Woodpile BBQ
In: Eating
31 Jul 2012
(map) Next Saturday, August 11, the West’s newest barbecue trailer arrives on the scene. (The chef graciously agreed to sample his ‘cue early with nosy bloggers friends and family.) In a state known for elevating the application of smoke to beef, Woodpile is going to be a serious contender. The all-natural beef brisket is so tender, you could cut it with a plastic fork. Juicy pork ribs, burnt ends, and tangy cheese-and-jalapeno sausage round out the offerings in the meat department. Sides are made in-house, with the beans actually cooked on the grill, giving them a smoky-molasses flavor. Jalapeno-corn muffins are chunky with corn kernels.
Woodpile offers three kinds of pie from that temple of pie-dom, Royers Round Top Cafe. Buttermilk, chocolate chip and the classic Texas pecan are served up with scoops of Amy’s Ice Cream. The molasses flavor is exclusive to this trailer, and marries surprisingly well with barbecue.

We were there on Saturday and I have to admit, that brisket was beyond belief good! People are going to love Woodpile BBQ!

Hi Levi-Excellent brisket and cornbread (love the whole kernels in the muffins–tastes more like corn). The cubed brisket bits were strong-not my favorite but good to nibble on–I couldn’t eat too many of those. They’d be a great snack with a cold beer, though. The link was delicious (both helpings!); nice and juicy. Of course I also like traditional links made of a beef/pork blend, w/o cheese or peppers in them. Didn’t get a sample of ribs—must’ve missed out on those. The beans were too firm, for my liking, and a tad too sweet. Royer’s pecan pie was excellent. The pickles, onions and jalepenos were nice and fresh. All in all a delicious meal. Thanks and good luck!

Incredible food served by a kind and gracious couple! Great grass fed beef, flavored and smoked to perfection! One bite of that brisket and you’ll have to come back for more! Rib meat just fell off the bone! The sides were a nice surprise compared to usual choices available when grabbing some BBQ. The corn muffins were our favorite. My family is looking forward to visiting the Woodpile BBQ trailer on their opening day and many more Saturdays to come!
