My team and I are going to Austin Texas for a tournament and want to have the best barbecue we ever had. Any suggestions on where to go in Austin?|||Salt Lick BBQ, just north of Austin in Round Rock. Amazing and well worth the drive.|||Here is a list of some BBQ spots around town that I enjoy. I will present them in no particular order and will try to provide a brief overview of each locations' specialties.
* Salt Lick (original location in Driftwood) - Their family-style dining atmosphere is something everyone needs to experience. It is well worth it for you to load up a cooler of beer, head down south, and feast for a couple of hours
* Stubb's - Great rubs and marinades, but the bbq there has always been hit or miss for me. However, their sides (fried green tomatoes, cream spinach, etc.) have always been top notch.
* The Green Mesquite - Good all-around bbq for any occasion. They have especially good brisket.
* Rudy's - It is a Texas chain and is known for its smoked turkey, chopped beef, and of course, the sauce.
* Ben's Long Branch - This is a classic East Austin experience. Great chicken, ribs and brisket. ***update*** The name has changed, but it is still in the same location and still uses Ben's great recipes.
* Artz Rib House - The name says it all. Get the large order of their country style ribs. (this is one of my favs)
* Chief's BBQ - Another one of my favs. A great little hole-in-the-wall in South Austin that has good all-around offerings, and their sauce is very different and very good.
* Iron Works BBQ - Good all-around bbq and their specialty is beef ribs.
*County Line - pretty good all-around bbq and their specialty is smoked turkey. They use to offer great homemade bread, too.
* Uncle Billy's Brew and Cue - Serves decent bbq and brews their own beer - not a bad combination.
* There are also many great and historic bbq joints within an hour's drive of Austin, so I would definitely recommend making some road trips to any of these places:
Lockhart, TX - Blacks BBQ, Kreuz BBQ, and Smitty's Market
Llano, TX - Laird's and Inman's
Mason, TX - Cooper's
Elgin, TX - Southside Market
Seguin, TX - Davila's
Taylor, TX - Taylor Cafe
Belton, TX - Schoepf's
Waco - Vitek's
I hope this helps; happy eating!|||Poopie is usually right on but missed my favorite - City Market in Luling. If you want to stay in Austin proper though, most of his suggestions will get you really decent BBQ. One other option not mentioned is Mann's on Research Blvd.|||The best unknown is Texas Pride BBQ...if you can find it you won't be disappointed! Good Luck though if you aren't familiar with the area a wrong turn can take you to Never Never Land...but seriously the BBQ is fantastic!!! Hands down.|||Stubbs BBQ
