Halal barbecue expansion in Texas

Overview

Halal-certified barbecue establishments are expanding within Texas as Muslim pitmasters integrate Islamic dietary guidelines into the state’s traditional culinary landscape.

Recognized venues such as Fort Worth-based Goldee’s BBQ, which holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand award, now serve halal brisket, turkey, and lamb alongside classic items. This movement includes at least a dozen barbecue spots in the state offering halal options. Other notable businesses include Levant Mediterranean BBQ in Houston and Frisco, as well as the forthcoming Yearby’s Barbecue & Waterice in Plano, which is operated by a Black Muslim couple.
