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.

The food was good and for the price I think you got your monies worth. I will eat there again when I'm in town again. Service was quick

Absolutely the Best BBQ Around!…read more Hutchins BBQ never disappoints! The brisket is incredibly tender, smoky, and full of flavor, and the ribs are outstanding. The portions are generous, the sides are delicious, and the service is always friendly. You can tell they take pride in their food and make sure every visit is worth it. If you're looking for authentic Texas BBQ, Hutchins is a must-visit. Definitely 5 stars and one of the best BBQ spots around!

This has been my must go to twice a year when I visit a friend in McKinney for quite sometime now…read more What started out as the most amazing barbecue I've ever had has unfortunately come up short the last two times I've been there. Back in March I excitedly went to enjoy my usual brisket sandwich and green beans to find out they changed those to an entirely different recipe. Greasy and over powered with bacon and sweetness ruined what once was the best side they had there. Upon my most recent visit back two weeks ago I was hoping to find that they maybe realized they had made a mistake and went back to the original green beans but unfortunately that was not the case. Still those nasty greasy green beans. Eww! Also, my brisket sandwich this time was a no go. I asked for the lean cut but had to pick it apart to remove all of the fat in it which then made the bun super soggy. I was so disappointed again :( I'm not really sure what changes are being made and why but some things just need to stay the same. If it's not broke, don't try and fix it...
