It’s that time of year!
Our Thanksgiving orders are officially live.
For years, we’ve been offering up smoked turkeys, whole briskets, pineapple-glazed hams, and all the sides you need to complete your Thanksgiving table. Our holiday meals have become a tradition at many gatherings and some of the most sought-after orders we offer all year.
Now’s the time to secure yours.
From the turkey and brisket to the cranberry sauce and sides, everything comes fully cooked, packaged to hold in your refrigerator or ice chest, and includes our time-tested reheating instructions to make your day in the kitchen as easy as possible.
Let us do the hard work. You take the credit.
One warning: these orders move fast. We’ve maxed out our Thanksgiving production capacity in years past, and when we sell out, that’s all we’ve got.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. Get your Thanksgiving order in now.

Summer sausage is a classic here in Texas.
Anyone who grew up in a family that hunts has had their fair share of it, and I was lucky enough to grow up in just such a family. I spent many springs and summers enjoying venison summer sausage made from the previous year’s hunt.
Our Beef & Cheddar Summer Sausage is an homage to those days. We craft it with Prime-grade brisket and chunks of Tillamook cheddar, then slowly smoke it over post oak. It’s served chilled and sliced thin, alongside fennel mustard and locally grown farm vegetables that we pickle in-house each week.
It’s an excellent addition to a summer tray of Texas barbecue.

Lengua has deep roots in South Texas, with a history that traces back to the cattle drives from Mexico through Texas. Growing up in Corpus Christi, it's always been one of my favorite dishes, and it's one I love sharing with others. When it's cooked properly, it has a way of turning doubters into true believers.
We introduced our Barbecued Lengua during the last round of specials, and the response was incredible. I wanted share a dish I grew up loving in an approachable way. Personally, I think it's one of the best new proteins we've added to the menu lately. It's made me happy to watch people take a chance on it, only to be surprised by how much they enjoyed it.
Lengua delivers a rich, beefy flavor with an incredibly tender bite that's unlike any other cut of beef. We serve it with a fire-roasted salsa picante and you can pair it homemade flour tortilla for a taste of South Texas.
Our Barbecued Lengua will be available through September 6th.

Smoked & Fire-Roasted ½ Boneless Chicken with Poblano Green Curry Paste, Sweet Corn Royale, and Crispy Shallots.
This is everything we want a half chicken to be. The balance of smoke and live-fire char takes classic BBQ and puts a modern touch on it. We finish it with a poblano coconut curry sauce, sweet corn royale, and crispy shallots for a combination that's rich, bright, and full of texture.
The thing I like best is that its boneless. That means every bite is juicy, with both white and dark meat in every serving. You can eat it with a fork and knife, but we'd recommend skipping the utensils and using your hands.
Available through September 6, with our next specials menu launching on September 8.

BBQ Lion's Mane Steak with Pecan Macha.
The pursuit of knowledge, innovation, and new flavor expressions has been a driving principle at InterStellar BBQ since day one. The reason this dish works is in the details—the gray area most people never see—where a good dish becomes a great one.
For this dish, our team dry-brines, confits, and presses the Lion's Mane mushrooms over two days. Each order is then finished hot and fast over direct heat before being topped with our house-made pecan macha.
To us, this dish is an expression of what BBQ can be when you think outsidethe box. It's rooted in the same techniques, patience, and respect for fire that defines everything we do.
The BBQ Lion's Mane Steak will be available through September 8 alongside our current specials menu. We can't wait for y'all to try it.

When an entire city believes in you, the grind becomes bigger than you. Every step forward is for the people who believed before the world did.
I’m grateful for every opportunity this journey has given me and for the people I’ve met along the way.
Spending time with the team at InterStellar BBQ was an honor. Nothing but respect for what they’ve built and the standard they continue to set. It’s always a privilege to learn, share ideas, and be surrounded by people who are just as passionate about the craft.
To everyone back home in Iowa who has supported me from day one, thank you. I carry that support with me everywhere I go. This journey has always been bigger than me.
