Howdy, Rockwall BBQ fans! We heard the folks asking for Soulman’s nearby, and we couldn’t let Rockwall down. Our newest location has the same homestyle setup with freshly smoked barbecue made every morning. Don’t forget about the dessert! Southern banana pudding or sweet pecan pie, there’s always something to finish off the meal. Got a hankering for a whole lot of flavor in Rockwall? Our menu is loaded to the brim with traditional and Soulman’s-created recipes that keep even the pickiest of eaters coming back! We understand that Texan’s are hard to please when it comes to bar-b-que. We should know, we are too! That’s why we’re all about giving our neighbors a high quality and delicious meal for the best value.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Soulman’s BBQ! From the moment we walked in, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and super knowledgeable — they greeted us right at the door and helped us decide on the perfect combo meals.
The food was outstanding! The ½ rack of ribs with hot link and spicy BBQ sauce was tender, smoky, and full of flavor — the perfect balance of heat and sweet. The green beans and corn were great classic sides, fresh and seasoned just right.
The 3-meat plate was just as impressive — juicy chicken, flavorful kielbasa, and perfectly sliced brisket that practically melted in your mouth. The fried cabbage was a standout, and the ranch-style beans tied everything together perfectly.
Generous portions, great prices, and amazing service. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Definitely my new go-to spot for real Texas BBQ!

Coming from California to test Texas B.B.Q , this place lived up to the hype!! Great customer service, good portions of meat and sides orders. I recommend this place to get your b.b.q craving.

My first visit was petty terrible. Small portions, broken ice cream machine, and no pickles. HOWEVER, I gave them another chance today and my experience was much improved. Ample portion of brisket and sides… including toast. Friendly staff. Even got pickles and ice cream. One meat plate with no drink was still over $20 though.

We absolutely love Soulman’s! We often come to this location. The manager is professional and does his best to get customers through the line quickly. The chopped brisket sandwich (Out of Sight Special) and pulled pork sandwich are delicious. The macaroni and cheese and green beans are great. The whole restaurant and bathrooms are kept very clean. Staff are friendly and welcoming. My family enjoy our meals each time we come. Very good, true Texas BBQ

The food was good. Brisket and turkey are always pretty good at Soulmans! The fries were hot and fresh. Portions were small, its a good thing my appetite is not huge. The place was empty on a Sunday afternoon. Going out to eat costs a small fortune and we don’t do it often. BarBQue is usually worth it.

Luis is top tier, he takes good care of us, and so does the younger blonde haired girl. They both make sure we have everything we need, going above and beyond. Besides the food, they keep us coming back!
The brisket and bark are always amazing at this location, no sauce needed.

I’ve been eating Soul Man’s BBQ since Royce City was the only location and I just had the best brisket I’ve ever had at any of their locations, in fact some of the best brisket I’ve had in my life. Asst Mgr Luis, who carved my meal (I mentioned I really like the bark) sliced it perfectly so that the news a little bark on most every bite, including some real nice nuggets…I digress. Luis also mentioned Soul Man’s is trying out a new rub. Whatever it was, the new rub and/or the chef’s ability with a blade and consideration of the customer, they are doing great work at the I-30 location in Rockwall. The customer service across the line was very courteous and professional as well.
*apologies for not including a pic I was busy stuffing my face.

First time here. The meat was good but as it is ground up for the sandwich I had, there were so many pieces of gristle and fat to actually enjoy the sandwich. BBQ sauce was yummy. Mashed potatoes tasted as if they were from a box but the white gravy was good. Cole slaw was good too. Price was a bit high at almost $14 for a sandwich, two sides amd a drink. I will give it another try, one more, and try other sides. One great surprise was how delicious the FREE ice cream is that you can have after your meal!!

This is a franchise bbq restaurant out in Texas. Overall my experience was good, and I would visit again. Each location so far has the same set-up and taste.
Not many non-pork items on the menu. This location didn’t have many side options to choose from either. The staff was friendly, but definitely a bunch of teenagers at this location.

Quick and easy to order. Nice big tables that were clean. Ordered the Soul Bowl special with pork, sausage, beans and Fritos. Wow! Excellent. Enough to feed 2! We are passing through but will put this place on our return list.
