    We wanted to choose a locally owned restaurant instead of a chain. The cashier was kind and professional. We ordered 2 plates. The meals included drinks, but they didn't have any low sugar options for drinks. No tea. Only water or high sugar options. It was around $35 for 2 people. The restaurant was clean. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. There was a young waiter who was very attentive and kind. He was actually too attentive, checking on us every few minutes. It was a bit annoying, but he had good intentions. Unfortunately, the food just wasn't good. We ordered sliced brisket. What we received was not sliced brisket. We each received a slab of brisket. It was about 50% fat on each of our orders. The little brisket that was there lacked seasoning. The sausage was ok, but also lacked flavor. The collared greens had a nice kick of spice, but they were so incredibly salty that they were hard to eat. The mac & cheese was different. I thought it was OK. My husband did not like it at all.

    This is one of the best barbecue spots in the area! The food does not dissapoint! The meat flavor is so good. Worth trying, you won't regret it.

    Customer service is horrible. I was upcharged for a koolaid drink that's included in my meal and was told no free refills. Fine. But I can't get a regular fountain drink either? What I already originally purchased? I LITERALLY received two free refills from the other lady who works here who is always nice last week. Also the meat was not cooked well, still very hard and not tender. Mac and cheese gummy. I was here just last week and it didn't taste this way. It's been several months prior and never had issues like this.

    I recently moved to the area and was looking for a good BBQ spot. I saw Winners and knew I had to stop by. I've eaten at the Winners in Plano since it opened and I've never had a bad experience. This location was really good, I ordered the 2 meat MVP and the food did not disappoint. The customer service was decent, I noticed some reviews mentioned that the customer service wasn't great but maybe management took whatever measures were necessary to fix the issues. I did not experience poor customer service on my visit and I will definitely be back. The only thing I did not like was that there was not a self service BBQ sauce station like the Plano location has. They included 2 small containers of BBQ sauce in the bag and it just wasn't enough.

    I was so disappointed. Went to an event next door but stopped here to grab a bite. Read the Yelp reviews (well looked at the stars ) Being greedy and seeing others come in also ordering opted for a half slab instead of getting something small to be sure. The outer rib had some seasoning the actual meat no flavor at all. It tasted as if it was boiled or baked and maybe just maybe ran through a toaster oven (sarcasm but to give you a visual) From the picture you can see those ribs hadn't touched an actual grill: $30 worth of dis's appointment And because I was so hungry I was so disappointed. But I let others around me taste it to be sure I wasn't being picky and no one enjoyed it or even wanted my order I was offering at no charge. Maybe I got a bad batch but if this is it I never want it again. Beans taste like out the can (but was ok the reminded me to f beenies and weenies as a child) Potato salad tasted like store bought and someone attempted to doctor it up. It was edible but not made from scratch. I ate the bread as my meal and always bread at BBQ or fish spots for some reason are the softest slices you can get NOT these lol The ladies that worked there were not welcoming just took orders and handed orders. No pleasantries. Location is wonderful and this business can have a lot Of success if they start actually BBQing the BBQ

    Definitely not my favorite barbecue, but it would do. I am not a fan of sugar on barbecue.

    The food is always good and fresh. The 2 meat baked potato with ribs & chopped beef is the best!!!. However, everything is good

During lunch, I ordered the smoked turkey and also sampled the sliced brisket. Both were excellent, and I realized I've been overlooking this spot. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and happy to offer samples before ordering, which I appreciated. The atmosphere is well-suited for enjoying quality barbecue with good company. I look forward to returning to try more items on the menu and would highly recommend giving them a visit.

It's walkable, full of shops, and makes for a really fun area to spend some time before or after eating. But the reason you're here is the BBQ, and it delivers. The brisket was the star for me. Super tender, full of flavor, and exactly what you want from Texas BBQ. The ribs were just as good, fall-off-the-bone and well seasoned. The pulled pork was also really solid. I added BBQ sauce, but honestly it didn't even need it. For sides, definitely get the spicy mac and cheese, baked beans, and potato salad. All of them were great and rounded out the meal perfectly. This is easily a spot I'd come back to next time I'm in Dallas.

My wife and I just had lunch there today. I decided to try the chicken fried steak, smoked jalapeño gravy, pickled chiles, au gratin potatoes and my wife had the brisket stuffed piquillo peppers, bone broth, cotija. First, the $21 chicken fried steak: It was SEVERELY OVERCOOKED or had been under a heat lamp since Bush was President. (No, not THAT Bush, his dad.) The meat was a rock and the breaded crust was hard, shattering when I cut into it, revealing even more disappointment within. The au gratin potatoes had a vague, disconcerting coffee aftertaste I wasn't expecting (and HATED). A golf course restaurant (Raven's Grille) in Euless has a FAR superior chicken fried steak at a MUCH lower price. I can't believe Woodshed Smokehouse is owned by a chef. Seriously. My wife's lunch was three tiny pieces of brisket (again, severely overcooked) wrapped in piquillo peppers. Although relatively inexpensive at $12, it wasn't even worth that. A "smokehouse" that doesn't seem to understand cooking meat. Odd... and not very Texan at all.
