Wingman Brothers Smokehouse to permanently close

After nearly a decade of serving up brisket, beans, and good times, Wingman Brothers Smokehouse will permanently close its doors on Saturday, March 28. The closure is due to rising economic strain according to ownership.
Co-owner Dustin Wing told DailyTrib that the barbeque joint, which opened in 2017 at 2407 N. U.S. 281 in Marble Falls, had become too expensive of an investment to continue operations despite its stellar run.
“We’ve had a great crew and great time,” Wing said. “But, the cost of goods and operating a restaurant keeps rising and we couldn’t justify it anymore.”
Wingman Brothers Smokehouse is part of a trifecta of businesses that the Wing family has owned and operated off U.S. 281 in Marble Falls, including Wingman Oil Change circa 2005, and Wingman Car Wash circa 2014.
Wing told DailyTrib that the latter two businesses would not be affected by the closure of the smokehouse, and that the daily operations and crews would be the same as they always were.
While not all for the same reasons, the Highland Lakes area has seen several well-known restaurants close down since the start of 2026. Wingman Brothers will be the third major Marble Falls business to close this year, joining Bear King Brewing Co. and Doc’s Fish Camp and Grill. In February, longtime legendary Llano bar, Fuzzy’s Corner, also shut down.
