Percy Street Barbecue

We serve barbecue inspired by our travels in the Texas Hill Country. Back in the 1830s, German and Czech butchers brought Old World meat smoking to central Texas. Today’s legendary Hill Country barbecue joints are direct descendants of these meat markets, where the barbecue is served on butcher paper with nothing but white bread, onions and pickles. In these parts, "sauce" can be a dirty word....

Be sure not to joke with the server that you'll "have everything," because there is a prix-fixe option that literally includes everything on the menu.

You can sit at the Texas-sized bar if you want to assure yourself of some lively conversation but the dining room itself is as social and easy going as a bar.
