Nathan's BBQ is a renowned Texas barbecue restaurant located in Brenham, TX, offering authentic, old-school Texas-style barbecue that has been passed down through generations of the Winkelmann family. They use Texas-style BBQ pits and a combination of lump charcoal and Pecan wood to infuse their meats with rich, smoky flavors.

With a history rooted in Nathan's take-out plate BBQ business that started in the 1980s, the restaurant has grown into a bustling establishment that can accommodate up to 100 guests indoors and 40 on the patio. The new dining room, adorned with recycled iron doors and wood from an old feed store, exudes a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making diners feel like they're visiting an old friend. Nathan's BBQ has been recognized as the Brenham Banner-Press Reader's Choice Best Barbecue for six consecutive years, solidifying its reputation as a true Texas original.
