Texas BBQ Play by Play
No Meal is Complete Without Brisket
Brisket has two opposing sides, one being lean and the second being fatty. Die-hard pitmasters have spent years perfecting their specialty with smoked brisket.
Believe it or not, the smoking process can be up to 20 hours long and is a tough skill to master.
Even though you will have many market-style meats to choose from, brisket is a well known must-have that pairs perfectly with every item on the menu.
Expect Classic Flavor Techniques
Traditional Texas barbeque is done in an outdoor wood burning smoker filled with meats being cooked over a low and slow fire.
Every now and then, pitmasters will add a touch of garlic powder or cayenne, while most keep it old school with salt and pepper. Restaurants will always offer a variety of sauces, but the number one rule is to always order it on the side.
All around the regions of Texas, Spring Creek Barbeque showcase pits that are always fired up with hickory-smoked barbeque.
Worth the Hours of Waiting
A classic texas barbeque experience is waiting in hour-long lines, but don’t let this stop you!
Seeing hundreds of people wrapped around the building is always a good sign. You might even see people renting out chairs or selling their spot in line.
On the bright side, you often have a chance to try small bites from the menu being passed around while you wait.

Be Ready to Eat
Prepare yourself for Texas barbeques that honor the history of “market-style” by serving meat by the pound.
Another piece of iconic history is an all-beef sausage made by hand. You might come across pitmasters who take a more modern spin by adding other elements.
If you prefer the old-fashioned way, try the cracked black pepper sausage at Spring Creek Barbeque!
Indulge in Every Homestyle Side
You can’t have Texas barbeque with only one. Order premium sides such as an “all the way” baked potato or a freshly fried to order okra basket.
To create a perfect homestyle combination, go with corn on the cob and a side salad with hand-crafted spicy jalapeño ranch dressing.
Leave Room for Dessert
A perfect ending to an authentic Texas barbeque is always dessert. Order a couple of classics like a banana pudding topped with vanilla wafers or a Texas pecan pie.
