Our story began in 1996 in our back yard pit as our founder shared his love of Texas BBQ, and Southern Hospitality with friends and family for their special events and weddings. We've long since moved out of the backyard, but that's about all that's changed. We still slow smoke all our brisket, ribs, chicken, sausage and pork on real pit smokers and we still scratch make our own rubs, sauces, sides and desserts.
We still provide that same great Southern Hospitality for wedding catering, corporate catering, corporate picnics, pig roast luaus, birthday catering and more. We serve the entire DFW metro area and can drop it off, set it up or fully staff your event. Give us a call!

I wanted to like this place so badly based on the reviews but, I was so disappointed with the food. Meat had zero smoke flavor, Brisket was dry, ribs and pulled pork were flavorless, sausage was sub par. 2 stars for the staff being super nice and then fried apple pie was decent. If you are looking for AMAZING Texas BBQ that everyone else raves about go to Hutchins in McKinney they got the magic there!

Positive: Quality
We have tried Southern Drawl at two different locations and the food has not disappointed. I really love the brisket sandwich, and can't seem to break away from ordering that. I really want to try the fried apple pie, but they sell out really quickly. My husband loves the ribs and sausage plates. Great family business!

Spoke with mgr (Philip) he rectified the situation. Communication is Key! Thank you so much for understanding.
Yesterday I just bought ribs, Mac & Cheese, Tea with Lemonade drink, and brisket. Brisket (Moist Side) was good
Very disappointed. Ribs too salty, drink taste like water, and Mac and cheese was not done. Just covered in sauce.

Amazing BBQ! They make it all themselves and it's all delicious! My wife and I had the sliced brisket platter. Brisket was tender and juicy and the sauce is incredible. I had street corn and mac & cheese. Both were so packed with flavor. Go support this business and family. They lost a lot of business from their catering business due to COVID-19 so they started the food truck. Get the word out and go get you some awesome BBQ!
