    OH MY GOSH my favorite place on earth! I love the free dessert, amazing bbq, and the best vibe ever. Everyone I go to Texas I now have to get this food! Everyone is also very helpful if it's your first time!

    Beef rib, pork ribs, sausage

    Hutchins is among the best BBQ places I've been in the US. Starts cafeteria style like many do. Lots of freebies if you dine in. I murdered some peach cobbler after I had too much to eat to prove it. Tried the beef and pork ribs and a smoked sausage. My only regret was trying to eat it all. Beef rib was one of the best I've had. Not typically a first choice but the brisket sold out a few people ahead of me. Was delicious and glad I tried it. Pork ribs were just wonderful. All dry rub, no sauce required. But think they had it. Sausage was a quiet star of the show. Would love to have more right now as I type this a 1,000 miles away. Service was friendly at the counter and lots of people floating around cleaning and offering more food and water were great too.

    This chopped barbecue beef sandwich was amazing. The barbecued baked beans, Mac & cheese and french fries were also great. The unlimited (dine-in only) banana pudding, peach cobbler and ice cream dessert choices were also fantastic (so much so that a picture was not obtained as it was eaten up quickly!) This is a walk through the line to order setup and very friendly staff. The decor was definitely rustic like a place built in the 50's or 60's and maintained well. I highly recommend giving Hutchins BBQ a try. You won't regret it!

    We have been here a few times, one of our favorite bbq spots! Can't come to Hutchins without ordering their Texas Twinkie! Their beef ribs are amazing and I love their brisket sandwiches! They have amazing sides like their Mac and cheese and potato casserole, jalapeños and brisket beans! They have complimentary banana pudding, peach cobbler and soft serve which our kiddos go crazy for! Very large portions, we ordered their family pack for 5 adults and 5 kiddos and it was plenty, we even had left overs. Will definitely be back!

    In a state overflowing with elite barbecue, I'd heard so much hype about Hutchins BBQ that it immediately became a must-try. Walking in, the first thing you notice is the crowd. You order first, then join everyone else in the hunt for a table. This place was absolutely PACKED. Fortunately, the line moved quickly, the staff kept things efficient, and we managed to snag a table inside. Now for the sticker shock. Expensive is an understatement. Our order included: * 1 Beef rib: $63.40 * 1/4 lb brisket: $10.40 * Cheddar jalapeño sausage: $9.60 * 1/4 Turkey slice: $7.44 * 1/4 lb pulled pork: $7.80 The prices definitely made me pause, but thankfully the food mostly delivered. The beef rib was outstanding--juicy, incredibly tender, with a beautiful bark and excellent seasoning. It was everything you'd hope for from Texas barbecue. The cheddar jalapeño sausage was one of the best I've ever had. Every bite was packed with melted cheddar and jalapeño, perfectly seasoned with an incredible snap. I'd order it again without hesitation. The pulled pork also exceeded my expectations. Oddly enough, it was served cold, but even so it was juicy, flavorful, and smoked nearly to perfection. Unfortunately, the brisket didn't live up to the reputation. It wasn't bad by any means, but in a state where brisket is king, this one was simply average. Likewise, the turkey was just okay, both were borderline dry and lacking the smoky flavor that separates good barbecue from great barbecue. The sides were solid. The mac and cheese was rich and cheesy without being particularly memorable. The green beans were surprisingly good, with a subtle sweetness that made them more interesting than your typical barbecue side. Then came one of Hutchins' best touches: complimentary banana pudding, peach cobbler, and soft-serve ice cream. The peach cobbler was phenomenal, honestly the best restaurant peach cobbler I've ever had. It arrived hot with a crisp, crunchy topping and a soft, fluffy interior bursting with peach flavor. Add a scoop of the complimentary vanilla soft serve, and it becomes an outstanding dessert. The banana pudding also exceeded my expectations. For a restaurant serving it complimentary, it's about as good as you could ask for, creamy, balanced, and incredibly satisfying. Overall, Hutchins absolutely earns its reputation as one of the better barbecue joints in Texas. While the brisket and turkey kept it from reaching that truly unforgettable, five-star level, the beef rib, sausage, pulled pork, and complimentary desserts made for a meal that's well worth experiencing at least once. If you're in the McKinney area, it's an easy recommendation just be prepared for the crowds and the prices.

    Definitely worth the high ratings! I finally made my way here with my parents and sister on a Saturday around 1PM. The line was long as expected but it moved quickly. I wish I'd gotten the name of the gentlemen who was giving out samples by the bbq pits, he was super friendly, made some recommendations when he learned it was our first time and gave us nice sized samples of the regular and jalapeño cheddar sausage and the dino beef rib which was amazing by the way. Once inside, I ordered a chopped brisket sandwich, a texas twinkle, 1 hot link, mac and cheese and green beans. Chopped brisket sandwich: Nicely sized, packed with meat and delicious! The meat was tender, flavorful, no gristle or weird pieces throughout, highly recommended! Texas Twinkie: Succulent! Nothing else needs to be said, it was amazing. Hot link: Small but good flavor and had a nice kick of heat. Green beans were a little harder than i preferred but they had good flavor. Mac and cheese was really creamy, needed more flavor though. Ended the meal with a sample of the peach cobbler and banana pudding. The peach cobbler was ok but the banana pudding was pretty tasty and the chocolate cone was simple but good. Shout out to Paula who was working our area, she was so friendly and accommodating. Great experience, great food, definitely chaotic inside but I can't wait to return!

    $96 family pack feeds 4-6 people. June 2026

    First time at the McKinney location. I've been to the Frisco one and definitely one of my favorites.. The parking lot isn't that big but there is some street parking behind. Came around World Cup time... Weeknight 1 hour before closing and they ran of brisket. I was shocked!! So sad. There was a decent line too. It was busy! Got the family pack that feeds 4-6 for $96. This includes 2 lbs of meats and 3 sides. There is a footnote about limit of 1 lb of brisket and if you do 2 lbs of brisket then it's an extra charge. Got pulled pork, pork ribs, jalapeno cheddar sausage. Sides: broccoli slaw, jalapeno beans, mac and cheese. The sausage is not spicy and has good flavor. Favorite was the broccoli slaw. My problem with the meat was that it was very salty. I woke up in the middle of the night and was so thirsty. The beans were crazy salty too when I re heated left overs. The footnote is that I don't like not super salty taste in my food.. For 4 people this was a good serving but 2 of the people didn't eat that much to be fair... The plus side is self serve pickles, pickled onions, onions. And obviously the dessert with the banana pudding, soft serve, peach cobbler. The staff were good though and doing their best to keep it moving. They actually bus the table for you when you're done?? I think this is new.. but you could bus your own too. I would still recommend Hutchins to people but maybe try the Frisco location?? or idk if this was an off day. Obviously the brisket is the star too.

    This was a very good stop for good BBQ! The brisket was juicy, the sides had major flavor. The star of the show was the Texas Twinkie!!! A brisket cream cheese filled jalapeño wrapped in bacon Definitely a must if you need BBQ and are in the area!

    This place was actually recommended to us by a friend who had eaten here before, and I have to agree, it did not disappoint. It's called Hutchins Barbecue, and I'd say it's a must-visit if you're in the area! It's one of those spots where you order first and then go find a seat. There was a bit of a line when we got there, but it moved pretty quickly. It probably would've been even faster if we had known exactly what we wanted, but since it was our first time and we were a group, it took us a minute to decide. Also, the place was packed but it wasn't hard to find a table since there's plenty of seating. We got a family pack so we could try a little bit of everything.. brisket, pulled pork, mac and cheese, and potato casserole, and honestly every single bite was so good. I also got a Texas Twinkie, which is their version of a jalapeño popper, and that was amazing. Super smoky and so flavorful. I don't think I've ever had barbecue this good before! Also, bonus point, dessert is free if you dine in. They had banana pudding, peach cobbler, and soft serve ice cream. That might have been one of my favorite parts, not going to lie!

    In my opinion, this is the best barbecue place in Dallas, Texas. The service is generally pretty quick and everything on the menu is very good tasting. Yes some of them meat can be expensive and it adds up quickly, but definitely worth the price. I personally prefer this location over Frisco because it is always less crowded. Definitely worth a drive if you were in DFW area

    We were traveling in from Omaha, so we know good BBQ and Hutchins BBQ was honestly some of the best BBQ we have ever eaten. Everything was incredibly flavorful, perfectly cooked, and lived up to all the hype. The ribs were literally falling off the bone, and the brisket was so tender and full of flavor. The mac and cheese was out of this world, and the cream corn was also incredible. Every single thing we tried was delicious. Even with a line, it moved really quickly, and the whole experience was efficient and well organized. It was popping in there! Very good vibes. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful! The food was also very fairly priced for the quality and portions you get. One of the best surprises was that dessert is free if you dine in, which was such a nice bonus and the perfect way to end an amazing meal. I had the peach cobbler with ice cream for dessert and it was so good that I went back for seconds. If you're anywhere near the area and love BBQ, this place is a must-visit!

    Cheddar jalapeño sausage, Texas Twinkie, and brisket. From the Hutchins red light district.

    Incredibly consistent quality, and I have searched far and wide across Texas and have found nothing better than this brisket. Others compare, but nothing exceeds this quality, tenderness, and flavor. And the Texas Twinkie is unmatched. No one else can touch that.

    Texas Twinkie
    Jada s.

    We went and spent $70 and all the meats were definitely worth it not so much for the sides I wasn't the biggest fan but the meat makes up for it. The brisket was juicy and tender and the Texas Twinkie was 10/10! Ribs were good I just prefer a meaty rib. The service was so nice it was our first time so they let us sample the briskets an everyone was very nice and welcoming and if you sit inside they have free dessert and the people waiting the tables are the nicest! I'd definitely come back maybe just for meat and try some different sides.

    Ask the Community - Hutchins BBQ

    Is it BYOB?

    No alcohol is served. I don't know if they allow carry-ins. I did not see anyone with outside beverages during my visit.

    Does the restaurant serve alcohol?

    No alcohol is served

    Is the passage pork or beef or both?

    Both

    Is your sliced brisket available "juicey?"

    I think so. I always ask for lean so I would assume you could ask for juicy.

    What days do they have beef ribs?

    They used to just have them on Friday and Saturday, but I believe they may have decided to offer them all week long. They're amazing!

    Do they still have the all-u-can-eat option? Asking for a hungry friend.

    No. An old signage of that is viewable as decor only.

    Do you take reservations?

    No - they are walk up to the counter and order style and it is open seating.

    Any update on the McKinney location reopening?

    It is open, and as good as ever!

    Do they do online gift cards?

    Yes, https://hutchinsbbq.com

    Thinking about hosting a rehearsal dinner. Is it possible to do it here at Hutchins, and if so, do they have a private dining area?

    Consider having them cater but they are much too busy for your rehearsal dinner, not that they couldnt handle it, it just probably would not be as private as you would like. Amazing food tho!

    What is the best time to go on weekends (shortest lines)? UPDATE: Thanks for sharing your experiences. I did go once at 4pm and once at 7:15PM and both times the lines are…

    I went at 11:00 am in a Saturday to beat the crowd.

    Do they sell out of anything?

    Short answer, yes they do! Last time I was in, it was around 7 PM on a Sunday evening and one of… 

    Don't they offer free water if you prefer that to soda?

    Free water is available. They have small cups and water dispensed from soda fountain.

    Traveling alone, OK for singles?

    Yes. Lots of people and the parking lot is well lit. If your alone no one can judge you on how much… 

    What is seating like?

The biggest issue for us was the ordering system. Everyone has to scan a QR code, place their own order, and enter their phone number. For a large group, this became very confusing because when the food came out, there was no clear way to tell who ordered what. We spent a lot of time trying to figure out which dishes belonged to each person. If you're coming with a big party, I definitely recommend making a list of everyone's orders ahead of time so it's easier to organize when the food arrives. The food itself was extremely spicy. Most of the BBQ items -- seafood, chicken, beef, and pork -- seemed to have the same heavy cumin and spicy seasoning, so the flavors started tasting very similar. Personally, that wasn't for us. However, the soy sauce fried rice and the cold noodles were really good and stood out the most from the meal. The service was good overall, although communication was a little difficult at times because it was hard to understand the staff's accents. The restaurant itself was clean and well kept. I think this place may work much better for smaller groups, but for our large party it was stressful and the food flavors were too repetitive for our taste. Unfortunately, it's probably not somewhere we would return to. Also they added 25% tip mandatory without mentioning it anywhere ; It was an experience though

Still, if we had not been getting carryout, it seemed like a pleasant place to sit down and eat, too. This is order at the counter service, and they were happy to explain things to this non-native. Everything was carefully packed to maintain temperature and avoid spills. I enjoyed the brisket with spicy sauce, though I have since heard some people really prefer the moist type, I think dry was right for me. I got a side of coleslaw so I could get my veggies in; it had a creamy yet not too heavy dressing. The stuffed potato was tasty, especially with all the recommended toppings, but it was the size of a small football! I had to put half of it in the fridge.

My favorite part of the whole experience was the sausage (how do you mess that up?) and the potato salad. I think I'm just finding that it's better to smoke your own meats at home. Half the price and 100x better. Service also wasn't the best. Lady at the register was dead inside. I could tell this was the last place she wanted to be today. Side note: waving your hand in the air to call my attention when I am not looking your direction is no way of letting a line of people know you are ready to take their order. "Next guest, please!" goes a long way. Possibly why she was so irritated when I finally got to the counter.
