Celebrating a Time-Honored Texas Tradition with Bold Flavors and Southern Flair
As the aroma of smoked meat begins to fill the Texas air, Soulman’s Bar-B-Que is kicking off National Bar-B-Que Month with a savory celebration of the time-honored tradition that’s been at the heart of their menu—and their mission—for more than 50 years.
May marks the official start of barbecue season in the Lone Star State, and for North Texans, that means returning to a family favorite known for its legendary low-and-slow smoked meats and homestyle sides. From brisket to ribs, Soulman’s Bar-B-Que continues to deliver the comforting, crowd-pleasing flavors that have made them a go-to destination for generations.
“At Soulman’s, barbecue isn’t just a meal—it’s a way of life,” says Brett Randle, CEO of Soulman’s Bar-B-Que. “As a family-owned business, we’ve always believed in honoring the traditions of great Texas barbecue while continuing to evolve to serve our guests better. Whether it’s feeding a family of four or catering a backyard bash for 40, our team is passionate about sharing quality smoked meat and made-from-scratch sides that bring people together.”
Soulman’s is continuing to push the boundaries of convenience and customer experience, with new innovations to match their classic flavors including the Soulman’s mobile app, which streamlines the ordering process for busy customers and makes it easier than ever to enjoy Texas barbecue on the go. Whether through in-store pickup, delivery, or custom catering, Soulman’s is committed to bringing the ‘cue to wherever hungry Texans are gathering.
“As much as we love the smoke and the sizzle, we’re just as proud of how we serve our community,” adds Randle. “From family-friendly dining in each of our North Texas locations to our unbeatable takeout and catering options, we’re doing everything we can to bring a seamless, satisfying Soulman’s experience to every guest.” The Soulman’s Bar-B-Que app is available now on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
