THE MENU
DEAD END TRADING POST
Smoked in-house. Made from scratch. Every day.
SMOKED IN-HOUSE
BBQ MEATS
The real deal — slow-smoked, hand-sliced, with a bark that took all day to build. The reason people come back.
Same brisket, chopped up and mixed with drippings. Great in a sandwich, great on its own.
Big. Smoky. Serious. The kind of rib that takes two hands and zero apologies.
Fall-off-the-bone tender. Smoked low and slow until they’re exactly right.
House-made heat and cheddar packed into every snap. A Dead End original.
Pulled fresh off the smoker. Rich, tender, and ready to go solo or in a sandwich.
Don’t knock it until you’ve had ours. Thick-cut and smoked whole — a Texas BBQ classic.
Available when the brisket cooperates. Ask your server — when they’re gone, they’re gone.
TO START
STARTERS & APPETIZERS
Loaded — BBQ brisket, cheese, jalapeños, all the good stuff piled high on crispy chips. A full meal disguised as an appetizer.
Jalapeños stuffed and wrapped in bacon. Smoky, spicy, a little dangerous. You’ve been warned.
A house specialty. Made in-house with a kick. Ask your server — regulars order these every time.
Wednesday happy hour feature, 2–6 PM. Warm, creamy queso with crispy chips. Simple and exactly right.
HANDHELDS
SANDWICHES & BURGERS
Fresh-pulled smoked pork piled high on a toasted bun. Simple, satisfying, and exactly what a BBQ sandwich should be.
Served with pita chips, smoked cheese, beer mustard, and basting sauce. The sandwich that changes minds about bologna.
Ask your server for today’s build. It changes. It’s always good. That’s the deal.
Chopped or sliced, your choice. Brisket on a toasted bun with house sauce. No wrong answer here.
ON THE SIDE
SIDES
| POTATO SALAD House-made. Creamy and just right. | BAKED BEANS Slow-cooked with brisket drippings. The side that becomes the story. |
| MAC & CHEESE Rich and cheesy. Kids love it. Adults love it more. | COLESLAW Cool and crisp. The perfect contrast to everything coming off the smoker. |

DESSERTS
People drive from Dallas for these. No joke.
Our most-requested dessert — creamy, rich, unforgettable. There is no version of this where you’re disappointed.
The crust alone is worth the drive. Warm cobbler, cold ice cream — the Dead End at its best.
Voted best cobbler by people who eat a lot of cobbler. That’s a real thing and we stand by it.
COLD & REFRESHING
DRINKS
Cold bottles and cans — full selection of domestic and craft options. The way Texas intended.
Red and white selections. A proper companion to brisket and a Texas sunset.
Refreshing frozen drinks — perfect for patio days when the Texas heat is doing its thing.
Light, cold, and easy. A full selection to keep you going.
Made fresh — a guest favorite. Tart, cold, and genuinely good.
Full selection of cold fountain drinks and canned sodas.
Bottled and house water. Stay hydrated — it’s Texas.
Note: We serve beer, wine, and frozen drinks. No liquor or spirits.
SATURDAY & SUNDAY · 8 AM–1 PM
WEEKEND BREAKFAST
Rise and shine at the Dead End. We fire up the smoker early on weekends and the breakfast menu earns every bit of that 4.9 rating.
Biscuit, eggs, home fries, sausage gravy, and cheese — a full start to your Saturday. The kind of breakfast that requires no lunch.
Loaded — eggs, meat, cheese, your way. A hand-held reason to get out of bed before noon on a Sunday.
Yes, for breakfast — we don’t judge. The Dead End has always done things its own way, and this is proof.
