Tender Smokehouse Frisco

Top-notch BBQ! The brisket was incredibly moist and flavorful—best I’ve had in a while. It practically melted in my mouth, and the bark had just the right amount of char. The atmosphere is fantastic: laid-back and welcoming with that classic BBQ vibe. Service was spot-on too—friendly staff who were quick, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. If you’re craving real-deal Texas-style BBQ in the area, this place is a must-try. We’ll definitely be back for more brisket and maybe some ribs next time!

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 le

Nice restaurant setting. Gluten free options with the baked potatoes and different proteins. Outside seating available. You can have the brisket either Lien, marbled or mixed. I thought that was nice to have the option. The cheese on the baked potato did not taste like anything, but the baked potato itself was huge and tasted very good.

Amazing BBQ and Even Better Hospitality! I had an incredible experience at this BBQ spot! The beef ribs were absolutely amazing—fall-off-the-bone tender with rich, smoky flavor. The brisket was just as good: juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. The pineapple coleslaw came highly recommended by both the manager, Stacy Pitman, and another guest, and I’m glad I tried it—sweet, tangy, and the perfect side to the smoky meats. I brought my kids along, and they had a blast. Stacy went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—he truly knows how to put a smile on everyone's face. It’s the kind of place where families feel right at home. To top it all off, I tried banana pudding for the first time, and now I’m hooked. Everything from the food to the atmosphere was just right, and with reasonable p

Great experience here at Tinders! It’s our family’s favorite bbq stop here in Frisco. The jalapeño cheddar sausage is awesome. The turkey is smoked to perfection, and the Mac and cheese is super creamy. The complementary chips are great as well. I love the bread and butter pickles, so I asked a worker (Ranger) for more, and he brought them right out. Quick, clean, and I felt at home. Mark & Derrick are always awesome as well. Definitely will be back.
