Terry Black's Barbecue

We came to Texas all the way from Korea to experience the authentic taste of Texas barbecue. However, due to a winter storm warning and extreme cold alerts, we were stuck in Dallas for two days. In the end, we had only three days in Texas. Fortunately, on our last day, we were able to rent a car and drive four hours to Austin. We came for one reason only: barbecue. This restaurant is a truly authentic place with a long history, even in Austin—the city of barbecue itself. We ordered brisket, beef ribs, and sausage. Texas barbecue was on a completely different level from what I had tasted before in Washington. It was the taste of heaven. The staff were incredibly kind, and in particular, the pitmaster, Matt H, was already a well-known figure to me through YouTube. I was deeply moved. He kindly explained everything to us and even gave us a gift at the end. In that moment, I truly felt and experienced what “Texas hospitality” means. As we drove back to Dallas for another four hours, I remained happy the entire way. The eight-hour round trip was absolutely worth it. The two days in Dallas were just okay, but because of this moment in Austin, Texas has become a shining star in my heart.

Highly recommended by a couple of friends who have visited and from an Austin resident that confirmed and agreed it was a must visit. A short walk from Congress Street so we made the trek. It was amazingly delicious! Had a dinner engagement so only got a slice of the brisket. The max and cheese was also excellent as were the green beans! I was so tempted to get the ribs but decided not to due to the dinner we were having in an hour. Can't wait to get back!!

Had to get some Texas bbq on my visit to Austin! I’m a little bit of a bbq snob being from KC. We got in line and ordered sides first - creamed corn, beans, mac and cheese, banana pudding. All the sides were great. The corn was like candy I could have eaten a tub! Then we headed over to the meat station. It’s all done by weight. We tried the brisket, 2 pork ribs, jalepeno cheddar sausage, and a brisket sandwich. We almost ordered a beef rib (which I heard was delicious!) but it was weighing in at $65! A bit pricy I would say, good service, not too long of a line but we went a little after lunch time.
