"Satisfying both the needs of Pflugerville residents and Austinites on their way to Ikea is Brotherton’s Black Iron Barbecue, a strip-mall barbecue joint that’s way bigger than its unassuming exterior would lead you to believe. It’s a bit minimalist inside, without a lot of the almost-kitschy character of old-school spots, which just means they’re focused on good meat. The brisket and sausage here are worth a short detour (wherever you’re headed), but the sandwiches justify a trip of their own. Grab the reuben that’s made with house-smoked pastrami, the Texas bánh mì to try Brotherton’s smoky (and brisket-filled) take on a classic, or get the loaded grilled cheese and see just how well smoked meats and cheese pair together." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"When Kelly Gerry opened Black Iron Eats in Pflugerville in 2016, Brotherton made meats for the business, and in 2017 the two operations were merged into the single entity that became Brotherton’s Black Iron Barbecue." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The Pflugerville barbecue restaurant is coping with its owner, John Brotherton, being hospitalized in a medically induced coma after a medical event in early January; a GoFundMe has been created to help cover his medical bills. The restaurant itself remains open for service, and an event was planned for Saturday, January 13 (11 a.m. to 4 p.m.) to encourage patrons to support the business. Fellow pitmaster Russell Roegels launched a campaign to assist Brotherton and his family." - Nadia Chaudhury
