Bashful Bandit Barbecue
Bashful Bandit Barbecue is a Central Texas-style smoked meat restaurant in midtown Tucson, using 1,000-gallon offset smokers to slow-smoke brisket, green chile pulled pork, Chile-Relleno Sausage, and half chickens basted in house-made Mole BBQ Sauce. Opened in 2023 at a storied former biker bar on Speedway Blvd, the shop fuses Texas smoking traditions with Arizona ingredients like Hatch green chiles and local mesquite wood.
