The Got Weekend take
Why go
Cattleack Barbeque has served Texas barbecue since 2013, using Heartbrand Ranch Akaushi Wagyu beef and Duroc pork. At its Gamma Road location, the menu includes brisket, ribs, pulled pork, house-made sausage and the Toddfather sandwich, with crack cake for dessert. Weekly rotating specials give you something else to consider; the restaurant shares them on Instagram and Facebook. Lunch is available for dine-in or takeout Wednesday through Friday and on the first Saturday of each month. Service starts at 10 a.m., and the restaurant warns that lines can form early and meats sometimes sell out. The first-Saturday service includes the full menu. Bring your preferred beverage if you like—BYOB is encouraged—or buy bottled sodas and teas on-site. Payment is by credit card only.
