Layer 1 · The base

Tallow-toasted brioche bun.

A soft brioche bun, toasted golden in beef tallow on the flat top, then a bed of cold, crisp lettuce.

Layer 2 · The smoke

100% Angus, off the smoker.

100% Angus beef, seasoned with our signature Se7en N9ne Master Bark Au Noir, then smoked low over real wood at the stand. You can smell it from the parking lot.

Layer 3 · The melt

Smoked gouda, draped hot.

Smoked gouda goes on while the patty is still hot, so it melts down the sides.

Layer 4 · The fresh stuff

Beefsteak tomatoes and onion.

Thick-cut beefsteak tomato slices and sharp onion rings for crunch and bite.

Layer 5 · The house touch

N9ne 8loom Sunflower Aioli.

Our signature spread, made in house and on every sando. Then the top bun goes on.

Built to order

Same build. Every plate.

Every order comes with a bag of chips. Every kid eats free, no purchase needed. And it tastes the same at our last order as it did at our first.

What we stand for

The food comes first. Every plate, every pop-up.

Consistent quality

Same seasoning, same smoke, same build, whether it is our first order of the day or our last. If it is not right, it does not leave the board.

Zero waste

Every ingredient pulls double duty across the menu. The portobello on the Wildflower is the add-on for your burger, and the aioli ties it all together.

Kids eat free

Every kid gets a free hot dog and a bag of chips, whether the family orders or not. Always has been, always will be.

Upcoming pop-ups

Our story

A red canopy, a smoker, and a promise.

Sunflower & Stone started in 2026 with the two of us, a 10x10 tent and an offset smoker on a cart. We cook the food we want our own family to eat, and we serve it the same way every time.

We are a Houston pop-up today, and we are building toward a permanent home. Until then, you will find us under the red canopy with the sunflower banner.
