Schulze’s Pit Room brings delicious barbecue to Seguin
One of Seguin’s newest barbecue spots will tempt you with smoked meats and ooey gooey baked potato salad. It should be on your next stop on a day trip for sweet and spicy barbecue.
In January, Schulze’s Pit Room opened its doors and smoked meat for guests in Seguin. Looks like fans are already enjoying the new place since the lunch timeline was out the door.

A huge covered seating area with a soda and beverage station, a place for all the typical BBQ fixin’s and a nice long bar. Stepping outside through the double doors leads to the spacious covered patio where a giant ceiling fan fights off the elements while you eat some food. There is also live music on the spot.
If you’re trying to get a quick bite, they have a drive thru for you too. Schulze’s Pit Room is open Tuesday through Thursday from 10:30 AM to 8:00 PM, Friday and Saturday from 10:30 AM to 11:00 PM, and Sunday from 10:30 AM to 4:00 PM. The restaurant is closed on Mondays.
What do you eat at Schulze’s Pit Room?
Schulze’s Pit Room offers savory sandwiches served on sweet sourdough buns with a choice of seven different meats: prime brisket, St. Louis Style pork ribs, sausage, jalapeno cheese sausage, barbecue chicken, Southwest chicken, and turkey. Over 10 sides are available to pair with your meat of choice. In addition to classic barbecue, the pit room also serves baked potatoes and brisket nachos.
The staff were so helpful and chatted to every customer while also packing rubbish and to-go boxes.
Of course we tried the barbecue sauce. It was very sweet on the first taste with a huge amount of spicy spice in the back. The barbecue sauce has a large amount of spice without enhancing the smoky flavor of the meat. Honestly, the sauce was not used that much because the pure taste of the meat was good enough.
MySA tried the prime brisket, jalapeno cheese sausage, potato salad, baked potato salad, barbecue chicken and banana pudding. The whole lunch meat cost $35.41. It’s a bit pricey for this guy’s wallet, but totally worth the price of admission.

What does Schulze’s Pit Room meat taste like?
The brisket itself costs $27.95 per pound. The outer crust of the breast was moist and swimming in its natural juices. The fat melted in my mouth and the meat was so full of smoky flavor that adding the BBQ sauce was just a plus. I could cut the brisket with my fork. Hell, I squeezed it and the meat fell apart. Slightly salty, but a scoop of potato salad solved that problem.
Half of the barbecue chicken was unique. I’ve never had barbecue chicken this sweet and light. I didn’t need to put BBQ sauce on the meat because the sweet dry rub and smoke flavor were flawless. I tend to go for the dark meat more than the white meat of the chicken, but the breast was so juicy I couldn’t help myself. Half a barbecue chicken will cost you $6.75, while the whole chicken will cost you $13.50.
Jalapeño cheese sausage had a great snap and crunch when biting into the casing. I’d had some jalapeño cheese sausages before, but this order had some nice bits of cheese stuffed in this meat, which melted like butter. For a quarter pound link jalapeño or regular, it costs $4.75.

What about the sides?
As mentioned earlier, there are more than 10 sides to choose from. They include buttered corn, coleslaw, French fries, fried okra, green beans, mac and cheese, buttered potatoes, pinto beans, potato salad and, hands down the best, the baked potato salad.
I can’t be the only one who loves cheese and a perfectly baked potato. The creamy cheese in each fork was perfection personified. Every time I scooped up another bite, a piece of cheese fell apart. This dish was full of thinly sliced potatoes and must be full of creamy cheese. The little hints of bacon and spice gave the dish a great deal of salt.
The potato salad was fine, I’ve never been a fan of crispy, chunky potatoes and it could have used more salt and pepper. But hey, they had salt and pepper. If I go back, I’d rather try the fried okra or the pinto beans.
For sides, you can get a half pint for $4 or a whole pint for $8.

For dessert?
They have pecan cobbler, chocolate chip cookies, peach crumble on their menu, but when I walked in they just brought out banana pudding. I’m not made of stone, so I’ll get one.
It’s hard to compare to other banana puddings, but this one didn’t have that fake banana flavor like some I’ve tried. What it did have was a big banana flavor in every scoop full. Each bite came with a slice of banana and it wasn’t overly sweet.
All desserts cost less than $6, so a great addition to finish off your meal.
Schulze’s Pit Room is not just another barbecue place that brings the same old barbecue taste, but a unique barbecue experience with a great family-friendly environment that you must taste.
