F1 Smokehouse exceeded my expectations! The nachos had the perfect ratio of toppings to chips, ensuring every bite was loaded with flavor. The Blue Plate was absolutely delicious. The Green Haze cocktail had just the right hint of spice, balancing heat and refreshment beautifully. To top it all off, the banana pudding was the perfect sweet ending to an already amazing meal. Honestly, everything we ordered was spot on. I’ll definitely be back!

Stopped in for lunch and was not disappointed. We ordered too much food but left with take out boxes. The smoked wings were really good, we had both buffalo and bbq flavors and really enjoyed those. Fried pickles were great! The Mac and cheese was delicious, I really enjoyed the cucumber salad and the smash burger was so good, although a bit heavy for me, husband loved it. My son also really enjoyed the coconut lemonade drink! The restaurant is bright and modern, and the service was very attentive and friendly, although the food did take longer than I expected to come out. Overall a great spot for lunch or dinner!

Amazing!!!! Hilarto and Cristian were so sweet. I got the shrimp cocktail and it is one of the best I’ve ever had in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. For how good the food was I was surprised when we were one of three tables in the restaurant. So underrated!!!! Also, super cheap, my appetizer and dessert were only $18! (But we were there during happy hour)

Overrated & overpriced. Small portion sizes. Food was dressed nicely (if you’re looking for aesthetics rather than portion sizes.) Had a wad of blonde hair tangled up in the side of potatoes which grossed us out. The hair was hard to see as it blended in with the potatoes. They took off $8 for that even though I think my food should’ve been comp as we lost our appetite after that. First waitress was friendly and attentive but she was replaced with a friendly, non attentive waitress. I would recommend hair nets for the kitchen staff or preventive measures to deter hair from falling into the food. $8 for 3 deviled eggs … I was expecting 6 eggs at least 😂

OUTSTANDING food! Cool atmosphere, too, with old school rock. If everything isn't brand new, it is so spotless clean that it appears so. We were seated promptly and had fantastic service from Melissa. Food came out super fast even though there were preparations for a huge catering event. I love the special touch of purse holders on the sides of the table. We will absolutely be back!

I ordered take out as it was kind of crowded. I got the salmon with broccoli, bbq smoked wings, and banana pudding. Literally ate everything but the banana pudding in the parking lot. Salmon was cooked great and had good flavor, wings were tender and sauce was good, and banana pudding was different but well balanced with the sugar. The only thing was it took longer than expected to get the food

The service at the restaurant was wonderful—our server was attentive and very friendly. However, the food didn't quite hit the mark for us. The Korean Style Double-Cut Pork Chop was surprisingly spicy, which wasn’t mentioned on the menu, and the pork itself was a bit dry. The mac and cheese, though bland, was more enjoyable than the pork chop. On a positive note, everyone else at our table liked their dishes, which is why the overall rating is higher. The banana pudding was a nice finish, with a good portion size and balanced sweetness, though we wished it had more banana and crust. While it’s a bit of a drive, we might return if we're in the area to try something different—but I would definitely skip the pork chop.
