We were visiting Texas with some friends that have never been and decided to take them out for BBQ. We really liked this place!Pros: ALL of the staff were SO friendly! The man at the ordering counter was very patient and helpful. Another man (I'm thinking a manager) offered to man the bar for us and did a great job helping us taste and pick the right kind of beer for each of us out of their great selection of Texas beers.The prices are quite reasonable as well! 1/4lb brisket and a side of mac comes in around $10. A 24oz pour of Devil's Backbone 8% wheat beer was only $8.You are also greated with a little bowl of chips and your own personal BBQ sauce to take home!I also have to note that the potato salad is DELICIOUS and I don't usually like potato salad.Cons: the mac and cheese was pretty flavorless, and there aren't many side options to choose from.

I love coming to Tender Smokehouse for breakfast. Every time I come they have the best service and treat people so well. The food is outstanding.I had the pancake and sausage this morning. Never had a better pancake anywhere.I used the restroom and it was spotless. I appreciate this restaurant's attention to detail.Maddie was awesome.

Well hello BBQ breakfast Tacos! I just discovered this local joint and was very happy to do so. Good brisket Tacos, incredible ambience, and friendly workers!The only complaint I have here is they have the smallest drink cups of any BBQ joint I've ever been to ..... why is this important you ask? Because like most TX BBQ joints it's counter service and I found myself getting up to walk across the entire place 4 times to refill my iced tea.Their BBQ sauce is really good, I just wish they had a couple of options ..... spicy, sweet and spicy, anything to try!!I'll certainly be back .... I wonder if they'd let me bring my own gallon pitcher for my iced tea??!!

Had high hopes for visiting Tender but unfortunately the food just wasn't great. I visited with a colleague on a Business trip and we ordered a little bit of everything. Brisket, Pulled Pork, Sausage, Ribs, Mac and Cheese, Beans etc.The Jalapeño Sausages were really good, but the rest of the meat tasted like liquid smoke, or the pit wasn't running on 'Blue-smoke' (if you BBQ you'll know what i mean). Without the sausage, I would have given only 1 start because of the 'bad' smoke taste.Had a nice IPA and the service was really good at the bar.I don't think we'll be rushing back there though, there are many other great BBQ joints to explore in Dallas/Frisco.

This location is amazing!! We visited this place right after we landed from Canada and this one set the standard so high!! The customer service is top notch. The brisket was so good!! If you visit Dallas, make sure to try this place! ❤️ Their barbecue sauce has a unique taste in a good way. Love the kick!Our order got delayed because of some misunderstanding but they made up for it and we were so satisfied with their service. Plus points for the bible verse on the cup 🥰Amazing food, service, and price!
