Areas We Serve
The Sticks BBQ is a locally owned barbecue restaurant in Brownwood, TX — serving customers from Brady, TX and across McCulloch County with slow-smoked Texas BBQ, made-from-scratch sides, burgers, sandwiches, and catering. Independently operated, same crew every day.
Brady is about an hour south of Brownwood, and it's a straight shot up US-87. We see customers from Brady come in when they want a sit-down BBQ meal that's worth the drive. No reservations, no dress code — walk in, order at the counter, and take your time.
Call ahead from Brady and your order will be packed and waiting when you arrive. Everything travels well — smoked meats, sides, bread, and sauce. Phone orders available Monday through Saturday during regular hours.
Our plates are built around what comes off the smoker that morning. Choose brisket, ribs, sausage, or pulled pork — all smoked in-house daily — with two sides and bread. Sliced to order, every time. Customers from Brady who plan ahead call in their order so nothing sells out before they arrive.
Our burger and sandwich menu gives you a hand-held option built with the same quality meat as the BBQ plates. The chopped brisket sandwich is a regular favorite. Made fresh when you order, not pre-built and sitting out.
All sides are made in-house from scratch. Slow-cooked pinto beans, daily coleslaw, real mac and cheese. Smoked jalapeños and bacon-wrapped ABTs on the side add that final touch to a complete Texas BBQ plate. Worth the drive from Brady on their own.
We've always been a family restaurant. The kids menu keeps younger guests covered with simple, right-sized options. One dining room, one welcoming atmosphere — if you're driving up from Brady with family, everyone at the table leaves happy.
Dessert rotates with what the kitchen is putting out that week. Ask at the counter what's available — it's made on-site and doesn't sit in a display case. If you've got room after a full plate, ask before you decide you don't.
We cater events in Brady, TX and the surrounding McCulloch County area. Whether it's a graduation party, family reunion, or a community cookout, call us with your headcount and event date and we'll put together an honest quote. Catering is phone-only — no online booking.
