What People Are Saying About The County Line on the Lake

The County Line on the Lake
Owner
Set in old lake lodge, the County Line on the Lake is right on Bull Creek just off Lake Austin, and has been well known for years as The place in Austin to take out-of-town guests. Cocktails on the large redwood deck overlooking the water are a must. Open for Lunch & Dinner 7 days a week. The County Line Restaurants have been serving up legendary barbecue since 1975. During that period, the County Line Restaurants have been the foci of numerous feature articles and have been voted Best Barbecue in almost every one of their respective cities. Our barbecue is so in-demand that we ship it all…

In Short – Cozy, cabin-in-the-woods atmosphere with lakeside ambience will put you in the mood for a feast. Which is a good thing, being that the portions are almost the size of Texas. The service is impeccably friendly. Your meal will begin with plentiful baskets of the hard-to-resist homemade bread--be careful not to fill up. The pork ribs and beef brisket are the most popular choices. Save room for a signature blueberry cobbler.

Nice location and good food
by MorganaEos
The County Line on the Lake is surrounded by hills and green sites and faces Lake Austin. The food is very good and in good quantity, the staff is fun and helpful, and the prices affordable. County Line is definetely a good place where to eat after or before an afternoon spent hiking or walking for hours in the Hill Country.

Great setting, atmosphere - average food
by shaft28
I want to love this place, i really do. Close to my house, great back porch, live music and good happy hour...but we just don't like the food. BBQ is iffy, oversmoked and just not that good. Not just us, we have friends who feel the same.
Service is fine, usually crowded and they do a fair job of getting to you (albeit allow extra for outside). I'd stick to drinks and the appetizer menu. Have yet to find anything on the menu the we really enjoy. Wish we could say different!
- Pros: great setting
- Cons: the food

Best ribs in austin!
by kellykiller
I have visited the county line many times, seeing as it is absoloutely my favorite BBQ joint in austin. My fiance and I went back for lunch yesterday, and were reminded why we love this place so much. Between the fantastic scenery, the friendly service, and the outstanding food, you really can't go wrong. In fact, we love the place so much we decided to have our wedding there next march!
- Pros: quality, location, service
