The Craft Meats Story
Opening in December 2012, Micklethwait Craft Meats began its journey in Central Texas craft barbecue. With a focus on highest quality, everything is scratch-made — from the sausage to the sauces; from the pickles to the bread. Led by pitmaster Tom Micklethwait, our attention to detail and creativity paid off when Texas Monthly named us as one of the “Ten Best Barbecue Joints in Texas” just a few years after opening.
