Pitforks and Smokerings BBQ

Great Texas BBQ and delightful owners! We had the brisket and Turkey - both excellent. Green Chili creamed corn and the cabbage are a must. A bonus was easy parking for our travel trailer. Thanks Isaac and family for a wonderful experience and sharing your family history. Donna and Ed

Perfect Brisket, Turkey Breast and Pork Ribs. Fried Cabbage and Mac & Cheese were good. Loaded Frito Pie was Amazing!!Food: 5/5

Great family owned BBQ joint situated in a family owned renovated auto shop. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Featured in Texas Monthly as the Future of BBQ in this area. Had the 2 meat plate with brisket and turkey. Sides were beans and potato salad. Wife had brisket Mac and cheese for her side. Everything was excellent and I will make this a visit again on my way through. Thanks for keeping family owned restaurants alive.

Great prices for the combo meals. They definitely give you plenty of meat. Service was great very friendly staff. Definitely a must try location..... Today they had live music.... they were great.....

Just a great little BBQ stop. Homemade tortillas are a neat little twist on traditional BBQ fare. Fried cabbage may be an homage to Slaton’s German roots? The brisket was great and even better wrapped, sauceless, in the aforementioned tortillas. Hoping to make it a regular stop when we pass through!

I was visiting from Oregon to see my nephew and niece so he brought me here because he knows I love good bbq. I couldn’t believe how good everything was. And I mean everything!! That’s the best bbq I’ve ever had! Great service too! I’ll be back.

For those who don't know, this "station" has been in the owners family for quite some time. We have driven by on the highway for many, many years , but could never stop due to time constraints and were excited to finally get to stop. To increase our excitement was a story we were surprised to see on TCR about this unassuming spot. We just had to make the trip, far out of our way, and did. The owner and his wife deserve the success I hope they are experiencing. They are humble and charming. The brisket we got was undeniably topnotch. I do wish they were closer, but we are 4 and a half hours/316 miles away. We will be back.

Fantastic BBQ and amazing service! Isaac and his crew were fun to talk with and took good care of us during our stay. You can tell they put their heart and soul into their work! Kid-friendliness: Accommodating for our kids and had good recommendations for picky eaters

I was introduced to Pitforks and Smokerings a few years ago. They are one of the best bbq joints I’ve ever had. The brisket is always tender and perfect, the turkey has great flavor without being dry. All of their sides are amazing especially the smoked cabbage and the brisket mac and cheese. We have used them for catering orders and everyone is always impressed with how good the food is. Great people and great food! You have to stop by when you are in Slaton!

What an experience! Get there right at 11 if you don't want to wait in line, but it's definitely worth the wait! Perfectly smoked brisket, moist and tender beef rib and the best turkey within 300 miles! Even the pork ribs stand out as excellent - and the sausage is meaty with a perfect snap when you bite in to it.
