The location that used to be Bob’s Burgers on 1283 has finally been resurrected, and burgers they are not!
On December 3, owners Marcus, his wife, Susan, and partner, Patrick opened up Whiskey Tango Foxtrot BBQ, a restaurant complete with genuine Texas BBQ eats and a colossal smoker.
This veteran-owned business is location number two for the partners, their first being a food truck launched in July 2020 and currently co-located with the Stouthouse Pub in San Antonio. They bring 20+ years of Pitmaster experience to their brand.
Pitmaster, Devin, and Manager, Mady, are son and daughter to owners Marcus and Susan, and run the daily operations.
The Barn has been completely remodeled and offers a rustic, yet fresh atmosphere for doing some serious BBQ indulging. The name? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is a military term – one that they found to be a good fit for their business model with veteran ties.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot cooks up only prime cut meats, which they smoke over oak in a 1,000-gallon smoker all day.
They use their own proprietary rub on the meats and all of their sides, such as mac & cheese, potato salad, pinto beans, creamed corn, and banana pudding are homemade. Some of their traditional meats include brisket, ribs, pork and sausage.
The final result from the smoker renders moist, succulent, classic BBQ flavors that is simply delicious and satisfying.
Marcus emphasizes that their number one rule is consistency, which is preached to all staff.
“We are so excited to be out here. Our biggest joy is seeing people enjoy what we turn out and we plan on being here a long, long time,” he said.
What some customers are saying: “If you’re not trying this place out people then you are cheating yourself!!! Hands down, the Best BBQ in the hill country and beyond.” “Let me say it did not disappoint. If you are not a local it’s definitely worth the drive.”
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to whenever they sell out of BBQ.
They have been selling out between 4-6 p.m., depending on the day.
They are located at 4951 FM 1283, Pipe Creek. Their phone number is 830-850-0944.
In a few months, WTF will also be opening a saloon that adjoins to the restaurant, aptly named Eagles Nest.
