Yellow Rose BBQ began as a humble smokehouse in the heart of Texas, founded in the late ’80s by pitmaster Hank Lawson — a man with a passion for slow-smoked perfection. What started as a roadside shack quickly became a local legend, drawing crowds for its tender brisket and family-style hospitality.
As time passes, the Yellow Rose BBQ Menu has evolved from a straightforward lineup of meats and sides into a comprehensive Texas-style dining experience, featuring ribs, smoked turkey, sausage links, and their renowned pulled pork sandwiches.
As the restaurant’s fame spread, loyal fans discovered the “secret menu” — hidden gems like spicy burnt ends, jalapeño mac & cheese, and a legendary off-menu BBQ burrito that regulars whisper about.
Although the lineup has expanded, the original hickory-smoked brisket still reigns supreme, reminding everyone why Yellow Rose BBQ became—and remains—a true Texas classic.
