Seguin’s Burnt Bean Co., the Texas Monthly-topped smokehouse known for multi-hour lines that snake around the block, is taking its pits national. The small-town spot is now shipping its barbecue across the country through Goldbelly, so fans who once lined up at dawn for brisket, ribs and barbacoa can get heat-and-eat packages delivered to their doorstep. The move puts pitmaster Ernest Servantes’ six-year-old smokehouse on a growing list of Texas barbecue joints whose meats travel by mail.
As reported by MySA, Burnt Bean announced on May 27 that it had partnered with Goldbelly to ship nationwide. In a Facebook post shared with the announcement, the restaurant called the move “a huge moment for our team” and said it was “ready to feed this country” with Burnt Bean barbecue. The outlet also notes that on busy days, waits can stretch for several hours if you are not in line early.
What You Can Order, And How It Arrives
Goldbelly lists an Unsliced Prime Texas Brisket for $229.95 and a Burnt Bean “Texas Trinity” Sampler for $319.95. Both are sold as heat-and-eat packages that ship frozen with reheating instructions. The marketplace also offers a three-pound rack of signature pork ribs for $99.95, along with sides like Cowboy Beans or Bacon Ranch Taters for about $49.95. Orders arrive packed with ice packs and step-by-step reheating directions so customers can warm and slice the meats at home.
Lines, Rankings And Regional Demand
Burnt Bean was crowned the state’s top barbecue joint in Texas Monthly’s 2025 Top-50 list, a recognition KSAT reports has turned the Seguin shop into a regional destination. According to KSAT, Servantes and his crew fire up the pits before sunrise, and lines can form as early as 5 a.m. from people trying to secure the most popular plates. For anyone not up for the early-morning pilgrimage, the Goldbelly partnership offers a way to skip the wait and still sample what made Burnt Bean famous.
Seguin's Moment
Seguin officials have embraced the buzz. The city council formally recognized Burnt Bean after the Texas Monthly ranking and credited the restaurant with energizing downtown commerce in public meeting minutes. On its own website, the restaurant describes the Goldbelly collaboration as a way to “send the Burnt Bean award-winning barbecue experience straight to your doorstep.” Local leaders say that kind of national exposure could draw even more visitors downtown while the restaurant tests just how far demand for Seguin barbecue can reach.
