Lockhart Smokehouse

Best BBQ you can find anywhere. Easy to get to from the DART Rail (Red Line). Didn't need to rent a car for this visit from Houston to Dallas.Coming from Houston, I know BBQ, and Lockhart Smokehouse is one of the best. Go here. Eat. A lot. I recommend the brisket. You won't be disappointed.

Awesome service but the brisket was dry!That's all. If you enjoy dry brisket this is the place to go. Mac and cheese was average. Honestly very disappointed. Was today just an off day? I don't know, but I won't be back.

Was recommended to come here for some Texas barbecue. The menu is actually pretty limited, but everything I tried was excellent. I had the brisket, which was a little fatty for my liking, but once I cut off the fat I didn't want, the crust was awesome and the sauce provided was so tasty. I also got the deviled eggs (not my fave) and the spicy mac & cheese (so good, and definitely southern spicy!). Also, lucky for me, Big Red is in the fountain machine here as well.If you're looking for some no frills BBQ, this is the place for you!

Visiting from California and took the grandkids bowling and to see a movie in Plano today. Found a BBQ place that had good reviews. As we walked in the lady knew we had never been there before. She was very nice and explained everything. So you order by the pound and order what sides you want. You eat in paper no plates. They have an upstairs and downstairs. Really cute little place with a family vibe. We had brisket and ribs. The sides were beans, potato salad, and Mac n cheese. Everything was so good.

Grey brisket is never good. Absolutely flavorless. Sausage okay. Beans were delicious. Beer was tasty. The bartender was awesome and noticed the brisket was over cooked. I really appreciate her going out of her way. Definitely a bar vibe. Be prepared for smoke.

This is a must go if you're in the area and I can't emphasize enough how good this BBQ is. This is my 3rd time here and from now on anytime I'm visiting my friends we will be coming here...everything is delicious and the help is professional and the decor typical of a roadside restaurant simply fantastic.

The downtown Plano location is a great area to visit with different shops and restaurants so we were looking forward to trying Lockhart's. You come in and order your food at the counter about mid way in the restaurant. The vibe of the place is neat with the old building details peppered with lots of whimsical signs about Texas and BBQ (and don't let me forget the full bar along the west side). The staff was really friendly and helpful as we figured out all the items we wanted to try. Many of their sides are already served in plastic containers in a refrigerator for easy grab and go. We started with the brisket deviled eggs. They had great flavor and ended up being my favorite item of the meal. As for the meats, we went with the Whiskey Butter Turkey, Beef Brisket, Pulled Pork and a Jalapeño sausage. The turkey was really moist with great flavor that wasn't overwhelming on the whiskey. My husband favored the sausage for the flavor that had a good kick. One thing struck us as a bit odd as the pulled pork's flavor tasted like liquid smoke. They offer one BBQ sauce option at the table to use as your heart desires. We found the sauce to be decent and we didn't use a ton of it as we were enjoying the flavor of the meats.One thing is for sure, you won't leave here hungry!

10/10 when I come back smelling like the smoke house I know I stayed long to enjoy the meal. Would go again and again!

Texas BBQ at its finest !! I had to try a little bit of everything, I had the beef ribs, the Whiskey cooked Turkey, and the amazing brisket ! All these were amazing but My favorite was the Turkey because it's not any other Turkey I had at other spots. I tried some of their sides Mac n cheese, Banana Pudding, and their potato salad ! My favorite was the banana pudding! Wow I wish I ordered more of it ! They also had an open bar with tons of options on draft. Other than the food the cashier was helpful and restaurant was clean and tons of places to sit! Follow @cerogrubs on tiktok , Instagram, YouTube for the most delicious eats !

Some of the juciest, smokiest, perfectly tender, most flavorful ribs I've ever eaten!
