Areas We Serve
The Sticks BBQ is a locally owned barbecue restaurant in Brownwood, TX — serving the Bangs area with slow-smoked Texas BBQ, made-from-scratch sides, burgers, sandwiches, and catering. No franchise, no shortcuts, same crew every day.
The drive from Bangs to our dining room in Brownwood is short, and regulars from your side of town make it regularly. Walk in, find a seat, and order at the counter. There's no wait list, no reservation needed — just a comfortable room and a plate of something smoked fresh that day.
Call ahead from Bangs and we'll have your order packed and ready when you arrive. We take phone orders Monday through Saturday. Meats, sides, bread, and sauce all travel well — nothing gets thrown together at the last minute.
Our plates are the heart of the menu. Choose your smoked meat — brisket, ribs, sausage, or pulled pork — served with two sides and bread. Everything is smoked in-house daily and sliced to order. Folks from Bangs who try it once usually make it a regular stop.
When you want something hand-held, we've got burgers and sandwiches built fresh to order. The chopped brisket sandwich is one of the most popular items on the menu. Same quality meat, same kitchen — just a different format.
Our sides are made from scratch in-house — not from a can or a bag. Slow-cooked pinto beans, real mac and cheese, and daily-prepped coleslaw. Add smoked jalapeños or bacon-wrapped ABTs and you've got a full Texas BBQ table worth the drive from Bangs.
We're a family-friendly restaurant with a kids menu sized right for younger guests. The dining room is casual and welcoming — no separate section, no separate experience. Everyone eats together and everyone leaves full.
Our dessert rotation changes with what the kitchen is making that week. If there's room on your plate, ask about what's available when you order. Simple, made in-house, and worth planning for.
