A Fort Worth BBQ superstar is calling it quits: Brix Barbecue<\/a>, which has been serving some of the city’s best barbecue for eight years, will close its location at 1012 S. Main St.<\/p>\n

According to a post from owner Trevor Sales, the last day will be August 17.<\/p>\n

“While we love the BBQ World, we have decided it\u2019s time to move on,” Sales said. “As the restaurant landscape has changed, so have my passions, family life, career, and what\u2019s important to me. I still love to cook and serve others and plan to continue to do that through my private dining concept, Tallow.”<\/p>\n

Their plan is to lease their restaurant space or sell it as is to another restaurateur. <\/p>\n

“Is this the end of Brix Barbecue? I don\u2019t know, probably,” Sales said. “Though I can tell you it won\u2019t be the last time you eat something from me.”<\/p>\n

Sales founded Brix as a small backyard operation in 2017, and went on to grow the concept into an acclaimed BBQ purveyor, recognized on Texas Monthly’s top 50 BBQ list<\/a> with an honorable mention and CultureMap Fort Worth’s Tastemaker Awards<\/a> in 2025.<\/p>\n

Initially, Sales would smoke briskets and share them with colleagues, then began selling his barbecue, naming the business after his rescued Boxer-terrier mix, Brix. Brix Barbecue gained popularity through pop-ups, catering, and a residency at the Americado food hall, before settling into its current location in the South Main Village.<\/p>\n

Standout items included the tomahawk pork chop, pork belly porchetta, and burnt-end topped pancakes, as well as the usual BBQ classics such as brisket, ribs, sausage, plus a rotating monthly sausage link.<\/p>\n

The kitchen often released creative specials such as a breakfast burrito spiked with brisket or Chicago-style Italian beef sandwiches with authentic giardiniera peppers; Sales previously lived in the Chicago area.<\/p>\n

They also hosted BBQ classes for those who wanted to do it themselves.<\/p>\n

Sales says that, in the next few weeks, they’ll bring back specials that were a hit with customers over the years, such as the Funkytown hot chicken sandwich.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Fort Worth BBQ superstar is calling it quits: Brix Barbecue, which has been serving some of the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":102292,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5138],"tags":[5229,26874,22790,7371,7372,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-102291","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-barbecue","10":"tag-closings","11":"tag-fort-worth","12":"tag-fortworth","13":"tag-texas","14":"tag-tx","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-united-states-of-america","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102291\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
