Wake N Bacon - Texas Style BBQ, Done Right

Wake N Bacon 

Texas Style BBQ, Done Right

Story and photo by Cynthia Sheridan

It’s not a bird, or a plane, but it looks like a bus coming at you, when parking in front of this Texas style take-out BBQ establishment.

Owners Reuben and Melinda wanted a unique front counter for their brand-new restaurant when they opened two years ago. 

At Ballard Consignment, they found the perfect fit: the front end of a bus which had been converted into a bar, including headlights that still work. 

According to Melinda, “We’re Wakin and Bacon and BBQ-Makin”.

Favorite Take-Outs: Five Meats Kitchen Sink Burger, Crazy Chicken Salad, BBQ Burger with ground sirloin and smoked brisket, The Pork Daddy on a Brioche Bun, Pork Spare Ribs, Special house made pickles and pickled red onions. Sides: Slaw, Mac and Cheese, Cowboy Beans or Twice Baked Potatoes, Collard Greens and Jalapeno Cheese Cornbread Muffins. Be sure to try a giant brownie for dessert.
