We bring delicious Texas BBQ to locations all over the Twin Cities and beyond. Our calendar is coming soon and will show our scheduled events, so be sure to follow us on social media for surprise pop ups!
Along with setting up at block parties, local events and breweries, we also take our kitchen on wheels on the road to cater for commercial productions and music festivals in remote places. Ask us how we can serve you and your crew with customized menus and a variety of tasty cuisines.
Do you have a company picnic, wedding, or other special event where you would like us to show up and serve delicious food for your guests? Our weekends book up fast, so contact us today!
Our owner and founder, Brian Cox, grew up in Texas where cooking with family is what everyone does. From a young age, he learned how to cook with his mom, grandmothers and other relatives. He also began helping his dad out with smoking meats on their wood fired smoker and learning the art and science of true Texas barbeque, which he spent many sleepless nights tending the fire to cook everything to perfection.
Brian's years of experience and passion for his craft shines through in every bite of the food we serve. On more than one occasion, people have said "This is the best BBQ I've ever had!" and "It tastes just like Texas." We pride ourselves on sticking to tradition, cooking things low and slow with real woods, no push button pellet smokers here folks!
Since starting out in Colorado with our first food trailer in 2014, we have upgraded our equipment several times and learned how to streamline our processes to provide the most efficient service possible at big events (even when our lines are long, we get your food out to you quickly!) without sacrificing on quality or taste.
The food truck menu above is usually what we serve at fairs, festivals, and larger private events for that very reason. It's what we have found works best to keep the food flowing fast and has a nice variety to suit most people's fancy. We do have lots of other tricks up our sleeve though! If we're feeling frisky, we may be serving up fun specials like Frito Pie, a Smoked Meatloaf sandwich or the Conor McGregor (If you know, you know!).
Our meats, bbq sauce, and coleslaw are all gluten free. We can also accommodate special requests - kid friendly, vegetarian/vegan etc.- for your event, just give us a heads up, and we'll make it happen.
Optional items we are happy to offer for you and your guests include: mac and cheese, beans, chips, cornbread, greens, casseroles, cobblers, beverages and other southern fixins'. The sky's the limit here!
In addition to serving at fairs, festivals, breweries, sporting events, corporate functions, schools, church events, family reunions, birthdays, weddings, grad parties, and celebrations of life, we have also traveled all over the country working with commercial production companies. We have catered for their crews on location during photo/video shoots in remote locations all over the United States for weeks at a time. These experiences have helped us learn to be super adaptable and have increased our creativity. Striving to create delicious meals using local ingredients much as possible, we've gotten really good at cooking all kinds of cuisines even in the most challenging conditions (something like Chopped plus Running Wild with Bear Grylls comes to mind!).
With that being said, what we love more than anything is to put a smile on our customers' faces with the yummy food we serve and overall experience we provide. Whether it's at a block party, wedding reception, charity fundraiser, music festival (we cater for bands and production crews too!), commercial photoshoot, or anything else you can dream up, we provide food that is fresh, delicious, and satisfying. Once people have tasted our food they can't wait to have it again. If you're looking for a great food truck or caterer for your next event, we've got you covered. Let us worry about the food so you don't have to!
We understand that nothing makes guests feel more welcome than tasty food served with a smile. Let us do the work while you relax and enjoy your special event!
Follow us on social media and keep checking our events to see when we're in your area.
