Backyard Steakout

The Backyard Steakout is a new venue created for the Texas State Fair in 2018. It's comprised of eight moderinzed and customized shipping containers, stacked and arranged to make a sweet little corner venue featuring Texas BBQ and Urban Italian fare, live music and private hospitality containers. This space is a hidden gem that's both in the fair and away from it - a hay bale filled oasis where live music plays daily, picnic tables are free for use and families and friends come to gather to enjoy a delicious state fair bite. 

At the Stakeout, we serve up hot, fresh and local Texas BBQ cuisine including mouthwatering smoked brisket, fall off the bone ribs, and tender juicy steak. Using beef from Texas ranchers, we bring the farm-to-table concept to the State Fair. On the other side of the space, Urban Italian dining features custom woodfired ovens to serve fresh-made pizzas and mouth-watering Italian food. From the goat cheese and lamb meatball platter to the Fredericksburg Peach Gelato, we want locals and vistors to feel both at home and inspired by the cuisine.
