    It's always so nice when you know you're about to eat fantastic bbq and it's not in some newly…read morerenovated shiny instagramable joint. 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.

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!

    Our friend loved this place and took us here. This one is located in downtown Celina, and the…read morerestaurant was packed so we had to take to-go. We ordered a lot but the food came out relatively quick. We got some Brisket, Turkey Breast, Original and Jalapeño Sausages, with the sides being Fries, Fried Okra, and Mac N Cheese. The brisket was the star of the show, it was so tender, juicy, and falling apart. The Jalapeño sausage was also good, it was better than just the regular sausage. However, all the sides were okay, they weren't that good compared to other smokehouses. The mac n cheese was alright, you need to put on so much BBQ sauce to make it taste better. All of this costed $200+, so pretty average price since we had a big group. Personally, I had better BBQ elsewhere so I would not come back.
