North Texas’ storied Hutchins barbecue family will bring a restaurant to Arlington March 13 when The Original Roy Hutchins Barbeque opens on Interstate 30 near AT&T Stadium.
An online invitation announces the grand opening and ribbon-cutting of the restaurant, in a former steakhouse at 1600 E. Copeland Road on the corner at Nolan Ryan Expressway.
The location is a half-mile from AT&T Stadium, the home field of the Dallas Cowboys, and 1 mile from Globe Life Field, the home of the baseball Texas Rangers.
The restaurant is opening the same weekend as a Grand Prix IndyCar race March 15 through the Entertainment District.
It’s the second Original Roy Hutchins Barbeque in Tarrant County, following a location in Trophy Club at 3000 Texas 114 that has been listed as one of the top 100 restaurants in the U.S. by users of Yelp.com.
The Arlington restaurant is a cavernous, 7,900-square-foot Hill Country-style barbecue palace, serving prime brisket, pork and beef ribs, house-made original or jalapeño sausage and seared prime rib-eye steaks.
The Trophy Club location opened as part of a family split with state top 10-ranked Hutchins BBQ in Frisco and McKinney. But the rift is settled, and family members have gone ahead with different restaurants.
Both restaurants were spotlighted last year when TikTok food critic Keith Lee visited both, not knowing the difference. He told his millions of viewers the two Hutchins flavors are different — the oak is different, for starters — but he still rated The Original Roy Hutchins a 9 out of 10.
