The official website
This site is an independent guide, not the business. Bud’s House of Meat has its own website at budshouseofmeat.com. It is a one-page site with the address, the phone number and buttons to the ordering pages. Orders are placed through those ordering pages (Clover, Uber Eats and DoorDash), not through this guide, which takes no orders or payments.
The short version
What you will find at Bud’s House of Meat
Texas Monthly describes a meat counter combined with a barbecue kitchen, and Google Maps lists the business as a butcher shop. The same press piece says it began on Scott Street with Henry Wayne “Bud” Adair Sr. and his son, and names Henry Wayne Adair Jr. as a current owner. The founding year is disputed: the official site’s tagline says since 1975, while Texas Monthly and CultureMap say 1977.
Boudin, sausage and barbecue
Texas Monthly singles out homemade boudin and baked potatoes, and the barbecue is cooked over post oak. House sausages on the ordering page include Creole, green onion, pork and beef, and beef. See the dishes.
99 items on the ordering page
The Clover ordering page, linked from the official site, lists 99 items in 12 sections, from $0.25 extras to a $376.95 catering pack. Read the menu and prices.
Counter, takeout and delivery apps
Google and the ordering pages show in-store shopping, takeout, online ordering and delivery through apps, with availability varying. Large packs ask for about two days' notice.
The fresh meat counter, meaning raw cuts and family meat packs, is not itemised on any ordering page we could read, so this guide does not list it. Ask at the counter or call the store about what is in stock.
