Jordan Rosemeyer and Ben Maxwell have been friends since childhood, and they built Rosemeyer Bar-B-Q the hard way, working a trailer until the barbecue world noticed. Today it sits beside a gas station on Riley Fuzzel Road, with picnic tables and a pit you can smell from the parking lot. The brisket is beautifully rendered and deeply smoky, pork ribs pull clean from the bone, and the jalapeño-cheese sausage has a proper snap. What keeps regulars coming back is the rotating board of specials, which has included ostrich steak, along with house-made ice cream for dessert. It made Texas Monthly's 2025 Top 50 and holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, not bad for a place open only three days a week.
What to expect
- It is a trailer sharing a gas station lot, with no indoor dining room.
- Seating is a few weathered picnic tables outside, so dress for the weather.
- Beer sits in coolers out front, and 2025 reviews describe it as free.
- Dogs are welcome, since everything is outdoors.
- People start lining up before opening.
