INTRODUCING SCHOEPF'S BBQ
The taste of Texas!
Staci & Ronnie Schoepf
Nestled just off I-35 on Central Ave in Belton, Schoepf’s BBQ welcomes you with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Schoepf’s BBQ was established in 1993, and purchased in August, 2007 by Ronnie & Staci Schoepf, from Ronnie’s parents.
Since purchasing the restaurant, Ronnie & Staci have completely restructured the business. From a revamped food menu, to a complete remodel of the location.
With the new look and feel, along with serving proprietary meats & prime brisket, they have turned Schoepf’s into a Central Texas must-visit location.
In addition, Schoepf’s BBQ has introduced live music to the Belton area with Schoepf’s Backyard in 2009 and it recently was awarded the Texas Country Music Award for “Live Music Venue of The Year”.
Today, Schoepf’s BBQ is known a Texas Barbecue destination everyone raves about.

I haven’t been here in probably 15 years. My husband, toddler, and I stopped by on a Sunday evening for dinner and was very impressed. We got moist brisket, sausage, and ribs. All of the meat was great, I do think the ribs could have been a little more tender but to be honest I prefer the sides at most bbq places and theirs did not disappoint! Every side we got was fantastic: Mexican street corn, rice, Mac and cheese, and scalloped potatoes, delicious! Our toddler even enjoyed the food. Finally, the customer service was fantastic, which is hard to find nowadays. I don’t know the man’s name working tonight but he was very accommodating; checked on us, pointed out the high chair for me, and even reminded me to grab my purse that I left behind! We will definitely be coming here over Millers for now on for our BBQ fix.Posted on Google![]()

Update: After being “heckled” by a friend (slightly joking), I did decide to return to give this place another shot. The customer service was perfect good was tasty and the atmosphere was pretty quiet had about 15 other people there. I got the 3 ribs at a whooping 18$. I almost got the pork belly but their last piece was huge and was also in the 20$ range but looks very good. My only complaint if you could call it that was the food is so expensive this place is really a “once a year” or special event kinda deal; worth it? Really depends on your pocket book. If you can afford it I would say yes. I really enjoyed the tea and lemonade. While I didn’t get desert (too full) I do remember it being worth a few bucks to get it. I know that everything is massively expensive and while I understand I would encourage the owners to review their prices when things normalize. Also passing your credit charge to the customer is also disappointing and discouraging to eat there, additionally no military discount. Please try to see the positives here the food is fresh and people are friendly. I would consider this upscale dining and to get a little of everything would cost you upwards of 100$ I doubt you’ll be disappointed though. Thank you for the meal and I hope you consider my comments with respect and not be upset. Finally I would recommend.Posted on Google![]()

We ate there and it was absolutely SO delicious. We all ate different things, sausage, turkey, ribs and I had one of the best chopped brisket sandwiches I have ever had.,The bun was like old fashioned Grandma bread. AND the banana pudding.,All homemade. Even the vanilla wafers are home made that are in the pudding. Will be back and tell lots of others about this GEM.Posted on Google![]()
