Panther City BBQ

Panther City BBQ is a Catering business in Fort Worth, TX, located at 201 E Hattie St. The establishment provides authentic Texas barbecue catering for groups ranging from 25 to 2,500 people, handling events such as company functions and fundraisers. Founded in 2014 by partners Magallanes and Ernest Morales, the business began as a food truck before establishing a permanent location at the site formerly occupied by Heim BBQ. The kitchen operates from Wednesday through Sunday, serving lunch and dinner from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm, with a full-service bar open until 2:00 am. The menu features meats smoked on-site over 100 percent Post Oak wood, including pork, brisket, chicken, ribs, and sausage. Signature items include pork belly jalapeno poppers and brisket elote. The business holds a rating of 4.50 based on customer reviews.

The partners bring experience from the competition circuit and prior vendor work to their permanent operation. The menu reflects local barbecue traditions, with a version of pork belly burnt ends that honors the previous tenant, Heim BBQ, while adding a distinct twist through the use of pork belly poppers. These poppers consist of a cream cheese and burnt end filling wrapped in bacon and smoked. The kitchen also serves prime smoked brisket, spare ribs, pulled pork, and smoked bologna sandwiches. Side dishes include red-skinned potato salad, creamed corn, macaroni and cheese, and banana pudding. Sausage links are currently sourced from Syracuse Sausage in Ponder, though the owners plan to produce their own varieties. The business aims to accommodate specific customer requests and pride itself on community interaction.
