Securing a solid supply of barbecue can be a struggle these days. Your local barbecue joint or nearby favorite might be temporarily closed. Many of the Texas joints offering takeout will drop off your order curbside, but it’s understandable if you still feel uneasy about leaving home to get it. Or maybe you have the misfortune of not living in Texas and have a smoked brisket craving you can’t ignore. Below you can find links to the barbecue joints that ship nationwide from Texas. If you’d rather smoke it yourself, keep scrolling for a listing of meat suppliers that will deliver raw meat (a.k.a. future barbecue) to your door.
Barbecue shipped nationwide Because it’s always a good idea to keep a whole brisket or a rack of ribs in the freezer in these uncertain times.
407 BBQ in Argyle is building an online store. For now, use its website contact page to place an order.
Black’s BBQ in Lockhart, Austin, and New Braunfels ships their barbecue, but you can’t buy a whole brisket. Four pounds of fatty or lean brisket (including shipping* costs) will run you a total of $87.53.
Cooper’s Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que in Llano currently applies an automatic 10 percent discount to a whole brisket order, which includes a bottle of sauce, for $86.36. The total for a whole brisket ($14.57 for shipping) is $100.93.
Eddie B’s BBQ in Austin ships mesquite smoked barbecue. A whole brisket (4 pounds**) including shipping is just $90, or just $65 with free delivery to Austin, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, and Pflugerville.
Evie Mae’s Pit Barbeque in Wolfforth ships whole briskets and smoked prime rib, but only on Tuesdays for orders placed by the previous Friday. For a brisket less than 6 pounds, the cost with shipping is $155. A larger size brisket (over 6 pounds) is $175.

Shipping through Goldbelly is available from several Texas barbecue joints. The retail site just added Terry Black’s BBQ to the lineup as well. The prices may be a little jarring, but remember that they include shipping costs and the expensive packaging required to ship barbecue from Texas to brisket-starved states across the country. Goldbelly is also offering a $15 discount on each of your first three orders.
Davila’s BBQ in Seguin sells a whole brisket (4.5 pounds) on the site for $119.

It offers three sizes of brisket, but only the largest (6.5-7.4 pounds) is currently available, for $279. A less expensive option is a rack of its famous beef ribs for $199.

Raw meat shipped nationwide
Getting barbecue delivered to your front porch is nice, but I know there are folks who have the time and the inclination to smoke their own. Rather than a grocery store run, you can order raw meat from these suppliers. We highlighted the availability of brisket and other barbecue cuts, but many are sold out, so you might have to settle for a thick, juicy steak instead.
Texas meat companies:
1915 Farm near Victoria raises grass-fed beef. It’s currently sold out of briskets, but a rack of beef short ribs is $22, and the shipping cost* is $25.
Chapman 3C Cattle Company in Hico sells a variety of all-natural beef cuts including brisket flats and points for $68 each (currently sold out of whole briskets). Beef short ribs and beef cheeks are also available. Shipping costs $14.96 per package.
44 Farms in Cameron is currently sold out of beef short ribs, but you can buy plenty of steaks.
A Bar N Ranch in Sherman ships its Texas Wagyu beef including steaks and ground beef. Shipping costs $20. Raw briskets can be purchased as well, but must be picked up in Dallas or Celina.
Augustus Ranch in Yoakum sells a variety of all natural, pasture-raised beef and pork cuts. It doesn’t currently have briskets available, but it does have pork shoulders. Shipping costs $14.58 per package.
Broken Arrow Ranch in Ingram sells game meats like wild boar, venison, and lamb. A rack of boar chops is $30. There is a $50 minimum order to ship anything, and shipping costs $11.88.
Hassell Cattle Company in Rusk raises Texas Wagyu beef and ships steaks, roasts, and ground beef. Shipping is just $10.
Local Yocal Meat Market in McKinney ships multiple cuts of Wagyu and Angus beef. Shipping is around $20 per package.
Longhorn Meat Market in Austin offers curbside pickup, local delivery, and shipping. It accepts only online preorders, but briskets are a deal at just $46 for a 9-11 pound brisket.
Texas Beefhouse in East Texas ships Wagyu and Angus beef. You can order it by the whole and half beef. Briskets are currently sold out, but it has plenty of steaks and ground beef. Shipping costs $25 per order.
Local delivery available in Texas cities:
American Butchers in Dallas is offering door-to-door delivery to the Dallas area. Call 214-655-MEAT for availability.
Bone-in Butcher Shop in Dallas is delivering to the DFW area. It’s selling briskets and beef ribs, as well as baby back ribs, and pork shoulder. Parker Creek Ranch in San Antonio is delivering to the San Antonio area and offers pasture-raised chicken and pork, and grass-fed beef.
Other options for U.S. delivery:
Allen Brothers out of Chicago carries Wagyu, prime, and dry-aged beef. The cheapest brisket is a 10-pound Wagyu for $172.46 plus $25 in shipping costs.
Belcampo, based in California, offers sustainable meats like organic, grass-fed beef. A whole 9 pound brisket costs $80. Free shipping is available for orders over $100. Crowd Cow carries a number of beef and pork cuts from various ranchers around the world. It’s a good source for steaks, chops, and burgers, but the least expensive brisket it offers right now is a Japanese Wagyu brisket flat (4.5 lbs) for $202.50.
D’Artagnan offers a “barbecue collection” of beef and pork ribs, pork shoulders, and even whole pork bellies. They don’t carry whole briskets, but you can get a 7 pound brisket flat for $110. I can also attest that its whole ducks (I like the Rohan variety) turn out great in the smoker.
Omaha Steaks might be the first name you think of when you think mail-order meat. It has plenty of steaks and burgers, but is currently sold out of pork ribs and briskets. Pat LaFrieda Meat Purveyors in New York sells prime and dry-aged steaks as well as burgers through Goldbelly.
Pine Street Market in Georgia caries a variety of beef, pork, and chicken cuts. It offers a half brisket of about 5 pounds for $48. Shipping is free for orders of $100 or more.
Snake River Farms sells several options for Wagyu and Prime grade briskets. The least expensive brisket is currently a 16-18 pound Wagyu brisket for $169. Standard shipping costs just $10.
Happy smoking!
And beer!
I can make it better than anything I can buy from anyone else.
same here- owner of two smokers and a Weber charcoal grill....and a weber gas grill which has been used once in the past three years.
This list skips the entire state of NC. Parker’s ships, Skylight Inn ships, King’s Ships, Monk’s ships, even 12 Bones in Asheville does.
Better yet I got my son in law squared away and he does a real good smoked brisket which leaves me time to do side dishes and corn bread. I’ll be eating Easter leftovers today and probably tomorrow too.
I’ll just drop a deer in the back yard near the grill.
I find pastrami to be the most sensual of all the salted, cured meats.
Bless you!
I like all kinds of Bar-B-Q, but the best is pork.
Also just cook/smoke the meat then add whatever sauce you like.

This list is for real BBQ, beef BBQ.
Well I guess that rules out the majority of Texas then, they call any old thing they throw over a fire barbecue.

I had the opportunity to introduce a bunch of Good Ole Southern boys to BBQ beef ribs. They couldn’t get enough of them. As I told them: “After a BBQ beef rib, you’ll through rocks at the next pig you see.”
Seriously though, I do like pork ribs but the thing I miss most about living in Alabama is being unable to get good Texas style BBQ. Brisket is great but I’ll take beef ribs over pork any day.
Being Alabamian I suppose you squirt mayonnaise all over them, lol.
I’m sad that Killen’s BBQ, Pearland TX. isn’t on the list. KILLENS, SHINERBOCK and BLUEBELL...the TEXAS TRIFECTA

I may live in Alabama but that doesn’t mean I was born here. True Okie all the way. We squirt tomato based BBQ sauces.
BIG BOOKMARK!
Pastrami on rye with brown mustard and a kosher dill pickle on the side.
Just my Eastern European genes calling.
That sounds pretty good to this old Southern boy.
