Award-winning BBQ known for brisket, ribs, and Texas Twinkies
"A few decades since first firing up its smokers, Hutchins is still one the biggest names in DFW barbecue. The menu sports all the classics, but the star here is the famous Texas Twinkie. It’s a jumbo, bacon-wrapped jalapeño that’s mercifully stuffed with chopped brisket and cream cheese rather than whatever’s inside a regular Twinkie. Don’t leave without trying it. Note that there’s also a Frisco location and a separate Original Roy Hutchins BBQ in Trophy Club that was born in 2023 from a family feud. Feel free to pick sides if you like drama." - nicolai mccrary, kevin gray, nick rallo
"A reliably consistent barbecue joint popular with locals who visit multiple times a week. The lean brisket is a favorite, and the cream of corn is especially beloved for its rich flavor. Overall, the spot is praised for dependable, well-executed Texas barbecue where quality doesn’t feel hit-or-miss." - Courtney E. Smith

"The former co-owner of this barbecue spot, Dustin Blackwell, invented Texas Twinkies as a way to use the leftover bits of brisket. Blackwell stuffed jalapeños with cream cheese and brisket bits, then wrapped them in bacon and grilled them, creating one of the great food joys in life — even TikTok food guy Keith Lee agrees. Hutchins is one of the great barbecue names in North Texas, and this item only scratches the surface of what it has to offer. There is a second location in Frisco." - Eater Staff
