Reveille Barbecue Co. is a newcomer to the barbecue scene in Texas. Currently

operating out of a trailer in Magnolia (a suburb north of Houston), Reveille was started

by co-owners/pitmasters James McFarland and Michael Michna.

James began chasing his BBQ dreams a few years ago and quickly built a resumé working at

The Pit Room and Tejas Chocolate and Barbecue. Michael had a passion for cooking barbecue

dating back to his days in the armed services and continuing into his career as a

firefighter. The two met and became friends years ago and began making barbecue for

cookoffs and special events.

After several years of dreaming about opening a business, the dream began to become a

reality in 2017. With a lot of hard work, planning, encouragement from friends and

family, and the purchase of a custom built reverse flow smoker built by Arnis Robbins of

the acclaimed Evie Mae's Pit Barbeque, Reveille became a reality.

Reveille opened in May of 2018 serving strong representations of many of the smoked meat

staples along with non-standard sides such as blistered shishito peppers and a version of

Mexican street corn with a Texas spin. Currently open Saturday and Sunday starting at 11

am with plans for expanded hours in the coming months, the future is bright for Reveille

Barbecue Co.
