Tender Smokehouse Little Elm

Wonderful food, excellent service, reasonable prices, large servings, great community members! What more can you ask for? Also, great atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating, fun for all ages, and a great place for large groups too.

We visited the Frisco location from Chicago and it was amazing. The meat falls off the rib as you are picking it up. The brisket was super tender. The beans were awesome and so was the potato salad and coleslaw. I can’t wait to go back!

Our first visit... good size servings and really reasonable prices. our food came quickly and it was delicious ... the staff was friendly and attentive. Great location! We will be back

Love the atmosphere and CRAVE the bbq sauce!! The baked potato with brisket is my go to. The staff is always so friendly and customer service is top notch. It’s a staple for our family!

Visited the 380 location today. Pulled pork baked potato with house sauce and the moist brisket were amazing. My husband used to have a small catering business where brisket was what he was known for….so we are picky about good brisket. It was phenomenal. The entire staff were so friendly and such a great atmosphere. We will be back often since we just moved nearby.

Barbecue to me wasn't really that good ribs tasted like they had been boiled

First time eating here. I order online for carry out with 3 entrees and a side, left a tip too even though it was carryout. I arrived 17 minutes after ordering my food and my order was sitting out in the cold... But the girl handing me my food was nice. Got home to find out my side was forgotten but I was given a container of pickles instead. $3.50 down the drain, honestly no biggie my fault for not checking while I was there. The entrees, all sandwiches, tasted like cheap BBQ with a gallon of butter on the breads.

That's when I decided driving back and getting my money back would be more of a hassle and time wasted. I ate what I could and threw away the rest. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if their buttermilk pancakes tasted like cornbread or mill.
