How to Order Barbecue Online
If you’re like us, there’s nothing quite like the smoky, rich flavor of good Texas BBQ. But what if you’re states away from the BBQ capital of Texas? No worries — thanks to the internet, you can now get that authentic Central Texas BBQ experience delivered right to your doorstep when placing your barbecue order online.
How to Ensure Quality When You Order BBQ Online
Placing a barbecue order online is a bit different from walking up to your favorite BBQ joint, taking in the aroma, and ordering a mouthwatering plate of smoked meats. So, how can you make sure you’re getting the best quality? What should you look for in an online BBQ vendor? Well, we’ve got you covered. Here’s your go-to guide to order BBQ online, plus a little insight into what makes Black’s BBQ stand out as your top choice for smoky goodness.
What to Look for When You Order BBQ Online
1. Go with a BBQ Joint That Knows What It’s Doing
When you order BBQ online, you’re trusting a brand to bring the Texas BBQ experience to you, so make sure you’re ordering from a place that knows what it’s doing. Here at Black’s BBQ, we’ve been smoking meat since 1932—that’s over 90 years of tradition, family recipes, and expertise packed into every slice of brisket or rack of ribs.
With four generations of BBQ know-how, you can trust that we take BBQ seriously. There’s something special about knowing the meat you’re ordering was prepared by a family-owned business with nearly a century of experience behind it.
2. Packaging That Preserves the Flavor
Packaging is key when it comes to shipping food, and BBQ is no exception. The best BBQ joints will ensure that the smoky, juicy flavor is locked in until it arrives on your doorstep. Look for vendors that use high-quality, insulated packaging to keep everything frozen during shipping.
At Black’s BBQ, we take extra care to vacuum-seal our meats and use insulated packaging with dry ice to keep your order fresh.
3. Meat Selection and Quality
When it comes to barbecue, variety is important. Sure, you might have a favorite cut of meat, but sometimes you want to mix it up. Make sure the BBQ joint you’re ordering from has a range of meats to choose from. Black’s BBQ is known for our melt-in-your-mouth brisket, giant dino ribs, and handmade sausage, all smoked low and slow over Texas oak wood. And if you’re looking for something different, we also offer smoked turkey, pork ribs, and chicken. Every cut is cooked to perfection and full of that deep, smoky flavor that defines true Texas BBQ.
4. Authenticity — Because You Want the Real Deal
When you order barbecue online, you want it to be authentic. You don’t want something that’s been overly processed or loaded with extra seasonings to cover up the flavor. The best BBQ comes from traditional methods, minimal seasoning, and a whole lot of care.
At Black’s BBQ, we’ve been doing things the same way for generations. Our brisket is seasoned with a special blend of salt and pepper and other spices, letting the quality of the meat and the slow smoking process do the heavy lifting. We smoke everything the traditional way — over indirect heat with Texas oak wood — and the result is BBQ that speaks for itself.
How to Ensure Quality When Ordering BBQ Online
If you’re new to ordering BBQ online, it can feel like a bit of a gamble. But don’t worry, there are a few easy ways to make sure you’re getting high-quality BBQ, even if you’re hundreds of miles away from the pit. Here’s what you should check for:
- Freshness: Look for BBQ joints that ship promptly after preparing the food. At Black’s BBQ, we ship our smoked meats as soon as possible after cooking. Plus, our vacuum-sealed packaging locks in all that smoky goodness, ensuring it tastes just as fresh as the day we smoked it.
- Reheating Instructions: Even the best BBQ can lose its magic if it’s reheated the wrong way. Make sure the BBQ vendor you’re ordering from provides clear, simple reheating instructions. When you order from Black’s BBQ, we include step-by-step instructions that help you bring your meat back to its original, juicy, smoky state.
- Customer Support: You want to feel confident about your order, right? A good BBQ joint will have a support team ready to answer any questions or concerns. If anything goes wrong with your order, they’ll be there to make it right. At Black’s, we stand by our products and are happy to help if something doesn’t meet your expectations.
Why Black’s BBQ Should Be Your Top Choice
Now, let’s get to the part we know you’re waiting for — why your true Texas BBQ order should be from Black’s BBQ when you order BBQ online. We love our barbecue and we know you will, too!
1. Family Tradition That Spans Nearly a Century
At Black’s BBQ, we’ve been serving up smoked meat for over 90 years, and we’ve stayed true to our roots. As one of the oldest family-owned BBQ joints in Texas, we’re proud to uphold our tradition of slow-smoked, mouthwatering BBQ. When you order from us, you’re getting a piece of Texas history delivered straight to your door.
Black’s BBQ has earned its reputation as the go-to spot for beef brisket, and it’s all thanks to Edgar Black, Jr. He was the first in the country to serve brisket as the centerpiece of his BBQ offerings. Before this, BBQ joints would cook whatever cuts were leftover from the meat market. But Edgar made a bold move — he focused entirely on the brisket cut, revolutionizing Texas BBQ and setting a new standard that many have since followed.
"When I first started selling brisket, there weren't half a dozen barbecue joints that sold it,” he said. “Now, I bet you couldn't find half a dozen that don't sell it."
2. Unique Meat Selections That You Won’t Find Everywhere
Sure, you can find brisket and ribs at plenty of BBQ places, but there’s something about Black’s that keeps people coming back for more. Our giant dino ribs are legendary, and our handmade sausage is crafted using recipes passed down through the generations.
3. Nationwide Shipping
We know how hard it is to get true Texas BBQ if you’re living outside of Texas. That’s why we ship nationwide, bringing the best of Central Texas BBQ to your doorstep. We use high-quality packaging to ensure your meat arrives fresh and flavorful, no matter where you live. You’ll feel like you’ve just sat down at our family table in Lockhart.
4. The True Texas BBQ Experience
When you order from Black’s, you’re getting more than just barbecue — you’re getting a true Texas bbq experience. Our smoked meats are cooked low and slow over Texas oak wood, just like they have been since 1932. We don’t rely on fancy sauces or marinades. Instead, we let the natural flavors of the meat and smoke shine through, giving you a taste of Texas in every bite. We even sell our sauces and rubs so you can make your own BBQ at home.
So, what can we get ya?
Ordering BBQ online is easier than ever, but it’s important to know what to look for so you get the best possible experience.

Here at Black’s BBQ, we’ve been perfecting the art of BBQ for nearly 100 years, and now we’re proud to bring that experience to you, no matter where you are.
