavor was actually very well infused. Could have used maybe a little more moistness, but excellent nevertheless. 7/10.

Pint of Macaroni & Cheese. Not enough cheesiness or flavor. Bland overall. 3.5/10.

Pint of Pinto Beans. Smokey Mo's advertises these as "award winning"? What awards? As good as a seasoned can of HEB beans. Granted, HEB has some quality food, but still. If I can get it from a can, it isn't that epic. 5/10.

Pint of Roasted Creamed Corn. Now, these should be "award winning"! The right amount of sweet to savory. The additional parsley and parmesan cheese are perfect choices. 8.5/10.

Mo's Original Barbecue Sauce. Has a distinct tone tinge of spiciness. Not too much, but I would call it more spicy than sweet. Not usually a huge fan of barbecue sauces- camp you shouldn't need condiments when the meat it good enough- but it was a nice addition, better than average. 6/10.

Complimentary bread, onions, pickles, as expected, no complaints- in fact, the pickles were actually fresher and maybe even higher quality than average.

I know inflation is inevitable, but around $40 all said and done feels very high for what was given, and since barbeque is always on the higher side for a casual meal, the quality needs to be high, too. No room for average when they are charging this much. Too much average and good enough from Mo for me to see him again.
