Very good bbq. I tried all of the entrees and dessert. I must say that the beans were one of the most delicious sides I've had. I would recommend this establishment to anybody searching for good barbecue. read more

I've been eating at Spring Creek BBQ for over a decade. But, no more. They have gone down hill big time. I understand beef prices have increased, but the standard brisket plate is now 18.00 and it's terrible. The beef is dry, stringy, and basically tastes old. The sides are now served to you instead of serve yourself, and the staff must have been told to pass out small portions. The green beans were COLD as stone! Totally gross. The corn was barely warm. The mac and cheese is tasteless. I just spend 48.00 in total for two people to have a terrible "meal". I won't be surprised if this does not come flying back out of me in the next hour. In fact I might be thankful to be rid of it. Too bad, I was a fan of Spring Creek but it seems they are ready to join Colter's on the scrap heap of crappy corporate BBQ joint's gone to hell. Wish my toilet good luck as it's about ready to have to work overtime! (Edit 9/22/2021: Based on other poor reviews and response from Spring Creek BBQ, I went ahead and posted a message to them at "springcreekbbqcares.com" at the same time I posted the review above. Did they get back to me? Nope. Not one word. But you can see that they do like to seem responsive to negative reviews by posting their standard response, as they have now done to mine.) read more

I went to the DeSoto location and was humiliated. I'm a 6'6" black man so they can't say they didn't see me. I guess it was white People day because the young lady refused to take my order. I was trying to order something to go. She waited on three GROUP of people and never looked my way. I could have easily made a scene by that's not my style. I will not visit Spring Creek again. read more

Today, me and my family went to Spring Creek Barbeque in Katy, 1093. We went there to go eat, and after we needed a To Go box, so we went there and stood there for a long time and there was people there, but not one paid attention to me and my daughter. Then a white man went straight infront of us and they paid attention to him, but didn't pay attention to me or my daughter. read more

This is your average quality chain restaurant BBQ. It's ok, but nothing special. Sauce is way too sweet.

We went to Spring Creek BBQ to support a fund raising activity for the McKinney's St Michaels Knights of Columbus. Service from SCBBQ staff was good and staff members had an upbeat attitude. Food was plentiful though below expectations for the price we paid. We each got a sandwich plate that included a sandwich of your choice plus two sides though dessert was extra, unlike a local McKinney competitor, and the K of C volunteer servers made sure we had our share of fresh hot buns. read more

Our Knights of Columbus Council 9903 of St Michael the Archangel Catholic Church held our 2nd annual Spirit Knight fundraiser at the McKinney location on Thursday evening, March 9, 2023. The staff was so friendly and accommodating and the food was great, as always. We are already discussing our 2024 schedule. Thank you! read more

Ok I got mixed feelings, I ordered a pound of ribs and 8 rolls. Ribs were spot on good fall off the bone delicious but let me offer some tips , Tip one: if you burns the rolls, throw them away. Tip two: don't sell burnt chard rolls to paying customer. End of Tip........ read more

Spring Creek Barbeque - Burnt rolls - Barbeque Near Me - Richardson, Texas

My family and I have been supporters of Spring Creek for many years, but 3 mismanaged orders in a row has us looking elsewhere for BBQ. The rolls are great, the beans are great, the peach cobbler with Bluebell ice cream is sinful and the staff hustles to get orders out, BUT, the meat is terrible! Three times in a row terrible! First time crusty dried up ribs so hard they had to be thrown away, could have been and off night, no worries, next time we ordered sliced brisket and got at least half fat, granted the fat was sliced, but big chunks of sliced fat should never be in a sliced brisket order. This one we chalked up to new or inexperienced personnel on the meat counter, still... carving brisket should be tops on the list for a Texas BBQ restaurant to get right. We even called and spoke to a manager who promised to make it up by sending a gift certificate that as of 2 weeks has yet to arrive. Finally, 3rd times the charm, brisket so dry and cut WITH THE GRAIN!! Stringy dries up nasty brisket was the last straw. A BBQ joint that can't get the meat right has no place in Texas. Maybe they could change the name to Spring Creek sides and desserts, those they do well with! All orders were to go so we didn't know until back home 15 miles away. read more

I discovered my love for yeast rolls when I was 5 years old thanks to this place. Food: I switch between brisket, sausage, and ribs. Some days brisket and sausage can be sliiightly saltier than usual. Of course, this is not high dining, napkin on your lap, wallet burning prices, so do not expect that type of BBQ. You get pretty good food for a decent price. Their macaroni and cheese is a little bit boring, but it still hits the spot. THE ROLLS. When I say this is the spot that created my yeast rolls addiction, I mean it. Their rolls are the softest and freshest. Mmm.. Environment: It has always had the Southern country yee-haw picnic type of feel. I don't love or hate it. Service: You don't experience a lot of human interaction (thank God) besides when you go down the food line and when the fresh rolls basket person comes around. read more

Such a total disappointment! For the second time in a little over a month and a half! Spent $41 on a to go order three meat combo for 1995 and extra ribs not even a pound for 1795. All the ribs were dried out with no flavor again. And the three meat combo portions were so tiny it was ridiculous! I used to love going to this place., but it looks like it's time to look for somewhere else to go can't believe I spent this much money, and disappointing this much! This was at the Richardson location off of Highway 75 in Richardson! Going downhill fast! read more

Too many problems. Food not delivered correctly. People in the kitchen were throwing pots and pans-- very loud!! Greasy fried okra. Sonny Bryan's or the place next door is better read more

Spring Creek Barbeque has one of DFW's best BBQ. Every Sunday night, my family and I always arrive to this chain, which has a sweet and smoky aroma that surrounds you the minute you walk through the doors. Their ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender, succulent, and, if you request it, are slathered in this deliciously tangy and smoky barbecue sauce that becomes addictive. The brisket is fabulous and practically melts in your mouth, leaving you yearning for more. Another great feature about this place is the unlimited sides, which include baked beans, green beans, macaroni and cheese, corn on the cob, coleslaw, potato salad, and more. If you've never had Texas barbecue before, this would be one of the places I highly recommend! read more

RIBS!! BRISKET. sausage. chicken. pulled pork? This place is a staple every time I visit home. The last time I visited, you could tell them how you like your brisket (fatty/lean, charred/not) which was a huge upgrade from before! I always get the ribs & brisket combo with the BBQ sauce at the serving station (which is different than the one you can scoop yourself), place the bread off the plate on the tray, and load up on the sides! I'm not usually a beans person, but their green beans with pork pieces, and baked beans are soooo good. I can never finish all the meat, but usually there are others who are happy to have it. The hot fresh rolls they continuously pass around the restaurant are amazing! And they also have fried okra, my absolute fav! read more

Spring Creek Barbeque - ALL THOSE SIDESSS - Barbeque Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Two words. HOT BUNS. Even though it's called Spring Creek BARBEQUE, it really should be called Spring Creek Delicious Hot Rolls Fresh Out of the Oven because that was the best part of my meal. Besides the fluffy, warm rolls, the brisket/ribs that I tried were decent. The ribs were better than the brisket. Sides are average, but it's all you can eat. Plus, they often have coupons so you not only get generous portions, but you get generous portions at a GREAT price. read more

I don't know, I am not a Texan and have had brisket and tri-tips everywhere else. My first Texas barbecue experience was rather disappointing though. The set up seems okay, it was cafeteria style with a carver at the first station. Brisket! Yes brisket, it was dry and pretty bland, what little there was of it. I didn't get a lot of it, not that it was that good. They let you choose your own sides at a side bar but the mac and cheese was really chewy and flavorless. I remember sitting there and the rest of the large group that I was sitting with was pretty underwhelmed by it too. My first Texas BBQ experience and I was sad to find it was a little disappointing. read more

The ribs were all bones. Will not be back. The line was to slow, check out person didn't know their job

I had not been here in several years, but was totally craving a nice fatty piece of brisket. I ordered the brisket sandwich and potato. Good grief.... had no idea the potato was going to be that big, are totally loaded with bacon, sour cream, mountains of melted cheese...and more! the brisket sandwich with outstanding! I loved how they took my special request for a succulent serving of fatty beef on the sandwich! No scales... it was a mountain out beef! I also loved the fresh rolls! read more

I was under the impression this was an all you can eat...but I was wrong? You basically pick your meat and pile on as much sides as the plate will allow. We ordered two rib dinners and a child's mea w brisket. Added sausage to the side. Had a side and two kids drink and a BOGO deal so it ended up being roughly $25 total. The RIBS was good. Not OMG best thing I ever had good, but on par with Dickey's and other chain joints. The ribs were meaty and you can get the sauce on the side. Brisket was ok. Sausage was good, same kind you get at any supermarket really. There were plenty of sides to pick from. We got the corn, potato salad, Mac and cheese and cold slaw. They were pretty tasty! Overall, it's a nice place to go without breaking the bank! I love that guy can pile on as much as your plate allows. I plan to come back here again! I love that it's casual and low key! read more

I love going there to exhaust the locals BOGO voucher. However the ribs is a hit or miss. This time they were a bit dry and hard; but that's ok. My wife and I ate a lot of the sides which included green beans, corn, macaroni and cheese, potato salad, and Cole slaw. Those things alone and the "fresh bread" is worth going for with a coupon. read more

I'm from the Galveston area and happened to be in the Katy area. I stopped in and was greeted with a friendly smile. I ordered my food to go and was offered a complimentary drink while I wait. The girl behind the counter was pretty busy but took the time to even get the drink for me. I was offered fresh warm bread while I waited also. I waited only a few minutes and when my food was ready the gentleman opened each container to confirm my order was correct. The gentleman noticed the ribs I received were pretty skinny and went to put more on my plate. Who does that? I had the most amazing customer service experience at this west park location in Katy and will definitely be back!! The staff went over and beyond what was expected!! read more

If Gluttony had a home, it would be Spring Creek BBQ. In fact, he probably lives upstairs. And at Spring Creek BBQ, no one is judging! I looove ribs, and rarely order them, so I splurged and was not disappointed. At first I thought the guy serving them didn't give me enough (because I'm a thin girl?) but at the end of the meal, it was the perfect amount. The sauce on top is delicious, so don't skimp! One of my favorite parts is that it is a one-shot buffet style: you pay for your entree and fit as much "vegetables" on your plate as you can (or would like to, but I took it as a challenge). The "vegetables" are mainly green beans, cole slaw, and mac n cheese... don't fool yourself into thinking this is healthy, but at least there are options! I got mac n cheese and green beans and they were perfect. I'm 95% sure the green beans were cooked with bacon, so you understand my lust. I tried my boyfriend's brisket, which was yummy, too. He had no complaints, just a little jealousy: "I should've ordered the ribs, too." And to top it off, employees walk around with hot fresh buns in a basket. They taste like the perfect mixture of butter and heaven. The only downside I experienced was that the bathroom was about 20 degrees colder than the rest of the restaurant. When I get a hankering for good ol' Texas BBQ again, I'll be back. read more

Spring Creek Barbeque - all-you-can-fit style with ribs, mac n cheese, and green beans. yum! - Barbeque Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I have such a soft spot for Spring Creek BBQ. I used to (and still sometimes do) come here all the time with my family growing up, before chain restaurants were deemed uncool and unpopular, haha. Honestly, their brisket CAN be comparable to many of the restaurants you would have to wait hours just for some barbeque, but that's not the case here. Half of my brisket was very dry, AND compared to other locations I've been to, they really skimp on the meat portions. The bread is delicious, and the sides in the buffet line are comparable. But just for the meat quality and quantity I can get else, I'd rather visit the Frisco location. read more

Came for lunch with some coworkers, got the lunch special plate with brisket. Enjoyed it very much, the meat wasn't too dry and had good flavor. Also loved that they let me go back for extra sides (beans were okay, but the potato salad was excellent). It was so much food that I couldn't finish and saved half my meal for dinner, so I had enough room for the peach cobbler and cream for dessert, which was an excellent decision. Crazy good; will definitely get it the next time I come back. Service was excellent, dirty plates bussed away quickly, and the lady came around with the roll basket multiple times! read more

This is the second time that I've been to this place. I really like the ribs here. The meat comes off the bone and melts in your mouth. But, it does depend if you get a good rack of rib because my boyfriend didn't get a good one today so it wasn't as tender and melts in his mouth. I didn't like their brisket. I felt like it was too dry. I would stick to the ribs. There are unlimited sides (they are pretty good as well) and drinks. The slice of pie is not included! Some of us gotten slices of pie without reloading that they were charged with it until later on. Overall it's a good place to go for bbq. Great service and fresh bread! You also get to take it to go if you can't finish everything. read more

Pretty good for the prices here. Love the rolls and the BBQ Sauce! The chicken literally melts in your mouth. I tried the brisket before and honestly, I would say it's a 3 stars place as far as the brisket. I mean you get what you pay for of course. One sad thing tho, you have to pay extra for the ice cream. I thought it would come with the entree but nope. read more

I apologize but this review is from March 5, 2012. Sausage was awesome, I love sausage and this stuff was near the top Ribs were meaty and smoked the way I like them. The Brisket was not disappointing, very good. Sides of Potato salad and beans were on mark. Very good. My favorite item here was the banana pudding. One of the best I've had. Oh yeah, I also remember the bread. Fresh... very good. I've eaten here three times. Being from NC I do not get this way often. Next time I visit I'll be sure to give a better review. However, I do recommend this place. read more

This is my favorite spot for lunch! Nothing better than a $10 BBQ lunch special with all you can eat sides. It's simple, fast and easy. Great for groups. You sit and serve yourself. Once you get to the place you do the line, you choose from any of the following: ribs, brisket, chicken, ham, sausage, or pulled pork. And then you slide down the side bar where you can get Mac and cheese, potato salad, beans, corn, green beans, and more! Oh and the bread! Sooooo good. They do rounds and bring you freshly baked bread to the table. I have never had a complaint about this place. Their BBQ lunch special is perfect! read more

Spring Creek Barbeque - BBQ Lunch Special $10 - Ribs with Mac and Cheese, Corn, Beans, and Bread on the side - Barbeque Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Maybe this place had a few things going against it when I came here for lunch - my first foray into the great state of Texas. First of all, I was meeting most of my colleagues here for the first time, including the big boss. So, I could have been a little nervous and therefore not really focusing on the food. Second, we arrive around noontime or so. With the time change from the West Coast to Central time, it was like I was eating a decently heavy meal at 10am. So, that being said, I might have been impressed on another day, but it certainly wasn't the day I went. It was basic BBQ stuff, I had myself a tri tip sandwich, and I've had better. The meat was a bit tough, the sauce was not to my liking, and the bun didn't seem very fresh. The baked potato was excellent - loaded up with lots of fixin's (sour cream, chives, bacon, and cheese), and was the highlight of my meal. Maybe I should have saved room for dessert, which looked quite good. I guess that next time I am in town I will give this place another try. But for now, the taste it left in my mouth wasn't quite the Texas BBQ I had envisioned. read more

It's been way too long! Still my favorite bbq! Whenever I'm in Texas, we come here! Great value & great food!! My favorite is still the rib platter with all the sides you can fit on your plate!you can go back and get more if you like! And you can forget the pipping hot fresh rolls!! Soo yummy!!! May stop for some take out on our way out of town since we don't visit as much now from Cali! Friendly service! Must try!! read more

I've visited once a week for years and enjoy the fresh bread more than anything. Lately, they've been stingy with serving extra and only serve fake butter. Even when asked for bread, it takes forever to get any. Quality has gone down. Modern country music is loud and annoying. I unfortunately, I'm going to turn to their competition and leave them. Granbury will suffer because of their changes. read more

As much as I enjoy thier food I am very disappointed to see employees pulling masks up and down...standing in close groups not utilizing social distancing. How can you expect patrons to wear thier masks if the employees will not? read more

I drove into the curbside parking area and called the number listed on the marker. Waited 20 minutes and called again to see how much longer the order was going to take. I ordered 1/2 pound each of baby back, Pork ribs, mild sausage and 6 rolls. The girl repeated my order. I paid with my credit card over the phone. I should have asked why the bill was $40 When I got home the rolls were extreme dark and dried out. Just shy of burned. Their rolls are usually beautifully done and pillowy soft! These were nothing like that! Unacceptable! I think they threw these in my bag to get rid of a bad batch. I got and paid for 1 pound of baby back and they were also dried out. I guess they don't have a manager or expeditor. The sausage was yummy however. Not a good experience! Wont be back! It was before 5:00 so maybe these were left over from lunch read more

I love this place. Theres not a lot not to like about this place in my opinion. First off, the bread here is AMAZING. Piping hot and fresh, with a nice slab of butter on the side, I could literally just come here and straight up eat nothing but bread. The sides are very average but you can go back and pile up your plate again with all you can eat sides. The meat: the sausage (black pepper) is some of the best I've ever had. The ribs are pretty good too, though I often wonder why they only give me a small amount of their "special" BBQ sauce with the ribs. The sweet tea here is also probably the best I've ever had. Oh yea and it helps to have a buy one get one free coupon too! read more

Spring Creek has let us down. My husband ordered-to-go 2 pounds of chopped beef. Got home and it was a quart plastic container 3/4 full of soupy meat - lots of sauce and less meat. Two pounds cost $50. I'd be surprised if the container weighed 2 pounds but it was a large percentage sauce. There was sauce on the side as well. I sometimes get chopped beef from another restaurant near my home and their 2 pounds fills a gallon ziplock and is $10 cheaper. It's all meat - I add sauce to my liking that's provided on the side. I regret that I won't be back because of this. It was a very expensive lesson as to which restaurant to use from now on. We can usually eat off of $40 all week from the other place but this looks like 2 soggy sandwiches worth. Argh! It kills me to waste so much money. read more
