Fett Svin BBQ/Grill

Award-winning beef brisket

Fett Svin returns to Abilene Bar & Lounge May 10 for its regular Friday engagement with a special menu.  Local BBQ reviews note an absence of brisket on area menus and the establishments that do serve it regularly rarely see it noted as a high point of their offerings.  Meanwhile, legends and myths emanate from Texas Q joints of tender, smokey brisket so delicious that restaurants in the Lonestar state commonly see long lines of customers waiting to buy out the hard-to-handle cut of beef.

Why the disparity between the south, which worships brisket in the BBQ canon, and the north where it is utilized mainly as a deli cut for sandwiches?  Simple: in Texas, where BBQ is a way of life, fresh brisket is smoked and served each day to meet the demand.  Sadly, northern Q often is marked by an ebb and flow of customers and it is common in these establishments for today’s menu to feature BBQ smoked yesterday or earlier in the week and then reheated to serve orders.  Pork cuts tend to hold up better and lend themselves to par-cooking or pre-cooking however brisket, with its tougher flat section and uneven internal marbling, is best sliced and served after a brief rest off the cooker.  In the end it is difficult for most restaurants focused on turning tables and closing out as many checks as possible, even if the product suffers, to serve top quality brisket at a profitable margin.

Luckily, at Fett Svin we don’t have servers to tip out, utility bills or a big building to pay rent on; which means that Friday, March 29 Fett Svin will be crafting a batch of locally sourced Angus brisket to serve to eager BBQ hounds and beef tallow enthusiasts.

Service starts at 4:00pm (note the new start time) and will run until food is gone.  Reservations for brisket (it is going fast) are being taken at FettSvinBBQ@gmail.com.  To reserve email the aforementioned address with your name, time of arrival and amount of brisket desired in 1/2 lbs. increments.  Reservations are the best way to guarantee enough of the beefy deliciousness upon your arrival.  If you don’t agree that the brisket we serve up that night is the best in the ROC you will receive a coupon for a free meal.   Yes, we have that much faith in the product.

In addition to the brisket experience Abilene will be featuring drink specials and live tunes from The David Mayfield Parade as well as The Tarbox Ramblers.
