Hays Co. Bar-B-Que and Catering Is Coming to Kyle

According to MySA , recently shuttered Hays Co. Bar-B-Que and Catering plans to reopen — this time in Kyle.

“It’s an honor and my family and I are all excited about making the move,” owner Michael Hernandez said on July 16 in a city council meeting — “We don’t want to just serve the community, we want to be the community.”

Coming to 505 S. Old Highway 81 , taking over a 2,000-square-foot space formerly home to a tire shop, the eatery will land near establishments such as Garcia’s Mexican, Piscis Seafood & Mexican Grill, and Sonic Drive-In and will feature a “large play area for kids, an outdoor stage for live music, and an outdoor walk-up bar.”

“Before the company opens there are about $300,000 in utility upgrades that will include an 8″ waterline and fire hydrant improvement, onsite improvements, electrical service, and underground telecom lines,” MySA reports.

“I believe this project will be a catalyst to the westside downtown redevelopment,” said Kyle Director of Economic Development Victoria Vargas at the meeting.

Once open, Hays Co. Bar-B-Que will offer Kyle residents smoked meats including brisket, turkey, sausage, and ribs, as well as sides such as mac and cheese, pinto beans, and jalapeno cream corn.

An opening date has not been announced yet, so follow Hays Co. Bar-B-Que and Catering on Facebook for updates.
