Real Texas barbecue doesn't rush. We smoke our brisket for 14 hours over post oak, build every rub from scratch, and plate it with the pride of a craft that takes patience.
Every item on our pit is started early and smoked until it's done. No shortcuts, no rush — just honest Texas barbecue served the way it should be.
Our 14-hour post oak smoked brisket. Cracked pepper bark, pink smoke ring, buttery fat cap. Sliced to order with house sauce on the side.
Full rack of St. Louis cut pork ribs, dry-rubbed and smoked low over post oak. Tenders fall off the bone with a clean bark and a hint of brown sugar.
Slow-smoked pork shoulder, hand-pulled and tossed in our light house vinaigrette. Served on a toasted brioche bun with pickles and coleslaw.
Hand-stuffed beef and pork sausage with a snap. Smoked until the casing is dark and crackling. A Texas classic, done right.
Whole wings smoked low and finished hot for a crispy skin with a smoky interior. Choose between our dry rub or tangy house BBQ glaze.
Creamy mac & cheese, tangy coleslaw, smoky baked beans, cornbread, and more. All made from scratch daily to complement your smoke.
Full menu available in-house. Prices subject to change. Ask about our daily specials.

Barton BBQ was built on a simple belief: if you respect the meat and give it time, it will tell you when it's ready. We don't set timers. We watch the bark, we feel the probe, and we hold the line until every pack is where it needs to be.
Our pit is fired with post oak — the gold standard for Central Texas smoke. No hickory shortcuts, no liquid smoke, no compromises. Every rub is mixed in-house, every brisket is trimmed by hand, and every plate leaves the window only when it's right.
Located on Barton Springs Road, we're right in the heart of Austin — a neighborhood spot that takes its craft seriously and serves it with a straight face and a warm welcome.
