Heim Barbecue is closing its iconic Magnolia Avenue spot in 2026, but it’s not just another restaurant shuttering—this marks a big shift for Fort Worth’s food scene. The owners are betting on a new, no-frills Heim Pig Stand concept with lower prices and quicker meals, starting with pop-ups this spring. Rising costs and changing dining habits pushed the move, and about 30 staff are affected. It’s wild to see a local favorite pivot so hard—will the stripped-down pig stand win over fans, or is this the end of an era for Magnolia? What do you think about the changing face of Fort Worth barbecue? #Food #FortWorthEats #Barbecue
