Thursday has a way of sneaking up on you.

One minute it’s Monday.
The next minute you’re standing in line deciding how much brisket is too much brisket.

(There is no correct answer.)

📍7548 E. Grand Ave, Dallas
⏰ Today • 11AM until sold out (or 8PM)

Come early. Come hungry.

🔥 THE LINE BETWEEN HUNGRY AND HAPPY. 🔥

Turns out it’s about a quarter-inch thick and wrapped in black bark.

📍7548 E. Grand Ave, Dallas
⏰ Thurs–Sat • 11AM until sold out (or 8PM)

🔥 THE ANNIVERSARY PARTY’S OVER. THE SMOKE ISN’T. 🔥

⏰ Thursday–Saturday • 11AM until sold out (or 8PM)

Come early. Come hungry.

🔥 BEFORE THE BRISKET. 🔥

Meet the East Dallas Tw***ie.

A jalapeño stuffed with cheddar, cream cheese, and chopped brisket.

Wrapped in bacon. Smoked low and slow. Finished with our BBQ honey glaze.

Sweet. Smoky. Spicy.

The perfect way to start a tray.

📍7548 E. Grand Ave, Dallas
⏰ Saturdays • Starting at 11AM until sold out

One is never enough.

🔥 TWO YEARS IN. STILL HUNGRY. 🔥

Two years ago, it was a smoker, a pop-up tent, and a lot of figuring it out as we went.

Since then, we’ve served barbecue out of parking lots, graduated to a trailer, met thousands of people, and built something bigger than we ever imagined.

These photos tell a small part of that story.

The best part isn’t the trailer or the growth.

It’s the people.

The ones who showed up in the beginning.
The ones who kept coming back.
The ones standing in line today.

June 8 marks two years since we launched Larkin barbecue into the world.

Looking back, we’re grateful.

Looking ahead, we’re hungry.

East Dallas, thank you for riding with us.

🔥 SOME IDEAS ARE TOO GOOD TO KEEP IN THE TEST KITCHEN. 🔥

Beef ribs are officially joining the Saturday lineup.

Big bark. Rich smoke. Rendered fat. The kind of barbecue that makes you slow down and appreciate what’s sitting in front of you.

They take more time. More patience. More fire.

Turns out they’re worth it.

Starting Saturday as part of our 2 Year Anniversary celebration.

📍7548 E. Grand Ave, Dallas
⏰ Saturday • 11AM until sold out (or 8PM)

Come hungry. These aren’t small ribs.

🔥 TWO YEARS LATER, WE’RE STILL HAVING FUN WITH THIS. 🔥
🛑SOLD OUT🛑

This Saturday marks our 2 Year Anniversary, and we’re celebrating the best way we know how:

By giving y’all more barbecue.

Starting this weekend, we’re adding new Saturday specials to the lineup:

🍌 Homemade Banana Pudding
🔥 Beef Ribs
🌶️ East Dallas Tw***ies

The smoke’s still rolling. The fire’s still burning. We just found a few more ways to make Saturdays better.

📍7548 E. Grand Ave, Dallas
⏰ Saturday • 11AM until sold out (or 8PM)

Come hungry. You might need a bigger tray.

🔥 WE FINALLY DID IT. 🔥

Homemade banana pudding is officially joining the Saturday lineup.

Made from scratch, including the whipped cream. Layered with vanilla wafers and real banana slices, packed into a 16 oz cup, and built to share.

(Or not. We’re not here to judge.)

We’ve been working on this one for a while, and there didn’t seem like a better time to introduce it than our 2 Year Anniversary Celebration.

Starting Saturday, June 6:

🍌 Homemade Banana Pudding
🔥 Beef Ribs
🌶️ East Dallas Tw***ies

Same smoke. A few new traditions.

📍7548 E. Grand Ave, Dallas
⏰ Saturdays • Starting June 6

Save room for dessert.

🔥 FRIDAY CALLED. IT SAID DON’T COOK TONIGHT. 🔥
🛑SOLD OUT🛑

The trailer’s open, the smoke’s rolling, and there’s a very good chance your dinner plans should involve brisket and butcher paper.

Honestly, the hardest decision you should make today is ribs or burnt ends.

📍7548 E. Grand Ave, Dallas
⏰ Today • 11AM until sold out (or 8PM)

Feed the crew.

🔥 IT ALWAYS STARTS WITH THE FIRE. 🔥

Before the brisket gets sliced. Before the trailer opens. Before the first order hits the window.

There’s this.

One person. One fire. One more day betting on smoke, patience, and doing things the hard way.

Most people only see the finished product.

The story starts here.

🔥 Feed the fire. Feed the crew.

🔥 THE TRAILER’S HOT AGAIN, EAST DALLAS. 🔥

The smoke’s rolling, brisket’s getting sliced, and the line’s about to start forming again.

Honestly, there are worse ways to spend a Thursday afternoon.

📍7548 E. Grand Ave, Dallas
⏰ Today • 11AM until sold out (or 8PM)

Come early. Come hungry.

🔥 THE FIRE NICO KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT IT’S DOING. 🔥

Chopped brisket.
Sliced turkey.
Jalapeños.
Larkin BBQ sauce.

A little smoke. A little heat. A whole lot of reasons to order it again. And again. And again.

Some sandwiches try too hard.

This one just shows up and gets the job done.

📍7548 E. Grand Ave, Dallas
⏰ Thurs–Sat • 11AM until sold out (or 8PM)

Fair warning: regular sandwiches start feeling a little boring after this one.

🔥 BEFORE THERE WAS A TRAILER, THERE WAS JUST THIS SMOKER AND A WHOLE LOT OF UNKNOWN. 🔥

Early mornings feeding fires before the sun came up.
Late nights wondering if any of this would actually work.

A lot of risk. A lot of sacrifice. A lot of praying over something that didn’t come with guarantees.

This smoker saw all of it.

The first briskets. The test cooks. The exhausting weekends. The moments we thought we were crazy for trying.

But it also gave us opportunity. Purpose. A way to build something for our family with our own hands.

Two years later, the smoke’s still rolling.

And honestly… we’re just getting started.

🔥 TWO YEARS OF SMOKE, FIRE, AND EAST DALLAS SHOWING UP. 🔥

This weekend we’re celebrating TWO YEARS of Larkin Barbecue.

What started as a leap of faith and a smoker in the driveway somehow turned into this little barbecue trailer community we get to serve every week.

To celebrate, we’re rolling out NEW weekend specials starting Saturday 6/6. Same smoke. New flavors. 👀

YOUR WEEKEND LINEUP:

🔥 THURSDAY 6/4
🔥 FRIDAY 6/5
🔥 SATURDAY 6/6 — 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

⏰ 11AM until sold out (or 8PM)
📍7548 E. Grand Ave, Dallas

East Dallas — thank y’all for riding with us these last two years. Let’s make this weekend a good one.

🔥 TWO YEARS AGO THIS WAS JUST A BIG LEAP OF FAITH. 🔥

Two weeks after moving into a new house, Sean lost his job in healthcare recruitment.

We had a toddler at home, another baby on the way, and a smoker sitting in the driveway with no guarantees attached to it.

Just faith, family, and a belief that maybe this crazy idea could become something real.

Now here we are getting ready to celebrate two years of Larkin Barbecue.

A whole lot of smoke, sacrifice, long nights, and East Dallas support later — we’re still here.

And we’re grateful for every single person that helped us make it this far. ❤️

🔥 THE FIRE’S NEVER JUST BEEN ABOUT THE FOOD. 🔥

It’s about building something our kids can grow up around.

Long nights at the trailer. Smoke in our clothes. Family dinners eaten late. Weekends spent feeding people instead of slowing down.

Every brisket sliced, every tray boxed up, every early morning fire — it all points back to the same thing:

Family.

This place is our dream, but they’re our why.

And every time East Dallas shows up for us, you’re helping us build it together.

That means more than y’all probably know.

🔥 SATURDAY’S LOOKING REAL GOOD, EAST DALLAS. 🔥
🛑SOLD OUT🛑

Smoke rolling.
Trailer open.
Brisket slicing until it’s gone.

Ribs, turkey, sausage, bacon burnt ends, sandwiches, and enough barbecue to feed whatever the weekend turns into.

Make it a ritual.

📍7548 E. Grand Ave, Dallas
⏰ Today • 11AM until sold out (or 8PM)

Worth the wait.

🔥 THIS SANDWICH HAS ENDED PRODUCTIVE AFTERNOONS. 🔥

Chopped brisket piled high, smoke worked into every bite, sauce dripping onto the butcher paper exactly the way it should.

Messy. Heavy. Slightly unreasonable.

Basically perfect.

📍7548 E. Grand Ave, Dallas
⏰ Thurs–Sat • 11AM until sold out (or 8PM)

Nap afterwards not included.

🔥 FRIDAY’S BUILT FOR BARBECUE. 🔥
🛑SOLD OUT🛑

⏰ Today • 11AM until sold out (or 8PM)

Good smoke. Good people.
