CLOSED FOR MAINTENANCE!
Hey y’all, sorry to say that we have to make some unexpected maintenance on the trailer this weekend and will have to close for the weekend to get it done.
We’ll be back at it next Thursday with our new hours of 11-6pm.
HEY Y’ALL! BIG NEWS!
This winter, we’re moving into a brick and mortar in East Austin, just 5 minutes down the road from our longtime Rosewood location. Our future home, which we recently purchased, is special to us— it has served as our catering headquarters and commissary kitchen for the last six years.
It’ll have indoor seating, a beautifully landscaped courtyard, and the same oak-smoked deliciousness and friendly staff that you’re used to.
🚨Don’t worry! We’ll still be open at 1309 Rosewood until our new location is complete.🚨
We wanted to bring you in on this journey with us, and we can’t wait to share the progress on the church with all of you. We’ll be posting build out updates here and on Instagram and will keep in touch via email with any major news as warranted. Sign up for email updates at the link in our comments!
With many thanks and several briskets,
