Stiles Switch BBQ to Replace Z’Tejas in Kyle
Stiles Switch BBQ, an Austin-based barbecue restaurant known for its Texas-style smoked meats, is preparing to open a new location in Kyle at 18920 S I-35 Frontage Rd. The restaurant has signed a lease for the former Z’Tejas space, which closed in June 2025, according to the Austin Business Journal. Landlord and former Z’Tejas owner Randy Cohen confirmed the agreement, and Stiles Switch can take over the property in January 2027. Renovations are estimated to cost approximately $500,000, with work scheduled to begin next month and completion targeted for mid-February 2027, according to a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing. An opening date has not yet been announced.
