Why Hank's Texas BBQ why was this picked
We prefer the Delaware US-42 location when locals say go to the new room near Powell: salt-and-pepper brisket, smoked pastrami, and sides that feel like more than obligatory beans. The room is larger and cleaner than a classic pit shack, which helps for groups. It suits north-of-270 nights when you want Texas-style beef without downtown parking.
- US-42 room near Powell locals prefer
- Central Texas brisket with serious bark
- Sides that outrun the usual checklist
Know before you go
We prefer Hank's Texas BBQ on US-42 in Delaware when locals point to the newer room near Powell. Salt-and-pepper brisket, smoked pastrami, and sides that feel like more than obligatory beans define the plate for a destination BBQ night. Dinner for two with drinks usually lands in the $$$ range, so treat it as a planned drive rather than a quick errand stop.
