We have had ribs from all over the country, but none can compare to Tender Smoke House in Frisco,TX, 4226 Preston Road. Not only do they fall off the bone, but melted in our mouths, the sauce to die for. The baked beans, cold slaw are perfecto. Last, ordered a baked potato that was truly Texas grown, so big it freaked us out. Next time you want some awesome barbecue, Tender Smokehouse is the place to,go.
Amazing food. It is a definite place to return to. Perfect for a casual date night as well. The beef ribs are the best I’ve had in a long time. And the turkey…you can actually taste the smoke. The whole meal was awesome.
Loved our experience at Tender Smokehouse. Everything was really delicious, but our favorite was the pulled pork. The potato salad was quite unique, as well. The mac and cheese was the perfect combination of “soupy” and tasty – we loved it.
First time here and I came because of all the positive reviews. The food and service are indeed good.
They are known for their brisket so I got a 1/2 lb along with a 1/4 lb of sausage and an individual BBQ baked beans side.
The brisket was excellent and ‘tender’. I really liked the BBQ sauce. Not spicy like Rudy’s. The sausage was standard. The baked beans were incredible. I think there was more meat than beans 😍.
Lonnie was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Place was spacious, clean, and fun. The food was excellent, although i would like if they had a small plate option for lunch, but i digress. I was greeted by 3 different people and my food came out quickly. Lonnie told the manager Derrick that it was my first time there and he brought me a little treat with my food. The food was amazing and just walking in made my mouth water from the smell. Highly recommend. Thanks for the great experience during my lunch break!
