This would be 5 stars but the BBQ wasn’t very good. Service was good though. It’s in a gas station so it’s easy to get some snacks and donuts. 2 years ago.

I was very surprised by this place. Got a chopped brisket sandwich and potato salad. The Sandwich had a ton of meat on it and it was tender. Potato salad was pretty good too. Tasted homemade. Also, the older gentleman at the register was really kind and upbeat. I would definitely go back.

I have eaten the BBQ beef sandwich here several times and it’s really consistently good! The sandwich is a good size and as much as I can eat at one setting. I’m also a big fan of their BBQ sauce and their French fries. The last visit there, I tried their pinto beans, which had a nice flavor and a little kick included by the jalepeno’s. Overall, it’s definitely a value for the price and the portions and quality you get…it’s one of my goto’s when I visit Fate once a month!

Excellent barbecue joint.
Great service. Good amount of food for the price. The spicy pinto beans are awesome. The okra is great. The potato salad is delicious. If your looking for a barbecue place. This is it.

I ordered a box of custom donuts for my grandson’s 4th birthday and Renee did an awesome job. My grandson was so surprised that I got him donuts with his name spelled out and he loved all the special treats on top of the donuts. I have found my new place to go for donuts. Go check them out

Incredible donuts. Even beneath all the fun toppings is a great tasting donut with perfect texture. Highly recommend the strawberry glazed with sprinkles!

Awesome little gem in Fate. We tried both the bbq and donuts. Donuts are not too sweet and not oily at all, just right. Will be back for sure!

Went at 5:30 on Saturday to get Baked Potato. They were out, so ordered (2) 2 plate meals. Seems like we must have gotten the last of everything. Turkey was dry, sausage was dry, brisket was over cooked. Was supposed to get chicken nuggets for grandson, and was surprised by corn nuggets. Not the best experience.

This place is absolutely phenomenal. They have really, really good BBQ at very reasonable prices. Ever since BBQ became so en vogue, the prices have shot through the roof and places have sought to justify their high prices with specialty items. These guys stick to the basics: good quality meat, slow smoked with the right seasonings and charge a fair price for it all.
I usually get the Big Boy Sampler; it is enough to feed me, my wife and the kiddo. Their brisket is on point as are their ribs and turkey. You know good BBQ when the meat is good enough to eat without sauce.
Staff is very friendly. There is a gentleman that I run into on a regular basis who is very cordial and helpful and lately, there is a younger lady working that is also helpful. They generally don’t cook the sides in advance so they are able to tell you how long that stuff takes to cook. They also know their craft and it is cool to talk to those types. I have also personally witnessed them having to deal with overly picky customers who complain about nonsensical things (probably want something for free) and, every time, they have been very professional.
Recently, they started selling donuts and they are also excellent. Most of the rest of the donut places around close early so you have to get there equally early if you want full selection options. Because these guys sell donuts in the morning and BBQ later in the day, they continue to offer the donuts after normal donuts hours. I have had the urge to get donuts at 4:00 in the afternoon before and this is the only place around that I have found that I can get good donuts at that time of the day.
I wish they did Doordash or some other delivery type service because I occasionally feel lazy but hey, I can’t fault them for not doing it if it doesn’t work for their business model. I would rather drive down there and get good food than them doing something that doesn’t work and go out of business. I also hope that, one day, they get a freestanding building. They have one table because they are in a gas station and I occasionally like to take the kiddo out to eat and hit up the ice cream shop on Main Street. That doesn’t work if the one booth is occupied. I also like to see these types of small, locally owned businesses that put out good quality at reasonable prices thrive. Many places want to charge a premium and expect people to pay that premium because they are locally owned but that only works to a point. These guys don’t do that.

My favorite brisket taco place now has donuts! These days, you cant just do the usual that’s been done for the past 40 years. You gotta step up the creativity when it comes to having a worthy donut shop, and these guys surely achieved that. Its nice to finally have a great donut shop in Fate. Even better that it’s from the family that brought us Macks bbq. Such great people. The donuts taste great, look great, and some of them are HUGE! Highly recommend

If you go to Smokin Donuts, you know why you are there.
Its not healthy food beyond just meat by the pound, all else full of sugar from the sauces to the donuts and loaded with cheese. The BBQ bowls are a nice item, but all the sugar sauce ruined it IMO. They are generous portions for the price.
Maybe consider the overly sweet BBQ sauce on the side to let patron decide how much, if any. Diabetics, or those on the way, beware.
The Nachos could be even better if the cheese was layered in the chips rather than all dumped on top. Its hard to stir made nachos.
Tater tots were hard and crunchy, though not bad, I had never had them this way, maybe thats the way they do it? Not a fan of crinkle cut fries so won’t be ordering those again. Steak fries or the Joe Willys type (when they are not cooked trice or burned) are happier options to me.
I will say usually the meats are good, but last time the pork in our bowl tasted off and it was actually too tough to consume, just chewed and chewed til had to give up and spit it out.
Interesting donut selection, the apple fritters are some of the best.
Great counter eatery.
