Stopped by this place after leaving slick city. The customer service was good . I wish the cashier would've explained how the sides work with the plates . We tried the 1/2 smoked chicken - ok Fried catfish - good Coleslaw- best thing on the menu Bake beans- straight out the can Okra- good Hushpuppies - ok Potatoes salad - ok Green beans - straight out the can The restaurant is clean and someone comes to the table for anything additionally.
I searched high and low for rib tips and finally found them. We drove from Denton and I fully expecting to be disappointed given rib tips are not standard TX barbecue. I was thoroughly surprised!! The rib tips were well seasoned and I could taste the smoke. They were tender and ample in size. I don't usually like BBQ sauce, but this was more sweet than spicy which is right up my alley. The sauce was thick and held on to the meat well, but honestly it wasn't needed. I ordered a large rib tip that I expected would come with bread, it did not. I asked for bread and the bread was not cheap. It was like Wonder Bread or Sara Lee!! The brisket was just ok for me...there's a lot of brisket in TX! Good bark, tender, all the makings of a brisket, just not a stand out. The sides were just ok, but on par with other BBQ restaurants. For me, I'd rather they do their main menu item very well! And from what I tasted, they do!! What would have made it a 5-star experience? A shorter wait! Yes, they warned me in the beginning and yes there are signs stating they make everything fresh but that model doesn't make sense. Nothing on their menu can be made fresh except fries, so a 45min wait is tragic.
I love supporting BOBs! Especially ones that serve a delicious food and friendly hospitality! I tried the Mississippi style catfish, and it did not disappoint! I was not a huge fan of the tartar sauce as I was not expecting it to be sweet. I also tried the brisket, Mac and cheese; however, I felt like it needed a little bit more flavor. I also tried the green beans And same comment on flavor. I ordered my mom the rib tips to go with beans and potato salad, and she absolutely loved it! We will definitely be back to support!
Personally, my husband and I have frequented this establishment many times. Today's visit was different as myself and chapter members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc - Delta Alpha Alpha Zeta Chapter had THE BEST experience while there. From customer service to awesome food and even greater hospitality. We recommend this place above any BBQ in any city!
We walked in as a party of 15, we are on vacation from Oklahoma, this business was really about to close but the owner Mr Earnest came out to greet us, shook our hands, took pictures and just genuinely made us feel welcome, like family!! The food was great, I didn't hear one complaint. If you are in the Ft Worth/Dallas area please stop by and meet Mr Earnest and grab you some great BBQ!!
After finding out the farmer's market was closed for the winter, we had to make our trip out to Frisco worth it so we found this place nearby and oh my goodness what a great find! Now we have our usual BBQ place but this definitely gave it a run for it's money and my boyfriend and I think that this might become our usual! Everything is made to order so when you get your food, everything is hot, crispy and prepped just for you! But before we dive into the food, let's just talk about the incredible service we had. Every single person that works at this restaurant just makes you want to come back the next day with how friendly and inviting they were. We even met the owner who was serving food, wiping tables and greeting people with a giant smile when they walked through the door. He welcomed us to the family and we felt right at home! Now, onto the food. I usually take better pictures than this but I was so eager to jump into eating so please excuse the mediocrity. When I tell you every single thing we ate was beyond our expectations, I am not exaggerating. None of the meat needed barbecue sauce (even though the bbq sauce is delicious!!) All cuts were seasoned so well! The ribs were moist and falling off the bone, the sausage had the right saltiness and bite, the brisket was moist, the catfish was fried to lovely crispiness with breading so perfectly seasoned, all the sides were enjoyed thoroughly and last but not least that was some of the best garlic toast I've ever had. At bbq restaurants it's usually just white bread either plain or barely toasted just tossed on there but that was really one of the highlights! So happy to be a part of the fam, definitely one of the best bbq restaurants and experiences I've ever had!
Sides were very good and tasted fresh. The gentleman that brought our food out was super friendly and nice. Two stars for these two points. This place is empty during lunchtime on a Saturday for a reason: it's extremely overpriced. The portions were very small and the meat itself was very fatty and parts were very dry. The loaded baked potato included cheese that wasn't real - it was Velveeta or a similar fake cheese product. There were three of us that dined here, and the total including tip was $75. Way too expensive to bring the rest of the family, especially as the portions aren't shareable. It could still be worth it if the food was good, but sadly it wasn't. I would also suggest that the lady taking our order be a bit more patient and nice. There was no one behind us, but she acted a bit annoyed to have to stand there while we made our order decisions. She offered no helpful suggestions, and never even cracked a smile. This location is right next to Frisco Fieldhouse, which usually has hundreds of people in and out most days. The fact that this place is empty is a shame. Ambiance is nice. The place is inviting and there are plenty of tables to sit at.
Earnest B's BBQ: A Carnivore's Dream Come True! My husband and I were craving barbecue, so we headed to Earnest B's--and let me tell you, Hutchins who?! This place blew us away. As BBQ connoisseurs living that carnivore life, we skipped the sides and went straight for the meat. And wow every bite was a masterclass in flavor. * Brisket: Moist, tender, and packed with smoky goodness. No sauce needed. * Ribs: Cooked to perfection with a clean pull and bold flavor. Juicy, not dry, and absolutely addictive. * Cheddar Jalapeño Sausage: Don't sleep on this one. It's spicy, cheesy, and unforgettable. The staff? Phenomenal. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Mr. Earnest himself came by to check on us--talk about intentional hospitality! You can feel the pride and care in every detail. If you think you've had great BBQ, Earnest B's will raise the bar. Go taste it for yourself--you'll understand why we're hooked.
This place came highly recommended and I see why. Nice clean establishment. Not super friendly but polite. My food came out in a sufficient amount of time and it did not disappoint. That is probably one of the best ribs I ever had. The sides were fine, I did like the potato salad. The beans were ok, basic. Great bbq sauce, although the rib was cooked so well it could go without. I'm glad I rode down the street and tried this place out!
Me. B was kind enough to drop off the BBQ catering himself for a work event hosted at my house. The team was still bragging on his food the next week! Fantastic BBQ experience. His ribs, both pork and beef steel the show. The brisket was outstanding. Family run business and their love for the food and experience always come through. Don't miss that cobbler to finish the meal. Chef's kiss!!! One of my clear favorites in the area. He does a cooking with Mr B. experience once every three months. My wife purchased it for Father's Day and I just did it this past Saturday. Walked through his process on each of the major cuts, and you get the opportunity to enjoy the labor of love along the way. Delicious again. Thank you, great time!
Looking for some downhome BBQ? Come on down to Earnest B's BBQ in Frisco! This barbecue synagogue is rich with history and smoke from it's owner Pastor Ernest B, to smokers just out back! The walls are filled with awards and pictures that reflect the love and commitment that is put into every dish! Mrs. Shirley took our order and showed the hospitality that the south is none for! Checking on us as we worked our way through the healthy portions of juicy bbq(I'm getting to that in a minute)! Tyler did the rounds at every table. Offering a little chit chat to every customer to ensure their experience is top notch! The customer service here is on point and natural! My bbq connoisseur got a 1/2 chicken with fries and green beans. Oh my LORD that chicken was so juicy! When you cut into the breast, the juices start flowing. It was seasoned without being overly seasoned and had the right amount of smoke(it didn't even need any bbq sauce. However, if you'd like to indulge Earnest B's bbq sauce is vinegar based, with the perfect balance of sweet and tangy( none of the harsh stuff, usually reserved for all things pork). The fries were fresh and hot and the green beans were nicely seasoned(although a little heavy on the vinegar for me). I went with the catfish plate and BOY! 4 catfish fillets seasoned and breaded beautifully! When I broke a piece open, steam came rolling out it was so hot! It was crisp on the outside and succulent on the end side! Baked beans were sticky and sweet, with a hint of tang on the back. Paired with creamy potato salad and it was a winning plate! Stop by Earnest B's for a plate and a word! CHECK IT OUT!!
We had a wonderful meal of smoked chicken, chopped pork, brisket, pork ribs and polish sausage. Very cool at atmosphere of all the accolades Ernest has received through the years and friendly staff. We left full, happy and relaxed. Grateful for family owned restaurants like this. We'll definitely be back for more and to try other offerings of meats and sides.
The barbecue is always good. The mannerism of the employees and the owner are awesome and positive. The prices are reasonable. Services are spectacular.

I decided to check this establishment out based on a TikTok review, and I was not disappointed. For this visit, I had the rib tips and a pork sausage sandwich both of which were amazing. I asked the server what sides they were known for, and she recommended the potato salad. She was not wrong as this was as good as my momma would have made. The service in ambience were outstanding very clean and the staff was extremely courteous. I have a new spot. They have a new customer as I'm coming back for the catfish and the rest of the menu over the next several visits. read more

I had to write this review mid-chew lol I've never had brisket so moist and flavorful!!!! The smoked sweet hot bbq wings were delicious as well. But back to this brisket... I think I'm in love lol! I'm big on hospitality and they were very hospitable. I was acknowledged when I walked through the door and while I waited on my food Mr. Earnest greeted me with a warm welcome and handshake. The inside is cute and I enjoyed looking at all of the familiar faces on the wall. I'll definitely be back in the near future for the ribs and of course for a brisket fix. read more

This place is a hidden gem! The food is incredible, seasoned and prepared to perfection. With enough variety that they have something for every palate. I have never been disappointed with the food flavor, temperature or texture, always on point. Great location with ample parking and nice seating capacity for a nice size crowd. The best in Texas and without the hassle of waiting an hour outside. read more
Love supporting small businesses but these prices are INSANE!!!! $67 for two bbq plates with drinks-- this price point is absolutely not sustainable especially Rudy's literally right down the street. The meats were served in a fine chop, which is kinda unusual for chicken and pork (usually pulled) I'll post the pictures here and judge for yourself if worth $67 for Two plates. Ambiance inside is fine, this used to be a Dickeys and converted into dining area. Also a bit weird was the BBQ sauce is in a small/medium sized bullet, not nearly enough for a two meat plate- staff was kind enough to provide more. We met Earnest and he seemed like a great guy- the price point is just too high for us. read more

First visit, but it won't be the last! The food was amazing and full of flavor! My pictures don't tell the REAL story! Everything was delicious! Great atmosphere! Customer service was stellar! The owner, Earnest B, actually visited every table to say hello and to make sure that you were enjoying your food! Now, how many places have you visited where the owner actually comes to your table?!!! You are missing out if you don't try this restaurant! Thanks so much for the experience, Mr. Earnest!! read more

Forget about the mouth-watering, juicy, tender, delicious, BBQ here. Don't worry about the perfectly prepared side dishes that complement your meat. Oh sure, you will (begrudgingly) leave Earnest B's with a full and happy tummy. When you dine here, you will feel loved. Earnest himself was there to greet us, and treat us like family. In fact, all employees do!! They will make sure you have a wonderful meal, and you can taste the love in every bite. If you are anywhere around the Frisco area..... this BBQ place is a MUST!!! Thank you for hosting us , Earnest!!! read more

Not much to say besides some of the best BBQ I have ever had. The chicken was moist, meat perfectly cooked, with an amazing flavorful crust. Sauce was top notch. Employees checked on us multiple times, making sure we have everything we need. Definitely recommend this location read more

I've been to a lot of BBQ restaurants in the DFW area and this restaurant is in my top three! I ordered chopped brisket, sausage, mac n cheese and potato salad. Everything was great! I do wish they had sliced brisket as well. The staff was very nice and it gave me a hometown feel. The reason for four stars...the wait. They have a sign that states something like this isn't a fast food restaurant etc. It was almost an hour wait at about 2pm. I would think everything I ordered had to be cooked on the grill for hours before and the mac n cheese and potato salad should be prepared in large quantities. I'll definitely go back but I will have to make sure I have more time. read more

The rib tips are so gooooood. Lots of flavor and smoky. The sauce is sweet but not overly sweet. Tender and fall off the bones. Brisket sandwich was good. Even the sides are good. French fries and the baked beans. Baked beans tasted clean, still pinkish red and not overly sweet or sour. Even the bun is good. Buttery and grilled good. Earnest is super friendly. Totally recommend this place read more
We went here to try Ernest's famous BBQ. We've been texting a week before our visit, because I want my son and daughter in law see the place for their son's baptism reception. Unfortunately, they declined to hold it here. We ordered their Texas BBQ plates. We ordered kids plates, too. The chopped brisket was not moist, it's dry. But we'll marinated and taste good. Service is great and serving staff were very helpful and friendly. I never expected that this BBQ place is inside and between two car dealerships. The place is well lighted and clean. Parking not a problem. read more
Who's writing these reviews? They're not accurate. Brisket is not good. It's dry and rubbery. Sausage was strange. Sides are very basic. Prices are on the higher side. Customer service is minimal. This place has a LONG way to go to be rated what it is getting. read more

Earnie the owner was there. Really nice guy. Very attentive. The food was really fresh, really tasty. Inside was super clean. There were about 35 people inside. I was taking a quick lunch and I was in an out in 30 mins. Only suggestion is save some chicken drippings and fold it in with the chopped chicken, but it was still really good regardless. read more
