Big Horn Barbecue and Burgers

What Big Horn Barbecue and Burgers does

Big Horn Barbecue and Burgers is a privately held Texas restaurant chain operating three casual-dining locations in the Texas Gulf Coast region: Manvel (20211 Highway 6), Pearland (2300 Smith Ranch Rd.), and Santa Fe (12611 FM 1764 Rd., open Mon-Sun 6 am–9 pm). The company's core offering is Texas-style barbecue and burgers served across dine-in, drive-through, and online-ordering channels, supplemented by catering services for private events, corporate functions, and full holiday meal packages (turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, pies, and sides). Online ordering is operated through the third-party Toast Tab platform, and the brand maintains a local community presence via Instagram (@bighornbbq), Facebook (BigHornBBQTx), and a community sponsorship program accepting local event/organization applications.

The business generates revenue from two primary streams: (1) restaurant food sales across dine-in, drive-thru, and online channels at its three Texas locations, and (2) catering services for private events, corporate functions, and holiday meal packages. Pricing follows a standard QSR casual-dining model with pay-as-you-go billing; a documented discount stack offers 10% off for seniors (65+), 25% off for military/veterans with valid ID, and 25% off for on-duty uniformed police officers, capped at $6.00 per individual meal and explicitly excluded from catering, group, and Party Pack orders. Customer segments are split horizontally between individual diners seeking casual/family meals (primary) and catering/event customers seeking convenient group meal solutions (secondary). Marketing is community-focused, relying on organic social media, the company's website (bighorn-bbq.com) as the primary information and ordering hub, and local sponsorship engagement.

Big Horn is an independently operated, privately held entity with no disclosed parent company, no public listing, no funding history, and no management team disclosed in source materials. No technology, AI/ML capabilities, patents, certifications, awards, partnerships, M&A activity, or company history (including founding date) are referenced.
