Work smarter not harder

Authentic Texas BBQ Tradition

The Rusty Buckle brings authentic Texas BBQ to Porter, New Caney, Splendora and the surrounding areas. We slow-smoke our meats for hours using 100% real wood smoke, no gas-ever.  Our computer assisted, state of the art equipment, ensures consistent results time after time.

Every plate is crafted with care; from our signature brisket, our creative originals all the way to our house-made sauces. We believe in using only the highest quality ingredients, whether it's in terms of our meat selections, our custom blended spices and seasonings or the process in which we do everything before you arrive to order right up to the moment your plate hits your table, the goal is simple: for you to have the best dining experience possible.  Take your time, enjoy your meal; the only hurry we want you to get in is the hurry to come back!
