"our socks were blown off. brisket was perfect. sides were bomb."
— said by someone barefoot and full of barbecue
Fat Baby Barbecue serves up bold, Texas-inspired meats—smoked slow and served fat—from inside Blue Ox Hillsboro, a bar and axe-throwing venue turned full-on food destination. Fat Baby brings big flavor to one of the most unique spaces in town.
Scratch-made sauces. House-seasoned cuts. Done right, every time. We’re serious about craft barbecue—and whether you’re throwing axes, sipping cocktails, or just here to crush a tray of meat and sides, we’ve got you covered.

What started as a wild idea—a barbecue kitchen inside an axe-throwing bar—has turned into one of Hillsboro’s most unexpected pairings.
At Fat Baby, we smoke brisket ‘til it’s barked-up and beautiful, letting white oak and patience do the talking.
At Blue Ox, we throw sharp things and pour cold drinks.
From elevated, spirit-forward cocktails to lemon drop and old fashioned favorites, plus a solid lineup of draft beers and classic shooters—there’s a drink for every taste. No frills, no fuss—just real good times and barbecue done right.
