The GreaT CoasTal Texas BarBeCue Trail VICTORIA, TEXAS looking to get away this summer? Take a road trip to Victoria, Tx and experience The Great Coastal Texas Barbecue Trail! it features some of the best barbecue in the state and was named one of the “10 Great american Food Trail road Trips” by From- mer’s Travel Guide. if you like barbecue, this trail is definitely worth the drive. THE TRAIL The Coastal Texas Barbecue Trail is comprised of eight locally-owned barbecue joints. From sit down restaurants to food trucks, you’ll find the barbecue as varied as the pit masters who create it. Whether it’s the meat, the sides, or homemade desserts, these folks put their heart and soul into making your experience unforgettable. one of the most popular food trucks with locals is KB’s BBQ. owned and operated by father and son team Kevin and Cullen Broll, the guys at KB’s cook their brisket with a special spice and mesquite wood for more than 20 hours in an offset smoker. You’ll get a deep smoke flavor in your meats here. in addition to the basics, you’ll find a variety of daily specials. a few of my favorites are the loaded smoked chicken avocado, smoked meatloaf, brisket enchiladas, and brisket-topped mesquite smoked burgers!
