Traylor Parker's Real Texas BBQ opens tomorrow in Calgary

Traylor Parker’s, a restaurant serving authentic Texas BBQ, is opening tomorrow in Calgary.

This exciting BBQ joint opens tomorrow (June 23 at 3 pm) in a very exciting location: the Big Rock Brewery… just in time for the Calgary Stampede.

This is the spot’s second location and a first for Western Canada.

“Traylor Parker’s started in a sixteen-foot food trailer on our friend’s lawn in Rondeau, Ontario in 2020 before opening a restaurant in Charing Cross, Ontario in 2021,” said “Tex” Parker, Traylor Parker’s owner, in a media release.

“We know that Albertans love their BBQ, and we are so excited to be bringing our award-winning authentic Texas BBQ to Calgary, with award-winning Big Rock beer close at hand.”

This means that brisket, ribs, sides, and more will all be in the same place as the beer from one of the city’s most popular breweries. There are plenty of amazing BBQ spots in Calgary and we can’t wait to see what this one is all about.

“We wanted to create a vibrant restaurant scene at our brewery, because good food, good beer and a strong community is so important to our business,” Brad Goddard of Big Rock Brewery said in a release.

“We welcome Traylor Parker’s as Calgary’s newest BBQ dining option, along with expanded hours of operation to better serve the community.”

To create an authentic Texas taste, the BBQ team here uses four 1,000-gallon offset smokers to cook all of the meat.

The food menu will feature some seriously mouth-watering Texas staples like brisket, ribs, turkey, and pulled pork, plus tasty sides like coleslaw, potato salad, beans, mac and cheese, and more.

There are also some unique items, like the Big Tex Burger, the Taxes Tacos, or the Fully Loaded Nachos.

“We serve authentic Texas BBQ, which means we will sell out of items, everything is slow smoked, so when we are out of an item, it means we are out until the next day,” said Parker.

What’s better than some BBQ and beer to get you in the mood for the Calgary Stampede?

Once it’s up and running, the hours for this spot will be Wednesday through Saturday from 11:30 am until 8 pm and Sunday from 11:30 am until 6 pm.
