This is a breed with fat inside the muscle and a unique fatty acid composition, considered an addition to the health benefits of the meat. It is served Friday, Saturday, and Sunday or with 24-hour advance notice. Old 300 also has a private hall and a mobile trailer bringing the good around the Texas Hill Country.

Try the Keto Special option Monday through Thursday, the Akaushi beef smoked burgers on Tuesdays, or truly satisfy your hunger and order the Jim Raby quesadilla: a spinach wrap laden with diced chicken and pork, pico de gallo, cheese, chopped BBQ, and a quarter pound of juicy Angus brisket. This appetite-pleaser is grilled and served with a side of BBQ ranch dressing. Burn some calories by dancing to the live music onsite three days a week, then go back for the smoked cheesecake with berry compote.
