TLDR. Made it to one of the most highly rated BBQ places in DFW and beyond…read more Father's Day, they opened at 11a, I arrived 9:40a & stayed in my car til another fellow arrived at 9:50 & went ahead up to wait at the door. I joined him. They are organized. One entry door is for Dine In, the other door for Take Out. The line def grew, for Dine In the line was already around the corner of the bldg by the time they opened - but a sign said they have seating for about 290, so a lot of ppl can be in there. for Take Out, you walk in & walk straight to the back. There are two cashiers there ready to take orders. After you place your order, you step back and hang out in that general area. You have an order number on your receipt, a staff member will come out of the rear kitchen & call your number when it's ready. The food. I opted to order a variety/sampler type order: 1/2 pound each of prime brisket sliced, pulled pork, jalapeño & cheese sausage, and pork ribs. Also ord'd two Texas Twinkies. Sides ordered were: potato casserole, fried okra, creamed corn, and broccoli salad. Then for dessert, a pint each of peach cobbler and banana pudding. I was first in line for Take Out, I had the order, grabbed bread, & was in the car at 11:08. Nice & efficient. We got set up for the meal where I went, and had a sample of all mentioned. I tried each meat by itself, and then later each one with sauce. The brisket and pork rib meat were smoky, flavorful, moist, and tender. Solid. But the stars of the meat were the jlpño-cheddar sausage & pulled pork. The sausage was cheesy with some kick (duh), but it also was physically more filling & consistency-wise thicker & heartier than any I can recall. The pulled pork had a coating or addition of something in or on it (a little bit of brown sugar, perhaps, that caramelized during cooking, etc?). Whatever it is, it works very well. First two meats mentioned were solid, the latter two were stellar. And then when eaten with the sauce added, they were all fantastic. Elite tier bbq meat. the Tx Twinkies have been around awhile, I've known of them, but had never eaten one til today. (I eat veg 99.9% of the time, & just hop off the wagon for one meal every so often on a special occasion, like today). the Twinkie was decent, I was expecting a different blend of all the flavors together - but that had to do with my forecast of the taste, not Hutchins' assembly or cooking of the product. Their execution was on point - all ingred in their proper place and cooked to a nice crisp. Sides: creamed corn is Dynamite! Broccoli salad very very flavorful! Potato casserole in the A range. The flavor of fried okra was A range, but the breading was inconsistent on 5-10% of the (very large) serving. Liked it for sure, just noted on some minor issues of breading staying on the okra. Desserts. The peach cobbler texture-wise has more of (but not exclusively) a super moist cake feel to it - BUT do not let this dissuade you, the taste is straight-up deliciousness! No, it's not a traditional cobbler consistency, but don't overthink it - try it, you'll be very delighted you did. The banana pudding was standard fare as banana pudding goes. It was on par as any - not superior to any other, but also not less than anyone else's either. Out the door, incl tax, $125. Fed four adults to completely satisfied. Just over $31 per person. Overall, 5 stars, no doubt whatsoever! Wonderful meats, superb sauce which amplifies, flavor of all sides in A or A+ range, friendly staff & efficient operation. Strong recommend.

Yearby's is the greasy spoon hole-in-the-wall you been dreaming of. We arrived Sunday Aug 31 2025 at 11:30 am thinking we'd be late but they moved up the open time at noon. We were maybe 8th in line. Wanted to deduct points for being out of turkey and hot links before they even opened but the food was just too dang good! The brisket is top tier. Have had better, but not by much. Great bark. Perfect tenderness. Adequate smoke. What more do you need? The smoked chicken though, wow wow wow... if you leave without getting some you really did yourself a disservice. The smoked meatloaf was a pleasant treat. It wasn't dry, the glaze was superb, and they gave you a lot of it! The potato salad and mac and cheese weren't spectacular but definitely did the job and anchored down the meal. Everything on platter was 60 bucks. I've spent more for worse. Get to Pilot Point and give em a try!

"An hour's drive for BBQ this good feels like cheating the laws of physics."…read more TL;DR: Yearby's BBQ and Waterice is a brisket-and-elote blessing straight outta the smokehouse heavens, run by Sabrina and CJ who know their way around both a pit and a frozen treat. Friendly folks, flavor-packed plates, and a mango waterice that deserves its own holiday. Twelve out of ten, will burn more gas for this again. An hour on the road is nothing when the horizon promises smoke and good folks. I rolled into Yearby's at 1:30 with an appetite big enough to make a rack of ribs nervous. Turns out, I was late to the party. The earlier crowd had already cleaned house on a few menu items, but brisket and turkey were still calling my name. I grabbed both, plus brisket elote, potato salad, and slaw. Let me tell you, that chopped brisket was tender enough to make a grown man question life choices and the turkey had a peppery kick that played nice with every bite. The elote? A messy, glorious mountain of corn, cotija, sauce, and brisket piled high. It was the kind of side dish that could run for mayor and win in a landslide. Potato salad and slaw backed it up like seasoned pros, no weak links on this plate. The dining room was full but there were still a few open spots waiting for hungry travelers. I snagged one and boxed up half the feast so my wife, the reigning Side Dish Queen of Texas, could hold court over the flavors later. She approved, which in my household is the BBQ equivalent of earning a Michelin star. Banana pudding wasn't on the menu, but the mango waterice saved the day. Cool, tangy, and perfect for a man who just wrestled brisket and elote into submission. I might've looked like a kid on summer break eating that thing, and I didn't care one bit. Sabrina and CJ know how to feed a crowd and treat folks like family. Yearby's is the kind of place that makes you start planning your next visit before you even leave the parking lot. Stamp collected. Only 37 more to go on this Texas Monthly Top 50 trek. If happiness had a flavor, it'd taste like Yearby's chopped brisket with a mango waterice chaser.

We ordered a lot but the food came out relatively quick. We got some Brisket, Turkey Breast, Original and Jalapeño Sausages, with the sides being Fries, Fried Okra, and Mac N Cheese. The brisket was the star of the show, it was so tender, juicy, and falling apart. The Jalapeño sausage was also good, it was better than just the regular sausage. However, all the sides were okay, they weren't that good compared to other smokehouses. The mac n cheese was alright, you need to put on so much BBQ sauce to make it taste better. All of this costed $200+, so pretty average price since we had a big group. Personally, I had better BBQ elsewhere so I would not come back.
