Literally changed my world and got me into smoked meats (thanks for the instructions on YouTube). One of the best cooked meats in the country, if not the planet

The ribs are so juicy and the brisket was so tender and flavorful. The best part is that they are totally comfortable serving smaller portions like a quarter pound of brisket or even 1 rib.

The fist time I came I stood in line for about an hour with people before they opened. Glad to see it?s still thriving but as a landmark of Austin how could it not! Once inside the line moves quick. Come hungry but your eyes can definitely be bigger then stomach with so much good stuff to choose from! Will probably try ordering ahead.

You can order by the pound or just asking for number of slices. We also had a single order of potato salad single order of coleslaw, a jalapeño pie. They have a good selection of alcoholic canned beverages. Service was courteous attentive!

Not sure everything will be until the hype of this place, but the bride was delicious and juicy. The ribs were a tad too soft for my pleasure, but still great taste. The pulled pig was also delicious. Somehow they don't serve Mac and cheese here. Be ready to wait at least 90 minutes. I do not name the other BBQ place we visited on the same trip, but their seating area was probably 8-10x so big, and they had 5-6 cashes at once instead of 1.. so there was almost no waiting time, and the BBQ was still great. Of course you have to judge yourself if the 90 minutes are waiting. I'd say the brisket here is worth waiting personally. It wasn't so good at the other place, but I liked her ribs better. I guess you have to do both.
