    Senior Brisket plate $12.99
    Rick R.

    Went to County line BBQ on the lake this Labor Day 9/7/26. Looking out the window it was so peaceful. I started off with Tea and complimentary bread along with free sausage appetizer with app download. Ordered Senior brisket plate with coleslaw, potato salad and beans for only $12.99 My server Debra was so welcoming and sweet. Great food and great service.

    Came here on a Saturday and got food from the lunch menu. Which is nice, not a lot of restaurants serve their lunch menu price on weekends nowadays. There is plenty of parking. The weather was nice, so we decided to sit outside in the patio, and you can see the water from where you sit. Good thing too because the inside smelled a bit weird. Service was okay. It seemed like only one waiter was working the area, so she was kind of busy. Sadly, there was hair twice in the mac and cheese, but the waitress handled it just fine, and lucky on the third attempt, there was no hair. The sausage had a nice little kick to it, which was nice. The mac and cheese was creamy, and the warm homemade bread with the honey butter was great; a touch of sweet definitely helps it. Not a bad place for lunch as they do give a decent amount of food. The homemade bread was an additional cost, and the sub for mac and cheese as well.

    I first visited County Line on the Lake 29years ago with my nephew and niece who were visiting from Chile. My nephew now lives in Dallas and yesterday he brought his daughter and her fiancé, who are visiting from Chile, to Austin, and I decided to have our lite afternoon snack at the County Line for old times' sake. Although it was cold and gloomy day, we were able to sit on the spacious enclosed deck that was heated. Our server Brooklyn was excellent, very attentive. We ordered the "All You Can Stand" which was the following, Starter: Chips and House-made Salsa 6 Smoked Meats: Brisket, Sausage, Chicken, Peppered Turkey Breast, Pork Ribs and Beef Ribs. Sides: Potato Salad, Coleslaw, Beans, and Homemade Bread Dessert: Warm Homemade Peach Cobbler topped with Blue Bell Vanilla Ice Cream We thoroughly enjoyed the smoked meats except for the Beef Ribs that needed some attention, like a little seasoning and the meat didn't fall off of the bone. The sides were a bit mundane. The Homemade Peach Cobbler was served warm topped with Blue Bell Vanilla Ice Cream was the highlight of the meal. I love the location and atmosphere of the County Line and it's a great place to bring out of town guests for a unique experience.

    County Line was great! We picked this spot based on reviews and the waterfront seating. You can walk down to the docks and feed the ducks and turtles - so fun! Our service was excellent, we got our food incredibly fast and everything was hot and fresh. I rate the BBQ a 3.5/5. We like a little more bark and char. But it really was yummy and moist. Sides were all excellent as well. You can get complimentary bread upon request. The inside is really neat. We spent a few minutes taking pictures of antique signage and neon on the way out. No wait at all during the week at lunch!

    Uber eats delivery of a full rack of beef ribs and a half rack of pork ribs. I must say, although I enjoy the beef ribs and feel like they are incredibly good value, they certainly don't compete well with some of the best beef ribs in town, but they're good nonetheless. On the other hand, I haven't had the pork ribs in a pretty good while, and they were absolutely perfect, perfectly seasoned, the sauce was great, they were tender and good size, and really, really good!

    This is an old-school Texas BBQ house that knows exactly what it is. No gimmicks, no fusion - just straight execution. In the key places, it still delivers. The beef rib is the reason to come. Heavy bark, deep smoke, fat rendered to a clean gloss. When you can pull the rib bone and strip the silver membrane clean, that's not luck - that's a pitmaster who understands time, temperature, and restraint. I've had beef ribs all over Houston, Austin, San Antonio and beyond; this one still holds its ground without apology. The spicy BBQ sauce was the surprise. I expected a generic "hot version" and instead got a focused, layered heat that cuts through the fat and lifts the smoke instead of masking it. It doesn't decorate the meat - it works with it. Supporting cast: * Hot link - proper snap, smoke, and clean fat. * Baby back ribs - classic, slightly sweet, exactly what they should be. * Fatty brisket - above average and honest about its role: not the star, but not coasting. * Bread basket - that old-school, slightly sweet soft bread that hasn't changed in decades. It shouldn't pair this well with BBQ, but it does. Then there was the iced tea moment. The server asked, "Sweet, unsweet, or half-and-half?" - a perfectly normal question. For someone who learned BBQ culture in Texas, it was just a reminder that time moves on. Back then, with a plate like this, it was beer or half-and-half by default. Places evolve. The ribs, fortunately, still speak the same language. County Line sits comfortably above standard, and the beef rib with spicy sauce is still worth planning around. I've eaten a lot of ribs in a lot of cities; this one still reminds me where my taste was trained. - Dr C Only writing for what truly earns the stars.

    This is a relaxing location to eat BBQ. It does get busy and you should avoid those times. When it isn't so busy, the service is great as was so this past Sunday. The meat is good but maybe not the best in Austin. I do like the value of your meal. There is a lot of food on your platter with all the sides.

    My husband and I met up with some friends at the County Line on the Lake. We drove up, parked, and walked in. Luckily our friend got us on the list. We requested seating with a view and we waited for about 10 minutes.The restaurant is pretty cool with a rustic, laid back atmosphere. Not long after sitting we were greeted by an a waiter that did a good job taking care of us. We placed our drink orders and looked at the menu. Our waiter came back with our drinks and then took our order. We all decided to share a half loaf of the house made bread. It's really good. It's warm and addicting. I added some honey butter to my bread and it was delicious. For my main dish I ordered the Brisket Sandwich with Lean meat and it came with one side so I ordered the potato salad. My husband and I decided to share an order of beans. The brisket sandwich was good. It was nice and filling. The meat was lean which I prefer because it has less fat. The BBQ sauce, pickles, and onions added flavor. The potato salad was good with the potato chunks and and other ingredients. It's my favorite side from County Line. The beans were good. They were very hot in terms of temperature and had some flavor from the seasoning. Overall it was a good place to go and have some BBQ. The service was good, the atmosphere was cool and the view of the lake was awesome.

    Fast seating for a family of 6 in a Sunday. Homemade bread was delicious! Food itself was average but reasonable price. Cute like lake and turtles and fishes you can feed. Service was good and efficient. I would go back even with a big group.

    Decent bbq and good service. Large portions come hungry. The smoked wings are some of the best around.

    It's a kinda of a cliché Texas bbq place but the food didn't meet my expectations. I think the food was comparable to a fast food restaurant (e.g. Chilis or Applebees), but the service and ambience is what you would expect from a Texas bbq restaurant . The service was very hospitable. Every server or hostess was very attentive and doubled checked on us. The decoration was authentic. But the food came out after 10 minutes we ordered, which tells me it was simply heated up. Maybe sitting there for a while. The meat was chewy almost rubbery. But hey, I'd be back since this was the only place close to our hotel ... the service was great and happy hour runs between 4-7pm!

    My husband and I initially wanted another well-known BBQ Asian fusion restaurant to cater our…read morewedding and were pretty set on it. But after our guest list grew, we had to move locations and our venue was no longer within their catering vicinity. I searched high and low for different vendors that fit the fusion that we wanted, but couldn't find anything that fit just right (or that didn't break the bank). Then I somehow stumbled across Rebel Catering on Google. They had a wide variety of packages for food varying from Asian, to bbq, to Mexican. They didn't have a ton of reviews, and it seemed like they mostly did corporate events, but I gave them a call. I'll be honest, I was a bit apprehensive of how incredibly chill Rahul is at first (because I was already stressed out), but when I told him about our vision, he immediately checked with his chefs and created an incredible menu for us. My mom and mother in law's primary request was copycats of the other restaurant's corn fritters, and he even delivered on that. I'll attach a picture of the menu, but our minds were blown at the quality and freshness of the food. Buffet style brisket is HARD and he and his team crushed it. I even had friends with allergies and he accommodated them without question. The most popular part of the night though was the shaved ice. Part of Rebel Catering is their shaved ice package with alcoholic shaved ice (TABC bartender included). They had custom flavors to match our Asian fusion theme, and even brought their truck in to serve our guests! They also created a custom flavor named after our cat and created a sign with a cute cartoon of him. They also had tons of other drinks including sodas, jelly drinks, boba drinks, and energy drinks. TLDR: HIRE REBEL CATERING. Your guests will love you forever.
