The Old Fashioned BBQ and Grill is Open

I shared with you the history of the Muleshoe meat locker and the changes it has gone through-“What do Vance Wagnon, Larry Winkler, J.C. Pearson, and Kevin Lujan have in Common?,” January 14, 2025. Another change came about Saturday, May 31, when Kevin Lujan and Rancher Stofberg opened the Old Fashioned BBQ and Grill along with the Old Fashioned Butchery and Market at 401 S. Main in Muleshoe.

I stopped by Saturday morning right before they were opening and took a few pictures. I can’t begin to list all the products and items available; you need to check it out yourself. But here’s a look at some of the things you will find inside.

Kevin’s meat processing plant is still up and running, doing custom processing for individuals who bring in their livestock. But he has added an extensive butcher shop section to offer retail meats at competitive prices.

Then there is also the new restaurant side. Today the menu focused on barbecue. I went back at noon for a pulled pork sandwich. Seating is inside and outside under a new open area.

I suspect it is typical to have opening day glitches till everything gets smoothed out. And there were a few, but the food was good, the selection of items in the market gave much to choose from, so it is worth a trip to eat, shop, or do both. Special events are planned for upcoming weekends, so watch for those.

I’ll be back.
