Welcome to The Grillfather at M44 in Bryne – real Texas BBQ, straight from the smoker.

From Jæren farming to Texas BBQ

Roy Søyland has a background in farming on Jæren and nearly 30 years as a self-employed business owner in construction, property and agriculture. Texas BBQ has roots going back several centuries and has been shaped by many food cultures. In the 1800s, smoked beef, especially brisket, became a hallmark. Guests at Franklin Barbecue in Austin have queued for up to six hours to taste brisket.

The Grillfather brings the Texas low-and-slow tradition together with local knowledge, craftsmanship and warm hospitality. All our meat is smoked over oak in our three mobile smokers.
