I’ve lived in 3 different places across Texas and this small barbecue place is the most peaceful, and the food itself is absolutely delicious. The staff were very welcoming and the atmosphere is peaceful so you can enjoy just how tasty their food is. Pictured here is the brisket sandwich, HANGRY baked potato, and the Texan sandwich, all of with a definitely recommend!

I went to have dinner with some friends here and loved it! Dwyanya took our order and was super pleasant from the moment we walked in. She explained the process as it was our first time. I am order the chopped brisket burger combo with Mac and cheese. After we got our food there was even warm bbq sauce, pickles, onions, etc. Everything was delicious! After we had our meal we chilled and played pool and darts in the back area. I would highly recommend this place if you’re in the area, it’s great food with reasonable prices and amazing service.

Moak’s is a fast and convenient BBQ chain which stands out because most BBQ places we’ve been to have long lines and high expectations. We were already in downtown Dallas and wanted something quick and easy and Moak’s definitely fits that bill. There’s some pretty cheap street parking just down the road, otherwise parking may have to be by lot, especially on busier days. There’s both indoor and outdoor options, we sat indoors with our dog which was nice to be able to do. The indoors itself is pretty standard for BBQ places, no frills and there’s nothing wrong with that. The only strange thing is that to get to the bathroom you have to go downstairs by elevator. The bathroom itself is rundown and just adds a strange feeling like you’re in a completely different building than the one you entered.
We ordered their 2 meat and a side combo plus some cornbread. For the meats we ordered their brisket and turkey and for the side we got mac and cheese. We wanted the sweet corn but they were out unfortunately. There was also some confusion as we wanted the cornbread to be our side but it auto charged us separately for it so we paid for it and also ended up getting the mac as a side since we had already paid. The brisket was good, a nice bark and salty flavor to it. Honestly it was better than some other BBQ we’ve had, the turkey however, was meh. It was a bit tough and bland, but not bad. The mac and cheese was nice, a good creamy texture to it. The real star was the cornbread. It was soft and buttery, a good contrast from the dryer turkey.
What Moak’s boils down to is good, quick BBQ; something that is kind of an oxymoron when you think about the smoking process. The location is centric to many things and the price was pretty reasonable. If you want some good, quick BBQ in the downtown Dallas area then this spot is for you!

came here on a day trip into dallas. Justin was extremely helpful when I was struggling on what to order, he had amazing customer service. the food was okay. personally we were not a fan of the cheese that was used in the sauce and the texan sandwich, i also think they could’ve added some coleslaw or smth in the sandwich so that it wasn’t just bread and meat.

Wow!!!!!! We really enjoyed this place, just a few minutes walk from our hotel. Tried almost all the offerings here, the stand outs were the brisket and “Texas Torpedos” – bacon wrapped, brisket stuffed jalapeños. Sides were so good too- Mac & Cheese was great!!!!! Definitely coming back to try the baked potato!!! Service and staff were lovely!!!

Amazing staff and fantastic rib! This thing is a dinosaur rib and is seasoned to perfection. You still have to try all the sauces for a perfect compliment. Make sure to stop by and chat with the staff, Cynthia was a doll and shared some wonderful stories with us.
