The Don's Barbecue Is Opening in Watertown

A catering business that focuses on Texas-style barbecue is getting ready to open its very own restaurant.

According to a post within the jobs section of bostonchefs.com, The Don's Barbecue is planning to open in Watertown, with the School Street address indicating that it will be opening in the space that had been home to Strip-T's, and after that, Avenue Deli. Based on the website for the business, it appears that some of the offerings at the upcoming dining spot could include pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, smoked sausage, ribs, brisket, BBQ chicken, burnt ends, cornbread, collard greens, and more.

Strip-T's was a nationally-recognized restaurant that closed down in 2018, with Avenue Deli subsequently taking over the space.

The address for The Don's Barbecue is 93 School Street, Watertown, MA, 02472. The website for the business can be found at https://www.thedonscatering.com/

[October 29 update: According to its Instagram page, The Don's Barbecue opened today, though they had to close early because they "sold out of everything."]
