According to the city’s Facebook post, Outpost 36 serves up a menu that includes brisket, sausage, ribs, pulled pork, turkey and chicken to less-common options like smoked bologna, Texas brisket chili and “armadillo eggs”—cheese-filled jalapenos wrapped with sausage and bacon.
The backstory
The post went on to state that the Texas barbecue spot is the second venture for partners Jeff Lowery, Dwight Dowell and Chris Polk, whose Horizon 76 just next door has been serving diners since the summer of 2020. Like Horizon 76, this project called for a significant renovation—area residents may recognize this building as the old Golden Corral—and a history-focused theme; Horizon is a nod to American independence in 1776, while Outpost honors Texas independence secured from Mexico in 1836.
The details
According to the city’s post, the space features the following:
- Indoor and outdoor seating areas
- A private dining room and custom-made smokers named in honor of Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings
- A live feed of the smokers to watch from the dining room
