Central Texas barbecue comes with a piece of Austin movie history at Stiles Switch. Its North Lamar restaurant occupies the space remembered as the Emporium pool hall in Dazed and Confused.

The Dazed and Confused connection

The original restaurant opened in December 2011 in the Violet Crown shopping center. Its own history identifies the space as the Emporium pool hall used in Dazed and Confused. The Stiles Switch name also reaches back to a Texas railroad stop and owner Shane Stiles.

A Texas smokehouse with rotating specials

Pitmaster Lance Kirkpatrick leads a kitchen centered on Central Texas craft barbecue. Start with a brisket-and-ribs meal, then look at the current specials board for the kitchen’s changing cuts and sandwiches. A special seen in an old social post is not an everyday menu promise.
