Apocalypse BBQ began as a backyard dream in Austin, Texas, founded by pitmaster Jake Morrison in 2012. What started with a single smoker and a small weekend pop-up quickly turned into a local legend known for bold flavors and a fiery passion for smoke. As word spread, the Apocalypse BBQ Menu evolved from simple brisket and ribs into a full lineup of Texas-style classics with creative twists — from smoked turkey tacos to burnt-end sandwiches slathered in their signature sauce.
Progressively, loyal fans uncovered whispers of a secret menu, featuring offbeat favorites like the “Apocalypse Melt” and “Smoked Brisket Bombs,” known only to insiders.
Yet despite the experimentation and fame, the heart of the place remains the same — their original slow-smoked brisket, still the most beloved dish that started it all.
