Very impressed with this Frisco BBQ place ! SO glad i stopped and had lunch here this week. No doubt that this is my new go-to place for BBQ.I had the brisket plate ( they call it dry , if you want lean ) with a side of BBQ beans and potato salad. ( comes with a slice of buttered toast, sweet pickles and onions ). It was wonderful ! I wish they offered chicken, but turkey is their offset. Next time I will order the ribs. The BBQ beans were fabulous with pieces of brisket mixed in, and the potato salad was unusual ( not chunky ) but very good as well. The brisket was lean and flavorful. ... all of it was flavorful and their " Tender" BBQ sauce was superb as well.The staff took great care and were very attentive.The seating was comfortable and booths were large. Clean tables, floors and seating. Great ambiance, music in the background and many big screens with sports on, and neither was too loud.If you love BBQ, then this is the place to go. I will be back often!

Brisket tender I should have been specific and asked for less fat.Bbq beans spicy kick with meat and onion in it.Plan on trying their breakfast.Spacious place, diverse seating. Service was great and efficient, light crowd. Love the bbq sauce!Decided to try the breakfast. Bacon and eggs are good. Pancake is ok. Syrup too sweet for my palette!Service again is great! Staff friendly and professional!

Oh my. What HUGE beef ribs you have. And they don't even charge by weight! It's a solid one pound of meat for $36. And they have beef ribs late into the night too. Amazing.Everything else was solid too. Shout out to the pork ribs which were legit tender and fall off the bone.My only personal gripe is that I wish they had more options for sides. I like to have something green when I get BBQ and that wasn't really an option here unfortunately.

I've been a fan of their Little Elm location, often stopping by after a day at Little Elm Beach, and it never disappoints. I haven't been in a while due to the change of season. This time, I decided to check out their Frisco spot for breakfast since it's closer to me--and wow, it was still as great as the other location.The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with a spacious and homey feel that makes you want to stay a while.Food:- Potatoes: Absolutely amazing! They're perfectly seasoned, though I did notice the portion size here is slightly smaller compared to the Little Elm location.- Pancakes: Delicious! They're fluffy and flavorful, and I swear the butter here tastes better, like a higher quality butter, than the Little Elm location.- Brisket Sandwich: Another hit! Tender, smoky, and packed with flavor.I have yet to try anything bad from Tender Smokehouse. Whether you're in Little Elm or Frisco, this place is a must-visit for amazing food and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Great service, food was tasty. A couple varieties of sauce so you can have it sweet or spicy. The meat was tender and not dry. The fries were delicious. Indoor and outdoor seating options. Would be nice for a group.

Great bbq spot in Frisco area! The place is spacious and great for big groups. The price was reasonable. We tried their brisket, ribs, and jalapeño sausages. Highly recommend all of them. We ordered Mac n cheese and beans for the sides. I would say they were just okay nothing too special. Service was good and friendly!

Went to lunch here the day after the January 2025 freeze / snow. They were open and so nice/ welcoming! Food was delicious, plus, since we mentioned it was our first time, we got a free cup of banana pudding (Yum!)! There is lots of indoor and outdoor (patio) seating, county music playing (at a low/ acceptable volume ), and staffing walking around to assist where needed. A very positive experience overall!

This is a solid 3.5/5 i wasn't totally impressed but the food was decent. The baked beans was pretty spicy just in case anyone isn't into that. But i did enjoy them. Meat brisket could've had more flavor. The jalapeño sausage were okay as well.
