Holy Smoke Texas Style BBQ

How amazing is it to walk into the restaurant to find a gluten free menu posted for all to see!! No having to ask! Nice move. My wife had the spud bud with pulled pork (sorry no photo, food was too good to wait for me to get a photo), and I had the GF Ribs (not glazed), side of baked potato and salad. All of the sauces are gluten free and have great flavor (didn’t try the ghost pepper). The ribs were wonderfully done, great flavor and super tender. Highly recommend the baked potato with onions and cheese! The interior of the building is very cute with great decor. Staff was super helpful and attentive. We received several visits after we had our food to check on us and our meals. We will definitely be back for another visit.

Good and quick service. Lots of gluten free options and all very good!

Hefty prices for good portions of bland food. Everyone in our group had some complaint about the food: brisket was super dry and bland, pork was too smoky, potato had no flavor and was chalky (starchy), and the Mac n cheese was oddly mushy with chunky cheese. For $38, I ordered one small fountain drink cup (unlimited free refills) and two Spud Buds each with no slaw, two orders of Mac n cheese inside, and brisket. They were out of beans, so I couldn’t add those in. The only thing that was tasty was the Mac n cheese, but like I mentioned it was chunky cheese. Potato and brisket were dry and bland. I tried using their sauces to make it more flavorful, but they were all just variations of barbecue sauce with varying spice levels. The bottles said Regular, Spicy, Hot, and Ghost Pepper, so I thought they may have been buffalo sauces of the sort but they were all just barbecue sauce variants. Everyone else in my group kinda felt “eh” about the food. Nothing extraordinary by any means. So I’m giving 2 stars primarily because of the food, but the service was a bunch of young near-teens that seemed like they didn’t wanna be there lol. Gluten free options are offered. No military discount offered. Atmosphere was alright—cool decorations and signs around with plenty of seating which was nice. There was also plenty of parking outside as well. For bathrooms: there’s one door that leads to a single-person restroom separately for men and women. Overall, I’d never choose this place again due to the lacking taste of food that’s surprisingly expensive. Barbecue should be juicy, messy to eat, and filling! This was almost tasteless :/
