Born in a tin shop, raised for BBQ lovers!

Welcome to our restaurant, where Texas roots meet slow-smoked perfection. Housed in a historic tin building that once served as the Weigl family’s ornamental iron workshop, our location has been a proud part of Austin’s history since 1978. Shortly after opening, the site was officially recognized by the State Historical Commission for its cultural significance.

BBQ that brings Austin together

Catering with a side of history

Our catering brings slow-smoked Texas BBQ to your event with tender chicken, juicy pork ribs, and rich, slow-roasted turkey. Each cut is seasoned with our house-made rub, smoked to perfection, and finished with our homemade BBQ sauces. It's a hearty, no-fuss spread made to satisfy any crowd.
