Our Story

Texas Barbecue, Stephenville Roots

R & R BBQ was built on a simple idea: smoke great barbecue the traditional way, and treat every guest like family.

Voted Best Barbecue of Erath County

A Local Barbecue Tradition

R & R BBQ opened its doors in Stephenville, TX with one goal: serve authentic, mesquite-smoked Texas barbecue and classic homemade sides to our neighbors in Erath County. What started as a small, family-run pit has grown into a local gathering spot for dine-in meals, takeout orders, and catered events across the community.

Our pitmasters smoke brisket, ribs, pulled pork, sausage, and chicken over real mesquite wood, the same way Texas barbecue has been made for generations. From our beans to our coleslaw, every side on the menu is made fresh in-house.

You need no 'teef' to eat my beef!
