5 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Celina

“Absolutely fantastic! The quaint entrance leads to a rustic inviting atmosphere. Every one of the staff members were extremely helpful and genuine. Lots of fan favorites are on the menu but the cashier was happy to help navigate it wonderfully. From the fresh brewed sweet tea to the little bottles of bbq sauce. It adds to the overall Texas nostalgia. Now, down to the food! I got a smoked Turkey baked potato the size of a softball fully loaded with butter, cheese, chives and sour cream. A children’s smoked turkey sandwich with a side of creamy mac&cheese and also the Tender twist on a Frito Pie which was filled with mac&cheese, baked beans, jalapeños, smoked brisket and onions. They even threw in a couple of extra treats just for showing up. A banana pudding and the true winner of the day which was their famous beans. It tasted like they were cooked over a grill in home made bbq sauce with brisket added in. In conclusion, a born and bread Texan will be returning for more soon!“

“I am blown away by the customer service. I ordered a 2 lb meal for dinner tonight and when I realized I was missing one of my sides I called just with the hopes that maybe I would get a couple dollars refunded. No they went above and beyond to apologize and bring some dang beans to my house!!!! Now I don't live overly far from there but still that is incredible customer service. I go here almost once a week and every time the customer service is incredible. Not to mention the food. Businesses like these let you know there is still quality out there and incredible people! I will continue to come back because they continue to always make things right, and then some. Thank you for making my night.“

“Staff is amazing!! I feel like I'm at someone's ranch home and they invited me over to eat some great Q, drink something adult and listen to some live music among friends. This place is really something special! Hidden on the backroads outside of McKinney city limits is this outdoor only seating, cozy eatery w/ a small bar; if you weren't looking for it you might miss it! Mom and I found out this land and restaurant is owned by a South African native who raises his own cattle for the restaurant. We really enjoyed the ribs, brisket and sausage. DELISH!! Another cool piece to this place is the sweet/quaint country store inside. They sell things like homemade local salsas, raw meats and a few other specialty items. I would HIGHLY recommend this place especially during the warmer months!“

“I enjoyed the employees and the food good but was VERY disappointed to find out I couldn’t get my baked potato with cheese only instead of the two sides at this location. I was told the baked potatoes at this location were only sold as stuffed entrees $15. Said this location is a part of a franchise and I recommended this needed to be posted at the front door. I did enjoy the spicy pinto beans and potato salad but it was not my normal baked potato with cheese I ALWAYS get from other locations.“

“I grew up in Kansas City. Like many from KC, BBQ is in my DNA. As infants, we go from the bottle and straight to the rib. Some of my earliest memories are eating Arthur Bryant's ribs and watching the Chiefs in Memorial Stadium in the 60's. I've been eating burnt ends as my favorite BBQ for 50 years + now. My first and only visit to Clark's blew me away. The best burnt ends I've ever had anywhere... anytime. 2nd place is a tie, with a batch I made using grass fed point from New Zealand a few years go and what one used to get in the mid 80s at Harris BBQ in KC. For a month now I've been looking forward to my next visit to Clark's, which if it were a little closer, I'd probably be going everyday. (I live in Frisco) I plan on calling ahead to make sure there are enough burnt ends for me to have a serving while there and some to take home. The leftovers I intended to bring home last time, didn't make it past Aubrey.“
