However, the last two times have sealed the deal and we will never go back. Last time, they were out of beans. What BBQ restaurant runs out of beans? One that doesn't know how to plan and prepare for the day. Even though that was frustrating, we decided to try again today because we were in KC around lunch time and needed to eat. We ordered our two plates and two drinks. When I went to get my tea, they were out. My son tried to get soda, and the machine was out of syrup. When I asked about more tea, the cashier said "we're not making more because we close in 30 minutes". It was 12:50. That's complete nonsense. Basically, they charged us for two drinks and we drank water. After the attitude I got when I asked about more tea, I didn't even bother asking for a refund because quite frankly I wasn't in the mood to have a loud argument. So beware. It's dog food at best and terrible service.

The green beans were good. The pasta salad had a ton of dressing on it making the pasta a little soggy. Wouldn't order the pasta again. Also had the brisket sandwich with 2 sides (green beans and cream corn). The cream corn was really good and would definitely recommend! The line can get long around lunch but they move quickly!

I got brisket and sausage with a double order of green beans. The green beans were the star if the show. Nicely seasoned with a bit of a fresh garlic flavor. Good. The brisket was a bit dry and not very flavorful and the sausage was fair. This may have not been the norm but I cant say I'd eat here again.

Everything tasted off and lacked the flavor I expected from a barbecue restaurant. It was disappointing from start to finish. The atmosphere was fine, but that is about the only good thing I can say.

The brisket was mediocre at best -- slightly under seasoned and the smoke flavor tasted a little off to me. The pork ribs were lacking flavor, and the bacon ranch potatoes were pretty much flavorless and definitely needed salt. The street corn pudding was okay, but it also felt bland somehow -- not really sweet or savory, just kind of there. I also tried the beef ribs, and they were just okay. They weren't nearly as tender as I expected, especially considering the reputation this place has. The highlights for me were definitely the beef cheek pastrami and the sticky ribs. The beef cheeks were melt-in-your-mouth tender and perfectly seasoned, and the sticky ribs had great flavor. For the amount of hype, long wait times, and "best in Texas" reputation, I left pretty disappointed. I honestly don't understand why this place is considered number one in the state.

Well, there's another one called "City Market" that skipped right past me. Or, no one thought to tell me. It's one or the other because this place is pretty popular with lines out the door! So I heard about City Market BBQ, the same day I drove to Luling, Texas! It's an hour outside of Austin. City Market is in the downtown area, and parking was a breeze; the line I saw on the sidewalk coming from City Market, I must admit, was long, but it was a breeze, too. Now, this is on Wednesday, not the weekend. I hopped in line, the line moving fast. People are friendly, telling me that once I'm inside, there's another door I will go into to place my order. I like to call this the secret door with all the good smells of smoky barbecue. Check out my pictures of the secret door; you can't even see inside. I'm there, I made it inside, and there's 3 of the most friendly older gentlemen I will ever meet in my life. One of them caught on that I haven't been in a kitchen, never in my life, when he started asking if I wanted 1/4 of brisket. I whispered, "Give me three or four, because I'm not good at math either." Oh, we had a great laugh! I sat down, picked on a rib, and the meat slid from the bone! It was so tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The skin had the right burnt in the right spots. The meat was moist and easy to chew. I was like the Flintstones cleaning the bones before I bit into my sausage and brisket. The sausage was very good, and my brisket was smoky, like my ribs. I have to brag about the sauce. It came in a skinny bottle. It was a new flavor for me; it wasn't spicy, but it had a nice heat to it that I loved! I'm so happy I chose to ride down to Luling to visit City Market as soon as I heard about this BBQ place. I would have been so mad at myself if I had waited and forgotten!

City Market in Luling was established in either 1957 or 1958, depending on the source. The…read morerestaurant's own website says "Established in 1958," and most historical references use 1958. So as of 2026, the barbecue place is about 68 years old. It's considered one of the classic old-school Central Texas barbecue joints and still operates much like a traditional meat-market-style BBQ house. This is an older building, including bathrooms... One of which was not working. Was disappointed that their sides include potato salad, and beans only because when I go to barbecue, I love Colliard greens, potato salad, beet salad, etc. not available here. The brisket slice I had likely the best piece of brisket I've ever had in my life. Now... Don't go crazy. I don't eat brisket typically when I do barbecue. The rib that I had was decent. The sausage I had by comparison to other barbecue places was unfortunately the worst that I've ever had. I'm not sure what grind they use, but it seems like it was more beef and somewhat sweet to my pallet which I personally don't care for in sausage. Overall, if I just wanted brisket, I would return but next time I'm in Luling I likely will go to the place right next-door to them and try them.
