A Fort Worth BBQ superstar is calling it quits: Brix Barbecue, which has been serving some of the city's best barbecue for eight years, will close its location at 1012 S. Main St.

According to a post from owner Trevor Sales, the last day will be August 17.

"While we love the BBQ World, we have decided it’s time to move on," Sales said. "As the restaurant landscape has changed, so have my passions, family life, career, and what’s important to me. I still love to cook and serve others and plan to continue to do that through my private dining concept, Tallow."

Their plan is to lease their restaurant space or sell it as is to another restaurateur.

"Is this the end of Brix Barbecue? I don’t know, probably," Sales said. "Though I can tell you it won’t be the last time you eat something from me."

This also means that Brix will no longer be serving barbecue at Oak Highlands Brewery, the Dallas craft beer spot where Brix had stationed its food truck in June.

Oak Highlands Brewery founder Ryan Childers said that they will continue with BrIx through August 17.

"We will hopefully announce our new BBQ partner by the end of next week," Childers said.

Sales founded Brix as a small backyard operation in 2017, and went on to grow the concept into an acclaimed BBQ purveyor, recognized on Texas Monthly's top 50 BBQ list with an honorable mention and CultureMap Fort Worth's Tastemaker Awards in 2025.

Named for Brix, Sales' rescued Boxer-terrier mix, Brix Barbecue gained popularity through pop-ups, catering, and a residency at the Americado food hall, before settling into its location in the South Main Village.

Standout items included the tomahawk pork chop, pork belly porchetta, and burnt-end topped pancakes, as well as the usual BBQ classics such as brisket, ribs, sausage, plus a rotating monthly sausage link. The kitchen also released specials such as a breakfast burrito with brisket or Chicago-style Italian beef sandwiches with giardiniera peppers; Sales previously lived in the Chicago area.

They also hosted BBQ classes for those who wanted to do it themselves.

Sales says that, in the next few weeks, they'll bring back specials that were a hit with customers over the years, such as the Funkytown hot chicken sandwich.
