A former steakhouse in southeast Lawrence is now home to a Texas-style barbecue joint with a smoker out back and a brick-lined pit inside.

And the fiberglass Hereford bull on the roof? Well, changing that will just have to wait.

“We need to cut off the horns and paint it black,” said Steve Graham, kitchen manager for Lone Steer BBQ, noting that the new place serves only Angus beef. “Eventually we will, but we’ve been pretty busy.”

Lone Steer, 2176 E. 23rd St., opens at 11 a.m. seven days a week, and stays open until 10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and until 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
