Plenty of time to order perfectly smoked BBQ for holiday parties and gifts
AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fifty years ago—in June 1975—The County Line was formed—and is still owned—by Texans who love Texas; love its heritage and historical buildings; love BBQ; and are committed to running a restaurant based on four principles:
- First: offer the highest quality smoked barbecue – ribs, brisket, sausage and chicken – with traditional sides of cole slaw, potato salad and beans.
- Second: provide these BBQ specialties in generous portions at reasonable prices.
- Next: employ college-age students to offer friendly table service with linens and bar service.
- Finally: feature an authentic location that celebrates the heritage of its surroundings community
Just 15 years later—in 1990—The County Line began shipping its perfectly smoked, cut-it-with-a-fork barbeque anywhere in the continental USA via its Air Ribs online delivery service.
