    Sliced brisket and Turkey sandwich
    John C.

    This is a hidden gem!! Called ahead to order the sliced brisket and turkey sandwich with pickles and onions. The brisket and turkey were both very moist and flavorful. Lots of meat on the sandwich and was good for 2 meals. Baby back ribs were very Smokey and flavorful. Great as a snack with the sandwich !! The BBQ sauce is also very good! I love stopping here for great to go BBQ!!

    Amazing flavor !!! Great small business!!! Service is amazing!!! Great outdoor activities, check out Hebron Gardens while you wait, also you can order ahead or at DoorDash ! Brisket is second to none smoked on site ... this place is a true hidden gem!!!

    Half pound Brisket Half pound Ribs Potato Salad

    Will start off by saying you're most likely not going to beat the price for BBQ around this area unless you go to a fast food spot. As always I got the brisket and ribs, and decided to try the potato salad. They made it pretty easy with a simple menu! The ribs were different than what I'm use to. Definitely follow off the phone and great flavor. There wasn't a typical bark that you would see on the ribs, and almost reminded me of the thin layer texture I'd see on a fried pork dish. The brisket didn't have a large bark either, but maintained a good texture and required just a little bit of BBQ sauce. Definitely would recommend coming here if you have a BBQ craving, want some good cut of meats, and at affordable prices.

    The best chopped beef brisket BBQ in Texas, and absolutely loaded with flavorful moist meat. It was so good I had to bring one home for my wife. For a flat $10 you get a huge sandwich, choice of chips, and two Oreo cookies. My daughter had the sliced turkey which was tender and moist also, she loved it! We have been calling and stopping by and finally found out that they are only open Friday's and Saturday's from 11:00 am to 6 pm. We will be brining all our out of state visitors here for real authentic Texas chopped brisket.

    Lean brisket with turkey, cole slaw, and beans

    We were craving some BBQ in the middle of a day of shopping, and 401k popped up in our Google search. We love to try little one-off places since they usually have the best food, and headed down Plano Pkwy to 401k. The turn is easy to miss! We actually had to back up a little to make the turn because we almost went right past. The shack is in the lot of a garden center type business. Parking is open, which was a little confusing but at least there is somewhere to park, right? It was pretty chilly that day, so there was no one else there when we arrived, although 2 other orders were placed while we were there. The menu is very simple, and very reasonably priced. We got brisket (lean), turkey, spicy sausage, and beans, potato salad, and cole slaw. Everything except the turkey was exceptionally good! The brisket was something special, and it was so tender it turned to chopped brisket if you touched it with a fork! The sausage was some of the best we've had as well. Skip the turkey, it had a rubbery texture and very little flavor. It was better after sitting in a pool of bbq sauce in the fridge for a few days, lol. Don't come here in a hurry, cause even though they were not busy it took a good 15 minutes or so before our plates were ready. That wouldn't seem like very long, but it's bbq, so it's already cooked...plus it wasy pretty cold and there is only outside seating. Anyway, I think we've found our new spot whenever we are up by NFM! They have very limited hours, so be aware they are only open on weekends.

    Great food, cool setting at a garden center. I had the rib sandwich which was good but decomposed as they were bone-in ribs.

    Tender brisket. Smokey flavor is not over whelming. Sausage is hit and miss. Salsa and hot sauces are good. Folks are friendly.

    I tried this tiny restaurant about 2 months ago. I was on a quest for a great cubano and I found…read moreit. but even more outstanding were there cuban roles which are absolutely the best. I go once or twice a week just for them. The Service is highly personal with Rita and Sarah. Highly recommend.

    This little hole in the wall tucked into a strip mall is a true hidden gem. It is run by two…read moresisters, Sarah and Rita, with Rita serving as the talented baker of the family. According to Sarah, this one won a Dallas award for best Cuban. - See photo. I have had more than a few Cuban sandwiches in my life, and this one is absolutely top tier. I found the spot on Yelp and we headed over right after a trip to the DMV. We definitely deserved a treat after that. We ordered two sandwiches to split, the shredded beef and the original Cuban. They offer several variations of Cubans..., including one with mortadella that I am already planning to try next time. I will admit, in the review photos the sandwiches might not look pressed or buttered enough. Trust the process. The bread was perfection. I am very particular about grilled sandwiches being truly grilled and fully heated through, and these ladies know exactly what they are doing. The original Cuban was perfectly balanced and a rock solid classic. The shredded beef was - (Meat prep courtesy of Sarah) a delightful surprise, slightly sweet and savory and incredibly flavorful and texture. Just really, really good. We also got a bag of plantain chips, and I respect that those are the only chips they offer. No generic bagged Lays here. Plantain chips or nothin' - I like it!!! There is also a display case full of beautiful baked treats made by Rita. After sandwiches at that level, there was no way we were leaving without dessert. We took three to go: a meringue filled with dulce de leche, which was a total sleeper hit, a guava and cheese pastry, and a dulce Napoleon. Every bite felt special. The inside is authentic and charming, though the tables are a bit tight. I cannot wait to go back.
