About Billy's Backyard BBQ

Low-and-slow Texas barbecue served in colossal share boxes makes Billy’s Backyard BBQ an easy win for hungry crowds.

Locals converge on the Mount Cotton spot for the Carnivore Box and Pitmaster Plate—heaping mounds of tender brisket sliced thick with peppered bark, pulled pork, and smoked ribs that send families home with takeaway boxes. The sides hold their own alongside the meat tray. Tables regularly round out their spread with sweet cornbread muffins, house queso, and bacon-wrapped jalapeños before washing it all down with a cold draught beer.

  • The Pitmaster Feast: Crowd-sized share boxes stack brisket, ribs, and pulled pork with portions generous enough to guarantee leftovers.
  • Smokehouse Sides: Sides run distinctly Southern, featuring sweet cornbread muffins, creamy queso, and bacon-wrapped jalapeños.

  • Traditional Southern Sides and Scratch Sauces

    Smoked meats are complemented by distinctive Southern accompaniments including sweet cornbread, pickled onions, and house sauces crafted with care.

    What I didn't expect was the sauces, the pickled onions, the tart but creamy crunchy coleslaw. The sweetcorn bread.

House-made sides and appetizers that complete your Texas smokehouse spread

  • Cornbread Muffins

    The cornbread muffins were great, savoury but also bit sweeter than normal, nice contrast to the Chipotle sauce and poppers.

Before you head over

Practical advice on platter sizing, sauce pairings, and pacing your smokehouse feast.

  • Plan on Sharing Platters or Bringing a Doggy Bag

    Portion sizes across the BBQ share boxes like the Pitmaster Plate and Carnivore Box are exceptionally large; diners consistently find they comfortably feed groups of two to four with generous leftovers to take home.

  • Ask for Extra House Sauces Upfront

    Smoked cuts can vary in moisture, so order extra house barbecue or chipotle sauce at the counter to keep heavier bark cuts balanced and juicy throughout your meal.

  • Pace Yourself with Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeños

    Bite into the bacon-wrapped jalapeños and spicy poppers gradually or save them toward the end of your meal, as tackling them first can easily overwhelm your palate with intense heat.
