Lewis Barbecue
Texas BBQ From One of America’s Most Legendary Pitmasters
John Lewis is one of America’s most legendary pitmasters, and he’s earned a cult-like following for his unerring dedication to barbecue, from welding his own custom-designed smokers to waking up at 4 AM to tend to the fire. John was gifted his own smoker for his 18th birthday, and moved to Austin shortly thereafter to start his culinary career. After time in the competitive BBQ circuit, he helped his friend Aaron Franklin open the legendary Franklin Barbecue and partnered with LeAnn Mueller to open the much-loved La Barbecue before moving to Charleston to introduce the Lowcountry to the world of Texas-style barbecue.
Lewis Barbecue opened in June 2016 and since then it’s become renowned as one of America’s best BBQ joints for its honky tonk, laid-back Texas vibe, and expertly-smoked spare ribs, beef ribs, Texas “hot guts” sausage, turkey, and – most famously – legendary Prime beef brisket. This is real-deal Texas ‘cue from one of its most celebrated pitmasters, and now it’s shipping nationwide!
