Hard Eight BBQ — Stephenville
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
Hard Eight BBQ brings pit-smoked Texas barbecue to Stephenville, cooked over mesquite coals the way the state has always preferred it.
This outpost on Glen Rose Road runs the same mesquite-fuelled pits that define Hard Eight across Texas — meat smoked over coals in cattle country, where the local standard for barbecue runs high. Open daily from half-ten through the evening, later on Fridays and Saturdays. The smoke starts early; the line forms accordingly.
