Craving barbecue? You're in luck: a new business has opened its doors in the neighborhood. The newcomer to Five Points, called Burnwood ‘68, is located at 1012 N. Flores St.
All the food is cooked on a smoker built in 1968 and the restaurant is family-owned and staffed. The meat, which includes brisket, sausage, ribs, pulled pork and chicken, can be purchased by the pound, in a sandwich or as a specialty item like a brisket taco or brisket nachos, along with a wide selection of sides such as Spanish rice or pinto beans.

Burnwood ‘68 has gotten an enthusiastic response thus far, with a four-star rating out of six reviews on Yelp.

And Yelper Monica G., wrote, "If you like good barbecue, then you'll love Burnwood '68. My family and I got to experience a feast. Everything was cooked well and flavor was off the charts. You know some places can really dry out their meat, well, not here."
