Snow's BBQ, BBQ restaurant in Lexington, Texas.
Snow's BBQ is a barbecue restaurant in Lexington, Texas, serving slow-cooked meats in the Texas style including beef brisket, pork ribs, pork shoulder steak, turkey breast, chicken, and house-made sausage alongside traditional sides. The location sits on Main Street and also ships its smoked meats nationwide to customers who order by the pound.
The restaurant opened in 2003 when Kerry Bexley partnered with pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz to launch the operation, and it quickly gained national fame when Texas Monthly named it the state's best barbecue in 2008. This recognition transformed it from a local Saturday spot into a destination that drew barbecue lovers from across the country.
The restaurant keeps alive Texas barbecue traditions by opening only on Saturdays from 8 AM until the meat runs out, a schedule that ties directly to the local livestock auctions happening the same day. This rhythm reflects how food and community life have always moved together in this rural area.
The restaurant operates with very limited hours on Saturdays only, so arriving early in the morning when doors open gives you the best selection before popular items sell out. Plan to visit in late morning or early afternoon to improve your chances of finding your preferred meats still available.
The name comes from a childhood nickname given to owner Kerry Bexley before he was even born by someone in his family circle, who called him Snowman. This unusual origin shows how deeply personal roots shaped the identity of this now-famous establishment.
