Went on a weekday afternoon not long after opening. There was already quite a line. It moved…read moredecently fast, but if it's a hot day, be prepared. It can get hot in the sun! They do come through the line and let you purchase drinks, which is nice. We waited probably 45 minutes. They only let the ordering parties come in, as they try to keep it a little more personal. It definitely seemed like they could improve the efficiency a little. We shared the brisket and pork La Chopped sandwiches to get to try different things. Also grabbed some pickles and potato salad. The portion for the price was pretty good. Flavors and tenderness of the meats were 10/10. The buns are potato buns, so that is an extra bonus to a plain white bun. All the sides seemed carefully prepared - no boring flavors here. While this is not a place I would frequent just because of the wait, it was really delicious. I liked that it's outside of downtown, and was relatively easy to park. If you have been thinking about it, do it! They definitely know their BBQ!

If I could give 10 stars I would! I found this place searching for good BBQ in Austin. My husband…read moreand I were flying in for a quick day trip. 8 hours on the ground and we wanted good BBQ. La Barbeque was listed in the top 4 on Yelp for the city of Austin so we decided to go with it. We flew in and ubered straight to it. There was a line down the front of the building on to the sidewalk and around the corner. That is a good sign for BBQ. While standing in line a guy walked by and said they give you free beer. My husband was curious and went to the front of the line and found out THEY DO! Each person over 21 is provided 2 free beers while waiting in line to get your food. What a great perk and sets them apart from other places that you just wait there forever. When we arrived (it was 2pm on a Saturday) they were already out of all sausages and the beef ribs. Not a huge deal, but I did want to try some sausage. Oh well, I guess that means I have to go back... We waited for about 45 minutes and 2 beers later we are walking in the door. Cute, small place but does have seating inside. Thank goodness cause that Austin heat and humidity was getting to me. The guy that was handing out the beer cut us 2 pieces of brisket to try. OMG!! It literally melted in my mouth. I have never had such tender brisket in my life. So of course, we got some of that. We got 4 pork ribs and got the last ones, mac n cheese that was amazing, spicy pickles, and potato salad that was really fennel forward. If you like fennel it was delish! I was using a plastic fork and the brisket fell apart like butter. It was amazing. Between the excellent service and the killer food, we will be back for sure. Best BBQ I have ever had.

So I eat here often because I fly a great deal out of Bergstrom, and I am never disappointed. The…read morebest deal on the menu by far is the baked potato, which you then load up with whatever protein you want. I rotate them between the brisket, pork and turkey, with the chopped pork being my favorite. The staff is always on top of it, and as for ambiance, well it is a busy, noisy airport but you always have someone interesting to talk to which makes up for it. When you are in the airport, and have at least 30 minutes, sit down and enjoy a cocktail and some of the best BBQ in the area, and people watch.

Ok, I finally got the chance to try the barbecue from The Salt Lick BBQ - Austin Airport…read more My wife and I loved the food at their other location in Driftwood. Arriving early to the terminal, I decided to grab dinner before my flight home. The setup is cafeteria-like. The service was friendly and humorous. I decided on getting the 2-meat platter: choice of two combinations like brisket, sausage, pulled pork, or turkey. All platters are served with homestyle potato salad, country coleslaw, a rolls, +beans. The sides were really good! The brisket was smokey and lean. I prefer the fatty kind as it stays juicier. But the sauce on it was good. The pulled pork was surprisingly good. I am usually not a pulled pork person. It was juicy, flavorful, and again had their bbq sauce on it. Definitely the food IS better at their Driftwood location. But, this was convenient. Overall, 3.5 stars.

OH MY GODDDD!!!! I need this place where I live!!!…read more I ordered the Smokin Mac Burger and my mouth has never been happier! This was the most amazing burger I have ever eaten in my entire life - and I LOVE burgers!!! The patties were super flavorful, the brisket was incredibly and smokey, the mac and cheese was perfection, and the BBQ sauce was mouthwatering. I was super hungry when we stopped here so I ate the whole thing but I think even if I had been full I still would have eaten it all because it was so good! My mouth is watering just thinking back on how amazing this burger was. TAKE ME BACK!!!! The gentleman who served us recommended this burger and was super fun and sweet when I came back to tell him how good it was and to thank him for hiss recommendation. It was a beautiful, sunny, winter day so the picnic style seating was perfect and cozy. Couldn't have asked for a better place for my last stop/meal in Texas before flying home. Thank you for the amazing food!!

Order was done in about 10 minutes and pickup was easy. Service overall was great really friendly and knowledgeable for questions asked. The food was delicious. Brisket sandwich had a good mix of beef and fat, crust on the outside, BBQ sauce went well along with the onions. Bread nice and soft too. Noodle Brussels had great flavor however due to the inconsistency in size they were cooked to different softness. I preferred the smaller ones as they weren't crunchy when chewing. Personal preference. Overall great venue and the ambiance was laid back with a well kept area around the order/pickup window

Overall: 3.2/5 [take out]…read more We came to Chalmers Bar on a Thursday night during a World Cup soccer game so it was pretty packed. Rolling Smoke BBQ is right in front of the entrance. We were planning to try one of each taco but they had already run out of the pulled pork. They wrapped each taco individually in aluminum foil to keep it warm which was a nice touch, though they didn't bring out the red and green sauces until we asked for them. Brisket Taco ($9): The brisket was a bit dry but the slice was pretty thick and it paired well with the acidity of the pickles. Carne G Taco ($6): Super cheesy and heavy. The flavors weren't bad but I felt pretty gross after eating one and it left me really bloated.

I wouldn't eat here again…read more I had high expectations with the good Yelp reviews. We ordered the ribs and the chicken quarter (which was more like a Cornish hen quarter because it was so small) The burnt end black eyed peas were we very spicy, which I like, but it was not noted and they were salty. We threw them away. I was not impressed and $7 for the chicken (see pic) is a crime when it's that tiny.

I ordered the pork ribs with black eyed peas and burnt ends, and everything was packed with flavor. The ribs were tender and well seasoned, about three in my order, and came with a tangy sauce , grilled toast plus pickled tomatoes and onions that were downright addictive. The Black Eyed Peas were bold and spicy, with chunks of smoky burnt ends mixed in. Definitely not shy on seasoning. They serve everything on compostable plates which I really appreciate. The staff was friendly and knew their stuff. They mentioned the menu rotates often, so what's on today might not be there next time. Small batch, small menu, but worth it. The truck was set up at the brewery, so there's plenty of seating--inside, shaded, or in the sun--and drinks come from the brewery itself. Only reason I took off a star was the limited options, but overall, the food was fantastic. I'd absolutely come back to try more from their menu.
