Pulled pork is amazing! Unfortunately, I did not have the best experience with the staff. The man and woman were argarguing pretty bad. The woman was nice and apologetic to me but the man was rude. They were exchanging words and it was a bit awkward and mostly unprofessional. read more

We like to try new to us BBQ joints and decided to give this place a go. We really thought this would be a great place based on the rating here on Yelp. I'll start out by saying that this place is really small. The pictures make it look bigger than it really is. The lady who took our order was very pleasant. However the BBQ meat was a HUGE disappointment. I ordered the 2 meat (brisket and chicken) plate which came with two sides. Both of the meats were extremely under seasoned and virtually flavorless. I had to use a lot of black pepper just to get some flavor out. Considering that they use pits to smoke the meat, a smoke ring was nonexistent. It appears that they cook boneless and skinless chicken breasts because all I got was three sliced medallions of the meat. In my opinion, chicken needs to be smoked bone in with the skin to add flavor to the meat. The brisket was bland and flavorless without adding any sauce. My two sides were yams and collard greens. The yams are basically just cooked sweet potatoes that have been mashed. They were good but nothing to write home about. The collard greens were pretty good. Please note that they do not have any vinegar pepper sauce on hand. They do not have fountain drinks, but they do have ice tea and lemonade ($2.50 per cup). They also have canned drinks and bottled water for sale. We didn't bother to have dessert. read more

Haven't been here in a while and I was pleasantly surprised, they've had a refresh since my last visit. Prices are still good and they have daily specials. Todays special was a "Mac and cheese bowl with double meat. I had the "Combo Rib combo plate with sausage". Greens and potato salad as my side. The sausage was very good and well spiced. Yet in my old age, It was not good for me. But it didn't stop me from finishing it ("In for a penny, in for a pound".The one rib bone I received was huge. Since it was a "To-Go" I had a chance to reheat it in foil, soaked in their BBQ sauce. Needless to say, it was beyond delicious. My wife had the Mac & Cheese bowl with brisket. She absolutely loved it. The meat was very tender and juicy, with a huge portion. The selection of desserts looked very good. Banana pudding and Sweet Potato pie. I like the new look and familiar taste. I need to make it over here more often. Michael C. - Georgetown, Tx. read more

Small hole in the wall with really good BBQ. We came after lunch hour and had the place to ourselves. Ordered the brisket sandwich and the sides were the beans, potato salad, corn, and Mac n cheese. The brisket was outstanding! Moist, flavorful with good smoke and a healthy portion. The sides were good, but the beans really stood out.. sweet bbq beans that weren't too sweet. Can't wait to Come back here and try the ribs, chicken and the sides of collard greens and fried cabbage! Just have to take some gas pills with that last one .. give this place a try, the owner is such a nice guy and very inviting... read more

Green beans, collard beans, cabbage... not to mention the brisket! Every time we eat Sweetie's I'm fully satisfied. Employees are super friendly and there's seating available outside if you're up to dining al fresco. The flavors are deep and cooked tender, juicy, and just right. The dining area inside is limited but again, you have an option to sit outside if you're good with the Texas weather dujour. ;) read more

Found Hello Sweetie on Yelp and it had good reviews. Very limited parking and we actually parked across the street at the market. Not much signage. I've actually driven by the location multiple times over the years and did not know they exist. Staff was very friendly and helpful in ordering our meals. Prices were normal for BBQ. We ordered brisket, sausage, and pulled pork. Very good flavor and very little fat. I enjoyed the brisket and sausage without bbq sauce. It just was not needed. For sides we had potato salad, candied yams, cole slaw, and collard greens. All were above average but my favorite was the collard greens. Overall the experience was good and everyone enjoyed the food. Hello Sweetie is defense on 'My Keepers List'. read more

Absolutely the best! No need to drive into Round Rock & Austin anymore. You cannot beat the price. We got the 3 meat combo with a sausage, pork, and brisket. We had the coleslaw and beans as sides. Our son had the sandwich special. He ordered the brisket sandwich and macaroni as his side. The beans were the best we have ever had. They have tomatoes, some pieces of brisket, and bbq sauce in them. The macaroni was made with the perfect blend of cheeses. The coleslaw was perfect with just the right amount of tang and creaminess with a hint of sweetness. Finally the employees and owner are so incredibly nice! They go out of their way to make you feel special. Wish we would have known about this place a long time ago! We will definitely be back for more!!!!! read more

After reading the Yelp reviews we went expecting a great meal. The ribs were dry, colorless and tough. The brisket was the same. The chicken was just a sliced flavorless piece of chicken breast. For bbq, we expected a bone-in piece. The server was a very sweet lady and the restaurant was cute and clean. The sweet tea raised this review from a 3 to a 3. Doubt we will return. read more

We stopped by here for lunch on our way to visit Inner space cave. Man, glad we stopped by. It's one of those hole-in-the-wall places where service is personal, food is great, and atmosphere is laid back. When we came in, we were greeted by "sweetie" and took our order on one of the tables. We paid after we ate. Food was not bad and we all chowed it all down. Being a blues fan, liked have blues music playing in the restaurant. Can't think of a thing to change in the place. If you're at the caves, treat yourself to the closest BBQ (about a mile) when you're in the area. read more

Sorry to say, but not great. The yams were yummy. The sweet tea was great; not too sweet. The banana pudding did not have any bananas. The pulled pork was ok. read more

The best bbq I've had in TX. usually I don't like tx style bbq but my husband does so I oblige and tagged along with him to several places. Hello Sweetie is the first time I actually reallyyy enjoyed the meal. I got the ribs and sausage place with Mac n cheese and Cole slaw. The ribs were the star of the show. My issue with bbq is that it's too oily and heavy but these were SO SMOKY AND DELICIOUS. not heavy and greasy at all. The smokiness definitely made this bbq joint stand out. Same thing with the sausage *chefs kiss*. The mac n cheese was a slightly sharp cheddar flavor which I loved. Cole slaw was fresh and crunchy. My hubs had their brisket which I tried and that was delicious too. Pro tip: smother their AMAZING bbq sauce over the meet. Eat everything with your hands. Put sausage in a slice of bread and eat like a hot dog with Cole slaw topping on top. Service was wonderful too. Felt like a family owned business. Thank you sweeties for converting me into a bbq lover! read more

I saw this has decent reviews, and I'm new to the area, so I figured I'd give it a shot. First I want to say that I am AMAZED at how many stars this has. The inside is small, I had no idea where I was even supposed to order. The menu is confusing. I was going to get a 2-meat plate and use both of my choices as brisket- nope. Not allowed for some reason. I did get a random sausage that I had no intention of eating. Why? Because each plate comes with one. And it can't be substituted with anything else. The Mac and cheese has the small elbow macaroni which makes it just look like Kraft. I also think Kraft tastes better Judging by the looks of the place I am also amazed this passed any sort of health inspection. I won't be going back. The parking is horrible. Pot holes all over the parking lot. It's dark and gloomy inside. And it's hard to find. The bright spot, if you so like it you'll be tasting it for the next 3 days each time you burp. If you don't like it, well, you'll be tasting it the next 3 days each time you burp. read more

I was in town for an appointment and wanted to stop for lunch before heading back to Houston. I was able to small my way to the location( along with GPS) and when we arrived were were greeted very friendly and the BBQ was GREAT! The brisket melted in your mouth and the ribs were not tough and I love that they done put any sauce in the food, it is at the table but the true test is no sauce. Also they has a smoked chicken salad on the specials for the day and the manager brought out a sample for us to try, needless to say I left with a quart of it to-go. Ill be back on my next trip to Austin. read more

Pulled Pork was amazing. Tasty Brisket and Sausage but the Pulled Pork stole the show. This is a hidden gem tucked into the corner next to the gas station. I've driven by many times without noticing.

I can't figure out how the rating is this high. Everyone inside was friendly, but the food just isn't good. At all. I walked in and ordered a chopped brisket sandwich to go. I paid and was told to wait in my car. That was odd since it only takes a couple minutes, at most, to put together a chopped brisket sandwich. After about 10 minutes in my car, the gentleman at the counter walked out and apologized that "they got to talking and it will be a few more minutes". It took another 5 minutes. Fifteen minutes to receive a chopped brisket sandwich is unacceptable, but I would have overlooked it if the food was good. It was not. The brisket was soaked in sauce and had grilled onions in it (I had asked for no onions). There was some smoke flavor, but it basically tasted like the BBQ you buy in the bucket at Sam's club but a little worse. I think this was done in an oven with liquid smoke. There were several pieces in the brisket that were so hard and overcooked that I couldn't chew them. That was a first for a chopped brisket sandwich. Also, the sandwich wasn't even lukewarm and it takes me 5 minutes to drive from the restaurant back to work and get to my office. This is the second time I've tried this place and the food isn't good. It's not a 4.5 star restaurant - not even close. I think people just don't know what good barbecue tastes like or the reviews on here are friends and family of the owner. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. The one star is because the food and the service were so bad. The food was about a 2 star rating. read more

We have been meaning to try this place for a while now and very glad we finally did. Placed a pickup order over the phone a bit before they closed for the day and it was ready for pick up 15-20minutes after. Service was quick and friendly! Delicious smells of bbq smoke inside the building. Ordered rib plate with beans and potato salad, side of Mac n cheese, 1/2lb of brisket and 1/4 sausage. Everything was delicious. Everything had a great smoke flavor. Brisket had a nice bark was also very juicy and tender. Ribs almost fell of the bone, fantastic. Can never go wrong with smoked sausage either. BBQ sauce is the perfect amount of sweet. Definitely recommend the mac n cheese, and the beans and potato salad are always a good, classic bbq side. The tater salad was unique and very tasty. Will definitely be back. I've got my eye on a chopped beef loaded baked potato next. Thanks! read more

Brisket, rib, sausage, macaroni, greens. Brisket - dry but okay Rib - huge, good flavor, but undercooked Sausage - good but not amazing Macaroni - phenomenal! Greens - solid, I'd get them again The store is small but also has an outdoor seating area. Inside of store could use a good cleaning and organization. The drink options are fairly limited. Service was the shining star! She was very friendly and helpful, this is what makes this review go from three to four stars. read more

Food Judging Scale: 1. Nasty 2. Alright 3. Good 4. Delicious 5. Slap Your Self Silly I'm glad to have found Hello Sweetie BBQ & More by accident. This is a true definition of 'diamond in the rough' at the corner of South Austin Ave and Leander crossing in the heart of Georgetown, TX. This is about a small a restaurant as you can get, but that doesn't have any reflection on the quality of the food... it is all very tasty! Be advised there are few booths and four stools at a counter and two small tables outside should you wish to dine-in. Pulled pork sandwich was terrific with a slightly spicy barbecue sauce and pineapple-pepper relish added a whole dimension of flavour. A very gracious proprietor who greets every customer with a cheery "Hello, Sweetie" or "Hey, Y'all!" adds to the down-home, cozy comfortable, pull up a chair and sit a spell atmosphere. From what I heard this place started out as a dessert shoppe. Cookies and ice cream are also featured menu items. Whenever you'll find yourself in the Hill Country of Texas, stop in for some slap yourself silly good food and a homey welcome at Hello, Sweetie BBQ & More!

I should have listened to the one star reviews. Tried three meats. Brisket was bone dry and looked like it had been reheated and possibly not cooked that night, pork rib was OK but end was chewy like jerky. Pulled pork felt old and tired. Potato salad was good with nice mustard tang. Collard greens lacked seasoning. It was a huge letdown based on the 4 stars on yelp. read more

The moment I heard the dial tones of a microwave I knew this was going to be bad. My brisket, sausage and Mac-n-cheese was clearly microwaved to reheat. I could taste the thin film of plastic from the radiation my plate received. The brisket tasted like dry, unseasoned pot roast. If this place gave half a damn they would close their doors and stop torturing Texans with this pitiful excuse of "BBQ". read more

Tucked away in a small shopping center is a little gem. Small dining room, maybe 6-8 tables that sit 4 people to a table. In the back ground is the soft sounds of blues. Relaxing and inviting. Bottle of regular BBQ sauce and a bottle of spicy with a roll of paper towels on the table. We order the chicken breast sandwich and the Brisket Sandwich with a side of Fried Cabbage, green beans, baked beans, red beans and rice, and the collard greens. I wanted a full test of the sides. The brisket was on point, great bark, great smoke ring, great taste, and tender. I wouldn't put it on my top 3 (Snows, Franklins, other) but it would get me to come back when in town. Probably wouldn't get the chicken breast sandwich again, but why when you have perfectly good red meat. Lets talk about the sides. That's where the 5 stars got. On brisket, probably a 3-4 star stand alone. (I'm being super picky, if it was thin cut it would have been a 4 easy) but I wouLd come back again and again just for the baked beans, red beans and rice, and the collard greens...those collard greens are AH-MAZING... all I can think about. Next time I'm getting a side of Brisket, side of sausage (jalapeño) a few ribs, a pint of beans and a quart of those soulful, delicious, scrumptious, and delightful collard greens. You should give this place a try. It's hard to find, have your eyes peeled. But I'll be back. You will too... I need those collard greens... read more

It took Yelpers and a GPS to find this place, but my taste buds will easily lead me back. Here's what Hello Sweetie is not: It is not large enough to seat even a small crowd, It is not fancy, It is not for people who dislike smoky, flavorful food. If you're still with me, listen to your Yelp buddies, turn on the GPS and GET THERE! Hello Sweetie is a tiny, humble place that serves up big flavors at a good price. The brisket is a great mix of juicy, smoked meat with a wonderful bark that left such a wonderful flavor in my mouth it gave me goosebumps! The jalapeno sausage is so good I set some aside to enjoy later with a cheese plate as a snack. I'm a potato salad snob (or finicky with my potato salad depending upon on how you look at it). This potato salad is in my top 3 all-time. Great texture, properly seasoned with a zesty kick (dill?). You can see the rendered meat in the dark, baked beans which some how straddle a line between Boston beans and Texas BBQ beans -- and it is GOOD! read more

We were passing through Georgetown and my wife found this gem on Yelp. The place wasn't super huge or super fancy but the food was awesome. I really enjoyed the pulled pork and I am not usually a big fan of bbq pork. The brisket was very good as well. The slaw was very good and a different taste than I have had. It was able to impress my wife who's from KY and very particular about her coleslaw. The red beans and rice was unique. The sausage was good I guess it might be great for someone who loves bbq sausage. I generally don't like sausage but this was good as well. The spicy bbq sauce was awesome I loved it. I used it even on my red beans and rice. They offer hot dogs and bake potatoes w bbq meat on them as well. They sell by the pound and I saw they had a special on turkey legs and corn bread that day. While the restaurant was small the tastes were bold and my wife and I really had a great time. We will visit again and I wish we lived closer. Might have to see if we can make up a reason to be in the area again soon. read more

Very small place and a small business. Because of the great reviews I wanted to try and compare to an Austin staple, Rudy's that I bought at the same time. Unfortunately, sweetie was smoky, but their moist brisket was very dry. I think the staff there that was cutting the brisket didn't know what the moist part of the brisket was. They also cut the brisket so thick that the dryness stood out even more. The owner complained to another customer that he had a lot of new employees, but this goes to proper training. I only hope you get better, but right now I don't recommend. read more

I'm sorry but the bbq was horrible. The brisket was so dry that I took one bite and threw the rest away. I was suppose to have the one meat and sausage and the sausage wasn't in there. We should of gone to Interstellar bbq or anywhere else. Won't be back!!!!! read more

This place is a small out of the way eatery about .5 mile from the historic square in beautiful Georgetown, Texas. If you're not watching for it, you might miss it, located just around the corner from the Shell gas station and convenience store at the corner of South Austin Avenue and West 22nd Street. The BBQ is classic pit style. The brisket is moist and flavorful--so flavorful you don't need sauce, but the sauce is really very good. The pork ribs were just as moist and favorable as the brisket and pulls nicely off the bone. I'm not much for cabbage, but the cabbage was very good and complimented the brisket very well. The proprietors are very friendly and welcoming. I'm sure I'll be on a first name basis because I will be back for more of this BBQ often. Photos coming soon!

I really wanted to like this place. We ordered brisket platter and chicken/sausage combo. Sides were beans, Mac and cheese, fried cabbage, and red beans &rice. First impressions: Chicken platter was terribly small, consisting of a few 1/2" strips. Couldn't have made up half of a breast total. It came with one sausage. Chicken was smoky, but terribly dry and tough. Sausage had a nice amount of heat, but the flavor was off a bit. Brisket was mostly fat with little meat. It was moist enough, but not much BBQ flavor. Bland. Sides were awful. Tasted like they had been sitting a while and there was no redeeming flavor. Unless cardboard has a flavor. The BBQ beans were oddly flavored.... spicy like chili, but sweet like Boston baked beans. It didn't work for me. On a positive note, service to the car was ok. I'm sitting here hoping I didn't eat something that is going to make me sick. We won't be back. read more

Thanks to the owner for staying open late. We found this barbecue restaurant on yelp with great reviews and it was 10 minutes before closing. We called and they said come on down. The brisket, no one could get enough. The pulled pork weed devoured. The sauce was tangy and delicious, we even ordered the peach cobbler and bread pudding. They also do to go orders if you want to eat at the Square. My favorite side was collard greens. Thank you for the excellent service and food. read more
