Areas We Serve
The Sticks BBQ is a locally owned barbecue restaurant in Brownwood, TX — serving customers from San Saba, TX and San Saba County with slow-smoked Texas BBQ, made-from-scratch sides, burgers, sandwiches, and catering. No franchise, no shortcuts.
San Saba is about an hour southeast of Brownwood, and we see customers from your area who make the trip for a proper sit-down BBQ meal. Walk in, find a seat, and order at the counter — no reservations, no dress code. The dining room is casual and built for people who want a real meal without any fuss.
Making the drive from San Saba? Call ahead and we'll have your order packed and waiting at the counter. Phone orders are available Monday through Saturday. Everything travels well — meats, sides, bread, and sauce all hold up on the road.
Our BBQ plates are the main draw for most customers from San Saba. Brisket, ribs, pork sausage, or pulled pork — all smoked in-house every morning — with two scratch-made sides and bread. Sliced to order every time, never sitting in a steam tray. The smoke ring on the brisket is the real thing.
Our burgers and sandwiches are made fresh to order, not pre-built and warming. The chopped brisket sandwich is one of the most ordered items on the menu and uses the same quality brisket you'd get on a full plate. A solid option when you want something hand-held without sacrificing quality.
Every side is made in-house. Slow-cooked beans with smoked meat, real mac and cheese, daily coleslaw. On the extras side, smoked jalapeños and bacon-wrapped ABTs add the kind of detail that separates a proper Texas BBQ spread from an ordinary one. Worth the drive from San Saba on their own.
We're a family-friendly restaurant with a kids menu that gives younger guests right-sized portions and simple options. Everyone eats in the same dining room — no separate section, no separate experience. If you're driving up from San Saba with the family, everyone leaves fed.
Desserts rotate with what the kitchen is making that week. Ask at the counter before you decide you're too full — it changes regularly and nothing sits out all day. If there's room after a full plate, it's worth asking about.
We cater events in San Saba, TX and San Saba County. Backyard parties, community gatherings, graduation cookouts, corporate lunches — give us a headcount and a date and we'll put together an honest quote. All catering is by phone; we don't take event requests online.
