The World’s Largest Free Barbecue — and Yes, You’re Invited.
We’re talking pits the size of trailers, an army of volunteers, and the kind of smoky, savory aroma that pulls you in from blocks away. It’s a celebration of community, cowboy culture, and good food — and it’s 100% on the house.
The best part? You don’t need a ticket, a reservation, or a fancy invite — just show up with an appetite and a love for great food. The XIT BBQ feeds thousands every year, from longtime locals to out-of-town visitors, and everyone leaves full and smiling.
