Staff was friendly. They could have been a little more attentive but she did tell us she was shadowing/training from the start. We started off with the chips and smoked queso. The queso definitely had that smoking taste. We enjoyed it. My 9 yr old had the chicken bacon ranch quesadilla and it was delicious. I had the chicken fried steak. The breading was seasoned just right and the steak was also pretty good. It comes with a white gravy. For our sides we had green beans, Mac and cheese, fried okra and potato salad. I didn’t get a picture of my husband 3 meat plate but let just say the portions are small. If you get brisket be specific about if you want lean or not because they will not ask you and they’ll give you the lean part which is very dry. The sides were the winners tonight.

Going into this review with the heads up that they just open this location about a week ago. I’ll be trying it again in this review is open to change.
I had lunch with my sister for her birthday. Again, just opened in the former Fatted Calf location. At this time, there was no restaurant decor, 100% acoustic and very loud (more so than normal) once people started coming in. I’m certain this will change and improve as they settle in.
I ordered the brisket and ribs plate with barbecue beans and a side salad. My understanding is this restaurant has been established for a while and moved from Sachse to Rockwall.
-The brisket was good, not great. Very little smoke ring and next to no bark. Cut very thin.
-The ribs came later. They looked great. It’s my understanding that “competition style ribs” are not “fall off the bone” ribs. As you can see in the photos, before, and after… There was almost no meat on those ribs, all bone. Luck of the draw perhaps? If so, I still feel like I got the short end of the stick on the ribs.
-The beans were good, but I’m anticipating that these were Bush Beans.
-The salad was great! The jalapeño ranch was perfect with it!
-My sister let me try her green beans. I thought they were really good flavored and I think had some bacon in it.
-The roll was good
-The sauce tasted like sweet baby rays to me, not that there’s anything wrong with SBR, but I like to see restaurants like this with their own sauce (I could be wrong).
-I wanted turkey, but they didn’t have any.
Again, I’ll be trying this place again, but will likely be getting something different.

I agree with some of the reviewers that the food needs to be stepped up a notch and service was a bit slow. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful with the menu.
Boss lady and I came in after the lunch rush. Only three other tables had customers. I ordered the 205 Plate with (what was to be fatty, not. It was cold and dry) brisket and the spicy sausage, which was delicious! My sides were green beans (with bacon) and fried okra…both very tasty.
She had their special flat iron steak, cooked medium rare (always!) with salad and and fries (which need to be done more). Her steak was so tender and cooked perfectly!
Dessert was their sampler. With a double order of banana pudding, a bread pudding and a chocolate cake. The best thing was the bread pudding but it needs a warm sauce on it. The others were just Ok.
Overall, a good meal and experience. We’ll be back to try something different.

I bet you didn’t know that Community BBQ & Grill served steaks or had a meat market?! Well, we didn’t. Why didn’t someone tell us?
My wife and son were in a separate vehicle from me last night, and we both met up in downtown and parked near each other. All of us were hungry, but we didn’t know what sounded good.
Knowing how crowded some of the favorites downtown would be, we decided to go walkabout and see where we could get in to grab a seat quickly. Actually, scratch that, Crystal decided to shop at Groovy’s first.
Directly next door was the old location that the Fatted Calf & Old Timers, once occupied. Back in September 2022 it became Community BBQ. I had personally stopped in for a lunch back in October and enjoyed it.
This is not your typical BBQ joint. You don’t stand in line and order, you are served at a table, similar to Sideways at the Harbor. They aren’t brand new, this is actually a transplant restaurant from Sachse, where they had prior success.
There are plenty of items on the menu as shown, and they serve beer & wine as well. I believe there are future plans for liquor. There’s already the bar for it.
Once we walked inside we were immediately greeted, and offered to sit in the back room as the front area was full and large party was soon to arrive. It was up front we noticed the meat market (which is open on Saturday’s).
We were familiar with the back room as we had sat back here for brunch when it was Fatted Calf. They have however reconstructed the hallway so that you no longer awkwardly walk through the hot kitchen to get there.
We had the room to ourselves for the entirety of our dinner, which was really cozy. We inquired and found that you can reserve / rent the back room for events and such. Former guests include the Rockwall Chamber of Commerce & the Rockwallian Women’s Group, we were told.
A sign out front (only good for last night), mentioned buy 1 steak get 2nd half off. So steaks it is. Wife had the Filet and the guy that pays had the Ribeye. Little one had the fresh cut chicken nuggets.
Our steaks included 2 sides, and we both had salads. Her side was green beans and mine was the okra. Our son had the Mac & Cheese. We all shared all of our orders with each other to sample everything. For an appetizer we had onion rings, and for dessert we had the bread pudding.
Carrie, our server / manager, gave us her full attention ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. And the owner even came out to discuss our steaks and how they’ll be cooked / served. We still have half our steaks and sides for leftovers today!
I asked about the bareness on the walls, and was told that soon the Mint Julep would partner in decorating and adorning with paintings that are available to purchase!
It was also mentioned that they’re looking at the possibilities that they’ll bring back a familiar favorite to the location – BRUNCH!
Lastly it was mentioned that part of their name is what they do and give back to the community. They provide food to the pantry Rockwall Helping Hands, including meat!
Don’t sleep on this place, and give them a shot. We are glad that we did.

Went in tonight for the opening night to try this new restaurant. The food was great we each went for the 3 meat special plus a assortment of appetizers. The brisket balls with jalapeños were great will be back soon for more of those and some more smoked meats. Very clean and well staffed place with exceptional service. looking forward to coming back .

We were seated quickly and the restaurant is clean, chalk wall for the kids, limited menu but very good. My 9 year old ate an entire plate of ribs, I had a Manchester 1/3 lbs moist sliced beef. Wife had a Wagon and was loaded down with meat. The mac n cheese was creamy, baked beans were amazing. We will be back.

With country music playing over head and cute little smokers on all the tables, the atmosphere screams BBQ! And Community didnt disappoint. Pricing is a bit high but good bbq is worth it. The meat was great. On the brisket, you can request lean or moist(more fat). The sides were very yummy.
Our server was attentive and made recommendations when asked. Very happy with our experience and will be back. P.S. the mud pie was amazing!

It’s a nice barbecue place. I ordered a Brisket sandwich and miracle fries. Meat is lean and very soft and tasty. One order of fries is enough for two people. It comes loaded.

Okay, our first time here. I love BBQ. All kinds. But I don’t like dining in the smoke filled restaurants. THIS PLACE is awesome!! They smoke it outside, and the inside is just wonderfully thought out and welcoming. The place is spotless, I even looked into the kitchen from the dining area. SPOTLESS! The food was absolutely wonderful. Had the Meteor balls as an appetizer, and they were so good, I could have made a meal of them, I had the three meat dinner. The staff were super attentive. They almost anticipated what we needed. It will be a regular stop for lunch or dinner from now on!!!
