    Pretty solid BBQ in Lago Vista! Got to meet the owner and he was very nice, gave a very warm, homey feel. My favorite was the turkey, very tender and flavorful. Goes well with all the sides, stand out side was the elote.

    After the popular BBQ food truck owner passed away this year and the business closed down, Lago Vista was missing a pure Texas BBQ experience till now. Legacy BBQ is next up to fill those large boots. The former food truck pit master is over at Legacy giving it a try. I believe the mural on the wall pays tribute to the relationship, thus the name Legacy. My understanding is the same ownership group of a few other restaurants on this same shopping strip are also involved in opening this place. Me and the wifey ordered a variety of meats including the brisket, jalapeño sausage, ribs and smoked wings along with the potato salad and beans for sides. The meats did not overly impress. I think some more work needs to be done on increasing the flavor as us Texans are quite particular in what we like. Get some spice into those wings because the chicken itself looks impressive just needs a slight boost. Find a better combination of rub for the ribs and brisket. It's close but not quite there yet. If I realized anything about the other owners restaurants, I believe they can tweak it enough to push it over to the Wow side. It seems to me that most iconic Texas BBQ restaurants have a pit at the same location as the restaurant. The smoke aroma will bring in people like a rancher call to his cattle. Since this is a brick and mortar store, it has some limitations from that prospective. Although the inside picnic tables are the most impressive I've ever seen, it crowds the inside too much, thus losing the inside dining appeal. These are merely my observations, and since it has only been open for a few weeks, I have hopes that enough changes can be made to be the Legacy it set out to be. Good luck and God bless Texas !

    Found this place by googling "best bbq in Lago Vista". First off, the chicken is hands down the TRUTH. The pork ribs tender, if you lack your front teeth it's okay they easily fall off the bone. Of course the brisket is good, but I'm telling you that chicken did something magical to my soul. And the price for what I paid, you can't BEAT IT. Although I don't live in Lago Vista, this is a bbq joint I'm willing to drive out of my way for.

    Dam that joint was good…read more For the past couple weeks I've been planning a team gathering for the company I help Manage up in Austin, TX and it finally happened! We stayed at the @hyattplace in Lake Travis/Four Points and chose @bestdambbqjoint to take our group for a celebratory lunch in Texas Hill Country. This joint is the real deal, folks! Nestled on the sprawling oasis that is @planetrockvodka on Lake Travis, Best Dam BBQ is serving up some of the best smokey Texas goodness I've ever had. On top of that, you can enjoy vodka distilled on the property by @planetrockvodka From top to bottom, everything was remarkable, and for good reason. Scott, the property/business owner and Pit-master, could not have been cooler and is absolutely hands-on with his product. His attention and love for what he does most certainly came out in the food! It doesn't hurt that the truck staff could not have been any sweeter. Our group enjoyed a little of everything. Sliced Brisket Sandwiches, Rib Combos, Texas Twinkies, Brisket Quesadillas, Loaded Texas Potatoes, and on and on. The food was truly awesome. But what everyone seem to enjoy the most was just a setting. They was a Calf for the kids to pet, chickens to chance, dogs to play with. Along with swings, a playground, darts, outdoor TVs, and on and on. Just such an awesome place to be. This was a very special visit for our group and I personally was not ready to be so blown away. We could not have picked a better hotel or a more delicious place for lunch. Feeling very grateful and full today. Life is good (Pssst, Scott, I'll see you real soon!)

There's an outdoor bar and indoor bar. I can see the parking lot getting pretty full easily. The drinks are okay. It's a little pricey and but very nice atmosphere. I would definitely come back.

    Lazy G BBQ Company in Cedar Park is exactly what it sounds like: lazy. For a BBQ joint in Texas,…read morewhere the standard is high, this place is embarrassingly bad. Rudy's BBQ should be the baseline, yet Lazy G doesn't even reach that. I ordered the ribs and brisket, hoping for something decent, but both were far below average. The brisket was especially disappointing--you could see the congealed fat right in the slices (see pictures). Serving meat at the right temperature is BBQ 101, and their failure here made the texture and flavor a cold, greasy mess. The sides weren't any better. The cucumber salad was bland, with just a dusting of dill and no seasoning whatsoever. Adding salt and vinegar should be a no-brainer, but apparently, even the basics were too much effort here. I was excited to try the smoked mushroom side (as a mushroom lover), but it was downright unpleasant. There was zero smokiness, and the sauce tasted like a watered-down BBQ sauce, giving the button mushrooms a soggy, unappetizing texture. The BBQ sauce was another letdown--it tasted like bottled Sweet Baby Ray's. For a BBQ place, using (or at least mimicking) store-bought sauce is the ultimate red flag that they just don't care. Even at $22 for a two-meat plate, the quality doesn't justify the price. In short, Lazy G BBQ Company doesn't just fall short--it doesn't even try. If their goal was to live up to their name, they succeeded; this food is lazy, uninspired, and, frankly, not worth your time or money.

    I would go back just for that pork belly with the black pepper bark! OMG…read more....... My husband never eats mac and cheese and I'll be darned if he didn't finish my Trashy Mac and Cheese for me that evening! Finally! Some mac and cheese that is actually delicious and creamy. The toppings of brisket, bbq sauce, french onions and jalapenos all stirred together makes each bite a little slice of heaven. WOW! The next morning he said, "I kept telling myself I need to leave a little bit more for Lee Lee but I kept opening it back up and eating more until it was all gone!" Good thing I had my bites right when we arrived at our hotel because I was so hungry. My husband ordered sliced brisket and we lucked out and got a few of the brisket burnt ends. They weren't all "candified" like a lot of the other bbq places serve; but they were smoky and delicious. I also enjoyed the potato salad. We were excited to order the smoked mushrooms but honestly, they could have used a bit more flavor for me. You could just tap the salt shaker and it would have been fine. I appreciated the creative side dish and love how the bbq scene has doubled down on the side hustle! It was cold out so we sat on the enclosed patio that had heaters and were very comfortable. We order a couple of beers and waited for our food. The service was friendly. This was a nice dining experience.
