    Been driving by here for years and never knew there was one here. But it's hidden in the back. The other one like way cross town. 45 mins away. Just so happen to be next door for another establishment and came in. Anytime is always a good time for BBQ.

    We wanted to choose a locally owned restaurant instead of a chain. The cashier was kind and professional. We ordered 2 plates. The meals included drinks, but they didn't have any low sugar options for drinks. No tea. Only water or high sugar options. It was around $35 for 2 people. The restaurant was clean. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. There was a young waiter who was very attentive and kind. He was actually too attentive, checking on us every few minutes. It was a bit annoying, but he had good intentions. Unfortunately, the food just wasn't good. We ordered sliced brisket. What we received was not sliced brisket. We each received a slab of brisket. It was about 50% fat on each of our orders. The little brisket that was there lacked seasoning. The sausage was ok, but also lacked flavor. The collared greens had a nice kick of spice, but they were so incredibly salty that they were hard to eat. The mac & cheese was different. I thought it was OK. My husband did not like it at all.

    Customer service is horrible. I was upcharged for a koolaid drink that's included in my meal and was told no free refills. Fine. But I can't get a regular fountain drink either? What I already originally purchased? I LITERALLY received two free refills from the other lady who works here who is always nice last week. Also the meat was not cooked well, still very hard and not tender. Mac and cheese gummy. I was here just last week and it didn't taste this way. It's been several months prior and never had issues like this.

    This is one of the best barbecue spots in the area! The food does not dissapoint! The meat flavor is so good. Worth trying, you won't regret it.

    Two meat MVP (sausage & brisket)

    I recently moved to the area and was looking for a good BBQ spot. I saw Winners and knew I had to stop by. I've eaten at the Winners in Plano since it opened and I've never had a bad experience. This location was really good, I ordered the 2 meat MVP and the food did not disappoint. The customer service was decent, I noticed some reviews mentioned that the customer service wasn't great but maybe management took whatever measures were necessary to fix the issues. I did not experience poor customer service on my visit and I will definitely be back. The only thing I did not like was that there was not a self service BBQ sauce station like the Plano location has. They included 2 small containers of BBQ sauce in the bag and it just wasn't enough.

    I was so disappointed. Went to an event next door but stopped here to grab a bite. Read the Yelp reviews (well looked at the stars ) Being greedy and seeing others come in also ordering opted for a half slab instead of getting something small to be sure. The outer rib had some seasoning the actual meat no flavor at all. It tasted as if it was boiled or baked and maybe just maybe ran through a toaster oven (sarcasm but to give you a visual) From the picture you can see those ribs hadn't touched an actual grill: $30 worth of dis's appointment And because I was so hungry I was so disappointed. But I let others around me taste it to be sure I wasn't being picky and no one enjoyed it or even wanted my order I was offering at no charge. Maybe I got a bad batch but if this is it I never want it again. Beans taste like out the can (but was ok the reminded me to f beenies and weenies as a child) Potato salad tasted like store bought and someone attempted to doctor it up. It was edible but not made from scratch. I ate the bread as my meal and always bread at BBQ or fish spots for some reason are the softest slices you can get NOT these lol The ladies that worked there were not welcoming just took orders and handed orders. No pleasantries. Location is wonderful and this business can have a lot Of success if they start actually BBQing the BBQ

    Best bbq ever! Get the cyclone sandwich if you want to sample 3 meats for an affordable price. Everything is good though.

    Ribs and sliced brisket are my go to. It's located in a plaza kind of around the back. Little hard to find but definitely worth it.

There's a huge yard out back with plenty of picnic tables, which makes it perfect for hanging out when the weather's nice. Inside, the space is small, comfy, and neat. It feels well put together without trying too hard. There's even a fireplace that adds a nice touch--no idea if it's actually working, but it fits the vibe. The staff here really stands out. Super friendly, very polite, and they keep things simple--you order at the corner, grab a seat, and they bring the food out to you. Easy and efficient. I went with the brisket taco, and it delivers. This isn't a tiny street taco--it's loaded. You get brisket, salsa negra, avocado crema, and pickled onions. The balance works really well. The salsa brings some acidity to cut through the fat, while the crema smooths everything out. Every bite comes together nicely. As for the brisket itself, the seasoning is solid but not overly aggressive. Personally, I'd like a bit more bark--it was a little thin for my taste. That said, the smoke ring is very prominent, and you can taste that deeper smoke flavor. Texture-wise, it was very tender--easily cut with a plastic fork. I did catch it later in the afternoon, and the lean slices were just a bit on the dry side for me. Overall, the vibe here is awesome and the tacos are legit. This is a spot I'll definitely be coming back to--looking forward to giving the brisket another shot, plus trying the pork ribs and some sides.

During my visit on Juneteenth, I initially went through the drive-thru and experienced what I felt was rude and unprofessional behavior from one of the black male employees. Concerned by the interaction, I left the drive-thru line and went inside to speak with management. Dorsey immediately addressed my concerns with professionalism, patience, and courtesy. She took the time to listen, quickly de-escalated the situation, personally assisted with my order, and assured me that the matter would be addressed. Her prompt response and commitment to customer service completely changed my experience. While my initial interaction was disappointing, Dorsey's leadership, professionalism, and dedication to ensuring customer satisfaction are the reasons for this five-star review. She is a tremendous asset to the restaurant and should be recognized for her excellent customer service.
