Founded by pitmaster Leonard Botello IV in 2013, Truth BBQ Menu began as a humble roadside joint in Brenham, Texas, before expanding to a larger location in Houston that quickly drew national attention. What started as a small-town smokehouse soon became a Texas barbecue legend, blending old-school smoking techniques with modern Southern hospitality.
The Truth BBQ menu reflects this passion — offering perfectly smoked brisket, juicy ribs, turkey, and inventive sides like tater tot casserole and corn pudding that keep fans lining up.
Progressively, Truth BBQ’s popularity soared thanks to its melt-in-your-mouth meats and a few “off-menu” surprises that regulars whisper about — the kind of secret items that make each visit special.
Yet despite all the fame and innovation, the restaurant’s original slow-smoked brisket remains the timeless centerpiece, honoring the roots of Texas barbecue with every tender slice.
