The BBQ Social Club Experience
Our Philosophy
At BBQ Social Club, we don’t just serve barbecue — we create an experience. Inside our tent, you’ll find the sights, sounds, and tastes that define Texas hospitality at its finest. Our mission is simple: bring great people together over legendary barbecue, top-shelf drinks, and live Texas music.
Whether you’re a first-timer or a long-time partner, our team is committed to making every guest feel like welcome. We’re built on three things — quality, connection, and celebration — and we live them out every night of the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo BBQ Cook-Off.
From the first welcome drink to the last song of the night, every detail is designed to make it feel like you’re right at home… if home came with 7 full bars, a live band, and a 2 roasted hogs.
Texas Hospitality
Hospitality isn’t a tagline here — it’s our backbone.
Every year at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo World Championship Bar-B-Que Contest, we open our tent to guests looking for an authentic Texas experience — and we deliver it in full.
Inside our massive black tent, guests step into an atmosphere that feels like the best upscale backyard party in Texas — only bigger, louder, and with better barbecue.
From the moment guests walk in, they’re greeted with a smile, a drink one way with food the other, and the kind of Texas welcome you can’t fake. The music’s live, the lights are warm, and the atmosphere runs on BBQ, live music, and good old-fashioned hospitality.
Our Community
BBQ Social Club is more than an event — it’s a community built around shared values, strong connections, and a genuine desire to give back.
We proudly support the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo and stand alongside Cowboys 4 Heroes, our partners in service who provide meals and support for military families and first responders. Together, we’re committed to making a real difference in the lives of our neighbors Whether we’re raising funds, volunteering time, or simply bringing people together, we believe in using our tent as a platform for good. The friendships, partnerships, and memories formed here extend well beyond the BBQ Cook-Off.
When you’re with us, you’re part of something bigger — a Texas tradition rooted in quality, connection, and celebration.
