Our Story

Stampede Barbecue began in 2012 and spent its first years as a seasonal roadside stand on Route 23. Today it is a restaurant, a wood-fired brewery and a food truck.

How it started

The Stampede Story

Stampede Barbecue started with a simple desire: to share excellent food, specifically great Texas Barbecue, in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Motivated by our passion for cooking and our travels across the South and Midwest, we seized an opportunity by purchasing a small barbecue and catering business in 2012.

After approximately one year of refining our craft, selling at various venues, and looking for a place to call home, we found a quaint stone lot on Route 23 for our smoker and trailers. From 2013 to 2017, we operated as a seasonal roadside barbecue stand, offering picturesque views of Lancaster County, PA.

Where We Are Headed

In 2022 we opened Detwiler Brewing inside the restaurant. It is the only wood-fired brewery in PA, where we craft our own fine ales and wild-fermented cider.

Our goal is simple: to give our communities the best barbecue experience in the region. The careful selection and preparation of premium meats, robust seasonings, and homemade sides and sauces is our dedication made tangible.
