Thank you Smoking Oak for the great food and wonderful catering service you provided Us during our Annual Hurricane Preparedness training. Your food was amazing and the Staff enjoyed everything!!

I arrived after 5:00pm on a week day and NO ONE was around. It thought that they had sold out until someone told me that they had opened for dinner. The place was absolutely empty and no one waiting for food. I knew I was in trouble: a BBQ place with no line is a warning sign. True to form, the food wasn’t something to rave about. The pork ribs were a definite pass. They were smothered with sauce to make up for other challenges. The brisket was slightly better. The beans tasted good, so there was that. The creamed corn broke my rule that I’ve never found creamed corn that I didn’t like. Maybe it’s better for lunch. I recommend trying it during a weekend or lunch, but this wasn’t for me.

OMG, This brisket was THE BEST I have ever tasted. I love this place, Mario was so personable and the cuatomer service was amazing. I highly recommend Smoking Oak and ALL THE FOOD WAS SUPERIOR to other places I have been. They deserve 10 STARS

Smoking Oak was great! Ordered the brisket burger. The meat was moist, tender and delicious! If you see the pic the meat had a nice smoke ring….came back more recently… Thursday during lunch. Ordered chicken, ribs and brisket. All three meats were served in short order, all meats were delicious!

Some of the best BBQ in the Ruo Grande Valley. Never disappoints, always hits the spot. Brisket and Robs are fav. The potato salad is great. You also have to try the sweet tea.

Loved this place, we had a little bit of everything and it was DELICIOUS!!! It was our first time coming here, but it won’t be the last. On Saturday and Sunday they have the giant ribs for $20/pound, which 1 rib hits the 1lb mark but it sure is worth it. The chicken is just perfect, moist and tasty! Here are some pictures to make your mouth water.

Great food, good service, but be careful… the price on the menu isn’t what you pay…. Without telling us, they charge us extra for ribs on the two meat plate meal. They also added a tip without informing us. What difference does it make if the waitress serves 4 tables with two persons or a long table with 8 persons… go figure…maybe next time we’ll all sit in different table and let the waitress really work for the tip…

Very sweet! I wanted to check this place out as it was a Top 50 Texas BBQ joints; however, it did not live up to my expectations. The meat was cooked fine but the glaze was too sweet. I wish I would’ve only gotten one rib. If you like sweet bbq you might love this place but I don’t see myself coming back.

Off the chain BBQ! Everything I’ve had is awesome! I know why Texas Monthly picked them One of top fifty BBQ restaurants in Texas ! It’s so good! Owner and staff are the nicest of people. Place is really nice. It’s worth making a trip if you’re not close by.
