Tender Smokehouse Celina Texas
Posted: Sun Aug 26, 2018 5:11 pm
Took a Birthday Weekend to head up North to see the Daughter & SIL. We checked out a few places while there: Friday night in Pilot Point hit a neat place called Bee Bo's. Had the catfish, shrimp plate and was above average, good food; great atmosphere with live band.
Saturday at 11;30 we headed to Celina to try the wagyu at Tender Smokehouse. I ordered point and my wife ordered flat and for a change the flat had a better flavor although both we very good. You could cut either with a fork easily. The little bit of outside cut I got with bark was very flavorful but those without bark weren't as good. The Jalepeno/Cheese sausage was extremely good. Buttered Texas Toast and great sides; Potato salad was good and the Mac&Cheese rated tops.
We ordered Banana Pudding & Lemonade Pudding and the were off the charts. everything but the sliced bread appeared to be from scratch. Great staff came by to check on you and see if you needed anything else. Outside tables and AC dining inside that is separated from the smokehouse so it didn't have the smoky smell.
After eating I walked around the side to check out the pits and one of the owners gave me a tour; open the rotisserie smokers for me, and told me about how they did it. The big Dino Beef ribs weren't coming off until 4PM so I missed out on them.
I'd recommend it to anyone that was in the area; I don't think you'll be disappointed.
