My toddler obviously didn't finish it and even though I wasn't hungry, the meat was so tender and packed with a lot of flavor that I couldn't help but nibble it until we were finished. Great customer service and cute little patio to enjoy with the kiddos. We were able to grab the jenga and play together while waiting for our meals which came out really fast especially with how busy they were. Will definitely come back to try other things on their menu!

I got the Frito pie b/c there are so many rave reviews on Yelp for it, but it really didn't knock my socks off. The brisket was my meat of choice and the smoke flavor just lingers thickly on my tongue. Like not only did they smoke it, but added some kind of smoked paprika or smoked ancho chili powder. The macaroni was mushy, cooked way too long. The beans were just filler and tasted like ranch style beans. I still enjoyed the complimentary toast. The frozen margarita was gross.

We stopped into this restaurant after hanging out in the Dallas area, and we were immediately…read moregreeted when we walked in. My husband and I had never been to a BBQ joint quite like this before. At first, we were looking around like, "Is this a buffet?" Lol The restaurant has a really cool Western BBQ feel, and you can smell the BBQ smoking before you even walk inside. The meat is weighed by the pound, and we ordered brisket, baked potatoes, creamed corn, green beans, and a brisket-stuffed pepper wrapped in bacon. One of the coolest things is that if you eat inside the restaurant, dessert is FREE! They had peach cobbler, banana pudding, and ice cream. The brisket was AMAZING, and so were the creamed corn, green beans, peach cobbler, and those bacon-wrapped stuffed peppers! We really enjoyed everything we tried. This was such a fun experience and some seriously good BBQ. I can't wait to return!

This has been my must go to twice a year when I visit a friend in McKinney for quite sometime now…read more What started out as the most amazing barbecue I've ever had has unfortunately come up short the last two times I've been there. Back in March I excitedly went to enjoy my usual brisket sandwich and green beans to find out they changed those to an entirely different recipe. Greasy and over powered with bacon and sweetness ruined what once was the best side they had there. Upon my most recent visit back two weeks ago I was hoping to find that they maybe realized they had made a mistake and went back to the original green beans but unfortunately that was not the case. Still those nasty greasy green beans. Eww! Also, my brisket sandwich this time was a no go. I asked for the lean cut but had to pick it apart to remove all of the fat in it which then made the bun super soggy. I was so disappointed again :( I'm not really sure what changes are being made and why but some things just need to stay the same. If it's not broke, don't try and fix it...

Everyone who works here is always so helpful. The covered patio's wooden picnic tables are always the seats to go first. You order at the bar and they give you a number if you're dining in. There's a fantastic general store inside that sells their own pickled veggies and meats. There's also some nice bottled sodas too. We've only been for lunch. The dinner rush is supposed to be their busiest. It makes sense since they have live music in the evening. Match that up with the beer, string lights, and spring/summer nights for a perfect dinner. We'll have to be back to try it sometime! I have to admit - I've had many sandwiches in my life and what really made this was the ciabatta. I'm not a big fan of the bread because it's either too dense or there's too much of it and I'm eating 95% bread and 5% sandwich filling. The Texas wagyu steak sandwich was probably one of the best steak sandwiches I've ever had.

I generally think food trucks are a novelty, and they're overpriced with crappy bang-for-buck. Usually. Triple G knocked my socks off. And I stumbled onto them (almost literally) when they visited Witherspoon Distillery. No reviews or seeking out a highly rated whatever. Just dumb luck. When I think BBQ, I think pretty unhealthy - even if I'm a fan. Something that's extra awesome about this truck is the food is NOT heavy or super unhealthy. The BBQ chicken was SOOOOOOO good. Oh MAN, it was perfect. Wonderful seasoning. Fairly large white meat breast. Great seasoning. Hit the spot. The thinly sliced sausage wrap thing (I forget the name) wasn't greasy and it was delicious. The BBQ baked beans were awesome. They were greatness. The corn mix was delicious. Everything was on point, including the service and wait time. No brisket on our visit, which is my normal BBQ go-to, but I didn't miss it at all. Everything was so good - and surprisingly healthy. Need more convincing? You're contributing to a good cause. When there's a disaster, Triple G shows up and serves free food to disaster victims. Straight up. How freakin awesome is that?!? There's even a 501(c)3 label on the truck. And yet, somehow, it's one of the most affordable food trucks I've ever eaten at, especially for bang-for-buck. Both of our meals were less than $10, and it was plenty of food. One meat (sizable serving) and two sides (which were plenty). Less than $20 total before tip, this was a steal for the quality and quantity of food. This outfit is awesome. HIGHLY recommended!

Yearby's is the greasy spoon hole-in-the-wall you been dreaming of. We arrived Sunday Aug 31 2025 at 11:30 am thinking we'd be late but they moved up the open time at noon. We were maybe 8th in line. Wanted to deduct points for being out of turkey and hot links before they even opened but the food was just too dang good! The brisket is top tier. Have had better, but not by much. Great bark. Perfect tenderness. Adequate smoke. What more do you need? The smoked chicken though, wow wow wow... if you leave without getting some you really did yourself a disservice. The smoked meatloaf was a pleasant treat. It wasn't dry, the glaze was superb, and they gave you a lot of it! The potato salad and mac and cheese weren't spectacular but definitely did the job and anchored down the meal. Everything on platter was 60 bucks. I've spent more for worse. Get to Pilot Point and give em a try!

"An hour's drive for BBQ this good feels like cheating the laws of physics."…read more TL;DR: Yearby's BBQ and Waterice is a brisket-and-elote blessing straight outta the smokehouse heavens, run by Sabrina and CJ who know their way around both a pit and a frozen treat. Friendly folks, flavor-packed plates, and a mango waterice that deserves its own holiday. Twelve out of ten, will burn more gas for this again. An hour on the road is nothing when the horizon promises smoke and good folks. I rolled into Yearby's at 1:30 with an appetite big enough to make a rack of ribs nervous. Turns out, I was late to the party. The earlier crowd had already cleaned house on a few menu items, but brisket and turkey were still calling my name. I grabbed both, plus brisket elote, potato salad, and slaw. Let me tell you, that chopped brisket was tender enough to make a grown man question life choices and the turkey had a peppery kick that played nice with every bite. The elote? A messy, glorious mountain of corn, cotija, sauce, and brisket piled high. It was the kind of side dish that could run for mayor and win in a landslide. Potato salad and slaw backed it up like seasoned pros, no weak links on this plate. The dining room was full but there were still a few open spots waiting for hungry travelers. I snagged one and boxed up half the feast so my wife, the reigning Side Dish Queen of Texas, could hold court over the flavors later. She approved, which in my household is the BBQ equivalent of earning a Michelin star. Banana pudding wasn't on the menu, but the mango waterice saved the day. Cool, tangy, and perfect for a man who just wrestled brisket and elote into submission. I might've looked like a kid on summer break eating that thing, and I didn't care one bit. Sabrina and CJ know how to feed a crowd and treat folks like family. Yearby's is the kind of place that makes you start planning your next visit before you even leave the parking lot. Stamp collected. Only 37 more to go on this Texas Monthly Top 50 trek. If happiness had a flavor, it'd taste like Yearby's chopped brisket with a mango waterice chaser.
