Some nights, dinner should just be done for you. Our BBQ Family Meals come with smoked ribs and brisket, all the fixin's, and everything scratch-made in-house. Choose the Lil' Smoke to feed up to 4, or the Big Smoke for up to 6 -- either way, less time cooking, more time at the table.

What goes into an Apple Pie at Founding Farmers:

A crust we roll by hand
Apples we slice in-house
Crumb topping made from scratch, no shortcuts
Time in the oven until the edges go golden and the filling bubbles

That's it. That's the pie. On our dessert menu now, and available To Go.

Years of testing. Dozens of rubs. One very confident catch.

Consider this your sign to order Founding Farmers BBQ: Classic Central Texas brisket, Sweet Heat St. Louis spareribs, Carolina pulled pork, cherrywood-smoked turkey, and sides made from scratch in our kitchen.

On the menu every day starting at 4pm.

Quick to build. Never quick to compromise.

Every order of our Spicy Ahi Tuna & Avocado Poke starts the same way: sushi-grade ahi, hand-cut in-house, dressed with a scratch-made simple vinaigrette and crispy wontons. No jarred sauces. No shortcuts. Just a team building it fresh, order by order.

Come watch the process for yourself, or better yet, come taste it. 😋

There's a rhythm to a Founding Farmers weekday morning: beignets dusted in powdered sugar, breakfast tacos headed out of the kitchen, pancakes hitting the table still warm.

Grab a seat and see it for yourself. We're open daily for breakfast. https://bit.ly/38VHKAJ
