StageCoach BBQ & Grill brings new food option to Brownsdale
When you think of Brownsdale, you don’t necessarily think of food. Mike Rumsey wants to change that with his new StageCoach BBQ & Grill food truck.
“There’s not much left for restaurants in town,” said Rumsey.
Located behind Brownsdale’s Frontier Lounge, StageCoach BBQ & Grill opened about two months ago. Rumsey opened it because he “just wanted to bring food to Brownsdale”.
“I love to prepare food,” he says. “I used to grill a lot, so we’ll look at smoking.”
The name of the food truck is a reference to the Frontier Lounge.
“I posted something on Facebook and one of my friends said, ‘The StageCoach fits the Frontier Lounge,’ so I went for this,” said Rumsey.
The menu currently consists of around 20 items – something for everyone.
“We have six or seven different burgers, we have chicken wings, onion rings, cheese curds, fish bites, chicken nuggets, a little bit of everything,” said Rumsey.
The menu features the signature StageCoach burger, half a pound burger patty with pepper and jack cheese, barbecue sauce, bacon and an onion ring.
“I’ve heard of people putting peppercorns and bacon on burgers and throwing an onion ring on them,” Rumsey said. “I wanted a signature burger for the trailer, so that’s what I made.”
But the best-selling item on the menu is the Loaded Waffle Fries, a generous serving of waffle fries with nacho cheese sauce, sour cream, barbecue sauce, onions, jalapenos, and pulled pork that Rumsey smokes himself. The concept was his brother-in-law’s idea.
But the Loaded Waffle Fries aren’t the only product that Rumsey’s Pulled Pork contains. The StageCoach XL Great Burger contains all the StageCoach burger toppings as well as a pile of pulled pork.
“The pork was from one of my smoking buddies,” said Rumsey. “Anyone can smoke pulled pork, we just do it a little differently and add our own little twist.”
Rumsey described the reception to StageCoach BBQ & Grill as “really good”.
“The (Brownsdale) community supported it,” he said.
While StageCoach BBQ & Grill is usually parked behind the Frontier Lounge, it also participates in events in the area, most recently the River Rats Car Show in Austin.
“The auto show went really well; we ran out of food, ”said Rumsey, adding that he hopes to attend other events such as the regional fairs.
StageCoach BBQ & Grill is open Tuesday-Thursday 11:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Sunday 11:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday is closed.
“It’s really good food,” said Rumsey. “Our things are a little more unique; you get a lot of product for your money. Everyone says it’s really good food. “
