Are you kidding? What a hidden gem. We had the amazing Sweet chilli ribs and the brisket crunch wrap. And it made it to the table so quick, ordering was so swift and easy as well. We also had amazing mules at the bar next to the truck. 10/10 experience you won’t regret stopping by.
Let me put y’all on real quick—CM Smokehouse is that spot! I’d been eyeing this place forever, and babyyy, the burnt ends and tacos did not disappoint. Straight up out of this world! The flavors were bold, the portions generous, and the hospitality from the staff was the cherry on top. You can tell they care about the food and the experience. Honestly, we might start showing up at Bouldin Acres on the regular just for another hit of CM Smokehouse. It’s that serious.
This place was recommended by Kill Tony so my wife and I gave it a shot. BIG MISTAKE. Confusing place. Had to ask 3 people (including the bar tender) to locate the food truck, that doesn’t say anything about bbq, to read a sign that says we need to sit at the bar and scan a qr code access the menu. The Menu was sparse and pricey. We ordered the tiniest, most dry, sorry excuse for a brisket sandwich. It was like a brisket slider that they added toppings to in order to give it some sort of flavor. Also, seems like they had Salt Bae in the kitchen over salting everything. Not real texas BBQ. In fact im convinced it wasn’t real at all. On top of everything they slapped a pretty hefty automatic gratuity. Do yourself a favor and go to Terry Blacks instead, its 5 minutes away.
CM Smokehouse was great! The atmosphere was fun, the service was very fast, and the food was amazing. We ordered food, I got an elk burger and fries which was amazing, and it came out within 10 minutes AND it was super busy. Along with that, the food was so good and priced reasonably for what it was. There was a pickle ball court and a bar if you wanted to have some fun with some friends. Great spot and would high recommend to locals or people visiting!
Food was delicious but we got it to go. The server/bartender was very nice too. We look forward in sticking around and enjoying the place next time .
