Joe built it.
Josh still works the pit.

Joe opened on Treadaway. They lost that building. Josh kept it going on 11th Street. Same red-check tables. Same mesquite.

That is not a stock photo. That is the two of them, and a spread they actually cooked.

This is where you pull up today.

The cedar, the wagon, the porch. Not the old Treadaway lot. The sign you remember is the mark. This building is home now.

301 S. 11th St., Abilene.

Catering & the pavilion

Bring the pit to the party.

BBQ buffet or ribeyes cooked on site. Lytle Bend Pavilion and a banquet room for weddings, meetings, and the kind of Saturday that needs a lot of brisket.
