The second time we took the family there the wife and kids got chopped brisket sandwiches which were good. I got the brisket and jalapeno sausage. Sadly, while it had a good char the brisket was dry as heck. Not good for a signature item on the menu.

We came here from out of town, and had an absolutely excellent meal! We ended up going with the…read morefamily feast for four people, and this was plenty for our group of five, with a little bit of leftovers. The brisket was everyone's favorite, the pulled pork was excellent as well with much more flavor than I've had anywhere else! We loved the sides-- the mac & cheese was everyone's favorite as it had such a great flavor! One of the highlights of this place is the serve yourself dessert bar when you are dining in. We enjoyed multiple helpings of peach cobbler with their soft, serve ice cream, both of which were absolutely fantastic!! Ordering the food was kind of an assembly line set up, with employees dishing out servings. Everyone was friendly and fast, but we were disappointed that both types of ribs were sold out by the time we arrived. We were worried about finding a seat, as this place was absolutely packed on a Sunday evening! We were able to find a booth quickly, and they do have some outdoor seating as well. Definitely recommend stopping into the spot if you are anywhere close!! Many in our group said that this was the best barbecue they've ever had!

Still, if we had not been getting carryout, it seemed like a pleasant place to sit down and eat, too. This is order at the counter service, and they were happy to explain things to this non-native. Everything was carefully packed to maintain temperature and avoid spills. I enjoyed the brisket with spicy sauce, though I have since heard some people really prefer the moist type, I think dry was right for me. I got a side of coleslaw so I could get my veggies in; it had a creamy yet not too heavy dressing. The stuffed potato was tasty, especially with all the recommended toppings, but it was the size of a small football! I had to put half of it in the fridge.

My favorite part of the whole experience was the sausage (how do you mess that up?) and the potato salad. I think I'm just finding that it's better to smoke your own meats at home. Half the price and 100x better. Service also wasn't the best. Lady at the register was dead inside. I could tell this was the last place she wanted to be today. Side note: waving your hand in the air to call my attention when I am not looking your direction is no way of letting a line of people know you are ready to take their order. "Next guest, please!" goes a long way. Possibly why she was so irritated when I finally got to the counter.

We went to Gao's BBQ & Crab in Allen after a graduation celebration with a party of 14 people. I'll…read moredo my best to give an objective review. The biggest issue for us was the ordering system. Everyone has to scan a QR code, place their own order, and enter their phone number. For a large group, this became very confusing because when the food came out, there was no clear way to tell who ordered what. We spent a lot of time trying to figure out which dishes belonged to each person. If you're coming with a big party, I definitely recommend making a list of everyone's orders ahead of time so it's easier to organize when the food arrives. The food itself was extremely spicy. Most of the BBQ items -- seafood, chicken, beef, and pork -- seemed to have the same heavy cumin and spicy seasoning, so the flavors started tasting very similar. Personally, that wasn't for us. However, the soy sauce fried rice and the cold noodles were really good and stood out the most from the meal. The service was good overall, although communication was a little difficult at times because it was hard to understand the staff's accents. The restaurant itself was clean and well kept. I think this place may work much better for smaller groups, but for our large party it was stressful and the food flavors were too repetitive for our taste. Unfortunately, it's probably not somewhere we would return to. Also they added 25% tip mandatory without mentioning it anywhere ; It was an experience though

If you're looking for authentic Texas BBQ in Plano, look no further than Lockhart Smokehouse. The…read morefood is absolutely incredible -- perfectly smoked meat with that deep, rich flavor that only comes from doing it right. This place has serious BBQ credibility and it shows in every bite. But what really put this visit over the top was the service. We arrived close to closing time (our bad!), and not a single person made us feel rushed or unwelcome. The staff was warm, gracious, and genuinely happy to help us while they were cleaning up and winding down for the night. That kind of hospitality is rare and it says everything about the culture of this place. The smokehouse vibe is exactly what you'd hope for -- cool, rustic, and full of character. It just feels like a BBQ joint should feel. Five stars without hesitation. We'll absolutely be back -- and next time we'll make sure to show up a little earlier!

Nicer chairs, more organized, more lights to make it bright inside and a little prayer corner to boot. Same menu albeit they also do weekend lunch buffet now which has an expanded menu with more gravy based dishes to complement the BBQ. The BBQ itself continues to be solid. I'm glad they have managed to maintain the same great taste as they had when the owner was doing BBQ solo out of his backyard. It's a family run operation and I think that goes a long way to maintaining the quality of the food. Their prices are also reasonable which you won't hear me complain about ;)

We opted to try the smoked wings, ribs, burnt ends, mac and cheese and some type of loaded mashed potatoes. I must say the food left much to be desired.

The mash potatoes were the most tasteful. We decided to sit in the enclosed outdoor space. Overall, felt the restaurant was underwhelming. Not much excitement in terms of BBQ.
