Authentic Texas Barbecue Excellence

Over 79 years of slow-smoked perfection serving the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Our mouth-watering brisket has become a Fort Worth legend.

Our Story

A Legacy of Flavor Since 1946

Founded in 1946 by Master Pitmaster Earl Coburn, Coburn’s Catering began as a small smokehouse in Fort Worth with a simple mission: to serve the finest Texas barbecue with genuine hospitality.

Three generations later, we continue Earl’s tradition of slow-smoking our signature brisket for 14 hours over real Texas wood, creating the tender, flavorful barbecue that has made us a Fort Worth institution.

Joe D.
“I went to an event today at my grandkids Christian school. It was the last day of school before thanksgiving break and we were having lunch with the kids. The caterers was Colburn catering from Fort Worth. I’m 69 years old and I managed restaurants for 32 years. I’ve eaten lots of catered turkey and dressing in my life but I’ve never had any that came close to what I had today. These guys know what they’re doing.
