Smoke & Bone

Central Texas Barbecue · From the Truck
The pit

The fire gets lit at 4am, whether it's raining or not.

We learned to smoke meat in Lockhart, Texas — the old way. Post oak, salt, pepper, and patience. No gas assist, no shortcuts, no sauce hiding anything.

We've been serving out of the truck since 2022, and most weekends the brisket sells out before the lunch rush ends. That's not a marketing line — it's why the schedule below says come early.

Family run. Cash and card. Take extra napkins, you'll need them.

Word of mouth

Closest thing to Texas brisket I've found in the Bay. Got there at 11:15 and there was already a line — worth every minute of it.
