Smoke Monkey BBQ

This was our first time here, and we were genuinely excited to find an authentic Texas BBQ spot so close to our new home. The atmosphere looked great when we walked in, and we had high hopes. We ordered a half pound of brisket, a half slab of ribs, and a quart of mashed potatoes. When they handed us the order in a to-go bag, it felt surprisingly light. I checked before leaving and realized it only contained the potatoes — glad I looked. They let us know the rest would be right out. They also almost forgot the gallon of sweet tea we ordered. When we got home and opened the brisket, unfortunately it was almost entirely fat (see photo). The ribs were pretty good, and the mashed potatoes were good as well, though they didn’t include any gravy. The final disappointment was that there were no

Smoke Monkey BBQ delivered a strong experience. I arrived near closing, and the staff still treated me with attention and patience. The hospitality stood out. The barbecue had deep flavor and tender texture. The brisket tasted rich. The sides had care behind them. I noticed live music toward the end of my visit, which added to the atmosphere. It created an easy place to sit and enjoy the meal. I plan to return during regular hours to take in the full experience. This spot earns the rating without question.

My husband and I tried it for the first time on Sunday and I have to say it was great. The atmosphere was great friendly staff clean. The food was so great hadn’t tasted a good gumbo in a while and the salad bar was out of this world.

LC Container LLC stop by here on the way home from Rocwall for a quick bite to eat. We had a great time playing on the playground, enjoying good food and a lot of free entertainment. They have an awesome buffet for the kids and for adults and the barbecue is good too. I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was amazing. Definitely will be coming back here as this is close to our house and on the way to our shopping trips.

I've been here before its been a while and it was good but today was the worst experience ever!! I got a wrong order of crawfish they were kinda cold by the way. I knew it wasnt right but figured they were going to bring the rest of my order. I got the buffet wasnt as full as it use to be. They took forever to bring my son his order I had to ask twice for it. The second time I asked for it 3 people were standing around just talking I finally asked for the rest of my order which was shrimp. The guy had to go look then he noticed they brought out the wrong order and I told him I knew something was right. They finally brought out my sons order after the lady said his order would be coming out twice and there wasnt alot of people there. I noticed it was all new people from when I use to go. I
