Low. Slow.
Red gum.

Texas method, smoked over red gum and sliced to order — never before. Brisket, ribs, pulled pork and house sausage, straight off the pit in Fitzroy.

If we don't make it, we don't serve it

"Less is more" that’s the motto at TBBQ. We let the cut of meat take centre stage, seasoning with only the necessary dry rubs and smoking it to juicy, tender perfection. We make everything in house, all our sauces get the TBBQ treatment, from the tomato sauce to the mustard and even mayonnaise. It doesn’t stop there though, we grind our own cornmeal from natural corn kernels and you can taste the difference in our signature cornbread. We do it right the first time and take our time.

It starts at the pit: how we smoke the brisket — ten hours or more over red gum, salt and pepper, nothing else.

Do it slow.
