A few words from The Lot Smokehouse & Beer Garden

Texas-style barbequed meat and sides.

Follow the aroma of Texas-style barbequed meat to find Smokin Hot ‘N Saucy Barbecue on Maitland Road in Islington. This Newcastle food truck has set up a permanent location in the laneway where brightly painted walls, an orange awning and wooden tables set the scene for chowing down on all things meat. Big Tex loves loading up the smoker to cook meat for up to 12 hours with exactly the right temperature and spices to create a mouth-watering dining experience; think platters overloaded with beef, brisket, pork and chicken, with sides of beer-battered onion rings, apple slaw and potato salad. Grab a signature cheeseburger with American cheese, housemade bacon, chipotle mayo, pickles and BBQ sauce; or a Big Tex beef brisket burger topped with pulled pork, slaw, onion rings and BBQ sauce.
