In subsequent posts, Bryant said he'd ordered $16,000 worth of barbecue and would have bounce houses, free haircuts and plenty of family fun at Lufkin's Kit McConnico Park.
Pinkerton Barbecue, of Houston, posted on Facebook they were closing for lunch after Bryant bought everything they could fit on their pits.
Lufkin's police spokeswoman, Jessica Pebsworth, estimated a crowd of 3,000 people attended.
The Cowboys leave for Training Camp in Southern California on Saturday.
