SATX Barbecue at High Cotton Texas Tavern

SATX Barbecue is a Friday and Saturday night draw at High Cotton Texas Tavern in the Canyon Lake area, serving barbecue alongside the venue’s live country music lineup. The operation is led by pitmaster Pete Rangel, and it runs like a true Hill Country pop up. It starts in the evening and goes until the food is sold out, so arriving early is part of the deal.

The menu shows the classics, with brisket, ribs, pulled pork, sausage, turkey, and chicken showing up in their posted lineups. Sides and specials rotate, and recent menus have called out items like charro beans and Southern style slaw, plus smoked and glazed ribs that are easy to make a meal around. SATX Barbecue also advertises preorder options for larger orders like whole briskets and seasonal holiday spreads, which fits the way the business has grown from catering into a trailer-based setup.
