RestaurantLong Draw Pizza
Pesto pizza of the day—crisp, blistered crust with a bold herb bite.

DB's Rustic Iron BBQ serves West Texas BBQ with a dog-friendly, covered patio and a mesquite-smoked scent that fills the air. Brisket stays moist and tender with a firm bark, ribs slide off the bone with a smoky snap, and turkey stays juicy. A $50 bundle (1/2 lb brisket, 1/2 lb ribs, and a brisket sandwich) feeds three, making it a strong value; the vibe stays casual and rustic with live music and striking desert views.
Skip the generic plate and go straight for Brisket as the centerpiece—the cult favorite. For drinks, pair with ranch waters or local beer to balance the smoke.

Brisket is consistently moist and tender with a strong smoke; ribs are smoky and fall-off-the-bone; turkey stays juicy. One note mentions dry pork ribs, but overall the BBQ earns high praise and is considered a top Texas option.
