Our Story

Real Mesquite Wood.
Time-Honored Recipes.

For over four decades, Colter's has been the standard for Texas pit barbecue in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We're a family operation, and every rack of ribs and every brisket still goes into the pit the same way it always has — slowly, over real mesquite wood, until it's done right.

No shortcuts. No compromises. Just the same recipes that have kept families coming back since the early '80s.
