"It is a truth universally known among North Texans (and apparently Keith Lee) that Hutchins is one of the best barbecue outlets in the area. Stop into the McKinney location for an order of Texas Twinkies (a large jalapeno stuffed with brisket and cream cheese then wrapped in bacon), ribs, brisket, the potato casserole which is made of magic." - Courtney E.

March 7, 2025 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you want next-level BBQ, you HAVE to visit the original Hutchins BBQ in McKinney! We’ve been to the Frisco location many times, but this was our first time at the OG spot—and WOW, what a difference! 🔥 The Meats 🔥 We ordered ½ lb of Turkey and ½ lb of Wet Brisket, and let me tell you, it was phenomenal. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly smoky, and packed with juicy flavor. The turkey? So moist, with just the right touch of smokiness. And the best part? Their BBQ sauce is always served warm—rich, tangy, and absolutely delicious. Oh, and I have to mention— I used their thick, homemade bread and some mayo to make a Turkey Sandwich stacked with white onions, pickles, jalapeños, and BBQ sauce. DIVINE. 🤤🔥 🌶️ The Texas Twinkie 🌶️ If you haven’t tried Hutchins’ Texas Twinkie, you are missing out! This thing is gigantic—a jumbo jalapeño stuffed with cream cheese and chopped brisket, wrapped in crispy bacon, and glazed with their signature BBQ sauce. 🤤🔥 The combination of smoky, spicy, creamy, and sweet flavors is Devine!! 🍽️ The Sides & Fixings 🍽️ The bread here is a game-changer! It’s thick, soft, and tastes homemade—way better than the Frisco location’s version. And the fire-roasted corn? Slightly charred perfection that kicks their already amazing creamy jalapeño corn up ten notches. 🌽🔥 We also had their mashed potatoes (which have a special name I can’t quite recall) and they were incredible—smooth, buttery, and the perfect comfort food. And then there’s the fried okra… WOW. In Frisco, it’s always burnt, even when we’ve asked them to remake it. But here? Perfectly crispy, flavorful, and beyond killer. Their fixings bar is also stacked! They have banana peppers, jalapeños, pickles, white onions, plus all the baked potato toppings you could want—sour cream, shredded cheese, butter, and bacon. 🥔🧀🥓 Another thing we noticed? The vibe here is so much better. It’s quieter, calmer, and just the right size—none of those massive, awkward tables where you end up sitting with strangers. Way more enjoyable! 🍑 The Desserts 🍌 Now for the grand finale—the Banana Pudding and Peach Cobbler. OMG. The banana pudding is heavenly, creamy, and packed with flavor. But the Peach Cobbler? It’s more like a dump cake, and let’s just say… I don’t even LIKE peach cobbler, but this one? LIFE-CHANGING. 🤯 Especially when topped with cold vanilla ice cream. 🍦 💯 The Service & Management 💯 Shoutout to Jolene, our server—she was amazing! Super sweet, full of that classic Texas charm, and made sure we had an incredible experience. She even suggested we share our compliments with Wayne, the manager, who was awesome as well. Wayne told us he’s been telling Frisco they’ve made some beyond lightyear changes in the 3-4 months he’s managed McKinney, and it absolutely shows. I hope the Frisco location is listening, because the quality in McKinney proves why they are the original location. They keep it true to their roots while still making room for expansion and experimentation—finding ways to recreate the wheel without breaking it (kind of like making a car fly—same concept, just way, way, WAY better!). Now Wayne? He’s a true Southern gentleman, Dallas born, bred, and raised. He’s one heck of a man, and we were honored and blessed to get to know him and his awesome staff. Just check out the pictures for yourself! If you weren’t sure—Wayne’s the one in the cowboy hat. I even asked him and his meat master carvers to pose for a few photos for this review. 🥤 The One (Tiny) Flaw 🥤 They serve Pepsi products here, and for that, we say… we forgive you. 😆 We’re definitely more Coke people, but honestly? The meat is so beyond amazing, so life-changing, that we’ll let it slide. 🏆 Final Verdict 🏆 We’ve tried a LOT of BBQ spots, but Hutchins is where it’s at—especially McKinney. The price is right (pun intended 🎯), the food is on another level, and the experience is just so much better. If you haven’t been here yet, what are you waiting for?! 🔥 5 STARS ALL THE WAY! You won’t regret it! 🔥

An all around Texan experience is served up at Hutchins BBQ. If you are reading this review and are on the fence, this is THE spot! Everything was impeccable, from the bangin' smoked meats to the free banana pudding (for dine in customers). The carvers were informative and the rest of the staff was also on their game 🎯 . You have to get the Twinkies, they are out of this world. I had to check my pulse because I thought I just died and gone to BBQ Heaven!

Morgan! Been to Hutchins countless times, amazing every time. This time around, received the absolute best experience I’ve had in ages. Our server Morgan was extremely helpful, and caring. She recommended that we toast our bread, constantly checked up on us, and as well as checking on the status of our ribs. Definitely coming back but don’t be shy to approach her, A+ plus all around

My husband and I had a really good experience visiting Hutchins BBQ. Food was great, and the brisket was served exactly how I requested and they made certain that it was. Our server was fantastic, she was prompt and attentive to us the entire time that we were there. All of these things add up to superior and quality service.

45 minute drive to Hutchins BBQ in McKinney, Texas. From start to finish the staff was Amazing. The Texas Twinkie was Awesome, Brisket was tender/juicy, and ribs fall off the bone amazing. Best BBQ is in Texas, Hutchins BBQ to be specific. Thank you Zack for taking us on the Pit Tour, Very informative and interesting. It's the Lone Star State but Hutchins gets 5 Stars. #ItsBetterInTexas

I saw this place on TikTok. There was a huge line, literally around the corner, no parking, And I thought, it must be good. I ordered the Texas Twinkie, the stuffed Jalapeños, they were not hot at all. Very disappointed, But the meet was absolutely wonderful. I would go more often if it wasn't 60+ miles away from home.

10/10, Best BBQ, great customer service. Worth the drive from Mesquite to McKinney. I was there on a Sunday & accidentally left my wallet which I didn’t notice was missing until Tuesday.. I kept thinking of where I could have left it since I had a busy Sunday and I called Hutchins… They had it, they found it and locked it away. So I was able to pick it up the following Sunday and we ate there again and even introduced some friends who also loved it😅❤️

I was in town for business and a client from California wanted BBQ. So we went to Hutchins. I have eaten at the one in Frisco but never McKinney and I will say it did not disappoint. My client stated that she loved the food as it was not over Smokey like she gets in California. She loved everything she ate, she loved the atmosphere and the amazing deserts. She had never been served BBQ the way Hutchins does it and she loved it. The crew doing the service were amazing and knowledgeable and walked her through every question she had. I had the brisket, regular sausage, Texas Twinkie and pinto beans (brisket). The brisket was moist, the sausage cooked to perfection and the beans were on point. And of course the Texas Twinkie was the bomb as always. Shout out to Ms Blanca our table server. Absolutely amazing and friendly. I will continue to be a Hutchins fan as they have the best BBQ in North Texas.

I like Hutchins near and far, I'd eat Hutchins in my car. I'd eat Hutchins anywhere, I'd eat Hutchins if I had to fight a bear. I'm disappointed. Not because of the wonderful meal I had, but because I waited so long to try Hutchins. In all honesty, I was unable to eat at Hutchins (I have a newborn, sue me), but what an experience it was to get to order Hutchins through the drive thru. Not gonna lie, their service rivals Chick-fil-A. As for the food, wow, what a musical of a meal. The pork ribs still fell off the bone by the time I got to my house. The brisket reminded me of the Alamo because I'll always remember it. The turkey was juicy and flavorful. If you can make a really good smoked turkey, you know your way around a smoker like Willie Nelson. The sauce was special, put it on everything. Finally, the sides. We had the broccoli salad, potato casserole, and pinto beans. I couldn't believe how good they were and how much they complimented the meal. I'm excited to come back to Hutchins in the future and eat in person. There's so much else to discover at this place. It's nice to be home.

We ordered a party platter + beef ribs Meats: Brisket / Beef Rib / Pork Ribs / Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage / Turkey Sides: Fried Okra, Coleslaw, Mac n Cheese, Cream Corn, Potato Casserole Brisket and beef rib were juicy, soft, and flavorful. Turkey was so tender; what you wish Thanksgiving turkey could be. Jalapeno Cheddar sausage is also must get. Pork Ribs had good smokey flavor but it was dry. All the sides were good except the okra which were just bland. Of the dessert bar, banana pudding was my favorite. The peach cobbler was decent and the vanilla ice cream tasted cheap. But the fact that it's unlimited is still a fun reason to go. Staff were very nice and helpful. Lots of seating inside.

I love it when things fall into place. Timing was perfect for a late lunch on the road. Formula for success? Chopped beef sandwich+ sauce on side+ hand cut fries= Nirvana Another great food experience courtesy of Hutchins McKinney.

Wow, what an experience- first timer here and boy, I had fun. Had a bit of a time looking for parking- waited out in the cold for a bitty- but once inside- the fun was on and popping. One of the awesome staff members was kind enough to ask everyone in line if they had visited before and he proceeded to explain how everything worked- I went on to order a smattering of items because my eyes were locked in and I was in love- The staff was friendly and patient- they had had smiles and were eager to help. All the meat and sides looked fresh and hot. Meats: 1/4 of jalapeño sausage, one sliver of brisket, Texas Twinkie- my friends let me try one of their ribs and that was the winner- I wish I could have just gotten a tray full of those. The Texas Twinkie sadly was not good for me- the bacon was charred onto the Twinkie and it tasted like lighter fluid. Sides: potato casserole, green beans and Mac and cheese- tasty, I loved the potato casserole beat and the Mac and cheese was really cheesy and creamy. They have all the butter, bread, bbq sauce, pickles, onions, free dessert- it's beautiful. Set up buffet style. Clean and near. Even table side, service was an awesome. Great experience. I know prices are high everywhere but I just wish it was a little less expensive.

First impressions were that the parking situation wasn't great, but there is cover if you're waiting outside in a line. There's also a drive through, which is great. We went just after opening on a Saturday and were able to walk right in with a very short wait to order. The staff was very welcoming and helpful for first timers like us. It's cafeteria style where you order your meat and then movie around to order your sides before making your way to check out and then get all your condiments. We both picked an array of meat and sides. Here are the thoughts: Brisket (marbled): Very good, but $10 for one slice is wild Jalapeño/ Regular Sausages: Had very good flavor, but I didn't love how greasy it was Brisket Hot Link: Would definitely order again Texas Twinkie: oh my. So delicious. Get one! Pork Ribs: Very good! Again not an inexpensive cut given you're paying for the weight of bones too Pulled Pork: eh. Sides: skip all of them. Terrible. No seriously. Condiments: they have all you need including pickles, bread, onions, sauces, and loaded potato toppings We didn't try the desserts. The staff while at the tables were also so friendly and helpful. Overall, I'd be back but I'd just get meat to go so I could have sides from somewhere else.

I love Hutchins! We got the moist brisket, a piece of lean brisket, mac n' cheese, green beans, and a baked potato. Everything was delicious! The green beans were okay, and the peach cobbler didn't have any cinnamon or nutmeg in it, but it was still good--just not what I'm used to. I still took some cobbler to go! And let's talk about my man Mike and his excellent customer service, nice smile and hat ! He showed up out of nowhere to help us place an extra order and was thoughtful enough to bring me a bag for my leftovers without me even asking. Every place needs a Mike!

The most delish, fresh Texas barbecue! Food is prepared fresh out of the smoker and will literally send you into taste bud heaven! Highly recommend the brisket, Texas firecracker (jalapeño stuffed with shredded brisket and cream cheese, wrapped in bacon and smoked) as well as the macaroni and cheese...it's sooooo good! Highly recommend a stop!

On the way to the Dallas Cowboys we found this gem of a bbq restaurant. Stood in line for a bit but it was well worth it. Brisket chicken and sides were all amazing. Had a waiter at the table that was very attentive and friendly. Lots of space inside to eat, we found a nice booth to sit in.

This was our first time visiting any Hutchins location and it was delicious! Food- We ordered the beef rib, brisket, jalapeno and cheddar sausage, creamed corn, potato casserole and Mac and cheese and 2 twinkies. The Twinkies and the brisket were our favorite. Oh and that delicious peach cobbler! Atmosphere- We arrived at 10:50 and there were about 10 guests ahead of us. I'm assuming it wasn't crowded yet because of the weather and we got there early. It was a typical BBQ restaurant. With buffet style station for the two desserts. Service- They had servers around the dining area to help with whatever you needed although we didn't need anything at all it was nice to have the option. Everyone on the line was very nice and helped direct us to their favs.

Growing up in TX I was spoiled with the best flavors and styles of BBQ's at my fingertips and mesquite wood smoked brisket being the cornerstone of any Texas BBQ eatery's. Many try and many fail tying to refine the art of mesquite smoking the brisket. Hutchinson BBQ sets the standard for pecan wood BBQ brisket. The meat has a deep smoked flavor that melts in your mouth causing a tastebuds explosion as the bite of brisket devolves in your mouth. If the main genre menu item is done right everything else falls inline. Cozy decor, awesome condiments to choose from and free desserts! You have to try the brisket!!

Decided to stop by for lunch after flea marketing in McKinney. I will share know before you go and order - 1st stop by meat station and order as everything sold by the pound as most BBQ do today and then on to sides. Tiki Hubby and I shared a rib and one sausage and a Texas Twinkie. No sides no drinks. Total bill was $68.00 Texas Twinkie jalapeño stuffed with brisket cream cheese and wrapped in bacon $5.99 Yummy. Beef Rib was not worth it, mostly fat, burnt ends and bone. I made a comment to the young man cutting the meat about one rib $45.00 and his reply was "Cows are Big". Not enough meat at all and for the $46.00 charge for it was very disappointing. So know before you go a slice of brisket would have been the way to go. Lady in dinning room was very friendly and service forward. I cannot really give much of a review of the food. Bread and desserts were self serve and seemed fresh. Loud dinning room with lots going on. Hope to come back to try the meat, as stated Stuffed jalapeño was good and the sausage was too. Warm BBQ sauce was sooo good.

Wowzers! This was delicious! Award winning BBQ (see photos). Lots of delicious meats, veggies sides, salads and desserts. Brisket was tender with a great smoked flavor w/o any sauce A+ Beef Ribs fall off the bone, great dry rub flavor. A+ Great staff, cleaned up our tables, got us extras, helped with questions! Definitely Texas decor. Like Texas BBQ... this is a Must!

Food is always great. But $15.00 for a brisket sandwich is crazy. We've been eating here for 15 years. It's unbelievable how popular this place has become in the last 5 years. We used to eat here a few time a month. But with their price increases now it's just a few times a year.

Kimberly D.

Yelp
So so so yummy! Drove almost an hour just to eat here and was well worth it. Only complaint was all the fat in the brisket we received. Typical decor for a bbq place which made it feel like home. The service was great. When we asked for fried okra boy O boy did we get fried okra

Drove up all the way to McKinney bright and early to check out Hutchin's and it's one of the better BBQ places I tried in Dallas. Another Texas Monthly Top 50 joint. Got in early and didn't have to wait. It has a franchise kind of feel without being too commercialized. Ordered half a pound of fatty brisket, half pound of pork ribs, a side of mac and cheese, and got free peach cobbler & banana pudding in their "buffet" area which is really just where the accoutrements are. They do taste buffet-quality. I'd pass on them if you're counting calories. Brisket was overcooked, which was disappointing but also a relief from several places I visited with an undercooked flat. Decent oak and pecan flavor, bark was set, but nothing extraordinary. The pork ribs were a tad salty with an overwhelming smoke flavor, also a tad overcooked by an hour or so. I enjoyed the mac and cheese and the bacon station nearby to top to your hearts content. Giving this a 3.5/5, rounding up because it's better than most places I tried in the Dallas & Forth Worth area. It's also priced very competitively and definitely worth the bang for your buck.

When I think of Texas BBQ, I think of Hutchins! The lines may be long, but their service is so fast, the drive through is so convenient, and their dessert bar inside is so good! Whenever family comes to visit, we have to take them to Hutchins for the full Texas BBQ experience, and they never disappoint! I wish I snagged a picture of their Texas Twinkies! They're delicious and absolutely massive!

Love this style of BBQ - get exactly what you want and how much Food was fantastic & we even got to try a sample before committing to one of the meats Sides were all delicious, especially the mac n cheese Service at the front was very helpful & someone checked on us a few times, but not too much Overall a cool atmosphere & great experience

My favorite place to get BBQ!! The brisket is SOOOOO GOOD! If you go to Hutchins, GET THE BRISKET! Also the Texas Twinkies are absolutely incredible!! Huge fan of the Mac and cheese as well. Everyone who works here is incredibly kind and very helpful. Also, THE DESSERTS ARE FANTASTIC.

Linda T.

Yelp
Really great barbecue. The line can be long on the weekends, so try to come on a weekday. The beef rib is delicious! Definitely have to order the Texas Twinkie. Brisket is tenders, broccoli salad is really good here, and free desserts is a good time!

Emma C.

Yelp
For my first try of brisket I had the best experience. We waited in a line that stretched outdoors but moved quickly. I ordered 1/3 lb of turkey & 1/3 lb of chopped brisket. I was chuckled at & told that I should get sliced for my first try. So so soooo happy that I took the recommendation. Sides- the beans are pretty mid, but mixed in w bites with the mac&cheese or the CREAMY CORN Don't skip the peach cobbler with icecream!!

Torrey S.

Yelp
This location may be better than the one in Frisco with regard to service & convenience. They have a nice drive thru out front, too. Look, great barbecue is no longer cheap, but you get your money's worth. We did not get a lot, and we still left with leftovers. I wanted to take a moment to mention the amazing turkey. It was so tender and juicy you could forget it's from a BBQ joint. Also, the original sauce is the OG, go-to move. It complimented, rather than over powered the turkey. Finally, the Texas Twinkies are my absolute favorite Hutchins item. They are HUGE, perfectly cooked, and well-balanced.

Everything was absolutely delightful. I really loved the giant dry rubbed giant beef ribs, soooo fall off the bones tasty! Service was friendly and very welcoming. I'll be back whenever I'm in the area again!

Stupid good BBQ. Brisket was pull apart good, pulled pork seasoned well, burnt ends absolutely amazing, ribs fall off thr bone. Potato casserole, creamed corn and broccoli salad all good. It was expensive, yes. However, you are paying for QUALITY. Worth every penny.

Philip R.

Yelp
Amongst the best brisket and pork ribs I've experienced. Anywhere. Yes even any of the many BBQ places I've tried in Kansas or Pecan Lodge in Dallas. Moist, flavorful, not overly salted and cut like butter with a plastic butter knife. Ribs fell off the bone and had more flavor without sauces than so many others. Sides brisket and beans are decent, Mac and cheese fine without being special. Speaking of sauces, the original is excellent. No need to dip into, pun unintended, into tangy or other. Everyone we've ever encountered at Hutchins are kind and engaging people. Oh, almost forgot - endless refills on drinks and free desert - peach cobbler or banana pudding, and ice cream.

Jamie A.

Yelp
Food is to die for! this our hands down FAVORITE BBQ! When it comes to TX BBQ this is definitely where you should go! Plus free dessert! Service is great! Staff is friendly and helpful with ordering and getting your sides! Ambiance screams BBQ joint! it can definitely get very crowded especially during the weekend but the drive thru is also a great option! The outdoor pit is also a great new add so people can watch the magic happen! My brother and husband are really into smoking/BBQ so they loved this aspect of the location! Overall our go to! We love this place!

My son took me here on my second trip to Texas. The food was tender and amazing. I was surprised at how good the turkey was. We went after my son got off of work, so they were out of some things, but that was probably a good thing since I was stuffed. The workers were extremely friendly and helpful, and the food was cut and plated nicely. I will definitely come back.

Was in McKinney on business and went for dinner with coworkers. There are so many excellent BBQ places in Texas that it's hard to know where to begin. I have been to many of them, but this was my first visit to Hutchins. Meats are priced by the pound, so I ordered a 1/4 of each meat (brisket, jalapeño sausage and pork rib). The brisket was very good, but most big names are. (In Texas, if your brisket isn't really good, you won't be in business for long). The sausage was really good. More on the leaner side, but I prefer that. Pork rib was just average. Nothing remarkable about the green beans. They were good, still. The jalapeño pinto beans were great! I really enjoyed how they had enough jalapeños in them to have a really good kick, unlike some other places that tend to play it safe on the mild side. The condiment bar had all the Texas staples: pickles, jalapeños, pickled red onions. The dessert bar had banana pudding and peach cobbler. Being from Georgia, I had to try the peach. It was a crumble cobbler, but what made it stand out was the rich butter taste of the crumble crust. Most BBQ restaurant cobblers just get a check in the box, but not Hutchins. Theirs was really good. All In all, my experience at Hutchins was great. The food lived up to the reviews, and I can see why it has such a strong following. I'll definitely try it again the next time I'm in town. Maybe I'll finally bite the bullet and swing one of those monster beef ribs!

Wish I had taken a picture!! Ordered the stuffed potato, stuffed with brisket. Oh boy! So delicious, so much food. Wonderful people. We were greeted and the doors were held and our trays were carried for my friend. The restaurant was clean and tables were cleaned properly and trash was picked up and hauled out promptly.

Possibly one of my new favorite spots for barbecue. We got there around 1pm on a Friday and while there was a line that led outside, it moved pretty quickly! The servers were all so friendly and efficient. And it was pretty easy to find a table. And I love the buffet style serving area where you could just help yourself to whatever fixings and sauces, etc. The brisket was delicious and tender. And had a pretty perfect ratio of meat to fat. The ribs were good but not my favorite. While also pretty tender, I wish it was juicier. The Texas Twinkies are a must get though! Bacon wrapped jalapeño pepper stuffed with cream cheese and brisket, must I say more? The sides that stood out to me were the fried okra and the potato casserole. The Cole slaw wasn't my favorite. And the mac and cheese was really good but had a very strong artificial cheese flavor (which I do like but with the heaviness of everything else it was kind of a lot). And for those dining in, free unlimited dessert! Extra points for if you're able to catch the desserts right when they switch out the tray to a new batch. Banana pudding, a classic and delicious. I thought the peach cobbler was pretty good. And the soft serve was insane, I loved it.

We were brought to Hutchins BBQ while staying with some family in the McKinney area. They knew we had been to Terry Blacks and wanted to to try out Hutchins and see what we think. We arrived and there was a little line but not that long of a wait. The line moves quickly as you walk up to the aroma of delicious BBQ. I looked over the menu and was a bit shocked at the prices. They were cheaper than I had expected. Now I will say my husband and I spent over $100 on lunch at terry Blacks but we got dinner at Hutchins for less than $50. Granted one item at Terry Blacks that we did not try at Hutchins was the beef rib. So that I cannot compare price or taste to. We got the pork ribs, brisket, jalapeno sausage, a Texas Twinkie, creamed corn, green beans and mac n cheese. It was more than enough food to feed my husband and I. The pork ribs were absolutely amazing! I fell in love with the green beans and mac n cheese. Our brisket was good, but we tried a cousin's brisket that was the marinated one and OMG that was so tender and melted in your mouth. So good! Overall I would say Hutchins is better than terry Blacks, but I haven't had the beef rib to compare that yet. Till next time!

Soooooo worth the hour and a half drive!! The Texas Twinkie it's self alone would even be worth the drive!!! We had the family meal, which was as 2 lbs of meat and 3 sides. We went with 1 lb USDA Prime brisket which was quality meat) and 1 lb ribs ( which was fall of the bone tender and seasoned perfectly). Our sides were fried okra ( freshly made and once again seasoned perfectly!) the French fries were seasoned nice, and the potato casserole was off the hook good ( no need to add extra seasoning to their food here!!! The service was great. The servers were very playful and friendly and very photogenic if I might add lol the employees were constantly staying on to of the conditions of the restaurant and made sure that it was in tip top shape, very clean and welcoming feel to it!

Good customer service, everyone was friendly and helpful. The brisket and ribs were a bit salty, but still delicious. Plenty of parking, thankfully there was no line at 4PM. It is a bit dark in some of the seating areas. Clean bathroom. All of the employees are nice, they will swing by your table if you need anything. I love the peach cobbler and banana pudding, great desserts after loading up on some good Texas BBQ!

Yelp
Hutchins has the BEST food around!! If you are wanting a treat, buy yourself a "Texas Twinkie". It's a huge jalapeño pepper stuff with cream cheese and brisket, wrapped with bacon. It's phenomenal. Be prepared for a good wait time (we waited 30 minutes and that was a pretty quick one), but it is SO worth it. Staff is attentive, they offer samples in the line while you're outside. Can't say enough good things about this business! The price reflects the service and quality of the food! It is worth it!

The food at Hutchin's has been amazing for years. I've been going the their McKinney and Frisco locations time after time and the food is always great. The baby back ribs and pulled pork are my favorite and their sides are delicious too.

The brisket. Oh my goodness this brisket!! It just falls apart as you scoop it up. I think I'll always be pleasantly surprised every time I visit Hutchins. I honestly don't even call myself a BBQ girlie. Oh, but I'm a Hutchins girlie. Don't let the long line intimidate you! It moves steadily and the wait is 100% worth it.

This place has blown up over social media recently and has been in tough competition with Terry Blacks, here's my honest opinion: 1) You gotta get there before they open.. they open at 11 and we got there at 10:45am and there was already a line.. as we were there the line just kept growing around the building.. 2) I got "The Daily Special" which is a chopped brisket sandwich with 2 sides. The brisket was sooo good!!! Mac and cheese slapped! The corn I wasn't a big fan of (I loved Terry Blacks Sweet corn wayyy more!!!) Brisket was top notch - great bark and soooo tender and a very consistent flavor. Sausage was absolutely bangin - crisp bite, good flavor, jalapeño cheese had great cheese in it. 3) Service was incredible. Very tentative staff and all super friendly 4) Condiment bar was immaculate they had thick fresh bread not bagged bread, home made pickles and fresh onions and jalapeños. 5) They don't have Coke products, Pepsi only. I got root beer. 6) Free Dessert if you dine in- soft serve ice cream machine (vanilla, mixed and chocolate), peach cobbler, and banana pudding 7) overall- I would say it's better then Terry Blacks. Terrys I would say is a 8/10 Hutchins is like a 9/10 ! Would definitely visit again!!

When I want BBQ, Hutchins is always my first choice. I've tried other places around town but nothing compares. The line is even worth the wait.

Went with a group of friends and Hutchins never fails to impress! We got a pound of brisket and half a pound of jalapeño and cheese sausages. The guy was super nice who cut the meat, really friendly and funny! For sides, we got the mac n cheese, potato salad, potato casserole, which tasted more just like mashed potatoes. The sides were super delicious too, the mac n cheese was super hot and fresh, creamy and delicious! The potato salad was also creamy with the flavor of fresh dill and really helped cut through the grease from bbq! Potato casserole was okay, still good but nothing stellar. The meat was AMAZING! Brisket is fork tender, packed with smoky flavor, and the same with the sausage. Meat from Hutchins is always juicy, smoky, and tender. If you dine in, you can eat their desserts for free, which include a peach cobbler, banana pudding, and ice cream, all of which are delicious too. The ice cream is the nice and creamy kind, which pairs amazingly with the peach cobbler, and the banana pudding is also great! Service is awesome and the food is even better! It is a little more expensive, at least~$33/ pound for brisket, but a pound is a lot of meat, enough for 2 with sides, and this is the best bbq in Texas. Definitely worth it!!!

January 2024 Wednesday night (around 6:30/40ish) Post- Keith Lee (Keith Lee Effect) We visited pre-Keith lee but they were out of Texas Twinkies- the only thing I wanted-- so we went elsewhere. Crowd: It was packed- drive thru was out in the street. We drove around and lucked up on a parking spot. The line was right at the entry door when we arrived. It was maybe a 20 min wait in line. Staff: Awesome. Friendly. Fast. We even had a couple of staff members walk around and ask if we needed anything. They quickly sanitized / cleaned tables when people got up. Food ordered: 2 Texas twinkles (5/5) $5.99 each Mac and cheese (2.5/5) $3.99 Pinto beans (brisket) (3/5 first.4/5 after. See below) $3.99 1 slice of beef brisket (4/5) $7.48 ........Total $29.60 I couldn't make it through both Texas Twinkies. But I wouldn't be able to come back without ordering again. Mac and cheese was thick. And had a sharp taste. I don't think I would have to have it again. Pinto beans --- omg I wish they had baked beans--- they were "ok". What set them off was adding bbq sauce. Yep- add bbq sauce. Brisket was expensive for a slice- but it was seasoned and TENDER. Desserts: (complimentary when dining in) My guest had the peach cobbler. Took one bite and threw it away. Banana pudding was banana pudding. 3.8/5. If you go through the drive thru for desserts, there's a charge. Cons: I do not like that the sides and desserts etc are self serve. At first, I saw an employee behind them serving, and then they left. People started scooping themselves. All I could think of was germs- since there were people coughing. Then, to get bbq sauce, there's a possibility that it drips off the ladle onto someone's hand and into the bbq sauce. Yea, that's my only con. Well? That and it's far out. Pros: the line moved fast, the people were friendly, the food was great. Would I return? Yes-- but I rarely crave bbq

Amazing brisket, and I don't even like brisket. Best banana pudding I've ever had in my life. Excellent service, especially from manager Shahir. We had a few food allergies in our group, and he went over and beyond to triple check the items we wanted to order had no allergens. He was just so gracious and friendly about it, which is not common at most restaurants when it comes to allergies. Thanks Shahir for your help and friendly smile !

Went with some friends who were out of state, and the experience was amazing for all parties involved. Despite the business of the establishment at 12 PM on a Thursday morning, we got our food quickly! The staff were friendly especially towards first time guests and despite the cafeteria style quick service we were checked in on regularly. Went home smelling like wood smoke afterwards but it was worth it. As far as the food, Hutchins takes first on my list of BBQ places so far; deliciously tender and juicy brisket fully saturated with flavors and the flavor of the smoke shines through wonderfully. The Mac and Cheese was also phenomenal. 11/10, highly recommend, especially to tourists, I will be returning again eagerly.

If you're looking for the best nap of your life then hutchins is a MUST stop. Their perfectly moist and tender brisket will on the menu for my last meal. The workers are really patient and helpful despite being very busy. Don't forget to dine in and help yourself to their unlimited banana pudding and peach cobbler. Be prepared of there being a line approx 30 mins for us on a Saturday. We got the brisket(10/10), pork ribs(9/10), and jalapeno sausage(7/10). The brisket and pork ribs were super tender and needed only three chews before you're left wanting more. The sausage was flavorful but kind of tough on the skin but amazing nonetheless. For the sides the coleslaw (8/10), creamed corn (8/10), and mac and cheese (7.5/10) we very good as well. Though the mac and cheese was reminiscent of the kraft flavor it was still good with the meats. If you wanted to try peak texas bbq make sure hutchins is on your list! and if you plan to run a marathon then hutchins is not your place!

They have some amazing BBQ here! I absolutely LOVE Texas BBQ (and tacos - the absolutely best of both in the US!) and really like what they have in Austin and San Antonio, but this place really rivals the best of what I've had in those other areas of TX! Service was incredibly great too! I walked in right around 2PM, just after the lunch rush, but they were still packed in the dining room. The guy cutting and serving meat offered a tasted of everything. Their beef ribs were tender, juicy, and sooo very flavorful - Best I've ever had! Their jalapeño cheddar sausage was excellent, nice & spicy, and perfect! Best I've ever had! Their pork ribs were tender, flavorful, and far from dry! Be sure to get some sides! They offer 2 styles of beans, I chose their jalapeño beans and the folks said "they're spicy today" and I said "Excellent!" They sure were spicy and tasted great! Save room for dessert - it's free! They have soft serve to go over their amazing peach cobbler and they also offer banana pudding - AMAZING!! Highly recommend stopping in!

This place is awesome! Inside is a typical BBQ joint but there's nothing typical about the food. The food was super delicious! We had the brisket and ribs and they were amazing. Sides we enjoyed were the broccoli salad, coleslaw, fries and fried okra. The service was also good but you come here for the wonderful food! Everything was Great!
