About

Barbecue RestaurantCaterer
Sonny Bryan, whose original vision for top-tier Texas barbecue is still alive and well, used to keep the restaurant open until the 800 pounds of meat ran out (usually around 1 pm). He’d spend the rest of the day riding his bicycle around town.
A lot has changed since the days of Sonny and his bicycle but we’re proud of the blend of old and new you’ll encounter while visiting our flagship store.
It’s easy to spot imposters in the barbecue industry. Looking for authentic barbecue that stands out among all the other briskets? We’ve got the roots and the history to prove you’re in the right place.

- BBBillytoday3.0High price for little bit of food like 3 meat plate was a couple of bites each meat and potatoes in potato salad was like eating rocks but sauce is good and meat was good just feel like for $25 a plate would be better than that for sure gas station bbq way more food for 1/2 the price
- MMmorisFeb 5, 20265.0Very very nice ppl and a nice place and the other ppl there were some of the nicest ppl i have ever met the food was amazing and there was a lot of in
- RRRuhan RFeb 3, 20263.0I tried a few BBQ spots in my trip to Texas, and unfortunately Sonny Bryan's came in last place. It was not bad per say but not comparable to the other restaurants I tried. From my plate, the ribs were probably the best item. The brisket and the sausage really didn't impress me much. The sides were disappointing, especially the beans. I was expecting more from a restaurant with such an established history. The hours are convenient however as they run 24hrs, so if you need some authentic BBQ at night this is the go-to. The service was wonderful as well. They had a greeter who just sat by the entrance and warmly took care of customers as they came in. I really liked the vibe of the place, I just wish I liked the food as much.
- DBDavid BloomJan 20, 20262.0Store has a great old-school Texas BBQ vibe, but the food was extremely lacking. Half the brisket was juicy and delicious and the other half was dry and tough. The fries were good, but nothing to write home about and the beans were just plain fine. Feels like the legacy here has outlasted the quality.
- FRFood ReviewerJan 18, 20264.0Very good service and a cool old school atmosphere. Came here today and was really excited. Pulled pork and sausage were delicious and to die for. Just being honest, brisket tasted a few days old and was very dry and leathery. Onion rings and fries and beans were tasty. I will definitely be back.
