Be Kind Have Fun

Traditional East Texas BBQ prepared the same way today as it was 66 years ago.

Serving Up Traditional East Texas BBQ Since 1960.

Texas BBQ may have started in Central Texas, but it wasn’t perfected until it merged with Southern and–occasionally–Cajun influence once it reached East Texas.

At Stanley’s, we use traditional ETX recipes and methods to give people the opportunity to try our region’s unique take on ‘cue.

(Plus a few modern takes on traditional favorites, too).

UPCOMING EVENTS


Smoke(less) podcast: Hosted by Justin Fourton, Wayne Mueller, and Nick Pencis, these three award-winning Texas BBQ veterans sit down to share honest, no-bullshit conversations about life, purpose, burnout, creativity, and the grind of building something meaningful — in and far beyond the pit.

This isn't a show about brisket recipes (though that might come up). It's about the fire underneath: the stuff that fuels us, burns us, and reshapes us. BBQ is just the backdrop for something much deeper — mentorship through experience, brotherhood through storytelling, and the clarity that only comes when the smoke clears.

Whether you’re in the industry, chasing a dream, or looking for real talk that cuts through the noise — welcome to Smoke(less).
