Barbecue in Austin

Barbecue places in this directory serve slow-smoked meats, often by the pound or on a plate, and many also handle catering and private events for groups. Common offerings you may see listed include smoked brisket, turkey, sausage, pork spare ribs, pulled pork, beef ribs, brisket sandwiches and pie, though each place sets its own menu. When choosing one, ask whether they sell by the pound or by the plate so you can estimate how much to order. If you plan to visit at a busy time or need food for a group, call ahead, since popular smoked meats can sell out before closing and catering dates often fill up quickly.
