Why Diners Choose TBBQ Fitzroy

Why diners choose TBBQ Fitzroy for authentic Texas smokehouse barbecue

  • Generous Multi-Meat Sharing Platters

    Guests can order substantial combo platters loaded with Black Angus brisket, pulled pork, house sausages, wings, and house sides designed to feed groups.

    The platter came with 300g Black Angus brisket, 200g pulled pork, 12 pieces of chicken wings and 2 house sausages. There was a really nice variety, so everyone could try a bit of everything.

  • 10-Hour Hardwood-Smoked Brisket

    Cuts like high-grade MB4/5+ Black Angus brisket are smoked low and slow over hardwood for upwards of 10 hours until pull-apart tender.

    The beef brisket was insanely tender, smoked for over 10 hours and so soft you could literally pull it apart with your fingers.

  • Authentic Hardwood Smokehouse Craft

    Traditional smoking techniques over real hardwood infuse the meats with authentic Texas depth and character without taking shortcuts.

    The slow smoking over hardwood gives the meat a rich, earthy, and aromatic flavor you can’t find anywhere else. Tender, juicy, and full of authentic Texas character.

  • Signature Sweet Cornbread

    Another highlight for me was their signature cornbread. Not many places serve this, and TBBQ makes it with freshly ground cornmeal, giving it that authentic texture and flavour.
