New flavors will debut in Frisco this year with the opening of a contemporary all-American smokehouse, 3 Stacks Smoke & Tap House, which will offer a Texas twist on traditional barbecue and a full service bar. The fresh and flavorful concept will be opening its doors as Frisco’s first American Tap House in February of 2013.
Where cafeteria style, casual dining and a family friendly sports bar unite, 3 Stacks Smoke & Tap House is a unique concept bound to please every member of the family in taste and ambiance. Committed to quality, seasonal and fresh ingredients, 3 Stacks aims to have customers taste the difference by serving a menu filled with quality slow smoked meats, homemade rubs & sauces, seasonal side vegetables and daily baked breads. Signature dishes include baby back ribs, smoked salmon, refreshing cucumber salad and fresh berry cobbler.
The namesake of the restaurant is attributed to the three large smokers that welcome diners upon entrance, each dedicated to a different selection of meat. Overseeing the preparation of the meats is Pit Master, Trace Arnold, also known as the “Rib Whisperer”. Serving as the genius behind the 3 Stacks smokers, Arnold designed the original the World’s Largest Transportable smoker in 1997. Realizing the need for design improvements, Arnold sponsored a complete design makeover in 2002, producing the Ultimate Smoker and Grill, an 80-foot traveling smoker with capabilities to slow smoke over 2,000lbs of meat. Arnold has since traveled the country competing, consulting and faming the concept that outstanding barbecue does exist.
Balancing the extensive food menu is the all- American Tap House which offers an extensive list of local & regional beers. Serving approximately 36 taps year round; their menu is focused on local and regional brews with the list inclusive of hometown favorites such as beer from Deep Ellum Brewery, Lakewood Brewery and Peticolas Brewing Company. In addition to these on tap and bottled up brews, they will also be debuting an exclusive beer-pairing menu to compliment the endless list of mouth-watering menu items. Adhering to their ‘something for everyone’ mission, 3 Stacks will also be featuring root beer on tap for kids to have with dinner or to top on ice cream for a root beer float.
3 Stacks is currently hiring for all positions.

Mac’s barbecue on Main in Dallas is the best, especially the jalapeño sausage, meaty ribs, and fresh cut fries. The meat is not as fatty as Pecan Lodge. Also very good barbecue at Back Clountry barbecue on Greenville Ave.
