Sanders BBQ began as a small roadside smokehouse founded by James Sanders in 1985 in Tyler, Texas, where his slow-smoked brisket and homemade sauces quickly drew locals and travelers alike. What started with a single pit and a handful of recipes soon expanded into a beloved regional chain known for its authentic Texas-style barbecue and friendly, down-home atmosphere.
As time goes by, the Sanders BBQ menu has evolved to include crowd favorites such as tender ribs, juicy pulled pork, and signature smoked turkey, all prepared using family recipes that have withstood the test of time.
While most guests come for the classics, few are aware of the secret menu — featuring off-menu items like spicy burnt-end sandwiches and pitmaster-style brisket tacos.
Yet, no matter how much the offerings grow, the original smoked brisket remains the heart and soul of Sanders BBQ — a timeless favorite loved since day one.
