My husband and I eat at Tenders often. The BBQ ribs are on point every single time. And I tell everyone that Tenders has the best BBQ hands down. The brisket is always cooked just right. And the pineapple slaw… OMG. And the Mac n Cheese. The service is always fast and everyone is super friendly.

I asked for lean Brisket yesterday and got meat that's half with fat. Literally half is fat. Very disappointed, check your food before you leave. I would have been a regular customer.

Very upset how these guys treat me as paying customer and Confusing me with other customers on messed up orders. I was very upset. Been waiting on months to get in contact with the general manager. Terrence just overall im a very sad customer. I would not visit here again.
Wow! Wow! Wow! I rarely ever give 5 stars. I feel like those are reserved for places like Tender.
The food is so SENSATIONAL!!!
We had a half slab of ribs, 3/4 lb of briskest (with burnt ends upon request), turkey and sausage. OMG!!!!
Sincerely, I’ve NEVER had meat taste THAT GOOD ANYWHERE else!!!!!
The meat truly, TRULY IS TENDER and tasty.
I’ve been all over the country and eaten bbq everywhere I go. I’ve NEVER BEFORE tasted meat this heavenly in my life!
I’m in love with this restaurant. I wish I’d known about this restaurant sooner.
The potato salad and beans were incredible too. I don’t like bananas… but the banana pudding was recommended so I tried it …and it was INCREDIBLE. There wasn’t anything I tried that wasn’t out of this world. I’m so so so happy I discovered this awesome restaurant. If you want to impress a date or a coworker or family visiting, Tender is a MUST MUST MUST. The food is heavenly.
The Staff are awesome and Travis came over to greet us. He is a terrific person.
I’m so impressed. You will be too!!!!

There was an issue with my order going through on the Toast app. For some reason it didn't make it to the restaurant, but the staff did everything they could to see if they could figure it out. We ended up ordering there. It didn't take long for the food to be ready for us. Staff were so friendly! We chatted while waiting for our food. The brisket was juicy and well seasoned! Jalapeno sausage was delicious. Green beans well seasoned and tasty. My husband liked the okra. Pineapple slaw was unique and very good as well. Great food and great people!

Rude and bland. Owner is tasteless and crude to women.
Came down to Highpoint Performance Showcase in Pilot Point TX. We got hungry for some brisket! Found this fantastic place. Food was wonderful and delicious, not only that but the food came out fast! Service was amazing, super friendly and kind! Would go again! Highly recommend wearing stretchy pants!
Great smokehouse close to home in Celina. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious and right sized. Self serve fountains give you the option to have an Arnold Palmer with your brisket and ribs.

Tender is a staple for us here in Celina. Their pulled pork and sausage is good. The brisket has good smoke, but consistently seems like it needs more time to rest and didnt hit temp in the cook... it can be a little dry and not as tender as it needs to be. Overall sill a great meal and sides

I am a BBQ snob. Until now, the best BBQ I have had is at Smoke Shack in San Antonio. This place has even better brisket and ribs! Flavor and fall off the bone ribs, brisket that melts in your mouth. Even the sauce was good, but the best BBQ doesn't need sauce. My absolute favorite. I can't wait to find the place that beats these.

Even though it's a bbq restaurant the breakfast is great as well. The pancakes are the best.
The sausages and pickled jalapeños are easily five stars — packed with flavor.
The BBQ chicken, seasoned with a unique rub, is a standout and not something you’ll find at most BBQ joints.
Every time I visit, I know I’m in for an enjoyable evening. A solid spot for great smoked meats and a relaxed vibe.

Their brisket is amazing, TBH, I’ve been there 15+ times and never had anything I didn’t love!!! We found them during Covid because they had an amazing pick up package, but they offer it still and is a great amount of food for a great price!!! Their sauce is delicious!!
