In Short
The wooden tables and benches outside are lined with locals treating out-of-town guests to a real taste of Texas. The native stone and cedar building, like the food itself, is rustic and welcoming. The dark-banded brisket is moist and tender, the pork ribs are lean, the turkey breast stands up to its meaty competitors and a slightly sweet BBQ sauce finishes with a hint of honey mustard. You can order family-style, by the plate or sandwich.

Best meat near Austin hands down. The ribs are huge and very tender. Ask for the spicy BBQ, it's not too hot and it's way better than their original sauce. Don't bother with the sides, just get a sampling of all the meats. Great stuff.

The only reason I gave it a one star, is becuase I couldn't give it a 0. Just plain it up like this not all what it's cracked up to be. NO CASH WTF? If I owned a BBQ joint I would wanna make it painless for my customers to give me money, would not be so concered with cash income and tax frad. Lots of rules like that they are at the bottom of the menu here are a few, No separate checks, Cash Only, 15% Gratuity added to parties of 8 or more, Minimum Charge: $4.95 per person. Talk about being inconvenient to the customer. Meat was good but not worth the money. Go to Rudy's or Coopers in LLano, much better and they take CC and no Minimum Charge, and no rules. I won't be back.

Tried it twice..both times the brisket was chewy. Hate the honey/mustard sauce too. Anyhow, a lot of people rave about the place, but I don't get it. Maybe it's because I went to the one in Round Rock. Maybe the original is better.
