This place is amazing, I just moved down the street from this little food truck corner and everyone was crowding around this one place and for good reason. The brisket melts in your mouth. The pulled pork also melts in your mouth. I got Mac n cheese and a lady behind me in line told me I had to try their garlic potatoes and I can see why both of the sides were out of this planet. Honestly the price was a little high but for all the food you get I think it’s definitely worth every penny.

First time visit to Habibi BBQ. Will definitely come back. It’s a food truck (only open Friday night and on Saturday) that is co-located with about 6 other food trucks – will have to try them out too.
Tender and tasty brisket – nice hint of Lebanese flavors in the brisket.
The pork belly burnt ends were some of the best that I have ever had. And I love pork belly burnt ends. Perfect combo of mean/fat and the flavor jumps out at you.
Sides were hummus (quite good) and coleslaw (could have used a little more zest for me).
Great service from the 19 year old proprietor.
Will have to come back for the Friday evening chicken quarters now!

I was just out for a sandwich. Next thing I know, I’m elbow-deep in brisket, swapping BBQ philosophy with the most famous meat man in Texas, and breaking bread with a rising pitmaster under a red umbrella like some kind of smoked-meat summit meeting.
TL;DR:
Planned to grab a quick sandwich. Ended up eating more than half the menu with Daniel Vaughn while chatting with the talented Marc Fadel. Smoked meats? Incredible. Lebanese twist? Genius. Hospitality? Unmatched. This was a five-star meat miracle.
It was just past 11 on Saturday, and I had a simple plan: swing by Habibi Barbecue for a sandwich and skedaddle. But as I pull up to the Ghost Food Park, I spot none other than the BBQ Snob himself, Daniel Vaughn, admiring the big steel offset like it was the Mona Lisa of smokers.
We chatted. I fanboyed. He offered to share a meal. I said yes faster than a fat cap melts under a low flame.
Out come the trays. Not a tray. Trays. Plural. Overflowing with bark, juice, and joy.
The brisket was textbook: tender, smoke-ringed, and confident. The burnt ends were candy with a bark, kissed by just the right amount of sauce. The pork ribs held their shape but surrendered with a gentle tug, seasoned like they’d been given a TED Talk on flavor. The dino beef rib was a whole paleo protein event: massive, primal, and mind-blowing.
Tucked underneath the pile, pita bread soaked up all the meaty runoff. I made a little Habibi taco with pickles and sauce that nearly brought a tear to my eye.
Then came the burger. Looked like a classic smash: double meat, double cheese, pickles, mustard. But that Lebanese purple coleslaw? That’s the twist. Tangy, crunchy, and the perfect cool contrast to the rich beef. Fries were crinkle-cut, crispy, and praise be unburdened by a salt mine.
Now my wife, The Side Dish Sage, wasn’t with me this time, but she would’ve elbowed me out of the way for a second helping of the tabbouleh salad: bright, herby, and packed with cucumber crunch. The garlic potatoes had the crisp-on-the-outside, creamy-on-the-inside thing locked down.
Finally, the Lebanese BBQ bowl: rice, lettuce, pickles, pickled turnips, hummus, pita chips, tzatziki, and a healthy heap of brisket. It’s a flavor bomb. A Texa-bibi mezze miracle.
Marc Fadel, this man is the real deal. His family is putting out food with soul, smoke, and story. And they’re only open Friday night and Saturday. That’s confidence. That’s swagger. That’s knowing you’re serving something worth showing up for.
Habibi Barbecue wasn’t just a quick lunch. What I got was better: hospitality, conversation, and a top-tier meal with legends on both sides of the table. This is what barbecue is about: community, culture, and craft.
I came for one sandwich. I left with a full belly, a full heart, and a new respect for what happens when Texas smoke meets Lebanese spice. That, my friends, is what you call a pita party.

Got their 2 meats combo but unfortunately they were out of most of the stuff I wanted to try. Got their ribs but were a little dry for my liking.
The owner was super nice and explained everything. Offered to give me a refund since they were out of most of the stuff.

Really good! The meats are well cooked and seasoned, the sides are tasty with a very nice variety. The flavors here are really good and everything works well together. Highly recommend!

Habibi Barbecue is located in a red trailer on W. Arkansas Ln. about a block west of S. Bowen Road. They serve BBQ with a Mediterranean twist. Service is fast and friendly. The standout is the tenderness of the brisket which falls apart with a fork. They toast the buns for their sandwiches which are sizable. The sides are tasty and unique. The only thing I would improve is the BBQ sauce which tastes like it’s from a bottle. If they can create an awesome sauce or two, then I’ll raise their rating to 5 stars. They are almost there. Perhaps an improved traditional BBQ sauce, and a killer tzatziki sauce?

Tex-Lebanese is the fusion cuisine I didn’t know I needed! Randomly stumbled on this restaurant while looking for ribs in the area.
The food truck is surrounded by other food trucks, think of a food hall but with food trucks. There’s outdoor seating, plenty of parking and corn hole. Sometimes there are small businesses selling items.
The customer service was very great! They provided great suggestions and hospitable service. I tried the ribs, brisket, mac n cheese and Lebanese rice. The flavors on the meat were well balanced. The meat was charred to perfection. It was so tender that the fork glided through the meat. The Mac n cheese was creamy. First time trying Lebanese rice, and it was tasty. Note that it does contain nuts if you have allergies. Th price was fair for the quality and portions.
Looking forward to returning!

After few weeks of planing, I finally convinced my husband to have BBQ for lunch . Believe me this place is worth all the hype on socials. The brisket was amazing, ribs too. I loved the sides. Customer service is amazing! I will definitely come back (when it’s less hot though ).

Habibi Barbecue is the best kept secret of food trucks. The beef ribs are incredible and the Lebanese bowl is just as good. You need to get there early because they sell out and once you try it you will understand why.
We sat outside at the picnic tables and had a great time eating and visiting with family. Meeting the folks who run it made the whole experience even better. This place is the real deal and worth the trip.
