Historical Landmark

Martin’s opened as a rest stop between Bryan and Texas A&M back when that counted as a journey, and it’s been an Aggie haunt ever since. Claim a stool on the horseshoe counter, order off a board that’s barely changed, and read the state historical marker on your way out — it’s one of the oldest continuously running barbecue joints in Texas.

How to do Martin’s

Go for lunch, Tuesday through Friday
Martin’s keeps semi-retired hours — it’s a weekday-lunch spot, closed weekends and Mondays. Chicken is Fridays only, and ribs are served when available, so call ahead if you have your heart set on either.
Order a plate, or buy meat by the pound
Plates come with two sides; sandwiches are chopped or sliced on a bun. To take it home, buy by the quarter, half, or full pound — with the fixings (“Just BBQ”) or sauce-only to go. Use the price finder above to see the exact cost.
Get the brisket — and the potatoes
The chopped brisket and the German (house) potatoes are the regulars’ picks, and the Aggie sandwich is the signature. It’s consistently called the most reasonably priced barbecue in town.
