Located in beautiful San Francisco, California, we bring traditional Texas BBQ eats that taste like home.
We began our journey as a little, bitty pop-up in the City, to slanging our meats at our favorite breweries and our local farmers’ markets. In August 2024, we finally found and moved into our new, permanent home in the Sunset district!

Traditional Texas BBQ originated when African Americans and Mexicans already in Texas mingled with new Czech and German immigrants cooking with open fires. Soon, the low smoke method of cooking meats was born. The first documented barbeque joint opened in Bastrop, TX in 1878!
Texas BBQ is simple at heart.
Minimal seasoning that lets the flavors of high-quality meat shine through.
Smoke it low and smoke it slow.
Little or no sauce.
BBQ brings people together.
D was born and raised in Houston, Texas. A lifelong Texan - BBQ simply, is in his blood. When he moved to San Francisco, he just wanted a BBQ beef sandwich.
But nothing he found tasted like home.
Houston and San Francisco aren’t usually compared together, but both cities are diverse melting pots of many cultures. We take inspiration from D’s Texan-Mexican and Mrs. D’s Asian heritage to come up with familiar favorites we loved eating as kids, but infuse them with Texas BBQ as the heart.
Smokin D’s is a taste of OUR home.
