Together with his wife, June, brother, Orville and his son, Skeet, patriarch Angelo George opened his business in 1958, with only a walk-up counter and four dining tables. Fast forward to 2024, and that beer joint that cooked up some amazing smoked meats celebrated its 66th Anniversary, has become one of Fort Worth's most recognized restaurants, and is World-famous for its BBQ meats, ice-cold beer, and seasoning products. One of the main reasons for its success is because it has always remained about family. In 1997, when Angelo, 71, passed away, his son, Skeet continued the tradition and built the business into a gathering place serving thousands of patrons.

"Dad's hard work and determination put this place on the map. He wanted to leave a viable business for his family, but what he actually left is a legacy for us – and for Fort Worth. It's a big honor to be considered among the country's best barbeque, he said. "It's an even bigger honor to see so many loyal customers coming in day after day."

Skeet George went on to create a restaurant that stands out from other Fort Worth eateries, with its rustic wood exterior, hunting lodge interior, and trophies of deer, caribou, elk, exotic mounted fish, and even a buffalo garnered from the George family hunting & fishing trips, it's remains about family. Even a 7-foot black bear greets hungry visitors at the door, as the smell of hickory wood-smoked meats fills the dining rooms.

Sadly, Skeet George, 67, passed away Dec. 2017.  He leaves Angelo’s legacy with his only son, Jason.

Today, Jason George carries the mantle of that family tradition as Pitmaster in charge. He's become The Expert at his grandfather’s recipes and techniques his father taught him. In the past 60 years, Angelo’s expanded its business to include a full line of dry rub and BBQ sauce products.

"The rubs are a unique combination of herbs and spices that give our meats that one-of-a-kind flavor," Jason said. "And we wanted to make our dry rub tradition available to anyone."

They are sold at their restaurant, Albertsons, Minyard, Kroger, Brookshire's, and Sack 'N Save, as well as others, and online on their website.

A Texas Monthly review said it best, "Barbeque joints may come and go, but this one is here to stay. Angelo's, which has been around since 1958, has become the yardstick against which all newcomers are measured."
