The Holt Bros BBQ Menu tells the story of true Southern craftsmanship. Founded by brothers Mike and Ray Holt in the early 1980s in Tyler, Texas, Holt Bros BBQ began as a small roadside smoke shack serving slow-cooked brisket, ribs, and sausage to hungry locals. Word spread fast—thanks to their secret dry rubs and hickory-smoked perfection—and soon, the Holt name became a staple in Texas BBQ culture.
As the years passed, the restaurant expanded across East Texas, introducing new favorites like pulled pork sandwiches, smoked turkey, and homemade sides that kept customers lining up.
Ultimately, the Holt Bros BBQ Menu evolved, blending classic recipes with fresh twists while staying true to its smoky roots.
Few know there’s also a secret menu—featuring off-the-menu burnt end bowls and jalapeño cheddar sausage wraps—that devoted fans swear by.
Yet, the original slow-smoked brisket remains the heart of Holt Bros BBQ, a beloved reminder of where it all began.
