0 reviews“The Round Rock flagship of a Central Texas family chain”
Founded by Mo and Lisa Melchor in Cedar Park in 2000, Smokey Mo's grew from a single store into a Central Texas chain of more than twenty locations, and the Round Rock store on I-35 is one of its longtime anchors. It occupies the value end of the spectrum: counter-service plates, sandwiches, and sides aimed at families and highway travelers rather than the pilgrimage crowd. The brisket plate is the everyday order, sliced and served with a workaday smoke, and the sausage brings a snappy link to the tray. Baby back ribs give the menu a tender, glazed option, and the Smokey Mo combo lets you cover the board in one order. This is dependable family-chain barbecue built around value and consistency — the kind of I-35 stop a Round Rock family can rely on for a full plate at a fair price.

Smokey Mo ComboWhy It Stands Out
**Value-driven family-chain 'cue on the I-35 corridor.** The Round Rock Smokey Mo's serves everyday brisket plates, snappy sausage, and glazed baby backs — one of the longtime anchors of a chain grown from a single Cedar Park store since 2000.
