Post-oak fired brisket, St. Louis ribs, and house-made sides served from our cast-iron pit until we sell out — and we always sell out.
Pulled fresh off the smoker each morning. When they're gone, they're gone.
Caramelized brisket point cubes glazed in our coffee-bourbon sauce, piled over jalapeño cheddar grits with pickled onions.
36 oz prime tomahawk smoked low over post oak, finished on the grill, served with bone marrow butter and roasted garlic.
A half pound of crispy rib tips tossed in Carolina gold sauce with a side of slaw and a buttermilk biscuit.
Eight ounces of cedar-planked Atlantic salmon with maple glaze, charred lemon, and a side of dill potato salad.

Iron Pit BBQ opened on a gravel lot off Route 183 in 2008 with a single offset smoker, a hand-painted sign, and Tank's grandmother's pepper rub. We sold out by 1pm that first Saturday — and most Saturdays since.
Tank learned the craft over a decade in Lockhart and Luling, working pits at three of the great Texas smokehouses before deciding it was time to plant a flag of his own. The "II" in our name honors the second pit we welded ourselves in 2014 to keep up with the line out the door — and the second chance barbecue gave a kid who never thought he'd own anything.
Our philosophy is simple: post-oak fire, prime cuts, salt and pepper, time. No shortcuts, no liquid smoke, no hurry. If the brisket isn't right, we won't sell it. If we run out, we run out — come back tomorrow.
Walk-ins welcome. Big groups, call ahead. We open at 11 and serve until we sell out.
