This is a fairly new restaurant. It's is extremely clean. The staff were all really nice. We put in our order and went to get our drinks. We had a really short wait and our food was brought out. I had a chopped brisket sandwich. The meat was a little dry and I looked for some bbq sauce. The waitress brought some over. They only had 1 bbq sauce. It wasn't bad but I prefer a sweeter sauce. I think it made in-house which is cool but I would have liked more choices. The sandwich was huge. I couldn't eat it all so brought some home with me. My grandson enjoyed it a lot. I had the pineapple slaw. I did really like that. Overall we liked it. Just a few small things that I would change,

Sliced Brisket

Tender Smokehouse is elite!! Terrific food & service! The vibes are great! And the value in price compared to other top BBQ's (Hutchin's, Hurtodo's, etc) spots is incredible. I was so stoked last year when eating at the Tender Smokehouse in Frisco to find out that my hometown was getting one. It's awesome for the town of Whitesboro, much needed! Hoping it's nothing but success for them!

This is a secret worth sharing. Living in a small town it's often hard to get excited about a restaurant but this is a gem worth sharing. Great atmosphere, food is awesome and the staff was amazing! Give them a shot. My wife and I shared Brisket and smoked turkey and we were not disappointed. We will definitely make the drive again!

Brisket Frito pie

We have been here twice and both times the food and service were great! Nicely remodeled with plenty of outdoor seating and TVs. The Brisket Frito pie is our favorite but have had the Grand Slam sandwich, beans and the smoked chicken which were excellent as well. Can't wait to try the breakfast. Glad to have this option in the Boro.

Great patio

I have to say the two year wait for tenders was very worth it. I've never been to a Tenders before and I find this to be one of the best barbecue briskets I've had and I'm very picky about my brisket. Place is amazingly clean. Staff is friendly. I actually had two options on my sliced beef sandwich. One was moist and one was lean. I've never had options on a bbq sandwich before The moist was really, really good and the lean was good as well. Highly recommend the mac & cheese. Five star on that and the pickles are even awesome thank you Steve for the nice conversation to learn more about tenders. We will definitely be back.

Friendly and accommodating staff, a bit over price, paid $32 for 2 chopped beef sandwiches with no sides.

This was our second time at Hutchins BBQ. First time was great and the brisket and pork ribs I had…read morewere moist and excellent all around. The second time we took the family there the wife and kids got chopped brisket sandwiches which were good. I got the brisket and jalapeno sausage. Sadly, while it had a good char the brisket was dry as heck. Not good for a signature item on the menu.

We were traveling in from Omaha, so we know good BBQ and Hutchins BBQ was honestly some of the best…read moreBBQ 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!

Dropped in this cute place today for a late lunch or early dinner. What a wonderful find!…read more Brisket is excellent and the service wonderful!

Rib End Appetizer, well honestly, most of them were hard and dry and hard to eat. The Salad was the…read morebest thing on the table. The ranch dressing is really good. The Chips were mostly stuck together. Service: well that needs some work. We had to repeat our entire order several times like more than 4 to be accurate. We asked for two plates 3 times so we could share a salad and got these little bitty appetizer plates to mix a salad on. The waitress didn't bring us plates when we asked for them, then she comes and ask us while we are still eating food still on the plate " Can I take away any of your plates"? Seriously? Our order was quite simple. A side salad with extra ranch, rib ends, the queso, and baked potato with extra sour cream, butter, bacon and chopped beef, with two extra plates so we could share the items. We had to repeat that 4 times. The service needs some training! This was my first time there and I probably won't be back! It was not that busy at 6:00 in the afternoon, there was dirty booth when we walked in and it stayed dirty the entire time, we were there and there were several employees walking around. We closed our bill out at 6:30 on 5/20/26 and let me tell you It takes a lot of frustration for me not to tip any good server anything less than 20% this day I did, I just could not justify tipping 20 % or more. I have been on that side I know tips is how they make a living, so it might be very beneficial for their servers to have some training.
