DB's Rustic Iron BBQ

We got carry-outs of brisket, pork ribs to take back to our camper. Both were the best we’ve ever had.

Brisket tacos were good! Cold beer and Terlingua vibes! Would eat here again! We stopped in on New Year's Day. My wife had the New Year lunch special and loved it!

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.

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 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 in your mouth and dipped in barbecue sauce… delicious! Highly recommend for anyone passing through Terlingua with 30 minutes to spare!

We had the BBQ and everything was great but, the brisket was the best!

I was not to terribly hungry, so I only had a quarter pound of turkey. But that bird was cooked to perfection. If I go back, I’ll be sure to edit this to include more details.
