la Barbecue

Michelin star BBQ?! Of course I have to try it! I came around 4pm on a Thursday afternoon - no lines at all, but, unfortunately they were out of the brisket (which is what I really wanted to try). Pork ribs were great! Very peppery on the rub. The jaelpeno sausage was amazing! Brisket chili was bomb. Mac and cheese was pretty banging. The chipotle cole slaw I could have done with out. They dont sell beer there but they give you up to 2 free beers with your meal and they have several to choose from... pilsner, ipa, hazy ipa. BBQ tends to be pretty expensive but I felt what I paid for my plate was reasonable (especially with the 2 free beers). Great place to check out, great bbq. Honorable mention to the brewery across the street, Blue Owl Brewing.

The food at this Austin BBQ is absolutely delicious everything we tried was amazing! The service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is really pleasant. There can be a wait, but we were lucky, we waited about 25 minutes max. The way they let people in gradually by tables is very organized, which I really appreciated. Once inside, you place your order and then find a seat. We tried the brisket, brisket sandwich, pork, BBQ ribs, and BBQ pork, they were all incredible! The meat was so tender it fell right off the bone, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived, the ribs were already sold out, but I’ve heard they’re amazing and I’ll definitely come back to try them. The bathrooms are fun, and the overall vibe is great. I was lucky enough to meet the owner, a Masterchef, who is a wonderful and very friendly person, she even took a photo with us! I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely return. 10/10, 100% recommended!

La Barbecue in Austin absolutely lived up to the hype — and then some. Every bite had that “wow” factor: bold smoke, seasoning that pops, and meat that stayed unbelievably moist and tender all the way through. It wasn’t just good barbecue… it was the kind that makes you pause mid-bite and look at the table like, “Okay, this is the real deal.” And I don’t say that lightly. I’ve made the rounds through some serious BBQ territory — Lockhart, Fort Worth, Weslaco, Llano, Dallas, New Braunfels — and La Barbecue still stands out as the best I’ve had. The balance was perfect: deep flavor without being heavy, smoke without bitterness, and that melt-in-your-mouth texture you hope for but rarely get consistently. If you’re in Austin and you love barbecue, this place isn’t optional. It’s a must.
