Did a too good to go order - no this isn't sponsored! But it was a surprise meal of 1 meat and 2 random sides. It was a little difficult to find but when I walked in it was empty. But there's plenty of seating for small or large parties. Tonight must've been a slow night because after this review, I'm going back! Meat chicken quarter 8/10: nice flavor, cooked perfectly. The bbq sauce was decent too. Sweet potatoes 9/10: these were some of the best sweet potatoes I've ever had. If they made this a pie, I'd buy one every week! Flavor was on point, not too sweet or overly cooked. Greens 7/10: these had good flavor too. My only gripe is I wish they had less stems but I'd get these again too. I did doctor them up when I got home but that was just a preference not a must. Looking forward to trying the bbq next time. read more

Winners Smokehouse - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

When they 1st came to Cedar Hill, they literally lived up to the name, WINNERS!!! I was visiting the location twice a week, TWICE A WEEK!! Lately they slowly fell off in consistency. You may or may not have a good food experience. Yesterday, I did not. These ribs are DRY and HARD!! Bake potato use to be my go to. Today I just wanted my money back. I just want them to go back to whatever the magic was before and be consistent with it. Definitely wasn't an $18 plate today but if you go tomorrow (consistency is a must!!) read more

Been driving by here for years and never knew there was one here. But it's hidden in the back. The other one like way cross town. 45 mins away. Just so happen to be next door for another establishment and came in. Anytime is always a good time for BBQ. read more

Winners Smokehouse - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

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. read more

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. read more

Well the service was just as bad as the drink machine, terrible!! Taste straight up like carbonation hence why she brought her canned sodas in the fridge displayed, but not for customers. Young lady apparently didn't want to work today. I knew better, but we tried again after a few years and I'd say piss poor attitude does not sit well. If you know something isn't working properly don't offer items. Not to mention there was hair on the outside of the cup. No apology, only option of bottled water or tea with an attitude. Won't be going back that's for sure. ‍ read more

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. read more

Winners Smokehouse - Two meat MVP (sausage & brisket) - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

This was my first time eating here and I am pleased to say the least. The chicken was smoky and tender. The potatoe salad was delicious and the green beans were outstanding. I will definitely be back. Thank you for having such GREAT FOOD. I would post a picture but that plate is gone. read more

I got the rib tip meals for me and a rib sandwich for a friend. It only took 10 minutes, which is a pretty good time for ribs. I got it to go but I thought it looked nice inside. The ribs came with bread and it was some of the better BBQ I've had in my life. I'll definitely go back soon. read more

Greeted by the lovely Kendall, she took our order,such a friendly person made us fill right at home. The owner then came over to make sure we had placed our order and chatted with us for a few. Then the food came. OMG! To die for! So flavorful, so tender, and worth every penny. We were a party of 2 but ordered the GOAT because it had all the meats and we added Green Beans, Greens, coleslaw, and sour cream to go with the cheesy potatoes under the GOAT. I wanted to try everything and we took home so much. The GOAT could easily feed 8-10 people. Let's not forget about the home- made sauce that was made in the kitchen! This place is a little hidden but worth the trip! If your in Cedar Hill, Tx this is a must stop. You won't regret it. We loved everything about. They make you feel like family! read more

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 read more

Winners Smokehouse - Ribs baked beans potato salad - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

I been coming here for years since it opened in Plano. This was a bad experience for me this time. I came when it opened and the ribs were not fresh, and tasted like they were warmed from the previous day. I can tell that the recipe has changed but not in a good way. I will start back going to Plano location. Stop cutting corners are you will lose people like me who drove 45 mins for some good food just to be dissapointed. Serve fresh food everyday, everytime! read more

The food was AMAZING!!! The restaurant was lil dark. The young lady taking the order was very unprofessional and not very pleasant. Upon entering the restaurant I was met with a counter so I stood waiting for someone to greet me. Realizing that no one would, I went to the counter. I explained to the lady that this is my first time being here so I was not sure if the process. She " just look at the menu, it's posted". After placing the other, the food was brought out. Before I was done eating, she came to the table and said "are you done with the barbecue sauce". There were only four people in the restaurant not sure why she needed that particular one. I replied"no, I am waiting on my other food to come out". She brought it in a to go container ( that I didn't ask for as I intended to eat it there). I finally got the rest of my things and left. I'm not going to that I won't come back but I will say that if I do, I hope that the customer service is much, much better. I ordered a bottle of Kool aid with the meal. I had to pay $1 for ice. Ridiculous! When the order is placed there is an option to leave a tip. I know now why the option is given on the front end. On the back end I would have never given one for such poor service. read more

I ordered the 2 meat plate with Ribs & brisket. And, and 2 meat baked potato. My sides were greens and Mac & cheese. The green had no flavor just a hint of red pepper flakes. The Mac and cheese was good. The brisket very dry the sauce didn't help at all. The baked potatoe was horrible also. They clearly microwaved it put a whole slice of brisket on it. I'm disappointed in them I'm not sure what changed because it was one of my favorite BBQ restaurants. read more

Wow, this is some awesome BBQ. We have traveled all over the country as full-time RVers, and have tried BBQ everywhere. We were very impressed with the food here! The brisket and sausage were both melt-in-your mouth tender with a perfect ring of fire. The MVP potato was to die for, baked with a crispy skin, filled with butter, cheese, sour cream and tender pulled pork. Our friend really enjoyed the nachos, too. Gosh, I wish we lived near this place. But, if we did, we'd easily weigh 300 lbs! Want to add, also, that we appreciated that the staff came by once in a while to sincerely ask if everything was tasting good. Boy, was it ever! read more

Food and customer service is always great. They definitely have a family atmosphere. I live close to Forney and don't mind driving there just for the food and service. Keep up the good work!!! Karl L. Burrell read more

I've visited this bbq joint several times and while I've never had a problem with the customer service, the BBQ is very inconsistent. Heavy(understatement) smoke flavor that stays on your hands for the rest of the day. Sometimes it's top notch and sometimes I wonder who they have on the smoke pits read more

This is THE BEST barbecue I've had in a LONG time :) The restaurant was clean, the server was kind, the atmosphere was nice and the food delish! I Will be returning :) read more

Ok thanks for confirming the bbq sauce rations. What can be said for unsatisfactory customer service??

Tried ribs, chicken, brisket, sausage, baked beans, baked potato and potato salad. Sausage ok; everything else was very disappointing. Will not return. read more

We stopped by to try the bbq since they have such great ratings. Unfortunately, the pulled pork tasted like they poured lighter fluid directly on it. I couldn't get past that taste, so it's hard to give a review without that experience. We had mac & cheese, greens, and they accidentally gave us green beans too - the sides were ok. Maybe your experience will be better...it seems like a nice place. read more

I ordered a baked potato and a side of greens and it wasn't worth $40. The meat was dry and the actual baked potato was only on the sides. The middle was mostly dry meat. I've eaten here several times in the past and I'm disappointed in the food that I received. I ignored the other reviews but no lies were told. read more

Hands down the best Brisket in DFW! New owner in town with same old ways that kept here as local hotspot! A lot of items including Their infamous baked potatoes with chicken and mac&cheese sell out so fast! We ordered the combo deal for 4-5 people to try little bit of everything! Ribs, chicken wings, sausage, brisket, and banana pudding. We also had green beans, collard greens, and bbq beans. Oh My Gawddd those briskets were definitely the Bomb! So tender and juicy! All other meats were great too, but these briskets were the best! It went so well with the sides. I couldn't stop eating and I even ended up taking to-go for the next meal. I am definitely going to send the words out and will be back for the ones I couldn't try because they were all out already since mid afternoon. They close pretty early like 6pm. So get there early enough! Like even before 5pm! It was awesome BBQ experience! Go try people read more

I had the opportunity to pick up some Winner's BBQ today. I used to live in Cedar Hill and decided to move 6 years ago. My wife and I used to rave about Winners., but the last two times they didn't deliver. I hope that this feedback is accepted and used for improvement. I ordered two 3 meat potatoes and a barbecue beef sandwich for my dad. read more

Possibly the best brisket I've ever had. The bark had little crispy bits and it reminded me of cracklin' cornbread. Great seasoning on the meat and extremely tender. How lucky to find a spot like this two minutes from my house. Will definitely be back. read more

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

Winners is a hidden gem in the city of Cedar Hill. It is some of the best bbq I have had. The service is not bad. They help to serve you in whatever need you have. Either eat in or take out. Great bbq. You ought to visit. read more

Came here and picked up bbq for Father's Day. I ordered the prime time which is a little bit of everything. We ended up giving it to our dog. I ordered 87$ worth of dog food. The brisket slices we're almost an inch thick! What the heck is that!? It was the chewiest, most undercooked brisket I have ever eaten. The ribs were also undercooked. The little bit of that was on the ribs was stuck on the bone. The pulled pork was tender but was soooo salty it was almost inedible. I'll go to Harris bbq next time I need a fix. I wish I could get my money back. What a waste. It seems like the bbq beans are just bush's baked beans with a little of seasoning in it and the green beans seem like they're dumped straight from a can into a styrofoam to go cup. I want my money back. read more

Came last Sunday right after church, so they were maybe open less than an hour and was already sold out of greens and a meat option. Now I know they sale out of things rather quickly so either they need to make more or y'all need to come right when they open. Since I imagine they know they run out of things, and it hasn't changed then be mindful if your not there waiting 20 mins before they open, items may be sold out. I say all that because we drove rather far to get there and was slightly sad when we seen the chalk board with the items that were already sold out. We had beef sandwiches, mac and cheese, beans, pulled pork and ribs. Mac and cheese wasn't my sort of taste. It had noodles, some sort of queso type cheese and a ton of pepper. no thanks. Beans- tasted off. Like a slight taste of metal or something. Couldn't put my finger on it but it was sweetened to the max. No thanks. Why a 4 star review? All the meat was DIVINE. pulled pork was so soft and buttery, 2 bites and it was GONE. The rub they have on those baby ribs were amazing. I mean seriously, the meat is top notch without a doubt. ROLL THAT BEAUTIFUL BEAN FOOTAGE. ( inserts a video of me tasting the meat) lol That's all folks. read more

Solid BBQ, iI ordered the rib, pork, brisket sampler with baked beans and mac & cheese. All the meats were flavorful and tender. Price was reasonable for what you get! The place was clean and the girl taking the orders was helpful and friendly. I would recommend! read more

I usually buy BBQ out of convenience, but I convince myself that I can make it better myself. But at Winners I have to hand it to them. If I'm completely honest their brisket is better than mine. read more

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

Went here according to posted hours and they were closed... maybe due to Covid? Man was taking the day's trash out and graciously offered to make us plates. We declined, as we were traveling and wanted a sit down dinner. It the offer was nice! read more

Winners Smokehouse - Hours! Updated. - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

Stopped in for lunch with a 3 Meat plate of ribs, sliced brisket, and sausage and potato salad and beans on the side. The cashier was friendly but the interior was a little cold. All the meats have a good smoky flavor (my guess is pecan and oak) with heavy black pepper typical of central TX barbecue. The brisket was slightly dry and required a dab of sauce. It was also sliced thicker than I prefer but the flavor was top notch. Overall, the lineup of meats stood on their own without having to rely on a heavy sauce to prop the flavor. Beans were also heavy on black pepper but good. Potato salad was nice and creamy with a pop of dill. Both sides complimented the meats well. Owner of the business stopped by to chat for a minute then his wife came by a bit later. Very nice people! If you're in the area and looking for good barbecue, stop in and support this wonderful local business! read more

This is what you expect when to get BBQ in Texas. Winner's BBQ lives up to its name! Ok, let me be clear... I love greasy spoon / off the grid restaurant, the food tends to be authentic, large portions and the best bang for your buck. I enjoyed the atmosphere (the soulful music) and the smoky grill smell had me more then ready to sit and eat. All the smoked meats were cooked to perfection from the brisket, ribs and sausage. I have to put a shoutout for the sides, the green beans is absolutely delicious. Winner's is a good place for groups. I would recommend Winner's to family and friends. read more

The meat here is amazing! The ribs just fall off the bone and are full of flavor. The rub they used is delicious. They links are also great. I gave them 4 stars because the sides are not as amazing as the eat. The green beans had a sweet taste to them. The Mac & cheese was nothing to brag about. The sweet tea is not good at all, but I was able to get another drink without any issues. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. The drink was also included. I will definitely return for the bbq. read more

I was over in Dallas for my boyfriend's basketball game and decided to stop for some food. The reviews were great so I thought we'd give Winners BBQ a try. When we walked in the vibe was very nostalgic. Good soul music playing throughout and I was met with an incredible aroma from the kitchen. Very clean place and good service. On to the actual food, this is the best barbecue restaurant I've ever been to. The macaroni was more seasoned than I expected and was delicious. The green beans were a little soggy, however, the taste made up for it. And finally the pulled pork sandwich was so good we got 2 pounds of pulled pork to go!! Will definitely visit again. read more
