The briskets go on our two 1,000-gallon offsets at 6 p.m. They’re wrapped in butcher paper when the bark sets, around 2 a.m., come off near 8 and rest in the warmer until we open. On the rare night there’s some left at close, it goes into the next day’s chopped sandwiches.

On weekends the line starts around 10. It moves; most people are at the counter in under 25 minutes.

By the pound, plates or the whole tray, picked up at the side window. Pre-orders come off the first briskets of the day, so they don’t sell out on you, home-game Saturdays included.

Ordering system

On Low Water’s live site, this button opens their online ordering (Toast, Square or whichever system the counter runs), showing the day’s real availability and taking payment. This is a concept, so nothing is sold here. Orders over 10 lb: call (979) 555-0158.

  • Get the moist brisket and a jalapeño cheddar link.

    Tyler R. Counter, on a Wednesday
  • We did the office lunch for about 25 people for a training day and honestly I was a little nervous because the last place we used showed up late and the food was lukewarm. These guys were there 20 min early and had everything set up before our people came out of the meeting. Brisket was good, the turkey was really good actually, a couple of people asked where it was from. We’ll be calling them for the holiday lunch

  • Brisket was as good as everyone says and the ribs had a nice bark. We waited about 40 minutes on a home-game Saturday, and the lot was full by the time we got there, so we parked on the side street and walked.
