Ok this is a worthy Q... not enough details, ok start with Brisket…read more Lean meat on a toasted bun which helps the bun stay together and the crispy edges bring texture into the mix. The meat on both visits lean as never have I had brisket without chunks of fat that I had to dive into the meat to remove. That's not how to start your Q enjoyment. Very tasty beef as is. I personally don't eat what was the latest trend a decade ago in Q ... such as everything including the kitchen sink on my smoked meat and sauce which is thick with a negligible sweet-tang. Slaw on the side or any other side, but the traditional slaw is my go to. Mayo based without being heavy handed in its construction, yet it is not dry. And yes you guessed it, no poppy, caraway, or fennel seeds in it either (props on that). The green onion sausage was enjoyably not dry and not greasy. How do you figure that out! For the ambiance... really it's a Bar B Que joint. Tables don't have hand carved latest love birds but they are covered and cleaned and come with a roll of Ecco friendly paper towels. For those like myself who make a mess when eating Q. There's a TV and plenty of windows for the view. Staff were down right polite and helpful in navigating their menu items and making suggestions to consolidate items into a $ combo instead of +$ a-la carte. Oh and Iced tea was Southern Sweet tea, not pancake syrup. My only detractor is a personal preference. It's the amount of smoke is less than I prefer, but this Q will win you over.

Having lived in Austin and being obsessed with BBQ I'd call myself a little bit of a BBQ perfectionist. Anyone who has done it themselves knows to get it right you can't rush it, takes good prep, cooking process, and resting/proper finishing. Salty Joe's definitely focuses on all of those aspects of making good barbecue and the finished product is tasty. Their Brisket is juicy, smokey, and rich beef flavors, the ribs are tender and seasoned well, and the pulled pork is a good balance of prim flavor and smokiness. Don't skip on the drinks (margaritas are delicious) or the desert

My buddy and I stopped in here one Saturday for lunch and decided to split an order of Philly cheesesteak eggrolls and a sampler platter. The eggrolls were solid and came with a cheese dipping sauce. There were 3 of these that were cut in half so really enough for 3-4 people to get a taste. The sampler platter came with ribs, brisket, and pulled pork with 2 sides. We got the beans and corn pudding. The corn pudding is a misnomer as this is really cornbread. Still good though. The meats were all pretty good with the brisket being better than I expected. Their sauces were not my favorite. I think one had some sort of blackberry flavor, but I could have that wrong. The food is pretty good; the service was on point and the place itself is fun and funky.

Service is great, prices are very reasonable for BBQ, and the food is always delicious. And their Asian BBQ sauce is incredible.

Either way, the food here is very tasty, and I plan to be back very soon.

Rainy afternoon BBQ run turned into one of the best meals we've had in a long time…read more We swung by to grab food and somehow ended up with a full spread and enough to share with the neighbors. Honestly, every single thing we tried hit. The ribs were dialed in just right. Not falling apart, but that perfect bite where they pull clean off the bone. You can tell they know exactly what they're doing on the pit. Pulled pork was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. But the real standout for me was the burnt pork ends. Absolute game changer. Crispy, caramelized, smoky... slamalamadingdong. I could've eaten a whole tray of those. Brisket was legit. Moist, rich, and packed with that deep smoke flavor you're always hoping for. No dryness at all, and the fat was rendered perfectly. Loved that. Sausage was good, just not my personal favorite. I'm a Louisiana sausage guy so I'm a tough critic there, but it definitely wasn't bad. Sides and extras were on point too. Pickles, onions, mac and cheese, sauce... everything complemented the meat without getting in the way. But those mustard greens? I'd go back just for a tub of that. So good. Slamming. Something about grabbing great BBQ in the rain just made the whole experience even better. If you're anywhere near this place, don't overthink it. Order more than you think you need. You'll be glad you did. We'll definitely be back.

The brisket was so tender and moist. The pulled pork was plentiful and flavorful. The baked beans were really good as well. I was so looking forward to the mac & cheese but it was very disappointing. The macaroni was sooo mushy and it did not taste like homemade Mac & cheese. It tasted like school cafeteria or frozen that was over cooked and didn't have much flavor. The bbq sauce was very good and I like that it's on the side. I would go back but I would try a different side. Also it was VERY hot in there.
