“My husband and I stopped in for dinner last night, currently eating my leftovers for lunch and have nearly had to fight two co workers trying to steal my smoked turkey! It’s delicious, serving sizes are great. Flavors are developed and not aggressive. We enjoyed our first trip to Tenders very much.“

“When I tell y’all this food is sent from heaven, I mean it! I found this place when I was looking for places to order on DoorDash. The reviews were so good that I decided to just go up there because everyone speaks so highly of the owners. Be prepared to wait about 15 minutes, but it’s worth every minute sat!! I got 2 of the brisket tacos and a brisket bbq potato. It’s freaking huge! I’m going to try to the brisket sandwich next time because a family that are regulars were up there waiting on their food and told me I gotta try it next! I will be back this weekend. 😆“

“Me and my family have been to multiple Korean bbqs but this one has truly been outstanding. The food, the service, all so good! Truly sets your expectations high. Our server Kevin was very impressive, he was serving multiple tables at a time but yet was very attentive to every single one of them! He truly is amazing at his job! He is very hardworking and always has a positive energy! I truly look forward coming in every time! They truly serve me and my family amazingly!“

“This was my very first time dining at Manna Shabu & BBQ (Lewisville location) while visiting for a concert weekend, and I have to say—it was such a wonderful experience! They were even having a special collaboration with a local small business vendor for the Ateez concert and offering a complimentary Lemon Drop mocktail for each diner, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. I believe it was the owner or manager who greeted me, and when he learned it was my first visit, he kindly explained the menu, the dining options, and where to find the different food and sauce stations. I was then shown to my table where a very sweet server brought me water and took my order. Throughout my meal, two other staff members as well as the owner/manager checked on me often. The service was beyond excellent—everyone was attentive, helpful, and genuinely kind. Now onto the food—oh my gosh, the portions were incredible! I ordered three different meats and was so pleasantly surprised at the generous serving sizes. At most KBBQ places, one order barely feels like enough for a single person, but here, each order was hearty and satisfying. I couldn’t stop raving about it to my boyfriend and mom while on the phone during my meal! The meat was fresh, high-quality, and delicious—even without dipping sauces. The corn cheese also deserves a special shout-out—it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. Beyond the main dishes, there were so many great options: hot plates like mandu, sausage, japchae, fried rice, and chicken; a nice selection of banchan; an ice cream station for dessert; and a wide variety of sauces to complement everything. The restaurant itself was very clean, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and even the restrooms were spotless. I also loved that the TVs played some of my favorite K-pop groups and the music playlist was absolutely top tier—it really added to the fun vibe. Dining here as a solo traveler, I never once felt uncomfortable or out of place. On the contrary, I felt taken care of and treated like a queen. It was such a comforting and memorable experience, and I am so thankful for the outstanding hospitality and service I received. I highly recommend Manna Shabu & BBQ and can’t wait to come back with my family the next time I’m in town. Thank you for making my first visit such a wonderful one!“

“Excellent food and great service! Thanks“

“My boyfriend's favorite place❤️“

“Me and my friends always come here for late night dinner and always get taken care by Nick, he is very attentive and the food quality is worth more than the price they set it up for. We’ve tried different places of KBBQ but the is by far our favorite one especially the pork jowl!“

“5 stars!!! I felt so bad. We showed up 10 mins before close but we drove from Oklahoma and had a heck of a trip. I promised my boys bbq so we risked it and went in. We were greeted, and seated and told to take our time (of course we didn’t) but our server Anthony was one of the best servers we have ever had, and the food was worth the hour and a half drive. Clean establishment as well! We will be back! Thank you Anthony for being so kind to us!“

“When my garage door cable snapped, I contacted this company, and they provided a cost-effective repair. Their technician replaced the cable promptly, ensuring proper operation at an affordable price. I commend their skillful workmanship and reasonable pricing.“

“Went here last night for dinner with my wife. Met the new owner, who came and introduced himself. Very friendly and loved that he took time to visit with us, box up the leftovers and gave us a very honorific good bye as we left. We will certainly be back.“

“I love Kids Eat Free on Sundays and I love how you can get your own sides. Brisket is shockingly good!“

“Love the ambiance. Reminds me of home. Sweet family restaurant with great down home cooking!!“

“If you’re looking for authentic Korean food in Carrollton, please give Kooksoo a try. This place honestly deserves so much more attention. My boyfriend and I got the King Rib Jjamppong. The food was absolutely delicious, comforting, and full of flavor, but what really stood out was how kind and genuine the owner was. He personally came out to check on every table, asking if everything tasted good and whether the spice level was okay. You can really tell he cares about his customers and puts his heart into the restaurant.

In a time where so many places feel rushed or impersonal, this felt incredibly warm and welcoming. Great food, generous portions, and genuinely kind service. Small family-owned restaurants like this deserve all the support. We’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Had an awesome experience at this Korean BBQ place! Hailey gave us amazing service the whole night — super friendly, attentive, and made us some delicious soju drinks. She really made the atmosphere fun and welcoming. Great food, great drinks, and even better service. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This place is AMAZING!!!! Food is delicious and service was superb! Must try !!“

“Always have ordered bbq beef, sausage or pork sandwich here, but today I tried the cheeseburger and so glad I did. It had a really great flavor, reminded me of the original Kincaids burgers in Ft. Worth. This has to be my fav now in Denton! Love the market also, so many unique items.“

“The food was great and Mira was fantastic service, highly recommend! ???“

“WOW!! Whiskey & Smoke @ the River Walk, invariably and substantively, transcends. Seems irrespective of where we now travel and dine, we find ourselves craving this fabulous food! Sinfully sublime melt in your mouth steaks - and that open flame seasoning, magic. Even the comfort food sides ring decadently delicious. Tack on superb service and we are delightfully hooked. It's become a habit that compels us to return, time and again. How handy that W&S is right here in the heart of Flower Mound. Extraordinary! 🤩“

“Best fried chicken you'll find in the DFW.
All the sauces are really flavorful, but the best way to order in my opinion is the plain golden original chicken with a side of sauce for dipping. That's keeps the breading super crispy wyle you eat it.
We dont order from other chicken places anymore.

The sides are great too, some of the best French fries iv ever had. Somehow as crispy as their chicken, without being overcooked. My wife and I come back regularly.“

“Love this place! Been coming here for bout 4 - 5 years now. It definitely is a dope vibe when you’re grubbing with the peeps and the servers are awesome. There are couple new faces for sure but they’re great and Jeffery and Moon are always attentive to making sure it’s always great when me and the squad come in, so much so they’ll have us seated and already bring out what we usually order. This is my kbbq place fasho I can go to the other fancy schmancy ones but they wont show love like the crew does here. Bring ya appetite and they’ll get ya right is all I can say.“

“My Mom, son and I went for a late lunch. Food is always great here, as we are local and occasionally make our way there, but today was completely different due to our server. I can't remember the last time I've had such exceptional service! THANK YOU Ian!👍🏻 You are Top Notch!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I hope you are there every time we visit.“

Will be back before i leave texas..keep up the great work!!“

“Dickey’s Barbecue Pit on I-35E in Denton is hands down one of the best barbecue spots around! The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Their brisket is tender and juicy with just the right amount of smokiness, and the ribs fall right off the bone. The sides are just as good—mac & cheese, baked potato casserole, and fried okra are absolute must-haves.

The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making the dining experience even better. The place is clean, well-maintained, and perfect for a casual meal with friends or family.“

“It is one of kind traditional Korean restaurant located in Carrollton, Texas. Their services were outstanding! Not just services, foods were excellent too. It might be for some Americans, but most Korean Americans are praising this traditional Korean BBQ style meats.🍖 Many side dishes are served as you ordered main dishes.“

“Great food!! Hibachi Cabbage and spicy noodle is so good. And extra friendly staff. Will definitely go back soon.“

“I wanted to show some recognition and appreciation for the man and young lady working the To-Go station on 7/7 evening. It appeared the young lady was in training, learning the register process and such. The man was incredibly patient and encouraging towards her. Very kind & courteous to us as well, even offering a complimentary drink while we waited for our food. That kind of training makes a difference and it was rewarding to see the kindness! Always a pleasant experience visiting this Spring Creek location!“
