hutchins bbq

this is an amazing restaurant and well deserving of some of the, "best bbq" recognition that it has received.

we went here on a sunday in december for lunch and only had to deal with a short wait in line. we ordered the "all you can eat" meat plate and a brisket plate. if you order the "all you can eat" plate, you get the added benefit of having someone check to see if they can get more meat for you!!!gooddeal!

ok, this is the best bbq that we have ever had, highlighted by the moist, delicious, and flavorful brisket. even the leaner cuts of this meat were amazingly tender. the pulled pork was almost asgoodand didn't need any sauce or condiments to enhance it. turkey, hot links, ham, ribs...everything was great. the sides were above average for a bbq joint and were a welcome addition, but you don't go here for the sides, you go here for the meaty goodness that they can provide.

we paid a little over $35 for everything, which sounds a bit expensive for two people - but well worth it with the "all you can eat" deal. one of our top three restaurants of all time, regardless of food type. just amazing.

eeeexcellent!. my first time last week and wow it was all good. had lunch with ribs, brisket beans and slaw. normally i will find a flaw with one of those dishes. nope! all excellent. at first i thought the sauce was a bit sweet but came around with what came through later on the palate. reallygoodjalapeno cornbread too. i shall return soon.

fantastic bbq!. had opportunity to visit hutchins bbq this week. it was fantastic. the brisket was moist, had great bark and great flavor. the spare ribs were the best i've ever had. i liked them so good, i went back the next day for more!
they are agoodselection of sides and a great dessert bar that's included with your meal.
i'll go back....hopefully soon!

#15 stop in our texas monthly 50 bbq challenge.

ordered two baked potatoes w/ meat - one each in ham and brisket versions. also ordered jalapeno beans and a thing called a texas twinkie. they have free self-serve bananna pudding, peach cobbler, and soft-serve ice cream when dining in.

they have a rather nice condiments bar that has the tastiest smoked bacon bits you will ever run across. i am pretty sure they produce their own.

the baked potatoes were prettygoodsized. they cut off a couple slices of ham, chopped it, and mounded it on top. it was a bunch of meat adding about $5.00 to the price so the total was $8.99. the brisket model was done the same way.

the jalapeno beans were quite tasty with enough seasoning to make you notice that these didn't come from some plastic pouch warmed in hot water.

the texas twinkie is agoodsized jalapeno, seeded with the membrane removed, loaded with cream cheese and smoked brisket, wrapped up in bacon, rubbed with a sweet rub, and smoked. it ends up appearing like it is wrapped in candied bacon. all the flavors meld to produce a fantastic creation.

the free bananna pudding and peach cobbler was much better than what we paid for it (grin). in fact it wasgoodenough you might want to order some to take home. not a bad perk for dining in.

verygoodbbq. the ribs do fall off the bones as promised. the texas twinkies; jalapeños stuffed with brisket, and cream cheese and wrapped in bacon are amazing. i liked the corn bread better than the roll. the mac n cheese was delicious and the mashed potatoes had bacon and cheese. yum! the peach cobbler for dessert was verygoodtoo. it was worth the 45 minute wait at 3 pm on a saturday.

this is without a doubt the best bbq i can remember eating. i miss so much living in oklahoma for texas style bbq with salt and pepper rub,goodpinto bean and banana pudding to finish off. was driving from tulsa to san antonio and looked up bbq places off hwy 75 and hutchins was rated best so we stopped to give it a try. boy glad we did. had a sample of their brisket and sausage together and i was sold. love a place where you see them pull the meat out of the hot box then slice it in front of you.

definitely one of the best barbecue places in the north dallas area. i have been coming here for over four years (before and after the fire forced a temporary closure!) and hutchins has been consistentlygoodthe entire time. we've waited in line for 4 hours at franklin's in austin, and while that is amazing, our hometown joint of hutchins is still worthy to be mentioned in the same conversation as franklin's and pecan lodge.

the quality is the same dine-in or take out, but i always recommend eating there if it's your first time.

amazing food!! ... the flavour was soogoodthat my face involuntarily smiled as soon as i had my first bite ... the char on the meat coupled with the beautifully cooked meat itself was just a treat in every bite ... the brisket was amazing that you could cut it with a spoon ... the ribs were a little uneven with some cooked better than some others ... but pour on that generous bbq sauce and let the explosions in your mouth take you down the habit hole into wonderland ... huge queues can be expected so my suggestion is that if you live near by, use the drive thru

first trip to hutchins and ordered the two-meat plate (brisket & ribs) with green beans and fried okra as the 2 sides. the brisket was fantastic (asgoodas stanley's bbq in tyler) and the ribs were excellent. prices we reasonable given the portion sizes. fully recommend hutchins!

relocating to texas has been quite amazing in regards to bbq amongst a lot of other reasons, but the bbq is stellar. obviously, i do not have the knowledge, expertise or shear number of bbq joints tried as many who have lived here their whole lives, but hutchins in my early leader.

brisket- sometimes brisket is too smoky to me or too tough, but hutchins makes a brisket that is just unreal and i actually crave it. so tender. nice and salty and the fat just melts in your mouth.

pulled pork- nice and tender,goodseasoning

smoked stuffed jalapenos with brisket and cream cheese wrapped in bacon- sounds pretty basic, but the flavor profiles of this just pop in your mouth and bring together a perfect meld of flavors, so delicious.

potato salad- house-made and delicious with a hint of dill.

mac n cheese- nice and cheesy with flecks of bacon dotted throughout.

in closing, i love coming here and if you haven't been you definitely need to try it. it looks like i am in line with a lot of other people feelings by the sight of positive reviews.

  there was only a short line to wait in before we got to the counter where they served up the various meats.  we got into some small talk with one of the guys regarding people from new york – no, not all of them are rude, but stinks that he came across one that was.  all meats were hot and ready, we made sure of this by getting there within an hour of opening!  all sides were available as well, they did agoodjob of replenishing those items that were running low.  it appears that when you get the “all you can eat” meat you also get a lady who checks on your table to see if they can get you more!!  good deal and unexpected!   service:  4 / 5 nom:  when we arrived there was a short line and the guys cutting the meat were really friendly.  i agree…it’s too bad they ran into one rude dude from ny, i hope om was able to show them that he was the exception (not agoodexception) and not the norm!!  i asked for brisket and they were going to open a whole new one for me!!  they didn’t because i saw the parts i wanted right there on the cutting block.  which was agoodexperience because they actually listened to what i wanted and that was totally cool!!!!  so om got the all you can eat and a nice lady came around to check on him and brought him whatever he needed or wanted.  i was really impressed!!  service:  4/5 food om:   ok, i’m not the biggest bbq guy in the world…but my oh my.  want to know when a place is good?  when you crave their food the next day and go back for more.  and after that visit, you crave their food yet  again  the day af

good food. the food here was verygoodi tried just about everything the menu. the ladies in the seating area are fantastic it is a shame the people at the counter were not they seemed more intersted talking amongst themselves thst was very rude and unprofessional!!!

the texas monthly crew definitely made agoodcall including this place in their list of immaculate texas barbecue.

that was tasty. i love barbeque. i think we all do. and it's always hard to findgoodbarbeque. i mean the barbeque that makes you come back for more. that's hutchins. when i finished eating my brisket sandwich, i was already planning my next trip there. they asked if i wanted lean brisket or marbled, or a mix. the only thing i would criticize is the spicy barbeque sauce. it needs more spice. maybe some serrano peppers would do the trick. other than that, the food was delicious, right down to the toasted bun. that was some awfullygoodbread too. i'll certainly be going back - very soon.

place needs some work. the bbq meats are great. the sides are ok although i would prefer not to have had them. i thought after the fire they would have spent some time cleaning the place up but i guess not. it feels like it needs agoodcleaning and some updating.
