How we read reviews →10-hour smoked brisket and beef ribs in Fitzroy. legit Texas BBQ with a BYOW bonus.
Compact booths with a warm, smoky-tinged atmosphere and relaxed music. The small space fills quickly on weekends and the meat is smoked on-site, so the scent is part of the experience from the moment you walk in.
10-hour low-temperature on-site smoking; BYOW policy; Angus beef MB4/5+ marbling; dry rub technique (no sauce on the smoke); house-made BBQ sauce, chimichurri, and garlic honey coriander aioli; black angus brisket sandwich available Sundays only
Central Texas BBQ tradition applied with evident rigour. dry rub only, offset slow-smoker technique, no shortcuts on cook time. The owner (Tao) is noted as meticulous about preparation.
Premium pricing. platters range from around $80 for T1 to $139+ for T2 and above. Opinion is split: genuine BBQ fans see fair value for the quality of smoke and ingredient grade; casual diners often find portions small relative to the spend.
