XIT BBQ
When you think XIT, you think barbecue — and for good reason. The XIT BBQ is more than just a meal; it’s a full-blown Texas tradition, served hot, fresh, and free to thousands of hungry folks who gather in Dalhart every year for one of the most iconic events in the Lone Star State.

The World’s Largest Free Barbecue — and Yes, You’re Invited.
We’re talking pits the size of trailers, a volunteer crew of seasoned grillmasters, and the kind of smoky, savory aroma that pulls you in from blocks away. It’s a celebration of community, cowboy culture, and good food — and it’s 100% on the house.
And the best part? You don’t need a ticket, a reservation, or a fancy invite — just show up with an appetite and a love for great food. The XIT BBQ feeds thousands every year, from longtime locals to out-of-town visitors, and everyone leaves full and smiling.
