What’s special about it? Roegels said he tries to keep the menu interest- ing while utilizing quality ingredients with items such as smoked turkey katsu sandwiches; bologna, mortadella and sausages made in-house; brisket mac and cheese; and Frito pies. Respecting the craft Roegels is truly a family business, he said. His wife runs the operations, his son makes sausages at the location in Greater Uptown and his daughter works at the Katy restaurant. “You’re going to work long hours. You’re going to want to beat your head against the wall some- times, but it’s rewarding though,” he said.
Roegels established his second restaurant in Katy to be closer to home and the “small town feel” the city provides, he said. “We get a lot of business people during the day, but we also get families at night, which is great because I grew up in barbecue, and it’s good to see people bring their families out to barbecue,” he said.
