Holy Smoke Central Texas Barbecue

The core orders to know are prime brisket, baby back ribs, jalapeño cheddar sausage, the Loaded Brisket Sweet Potato, the Pitmaster sandwich. This is the clearest call when the group wants a meat-focused meal in Markham built around Central Texas-style BBQ.

Plan around the confirmed signatures

If prime brisket, baby back ribs, or jalapeño cheddar sausage are the reason for the trip, make those the first priorities when ordering.
