What a cool place. This literally feels like a ranch: it’s a bit of a trek out of the city. It’s an entire complex with a restaurant, a market, espresso machine, bar, stage for live music and a lawn for seating, a second outside bar and an area for smoking meats.
Steve the owner is the nicest, most passionate guy. Checked on us all throughout the evening.
I tried the wagyu smashburger and I loved it. It was piping hot which is how a burger needs to be, with a nice bun and delicious meat. Had fries which were also hot and crispy. The Mac and cheese was rich and delicious. I really enjoyed everything. I need to go back for the BBQ next time.
A buddy let me try his Wagyu beef jerky from the market and it was addictive. Super thin and easy to eat.
On top of all this, they had a band with live acoustic music and it was such a fun atmosphere. When the weather is nice the outdoor space is unbeatable. Even if the weather isn’t nice (like the night I went) the dining area is covered and heated and it was totally pleasant.
It sounds like there are weekend cars and coffee events which would be fun to check out. Just wish I lived closer!
Shout out to the entire friendly staff including Braden who made me a fantastic old fashioned with local honey, interesting bitters, a floral Japanese whiskey and a grapefruit rind. Outstanding. Can’t wait to return.

Hoshi means Star in Japanese, and the wonderful, kind owners pay homage to Texas (lone STAR) and Japanese food and culture. The food is incredible (wagyu for the win!), service is impeccable, and the vibes are probably the most welcoming of any restaurant I’ve been to in recent memory. I drove from north Fort Worth to meet some friends there and it was well worth the hour drive. While sitting there eating my burger that melted in my mouth, I felt like I was on vacation – sitting on a porch with friends, and great live music ( check out Phoenix Lawless). They also have a market inside, and serves as a coffee brewery in the mornings. Hoshi Ranch also host car meet ups there.
McKinney: you have a gem of a place in your backyard. Please don’t build too many homes or large buildings around this peaceful and fun establishment. I will be making my way back to Hoshi Ranch again !

Went there on the soft opening, tried the brisket and mac and cheese, it was great. Also have a great selection of local pickle, salsa, and BBQ sauce, along with biltong (cured meat) both locally sourced. The frozen meat / sausage section is impressive to say the least. There is also a Japanese BBQ meat selection (grilled table side). The meat selection is vast, and price is very reasonable for premium meat. The artesian coffee is some of the best I have tried. Ample parking, got outdoor seating, live music, outdoor bar, cover seating, and indoor seating. Such an incredible place to visit. Definitely be back for the Japanese BBQ.

My friends and I drove out here an hour before closing and were well-received with such great food and hospitality from Steve and his team! We thoroughly enjoyed the double wagyu burger, Japanese bbq grill top set, loaded nachos, and mac n cheese with some local Texan soda and Japanese Kirin lemon tea—the food and ambiance all felt like a home-cooked meal at a family’s house <3 It was seriously heartwarming to hear their mission of bringing community together through the fusion Japanese and Texan bbq, and I look forward to coming back again with more loved ones!!

I’ve been internally hyping this place up before I finally tried it and invited 5 other friends to share the experience with me. It completely shattered my expectations and blew me away with the food quality, service, and atmosphere. I live a bit far but I will definitely be back! I still need to try their coffee!
Edit: I tried the coffee and Flip is seriously a master of his craft. He walked me through the process he goes through to highlight the flavor of the bean rather than mask it with sugars and syrups and the difference between an average cup of coffee is night and day!
I also saw that they started serving breakfast and tried the avocado toast with egg. The egg is nicely seasoned and pairs great with the nutty flavor from the side sesame salad. Along with the cup of yogurt, it’s a well-balanced and satisfying meal.

Corner BBQ Shack is hands-down one of the best hidden gems in town! From the moment you arrive, the outdoor seating area sets the tone with its relaxed, rustic vibe. It’s the perfect spot to kick back with friends or family while enjoying the open air and good food. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere feels both welcoming and laid-back.
The food is where Corner BBQ Shack really shines. Their farm-to-table meats are packed with flavor and cooked to perfection — you can truly taste the quality and freshness. The menu offers a great variety, whether you’re craving brisket, ribs, or something a little more adventurous. Pair your meal with one of their adult beverages, and you’ve got a combo that’s hard to beat. Every bite was memorable, and the portions were generous without being over the top.
To top it all off, the live music on the weekends adds a whole new layer to the experience. It’s clear that the owners have put real thought into creating a space where people can gather, eat well, and enjoy themselves. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Corner BBQ Shack is definitely worth the visit. I’ll be back — and I’ll be bringing friends!

Hoshi Ranch BBQ absolutely nailed it with their Wagyu smashed burger. The patty was smashed just right—crispy edges, juicy center, and full of flavor without being greasy. You can really taste the quality of the Wagyu in every bite. The melted cheese paired perfectly with the beef, and the toasted bun held everything together without overpowering the burger.
The fries were just as solid—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned perfectly. Simple, classic, and exactly what you want alongside a great burger.
What really elevates the experience, though, is the atmosphere. The staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The space itself has a cool, laid-back vibe, and on weekends the live music takes it to another level—perfect for hanging out, eating good food, and enjoying the moment.
Hoshi Ranch BBQ is one of those spots you’ll keep coming back to—not just for the BBQ, but for a damn good burger, great people, and an even better atmosphere. Highly recommend.

I don’t usually go out of my way to leave reviews, but I needed to say just how great this place is. Went with a small group of friends to try the Japanese barbecue. We tried the Wagyu entree for 2 which came with an assortment of beef cuts (which you then cook on a grill at the table!). All the food we tried was absolutely delightful! The service was excellent, from both our waiter and the bartender at the bar, and we met the owner who was very friendly. The atmosphere was really great as well; they had a very skilled pianist playing some lovely music! I hope they keep bringing the pianist back because they were awesome 🙂
Even though I live a bit far from Hoshi Ranch, I’d definitely come back.
