First half of December reviews

Hard Eight BBQ

688 Freeport Pkwy Coppell, TX 75019 (972) 471-5462

Hard Eight wins the trophy when it comes to presentation. How else to woo the undecided patron but with a smoker full of barbecued meats right next to the checkout stand? On several visits, the whole chicken dipped in a lemon-herb butter [...]

Bar-B-Cutie

208 North Greenville Ave. Allen, TX 75002 (214) 383-7555

Nothing exciting at this Allen town barbecue franchise. Ordered the sampler platter which came with bland and dreary brisket. Tough, dry and no smoky flavor at all! At least the mesquite chicken proved flavorful and a lot less dry. The ribs didn’t taste [...]
