Areas We Serve
The Sticks BBQ is a locally owned barbecue restaurant in Brownwood, TX serving slow-smoked Texas BBQ, made-from-scratch sides, burgers, sandwiches, and catering since 2001. No franchise, no shortcuts — the same crew, the same recipes, every day.
Pull up a seat and stay awhile. Our dining room in Brownwood, TX is the kind of place where you slow down, eat well, and catch up with the people you came with. No reservations, no dress code — walk in, find a seat, and order at the counter. Families, regulars, and first-timers all eat here.
Call ahead to place your order and it'll be ready when you pull in. Takeout is available Monday through Saturday during regular hours. We pack everything so it travels well — meats, sides, bread, and sauce all included.
Our plates are the reason most regulars keep coming back. Choose your smoked meat — brisket, ribs, sausage, or pulled pork — with two sides and bread on the plate. Everything is smoked in-house and sliced to order. No reheating, no shortcuts.
Beyond BBQ plates, we serve burgers and sandwiches built fresh when you order. The chopped brisket sandwich is a local favorite. Every item uses the same quality meat you'd find on any of our BBQ plates — we don't run a separate supply chain for the sandwich menu.
Scratch-made sides set our plates apart. We make our own mac and cheese, cook our beans down with smoked meat, and prep the coleslaw fresh daily. Extras like smoked jalapeños and bacon-wrapped ABTs round out a proper Texas BBQ spread.
We've always been a family-friendly restaurant. The kids menu gives younger guests straightforward options sized for smaller appetites, so the whole table can eat without anyone getting left out. No separate seating, no separate experience — just one welcoming dining room.
When there's room left, we've got something worth finishing with. Our dessert options rotate with what's available and what the kitchen is making that week. Ask when you order — nothing sits in a display case all day.
We cater events across Brownwood, TX and the surrounding area — backyard cookouts, graduation parties, corporate lunches, church gatherings, and more. Give us a headcount and an event date and we'll work out the rest. Call directly for a catering quote; we don't take catering requests online.
