407 BBQ in the Argyle Area: Beyond the Denton Square

On FM 407 in the Argyle area, 407 BBQ offers two different ways to plan a meal: an early breakfast or a later stop for Texas barbecue. The family-owned restaurant expands a Denton County food itinerary beyond the Denton Square, with brisket, house-made sausage and smoked meatloaf among its main-menu choices.

Its story reaches back to a smaller operation. A February 2019 Foodie Friday profile in the Cross Timbers Gazette described the business growing from a trailer into larger premises. The profile identified Bryan McLarty as its owner at the time and traced his barbecue experience to earlier catering work. Catering remains part of the restaurant's published offering today.

Breakfast puts smoked meat into a different part of the day. The morning menu includes tacos, croissant sandwiches, quesadillas and The Texican burrito. The Texican combines brisket, bacon, fried eggs and chorizo refried beans with other toppings. For visitors accustomed to saving barbecue for lunch, the breakfast menu offers a reason to start earlier.

Timing matters. The restaurant website lists breakfast from 6:30 to 9 a.m., Tuesday through Saturday, followed by a break before lunch service begins at 11 a.m. Lunch and dinner run until 7 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and until 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Sunday and Monday are listed as closed. Check the official website before traveling, particularly around holidays.

At a later meal, the menu pairs smoked meats with sides such as green chile cream corn, with banana pudding among the dessert options. The live menu is the best place to check current choices and prices. The restaurant also links to online pickup ordering for a meal to take away.

For a larger gathering, 407 BBQ lists full-service, onsite and drop-off catering. Dates, guest counts and service details need to be arranged directly with the restaurant. For an individual visit, use the official directions link for the FM 407 address and decide first whether the morning or afternoon service fits the day.
