I will never come back because of the service i had experienced and it made my experience there 10 times worst!! Now i never want to go back there and order because i think she'll do something to our food or worse!

That all changed and was very noticeable during fathers day and especially this weekend during July 4th! The past few weeks when calling in to check for food availability or how busy it was, Ive noticed the same person answering every single one of my calls that I had to double take and make sure I called the right place! When I mentioned my concern about the massive line wrapped around the building during fathers day, mothers day and this weekend, the same lady named Kayla answered the phone. I was about to leave and she assured me that it would move fast and not to worry and that they had samples to ease some hunger while waiting. Sure enough, she was exactly right! To top it all off, after we got our food and sat down, she actually went above and beyond to come over to our table and check on us just because I had called to thank her for helping me from not leaving to the amazing customer service she provided. I let her know that is very rare now days and not to ever change that! I found out after meeting her that shes about to head out on maternity leave soon and honestly, I'm going to be a little sad when she leaves! She is a massive asset to the Hutchins team and can change the mood just by her smile and friendliness. Not only that, she gave a lot of good recommendations for trying some new foods at Hutchins and every time has been a good call! Give this girl a raise!! I wish Kayla the absolute best and I'll definitely be looking out for her when she gets back! Our server, I believe her name is Cynthia, was also fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed at the table. Excellent food, legendary customer service from Kayla, and a great experience overall! Its like our first time coming in each and every time.

My favorites are the Rooster Tails (fried onions) and the chips and queso, but the real stars of the menu are the burgers. They're always fresh, hot, and juicy. The free peanuts are a nice touch, and they offer daily specials as well. I really miss the Bloody Mary bar, which was always a lot of fun, but their Sunday special makes up for it with a generous double for just $7. There's always a game on TV, which is a welcome break when you've had enough politics to last a lifetime. The servers and bartenders are consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful. And whatever you do, don't forget to ask about the Yahtzee Roll at the bar. If you know, you know!

There's a full bar on both floors as well. The staff was pretty attentive, but the wait for food took a long time. I was happy the cocktails came pretty quickly and were well-made. The food was all pretty good for the most part not wowed but good! I have no complaints about my plate; it came with a great portion of food and was reasonably priced for BBQ. I ordered pulled pork and a side of corn and tomato salad and coleslaw. The sides were different from what I've had before, but I did enjoy them. Their coleslaw is more vinegar than mayo-forward. The pulled pork was well-seasoned, and the side of BBQ was the perfect match. My margarita tasted as if they made the mix in-house, and I prefer this. Store-bought mixers are usually either too sweet or too sour. However, if it is store-bought, I'm impressed! This was not a sweet margarita. My partner went for the Tennessee Texas Hot Sandwich; I did try it. There was hardly any heat despite it being their spicy chicken sandwich. I'm not sure if they make their chips in house but it seemed so.

We ordered their St. Louis Style Ribs, Brisket, Pork Rib Tips and Original Sausage. Our sides were their Smoked Mac & Cheese, Cranberry Walnut Slaw, and Southern Green Beans. The meats were cooked very well and tender, they had a nice Smokey flavor and rub. We favored their JP BBQ sauce over our meats - it was on the sweeter side with a good "tang" to it. The Southern Green Beans were average and not overly salted. I really like the slaw that had a sprinkle of cranberries and walnuts in it - very different but it worked! The Smoked Mac & Cheese had a nice flavor to it, nice and cheesy with just the right hint of smoke. Overall, we enjoyed the meal, the service, and the ambiance. We would definitely come back to this place.

Was in Denton, TX for work, looking for a cowboy steakhouse and Parker Brothers Trail Dust…read moreSteakhouse delivered. I started with some stuffed jalapeños. Followed up by a side salad with blue cheese dressing. My main course consisted of a 12 oz sirloin with beans and a loaded baked potato. I finished off with the peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Starting out, the jalapeños were good, but the bbq sauce dominated the flavor. The salad was a basic garden salad with iceberg lettuce et al. The steak was cooked medium rare as requested. It was flavorful and went well with potato and beans. The beans were cooked to perfection and the potato was proportioned well with sour cream, cheese, and bacon. The peach cobbler, was pretty basic tasting kind of bland. Peach cobbler is a favorite of mine and this one needed some seasoning. That being said, I was happy with the meal, especially for the cost. The staff was hospitable and the atmosphere was what you would expect from a cowboy steakhouse. I would definitely come back for another meal.

Whenever…read morefamily visits from out of town this is where I take them, because it's the easiest way to show off what real Texas barbecue is supposed to taste like. The brisket is the reason I keep coming back. I usually go fatty, and it's got that dark peppery bark and stays so tender you barely need to chew it. I've eaten a lot of brisket around here over the years and theirs is still the one I measure everything else against. You cannot skip the Texas Twinkies either. It's a whole jalapeño stuffed with brisket and cream cheese, then wrapped in thick bacon, and it's every bit as ridiculous as it sounds in the best way. Grab a jalapeño cheddar sausage link and some mac and cheese on the side and you're set. The line can get long on weekends but it moves fast and it's worth the wait every time. If you live around here and somehow haven't been yet, you need to make a stop here! Ya'll won't regret it!

They slice it and put it on a plate. I ordered some brisket, a slice of turkey, and a rib. It is weighed and a sticker is put on your tray. You walk inside and can choose cold sides. Then there's a warmer where I chose Mac and cheese. Also as I walked in I was asked if I wanted fries or onion rings. I chose the rings and was given a number to keep on my tray so they could bring them out to me when they were ready. Then you pay. They also serve soda and alcoholic beverages but you get them at the bar. There is a place to get bbq sauce mild or spicy and if you're eating g in you can get pinto beans as well Everything we ate was delicious. Would definitely return, so many other items to try!!
