If you're looking for authentic Texas BBQ in Plano, look no further than Lockhart Smokehouse. The…read morefood is absolutely incredible -- perfectly smoked meat with that deep, rich flavor that only comes from doing it right. This place has serious BBQ credibility and it shows in every bite. But what really put this visit over the top was the service. We arrived close to closing time (our bad!), and not a single person made us feel rushed or unwelcome. The staff was warm, gracious, and genuinely happy to help us while they were cleaning up and winding down for the night. That kind of hospitality is rare and it says everything about the culture of this place. The smokehouse vibe is exactly what you'd hope for -- cool, rustic, and full of character. It just feels like a BBQ joint should feel. Five stars without hesitation. We'll absolutely be back -- and next time we'll make sure to show up a little earlier!

While we waited, they had water available, and once we got closer to the door, they encouraged everyone to sample different meats, which was a nice touch. The men behind the counter were courteous and helpful. The gentleman (who assisted also has family from Chicago) was especially great--and handsome . He took his time explaining the different meats, recommended the best cuts, and even offered us samples to help us decide. The food was outstanding. The meat was so tender it practically melted in your mouth. It was so good that I completely forgot about my sides until I was almost finished! The seating is cafeteria-style, there was plenty of room, the staff was friendly throughout our visit, and the restaurant was very clean. I'd definitely come back!

The sausage and turkey were my favorite! The brisket was really good but I'm not a fan of the crust taste on this particular brisket but the inside meat was great!

The staff was amazing and kept making sure we had what we needed. Great place to come for lunch or bring the family! There is also a nice bar to relax at!

After getting inside I could tell why. The BBQ smell hits you as you open the door and it smelled sooooo good. They had a giant menu written onto the wall. Some of the meats were sold out. We debated for a bit and then decided to do a group order. Our Group of 7 people ordered the Cattleleack Platter and sides of burnt end beans, potato salad, cole slaw, and Mac and cheese. Oh and don't forget to ask for cornbread too. Inside tey had large tables and benches to sit at and we secured our spot. The food was delicous. The Beef Rib was huge and melted in my mouth. The brisket was amazing and seasoned well. Everything tasted great. Everyone ate til they were full and we still had leftovers. I ate them later at night and they were still good. This place is pricey, definitely worth a visit.

The line took over 1.5 hours before I was able to place my order. At the register, I noticed I had been double charged and pointed it out to the cashier. Mistakes happen, especially during busy hours. However, she initially denied it and removed meat from my plate to reweigh it. She later acknowledged the mistake and admitted the error, but not before making an unnecessary scene. The brisket was good, but the overall experience could have been better. 2 stars.

The brisket literally fell apart when you picked it up, the ribs were perfectly tender, and every side--beans, potato salad, mac & cheese--was absolutely delicious. Every single bite hit. It's definitely one of those classic hole-in-the-wall joints: order at the counter, nothing fancy, and the service was a little "meh"... but the food more than made up for it. Safe to say, this will be a must-stop every time we're in town.

We tried to peak through the window and saw someone who was in no hurry to unlock the doors. 2-3 minutes later she unlocked the door and said I'm not quite ready but you can come on in. She walks away and we seat ourselves. The table is very sticky to the touch, so we moved to another table. All the tables were quite sticky. Between feeling like the place was unclean and the lack of hospitality shown to us, we left, and went somewhere else. Too bad! We will never go back, but the breakfast menu looked so great. This is a chain so maybe one in a different city would be OK, but I would NOT recommend anyone go to this location.

The food was good, if not the greatest BBQ I've ever had, but the overall experience was much fun. The restaurant is in the form of a large barn with ample seating and a walk-through line where you can pick out your meat and then any sides and drinks you'd like. I enjoyed having the "conundrum" of trying to figure out which of the meats to try as they stare at you from the smoker, all saying, "Pick me!" My first visit to any BBQ place is nearly always to try the pulled pork, figuring that if they can't get that right, nothing else is likely all that good. That's not always true, but since pulled pork is one of my favorites, it's a good approach anyway. :) I took my platter laden with an abundant amount of pulled pork and then selected corn on the cob, cole slaw, a slice of custard pie, and a sweet tea. After paying, I made my way into the main dining area and selected a high-top wooden table along the wall that was, shall we say, very awkward to sit at based on how the stationary stool was positioned in conjunction with the table, so I moved to a nearby regular table that was just fine. There's plenty of outdoor seating, but based on the temperature that day, I chose to stay inside. Digging in, I found the pulled pork to be good, but it was a little dry and salty. The standard house BBQ sauce was good, though, and the corn on the cob was very nice. The cole slaw was about what you'd expect, and the custard pie was tasty, even if it wasn't the best I'd ever had. The sweet tea was excellent. What I probably loved most, though, was eating all this in that environment, with the Texas-American paraphernalia hanging on the walls and a radio station playing nothing but 80s and 90s country music over the speakers--the years when I loved country the most. I wanted a BBQ experience as big as Texas while I was here, and I got that. For that reason, my visit to Hard Eight was a hit, and I will happily visit again on a future trip.

I ate about 3/4 of the salad without guilt lol. I tried both the prickly pear lemonade and the ginger I think it's a soda with cane sugar. I enjoyed both.

They pick up the trays after. Decent menu selection. Burgers, sandwiches with BBQ meats, BBQ meats on its own etc. They have a good amount of TVs, so might be a lowkey spot to watch a game but won't have the crowds. I've tried a few things here. $4 for sides. I thought the side was small.. Cole slaw was ok. The skinny fries are skinny and a decent portion. Tried the sliced brisket sandwich ($11.79). Didn't have much flavor. I used a bit of the BBQ sauce, but I feel it didn't add much either?? the price for the sandwich is decent though. I liked the burnt ends. I wish there was a place for self serve pickles. BBQ is competitive in Texas, so it's alright.
