Everything was top notch from entry to exit. Cashier and service staff were outgoing, friendly and accommodating. Priced very reasonably for the high quality. Portions are large. Check out my brisket potato. Delicious. This place is well managed, clean and even has outdoor seating. Best BBQ in the County hands down!

I moved about 10-15 minutes from Tender a few months ago and I’ll start by saying this has become a weekly obsession. Everytime my girlfriend and I go we’re welcomed by the employees, the food is cooked to perfection, and the drinks are well made. The GM Chris I believe came over to check on us and talked for a little while. Recommended me his favorite jalapeño mango margarita which was an hit. Another employee Rico, has come over several times when we visit and made us feel at home and like family. His recommendation was the banana pudding. The mixed brisket sandwich on Texas toast is my go to. For breakfast, the same but with bacon and an egg and it’s a home run everytime. Juicy, tender yet crispy on the edges. Toast is nicely buttered and brings it all together. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, if you’re looking for some good BBQ this is the place to go. As a plus my lady and I love to sit in the different themed booths every time we go and we always look up the Bible verse painted in our booth!

It was our first visit and right when we walked in we were greeted by Rico who was so hospitable and knew everything on the menu by heart. He was thorough on explaining all the meat/sides and how they are cooked along with throwing in a few jokes that made us all giggle. We ordered brisket, sausage (regular & cheese/jalapeno, turkey, fries, beans, mac & cheese, and fried okra. All of it was fabulous! Their bbq sauce was also had a nice kick too! Definitely a 10/10 from service to food. We will absolutely be back!

By far my favorite place in all of the Aubrey area it is to die for. By far the best brisket and Jalapeño sausage I’ve ever had beating Hutchins and Terry blacks by miles. I take all of my out of town friends and family here they all rave about it as well. Can be hit or miss sometimes depending on cook in the back but still even on down days it is much better than your avg joint. The classic breakfast is to die for. The staff and manager are very kind and welcoming would recommend getting the classic breakfast with half brisket moist and jalapeño sausage, hash browns and biscuit. 10/10 thank you Torii’s Tenders ⚾️

The CUTEST little place. The decor is top tier. I loved all the bible verses on the tables. And all the vintage bible verses and photos. The restaurant is stand to order. Food brought out. Our whole family of 10 visited and we ATE IT UP. It was phenomenal. This little florida girlie came looking for REAL texas BBQ and this was it. Chef kisses. All the way!

First timer but as a mom who Struggles to find yummy places with child/baby friendly atmospheres this was perfect. Food comes out fast, staff was so friendly, there’s fenced spaces outside to take your toddler/children if they need to get some wiggles out. Not to mention the pricing and quality of food were so so good for BBQ! Plus the environment is so welcoming and relaxed, great food good music, such a cute spot definitely a must on my list!

Tender Smokehouse in Aubrey is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming — they made us feel right at home. The food was beyond delicious — rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was a reminder of why great barbecue is worth savoring. The atmosphere was inviting, and the service was top-notch. This is without a doubt a place I highly recommend and will be visiting again (and again!).

I spent $138 dollars here tonight and I have not one bad thing to say about this place. The Dino ribs are dinormous and so tender. Even the pork ribs were good. The only thing I hope they would change is the amount of vanilla wafers they put in the pint of banana pudding I ordered. 1 single vanilla wafer cookie. If it pleases management, maybe add another or several vanilla wafer cookies 🙂

Alright I won’t lie, everyone in Aubrey says this is THE spot to eat. That’s probably because Aubrey has nothing to eat to begin with anyways, besides fast food and canned beans.
Let me start on a good note, the service. Service was phenomenal, team members here were friendly and helpful and the manager made it a point to do a circle and greet everyone. Service here is actually above and beyond most restaurants I would say.
Atmosphere, solid. Indoor and outdoor seating. Appears to be a dog friendly patio too but don’t quote me on that, verify before please.
Now for the food. My goodness, that was awful for the price. 0 seasoning whatsoever. Couldn’t taste anything except the smoke. Needed to basically pour bbq sauce over the meat to get it down and felt kind of gross about it afterward. The Mac and cheese was also not very cheesy and pretty bland. It was underwhelming and underimpressive to say the least however, I could see why in a town that almost nothing useful exists in, this would be the only casual sit down option.
Once again service was great, maybe swap a cook or a recipe or something.
