Our cooking begins with cast iron smokers built in Texas and heated only with green oak and mesquite wood. We smoke our brisket for 18 to 24 hours until it reaches a rich, tender finish. We smoke our pork shoulder with the bone in to keep it moist and full of flavor. All sides—including coleslaw, rice, beans, chili, and other favorites—are made fresh each day using family recipes that have been handed down for years.
Everything we serve reflects our commitment to consistency and tradition dating back to the 1980s.

Abbey’s Real Texas BBQ is a family-run San Diego tradition built on real Texas flavor, warm service, and long-standing community roots. Since 1987, Matt and Athena Shlemon have led the business with a focus on quality, consistency, and personal connection. Their dedication shows in every meal we prepare and every team we serve.
As their children grew up, they each took on roles within the restaurant, supporting operations and helping the business grow. Their involvement has shaped Abbey’s into a strong family enterprise that maintains its original values while expanding across San Diego.
Our story continues to grow, but our foundation remains the same: real Texas BBQ, made with care, served with pride, and delivered with consistent quality.
