Every month I pick one North Texas barbecue spot worth the trip. This month it’s Meat U Anywhere on Northwest Highway in Grapevine. It’s been smoking meat in Grapevine for more than a decade, and it’s one of my favorites.
The spot and its story
Meat U Anywhere is owned by Andy Sedino. It started as a catering business, smoking barbecue at people’s homes and events. That’s where the name came from. Sedino told Community Impact he used to tell customers, “Tell me what you’d like, and we’ll meet you anywhere,” and then realized, “that’s our name.”
The Grapevine restaurant opened in October 2014. A second location in Trophy Club ran for about nine years before closing in 2026, so Grapevine is now the one and only. Everything is smoked low and slow over oak and hickory.
One thing that sets it apart: the doors open at 6 a.m. every day for breakfast. Breakfast tacos with your coffee, barbecue for lunch, all from the same counter.
What to order
The menu sticks to the Texas classics and does them well:
- Brisket, smoked over oak and hickory
- Ribs: St. Louis-cut pork ribs and beef chuck ribs
- Sausage: German or jalapeño cheddar, on a plate, in a sandwich, or in a tortilla
- Smoked turkey breast, dry-rubbed
- Jalapeño bacon mac ‘n’ cheese
- Notcha Momma’s Slaw, a lighter, vinegar-based slaw
- Breakfast tacos every morning
My take
My order is the Meat “N” Bun sandwich with half sliced brisket and half jalapeño sausage. You get the best of both on one bun. If it’s your first visit, that’s the one I’d point you to.
Living near Grapevine
Grapevine is known for its historic downtown, its wineries, and Grapevine Lake. It sits right next to DFW Airport, with SH-114 and SH-121 running through town, so downtown Dallas or Fort Worth is about 30 minutes away, depending on traffic.
Homes range from historic houses and established neighborhoods to newer builds, townhomes, and condos. You can learn more on my Grapevine community page. Our office is just down the road in Bedford, and my Hurst-Euless-Bedford page covers the neighboring Mid-Cities.
