Wonderful people. Ordered to go order got delayed after ready in the chaos. I paid for banana pudding. Didn't get it. I wonder was it good? I may never know. Funny we pay and tip before service is verified.

I paid 10.99 for a less than a mc double size sandwich. I went through the drive thru. So I didn't see till we had reached our destination. No chips and a drink just a sandwich. Macaroni was good. Overpriced too. I got a serving. But I would have paid the same price at KFC for a family size. The potato with chopped beef was delicious and worth the price. So get down and dine in. That's the lesson I learned today.

Love the decor... they have a museum of old stuff used in ranches and silos and old stories all over the restaurant that reminds us of how technology has helped us in our days... The food ? will not disappoint and the options are many... plus they will suggest certain sides and will be worth it!!! Definitely a place to eat and enjoy history!!!

Smolik's Smokehouse: Good Smoke, Needs a Heat BumpSmolik's Smokehouse boasts a classic Texas BBQ experience, complete with paper-lined trays and friendly service. I dove into their 3-meat plate, featuring the holy trinity of brisket, ribs, and cheddar jalapeño sausage. While the flavors were generally good, a lack of temperature across the board kept it from being a slam dunk.The cheddar jalapeño sausage was the first misstep. While the smoky and spicy combo sounded promising, it arrived lukewarm. The casing remained unpleasantly chewy, and the cheese hadn't fully melted, making for a less than ideal textural experience.The brisket, the undisputed king of Texas BBQ, also fell short. It possessed a decent smoke flavor, but again, the temperature was lukewarm. This prevented the crucial fat rendering, leaving it chewy and lacking the melt-in-your-mouth tenderness a good brisket should have.The ribs were a similar story. While the smoky-sweet rub imparted a good flavor, they were cool to the touch. It felt like they might have been prepped earlier and sat for a while, explaining their dryness. The redeeming quality was the meat itself, which remained tender despite the lack of heat.The sides offered a mixed bag. The cole slaw was decent but forgettable, a standard slaw without any surprises. However, the green beans were a revelation. Cooked perfectly with a hint of smokiness, they offered a vibrant snap and delicious savory flavor. These were a true standout.My wife, on the other hand, had a much more positive experience with her half chicken. It arrived smoky and juicy, with a well-seasoned skin. The chicken itself was flavorful and perfectly cooked.The atmosphere at Smolik's is pure Texas BBQ. Picnic tables and a no-frills setting let the smoked meats take center stage. Overall, my experience was decent, but with a little more attention to temperature control, Smolik's could be truly great. Perhaps a second visit on a busier day might yield a hotter, fresher experience. If you're in the area and craving BBQ, Smolik's is worth a try, but be prepared for a potentially uneven experience.

Disappointed about the service I got Today 4 4 2024. Today I went to Smolik steakhouse . I wanted to enjoy a Chicken Fried Steak. My request was to have and pay for a double Chicken Fried Steak. It confused the crew. Guess no one ever ask for one before. I was willing to pay for it but The Manager of Smolik would not allow me to buy a double chicken fried steak unless I buy a whole meal. But only wanted two chicken fried steak on a plate.What ever happened to the customer always right. In my time a customer wanted to pay extra then he should. Guess in order to get a double chicken fried steak I have to drive to Nolan’s steakhouse. I hope you fix the issue on if customer wants to buy a double chicken fried steak he can.

Dont waste your time not as good as it use to be Tried to give them to many chances prices to much now food is ridiculous small portions now the new owners are trying to ruin The Smoliks name I tried to stick with them but not any more my last order was over $50 and small portions they gave me and the taste was the final straw i just cant belive it Over 20 years we use to eat there at least once or twice a week sad to say goodbye
What a great poboy, tea and brownie! The only sausage had the perfect kick.. the brisket was melt in you mouth yum and the sauce in the chop on the po boy was the tangy goodness that make BBQ so special. These together was just the perfect combination of perfect texas BBQ! Tea was fresh and the brownie was so rich the the unique frosting perfect blended with tiny bits of pecan ..guaranteed every bite as savory as the next. How did I not hit this flavor palace every trip down 37 ... I am changing that now!
