DB's Rustic Iron BBQ

This is the best place for Texas Barbecue! Southern hospitality is a real thing- the staff down here were friendly and welcoming! The vibes in this place are great! There were picture spots everywhere, a great dining view outside, and easy parking. There are condiments and utensils on all of the many tables. Ordering was fast and easy, with a reasonable price (I have never ordered Texas Barbecue before): 1/2 pound brisket, 1/2 pound pork ribs, and a brisket sandwich for $50. Each serving came with barbecue sauce, pickles, and onions, and the meats came with a slice of cornbread. Despite looking like a small amount, it filled three hungry people! The pork ribs were a little dry (the barbecue sauce salvaged it!) and the brisket sandwich was decent, but the brisket was to die for! It melted

DB’s Rustic Iron BBQ was a highlight of our Terlingua trip. The brisket tacos were incredible and the salsa was amazing. They were fresh, smoky, and full of flavor. The brisket itself was phenomenal, and the sausage sandwich was bomb. Great food, laid-back atmosphere, and absolutely worth the stop.

This place is DELICIOUS! Some of the best bbq I’ve had and I was born and raised in Texas. The brisket is to die for, the sausage is so good, and so is the pork ribs, beans, and potato salad. DB’s may not look like much on the outside, but it’s a must-stop if you’re in the area! Plus, loading up on some protein is never a bad idea when you’re hiking all day. I will add that everyone on staff was so sweet, there’s plenty of seating, lots of beer, wine, and other drink options, and they have TVs in the main area where people were watching sports. We loved their food so much we came back again the day before we left to buy a bunch of BBQ to take home! Don’t miss it!

This little gem will be a MUST VISIT for us when we visit Big Bend next year. We found this through a friend and we were not disappointed. Fantastic smoke on the brisket and turkey. Excellent set-up with Terlingua Ghost Town as a backdrop. I’ve been to all of the Texas BBQ hit spots and this one is right up there. Ask for Don and get ready to hear some stories! LOVED THIS X 100000!

We ate here on a Tuesday night and I am surprised it wasn’t busier! We had the pulled pork and brisket sandwiches, both were great. The price was a bit high, but understandable for the remote location, so no worries there. The staff were very nice, and our food was ready pretty quick. A nice hearty meal after we were hiking that day.
