Low & slow

Texas-style smoked meats on the Coast

Brisket, spare ribs, pulled pork and pork belly — smoked low and slow and served straight from our trailer.

Grab a plate with two sides, a sandwich, a mac n cheese bowl, or meat by the half pound to feed the whole crew. Pitmaster Johnny keeps it simple: quality meat, real smoke, and plenty of patience.

Fresh off the pit

Bark, smoke ring & all

This is what low and slow looks like: a dark peppery bark, a deep smoke ring, and brisket that's juicy all the way through.

Get it sliced on a plate, chopped on a sandwich, in a mac n cheese bowl, or by the half pound.
