Barbeque Restaurants near Little Elm

“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.“

“we just had the best experience at this Dickeys! Heather was so kind and helpful, our food came out very quick and it's all delicious!!!“

“Great food and owners 👍👍👍💪💪💪“

“We came here yesterday for breakfast because one of my friends told me about the great value and how good it was. I was apprehensive about going back because we have eaten here for lunch and dinner before and it’s been hit or miss. The very first time I came here the brisket was moist and almost as good as Hutchins in McKinney. I kept telling my wife and son how great the food was, but when we came, the brisket was on par with Spring Creek BBQ. Very dry.

I will say the service has always been great and the atmosphere is really nice. And I do love that during lunch and dinner they give you kettle chips to snack on while you wait for your food.

So back to breakfast…

I probably will not go back to Starwood Café after eating breakfast at Tenders. You spend about the same money if not less and get way more food (that tastes as good if not better). And to be able to have brisket for breakfast, that’s a win in my book any day of the week.

Thankfully, the brisket we had was incredibly moist and very flavorful. The eggs were perfectly cooked to the way we asked for them to be. The hashbrowns had a great texture and great flavor. My son and I did not care for the potatoes, but my wife liked them and they are good if that’s your thing. Tender’s sausage has always been great so that was enjoyable as usual. The pancake was flat out amazing. It’s a very large and thick pancake, but had crispy edges, soft interior, and the syrup and butter were very flavorful.

I think the one letdown for me was the biscuits and gravy. The gravy had great texture and flavor (although you could get a little bit more for how many biscuits you’re getting) but the problem was the biscuits were overcooked. A great biscuit has just a little bit of crunch on the outside and is tender and soft all the way throughout… but the biscuits that came with our biscuits and gravy were mostly crunchy and a little bit soft in the middle. I’m not sure if that’s the way that they cook them here or if those just happen to be overcooked. Either way we still are most of them, just didn’t eat the hardest parts of the biscuits.

We will definitely be back for breakfast again soon.“

“What can I say? I’m from Nebraska and was down for school when a friend suggested I try hard eight BBQ. Customer for life! So great! The jalapeño sausage is 10/10. Everything I tried was excellent. I now also highly recommend it!“

“The food was great, but the price was outrageous. I bought 1/2 pound of brisket and 1/2 pound sausage - a total of 1 pound of meat, and 2 sides. The total came to $55.51. That's crazy!!! Unfortunately, I can't afford to go back there again. Too bad, because they're located 1 block from my home and the food is great, but the price is way out of my budget range.“

“The best bbq ever once I tried it I can’t get out of this place also great people and amazing service love this place 😋🫶🏻“

“Michael has catered our Christmas party for the last few years for over 100 people. Always on time and the food was delicious!!! Thanks again for all your hard work! Merry Christmas“

“I am a huge fan of H‑E‑B Texas True BBQ but the very best part is Thai that welcomes me with his rich money maker voice on the intercom! It makes my day when he’s working as he is top notch knows my name and is the very best ! I literally go to the drive thru hoping he’s the one helping me! 10 STARS for Thai! Hey HEB marketing, I’ll buy whatever Thai is pitching! Great voice!“

“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!“

“This place has some of the best smoked BBQ in the whole area. Best collection of Bourbon, whiskey and Rye of any bar I've ever been too. all the staff I've every met there is always, friendly, respectful, efficient, professional. This is hands down our favorite hangout in the whole area.“

“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.“

“I’ve been to True Texas BBQ more times than I can count, and every single I’m given amazing service and delicious food. On my most recent visit, I ordered the seasonal birria ramen for the first time and was greeted by Tanner. His customer service was so great I asked if he was the manager lol. It was top-notch and the birria ramen was a 10/10, as expected. I’ll definitely be back. Thank you, Tanner, for providing such a great experience and for making sure customers receive amazing food every time.“

“food was great and our waitress was very polite and helpful Brenda was helpful“

“I love Rudy's! Every chance I get to stop and get some grub, I do. But I have to say, Carol-Lynn at the Frisco location, provided me with the most awesome service I've experienced! Now, I've never had a bad time but honestly, I'd come here just to interact with her. I had her write her name on my to-go bag so I could leave this review and highlight her specifically (is there a K at the end?) but everyone was friendly too.“

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

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

“Donna is the best associate I have ever experienced in fast casual restaurant. She is fantastic, great, very friendly and courteous. She made us feel as if we knew all our lives . This was the first experience my friend has ever been to HEB before and she thought the food was great and Donna was fabulous. Cameron is awesome.“
