We went on a Saturday night, and the place was packed, buzzing, and full of energy. When we walked…read morein, we were told the wait would be about 40-50 minutes, but once we were seated, it didn't take long at all for our orders to be taken. Our drinks and appetizers came out in a reasonable amount of time, which we appreciated. The mango margarita was a great choice along with the crispy , well seasoned fried pickles . I absolutely loved the bread with cinnamon butter they brought out while we waited for our meals. My husband ordered the Road Kill and really enjoyed it; he said the meat was juicy, well-seasoned, and topped perfectly with sautéed mushrooms, cheese, and onions. My son went with the country-fried sirloin steak and said he liked it, though he didn't finish because he filled up on too much bread beforehand. I ordered the Steakhouse Filet Salad. It was okay, but the filet had a slightly different flavor that was hard to describe and just wasn't my thing. Overall, aside from the initial wait (which we expected and were prepared for), everything moved along smoothly once we were seated, and we were out at a good time. We'd definitely come back again.

I want to start by saying I genuinely love HEB, it's our favorite grocery chain, so much so I will…read moredrive 45min to go to the McKinney HEB. Most locations deliver on that reputation. The Melissa location, unfortunately, is a real disappointment and doesn't reflect the standard HEB has set elsewhere. The store frequently feels like it's operating in a state of disarray. Shelves are often bare, items are regularly out of stock, and the overall organization leaves a lot to be desired. More frustrating, the product quality has been consistently questionable. We've picked up cheese that turned out to be molded and tortillas that were stale, almost as if they'd been reheated and restocked rather than rotated properly. Produce tends to be overripe or outright unusable. These aren't one-time flukes. It seems like it's a pattern. The staff experience is also a notable departure from what you expect at HEB. Employees frequently seem frustrated, and the warm, helpful vibe that defines most HEB locations is largely absent here. The online order pickers are a particular issue. Their large carts are routinely parked across aisles while employees chat, making navigation difficult. Politely asking them to move is not well received. I understand they have a job to do, and I respect that, but at every other HEB location I've visited, it simply isn't a problem. The cashiers are flat out grumpy. They will fling your items across the scanner and down to the bagger, and the customer frequently has to bag their own groceries. Which I don't mind normally but they could be a little nicer about it. We also attended the crawfish boil event on the first Sunday it launched, we got there about an hour in, and it was a mess!! They were already nearly out of supplies, staff had no answers about whether more food would be prepared, and one employee admitted live crawfish were sitting on a pallet somewhere but he had no idea what was happening with them. We ended up driving to the McKinney location instead, which was well worth the extra miles. I hope HEB management takes a closer look at this location. The potential is there, it just isn't being realized. Until things improve, we'll be making the drive to McKinney. 2 stars because I love HEB and everything they do for Texas but just not this location.

Everyone who works here is always so helpful. The covered patio's wooden picnic tables are always the seats to go first. You order at the bar and they give you a number if you're dining in. There's a fantastic general store inside that sells their own pickled veggies and meats. There's also some nice bottled sodas too. We've only been for lunch. The dinner rush is supposed to be their busiest. It makes sense since they have live music in the evening. Match that up with the beer, string lights, and spring/summer nights for a perfect dinner. We'll have to be back to try it sometime! I have to admit - I've had many sandwiches in my life and what really made this was the ciabatta. I'm not a big fan of the bread because it's either too dense or there's too much of it and I'm eating 95% bread and 5% sandwich filling. The Texas wagyu steak sandwich was probably one of the best steak sandwiches I've ever had.

**BOGO COUPON IS A JOKE**…read more It had been YEARS since we last ate at Spring Creek BBQ, swore we'd never go back, but a BOGO rib deal encouraged us to try them again. The coupon was clearly made to boost those slow nights (valid only Sunday through Thursday). No problem, we went on a Tuesday night. The ribs were room-temperature, the sides tasted like they had been there since lunch, and the beans were not cooked (firm in the middle). We also remembered those hot, fresh yummy rolls they're known for, but apparently those are only served over the weekend because they were nowhere to be found on an off night. If this promo was supposed to bring in new customers and convince them to come back, it did the exact opposite. Great idea in theory... terrible execution, again.

We come here so infrequently. However, the BBQ is pretty good…read more It's a mix of all the bbq joints in the area. (Rudy's and Dickey's). It's hard to judge, since I like the sauce here sometimes better than any of the other restaurants. The sliced beef is not bad and I always prefer the lean sliced beef to ones that have the fat on it. The sides are better prepared at other BBQ restaurants. The beans are good here. But the corn is much better at another'. Same with the coleslaw. The rolls are super good! Lots of butter. They also come around and offer fresh rolls to those dining in. The sausage is better at another bbq joint than this one. We didn't like the pepper flavored sausage. The original is much better tasting personally. Depends on your mood. I'd return. It was expensive. But what place isn't when you go out to eat? The service is cafeteria style, except they serve you. Just tell them what you want. There are plenty of tables or booths to sit at. It's your choice. July 2024

I went to Hutchins BBQ thinking I'd grab a quick bite…read more What actually happened felt... intimate. The pork ribs arrived first--glistening, smoky, practically begging for attention. One touch, and they gave in completely. No resistance. Just tender, juicy surrender. I leaned in, and suddenly it was just me and those ribs, no distractions, no dignity left. The kind of experience where you stop caring who's watching. Then the mac and cheese. Soft. Creamy. Rich in a way that feels almost too indulgent. It coats everything slowly, deliberately... like it knows exactly how to linger. Each bite deeper than the last. I didn't rush it. You don't rush something like that. The green beans surprised me. They had bite. Confidence. A little snap that kept things interesting--like a playful contrast to everything else melting around me. Not innocent. Not at all. And then... the tangy pork sauce. Sweet, smoky, just enough sharpness to make you react. I dipped once. Then again. Then I stopped pretending I had any self-control. It clung to everything in the best way--bold, unapologetic, unforgettable. By the time I thought I was completely undone... they handed me free banana pudding. Cool. Smooth. Soft in all the right ways. A gentle finish after everything that came before. I slowed down. Let it linger. Didn't want it to end. I left full... flushed... slightly overwhelmed. Hutchins isn't just BBQ. It's an experience you feel in your whole body.

Get in your car and start driving. You might want to call first to make sure he's open. He tends to close up shop when he runs out of BBQ to sell. He smokes everything himself and makes his own sauce. The pulled pork and the brisket are both just melt in your mouth tender. The sauce is right balance acid, sweet, and heat and will make you want to lick the wrapper on your sandwich. All the sides are from scratch and are usually made by his wife. I highly recommend the coleslaw. And now they even take credit cards. Just absolutely delightful.
