9th Stop, 10 Days of BBQ, The Original Roy Hutchins, Trophy Club

 

Sampled 7/16/25 around 2 pm

The differences between this place and the other Hutchins in Frisco and McKinney are small, but they are separate restaurant chains and both are excellent.  Roy's only current location is just 15 minutes away from our house but they are working on opening their second location in Arlington soon with more to follow.  The two chains have the same founder and use the same recipes.  The main difference is Roy's experiments with new items, hence the addition of pork belly burnt ends on my tray today.  The two Hutchins chains are the only craft BBQ joints in DFW to be open 7 days a week and stay open until 9 pm.  That is a big difference in convenience when you have guests in town who might not want to stand in line at 11 am.  We visit Roy's often due to that convenience, but they also have very good food.  Jack and Mrs. O. joined Scott and myself on this foray.  My Mrs. loves their broccoli salad.

I grabbed my usual Texas Trinity plus some pork belly burnt ends and a Texas Twinkie.  Everything was excellent, as usual, but Scott noticed a difference in his tray and mine.  My sliced fatty brisket was $32.99/lb and his was $33.99/lb.  They had 2 cutters working when we visited and I had #2 and Scott got his from #1.  Someone missed a price change on one of the digital scales, but even at $33.99 that was some of the least expensive brisket we have had on this trip.  It was very good.
