Our Legacy

Two decades at the fire

Ember & Oak was born from a passion for authentic, slow-smoked Texas BBQ. We've been perfecting our craft for over twenty years — building fires before dawn and pulling meat long after dark.

Every cut is hand-selected from Texas ranchers we know by name, rubbed in our house spice, and smoked low over post oak and hickory until the bark is set and the fat renders like butter.

  • Family-owned since 2003
  • 3x State Champion Ribs
  • Post oak & hickory only

House Specialties

Off the smoker

Signature smoked meats that bring folks back week after week.

Brisket

Prime packer rubbed with salt and pepper, smoked 14 hours. Sliced to order with the bark on.

St. Louis Ribs

Slow-smoked spare ribs with our secret dry rub. The bend test is non-negotiable.

Pulled Pork

Boston butts smoked 12 hours, hand-pulled. Carolina-style sauce on the side.

Smoked Turkey

Brined whole birds, smoked golden and juicy. A pitmaster's holiday favorite.

House Sausage

Ground and stuffed in-house with prime trim. Snappy casing, smoky inside.
