The line forms by 8am, the doors open at 11, and the meat is gone by 2pm. USDA Prime brisket smoked 14 hours over post oak arrives with a dark, salty crust and a smoke ring that earns every minute of the wait. The Tipsy Texan sandwich (chopped brisket, sausage, pickles, coleslaw) plus pork ribs is the full play.

USDA Prime, 14-hour post oak smoke, dark bark and smoke ring worth every wait.
