I got the loaded pulled pork potato. It was huuuge! The pulled pork was really good, really good sauce, but unfortunately, the potato wasn't quite baked all the way. It still tasted great. I took it home and microwaved it a little to soften the potato and that helped. I couldn't finish it and am looking forward to having it for dinner tomorrow. We also got a sopapilla cheesecake and it is soooo good! My family got tacos and some meat by the pound and they all loved what they got. It's a little pricey but seems to be worth the price. I'll definitely go back and try it again. read more

Okay, so it's not hard to find amazing BBQ in central TX. BUT, it IS VERY HARD to find amazing BBQ without a line. And Louie's had NO LINE, which makes this place worth 10 stars. Not only was it on par with some of my favorite spots in TX (2M, Franklin, Valentinas), we literally had our food in 15 minutes. The brisket taco was through the roof flavorful, on a very unique tortilla that took it to the next level. Thoroughly impressed. The Mac & Cheese was cheesy and bursting with flavor, while the Street Corn and Potato Salad were both just right! Couldn't recommend this place more, but I honestly wish I could just keep it a secret. read more

Oh man, finally got around to trying the burnt ends & tortillas. Holy heck, best tortillas I've ever had without a doubt. I could have eaten 20 easily. Will be back for more tortillas, brisket & sausage. So looking forward to Louie's moving into a brick & mortar restaurant!! Love having Louie's in Buda! read more

BBQ is great! Slightly pricey bit still really good. The side items are craft, which is to be expected given the name lol....but still, sometimes you just want some regular ol' baked beans without the extras... Still giving a 5 though bc the main dish (the meats) are good. read more

I'm very picky with my brisket because I've had some really stellar brisket so when I went through the first time I was more than pleasantly surprised with how good the flavor was. How OnPoint the texture? The smoke ring everything about it. These guys know how to do Texas BBQ for sure. read more

I'm 44 years old, work construction in California (I've had a lot of sandwiches in my day) and the greatest sandwich I've ever had in my life was a couple weeks ago at Louie's. Sliced brisket sandwich with everything on it. Was as perfect as I can imagine a bbq sandwich can be IMHO. Perfection. read more

This was my second time going there. Their pricing is a little expensive for what you get, I mean, $10 for a sausage sandwich with slaw and two pickle chips on the sandwich. I went there because we didn't feel like cooking that day. Oh well, lesson learned finally. read more

Five stars means, to me, that everything eaten was exceptional and Louie's met the requirements! Brisket taco is so juicy and delicious. I'm not usually a slaw fan but theirs is great and has a green salsa that's hot and has a nice kick! Pork taco was awesome and tortIllas taste homemade. Mac-n-cheese is so delectable - think and creamy with large spiral noodles; exactly what you'd want at a bbq place! Great sides, great meat and greaT service! We are so glad they're in Buda and we will be coming back often! read more

Yep, it's good! Stop by when in Buda. It's tucked a little back from the street, but there is a great setup with picnic tables where you can eat. The truck is nestled under a tall beautiful tree. I had the brisket nachos, which they were generous with the brisket. I also tried a couple of bites of the mac and cheese, which was good! read more

Drove 25 minutes to get to Louis's a second time and the pork ribs were even better. We both had multiple oralgasms. Mashed potatoes still good. Added the buttermilk Cole slaw. A bit plain but that's how most people like it so....the bbq more than made up for it. read more

Here we go again. Brisket was ahite hence the two stars. But these sides were not good. The "elotes corn" was canned corn and tasteless. How that's even possible idk! The "charro" beans were ehh.. Then i got the "queso", smh. Maaaan this why I learned to cook and stopped being disappointed after spending $40 for a mouth party that I imagined would happen. Rather disappointed. You live you learn. read more

Buda's best kept secret! I don't ever write reviews, but I have to give it up to these guys! We tried almost everything on the menu and it's was alllllll amazing! Matt and Joe took care of us, and I know it will be a matter of time before this turns into the Valentinas of Buda. Keep up the great work! We will def be back! read more

Louie's Craft BBQ - We got errrr thing! - Food Trucks Near Me - Buda, Texas

My fourth time to visit this BBQ trailer in the heart of Buda. Each time I go I ask for thin slice Brisket. For some reason they will not cut thin slices. Their BBQ sauce is nasty! The brisket is over priced! No crackers for those traditional BBQ lovers. When I asked them to cut my high priced (1/2 inch) thick brisket slices thinner the operator told me it was thin sliced and he would not cut the brisket any thinner as requested. I asked for pickles and onions with my brisket and was given 4 pickle slices and 4 little bitty slices of onion. I'm not ever returning given how ugly I was treated. Although true, their brisket is good! read more

MUST EAT HERE! Located in historic downtown Buda, this BBQ truck is delicious. Quaint little spot with plenty of seating and shade to sit underneath. I had the sausage sandwich and pull pork sandwich with onions and pickles. It was legit. I highly recommend stopping by and grabbing something to grub on. You won't be disappointed. read more

The queso is fabulous. And the brisket of course. Our order had a little snafoo but the friendly staff were quick to correct it.

First the here today, as we will be moving to the area soon. My wife ordered the pulled pork taco and I had the brisket and some Mac and cheese. Friendly service, she moved the taco, the brisket was DAMN good, and the mac and cheese definitely tastes homemade with nice thick cheese sauce. We will be back and are looking forward to becoming regulars here! read more

I read all the great reviews so my expectations were high and I expected to be disappointed. However Louie's more than exceeded my expectations. I got the Texas Two Step sandwich and it was unbelievable. One of the best sandwiches I've been had. I'll be back frequently! read more

This place has the best brisket tacos I've ever had. And the staff is always so helpful and nice!!! Loveeee this place for a quick bite to eat. read more

Out of all the bbq places in and around Austin (ive tried a lot of them) Louie's is by far the best. Everything is soooo tasty. Been there a handful of times and plan on going back many more. The brisket is amazing. The street corn is amazing. The portions are great. The vibe is nice. Employees are friendly. read more

Literally the best BBQ we've ever eaten. And the sides were phenomenal. Go eat at Louie's in Buda!!!

The food is delicious, but the service can be bad sometimes. I usually pre-order online, and everytime (at least 3-4x), my order was delayed 20-30 minutes. And two times, I got small sides when I ordered medium sizes - so check your order! The food is good enough for me to return, but I really hope this gets better. read more

Buda's Super Secret BBQ that is out of this world amazing! A little hot to sit outside but WORTH it!!!

My favorite bbq in buda! Food is delicious juicy meat and friendly service, I wish they had an indoor dining spot but it's a food truck with outdoor seating. We usually just order the food to go ! read more

Went here with a wonderful woman after Mass last Sunday, and we had an excellent time. Delicious! Since the good lady enjoyed it and I have few virtues to speak of myself, it follows that the quiet atmosphere of the place was satisfying. Plus the dude brought our food right out to us, which I wasn't expecting--I assumed they'd call for us when ready. In sum, 9/10 people would recommend, and the 10th is probably a vegan! (Got nothing against vegans, but maybe don't do barbecue.) read more

Unfortunately, not impressed (especially when there are some really good BBQ spots in Central Texas). In addition, it is over-priced.

Great BBQ in a nice location and nice trailer. Brisket and sausage are outstanding. Highly recommend

Stop reading these reviews right now. Go walk up to the window and order a Sliced brisket sandwich and a side of Charro Beans. You can thank me later. :P #SoDamnGood read more

Brisket here was pretty good not great but pretty good .. I had a few sides from here and they tasted Okae .. not much to rave about but if your looking for decent brisket they have it .. sides are not really that great.. read more

This was at a SXSW Google Fiber event with probably over 1000 ppl. I mention that because the meat was flavorful and not dry. It was a mix between lean and fatty. It wasn't very greasy either. I enjoyed the smoky meat flavor with the pickled onion which were slightly sweet. Although i had it at Austin event, when I drive through Buda I will stop by their food truck and get some brisket and elote. read more

Louie's Craft BBQ - Sliders with brisket and pickled onions. - Food Trucks Near Me - Buda, Texas

I've had BBQ all over the world, and Louie's is no joke. There are a lot of options in the Austin area but Louie's is one you don't want to miss. Incredible brisket, smoky delicious beans, and stuffed baked potatoes that'll blow your mind. Even the pickles and onions were a treat! If you want some good BBQ skip Salt Lick, Franklins, and even Valentina's and get over to Louie's for some meat candy! read more

This will be simple and too the point, you're an idiot if you don't go here! A little pricey but worth every penny

Amazing food, large portions, great atmosphere and would absolutely go back. Mac n cheese was fantastic!

MMM MMM BBQ ! If they would make a gluten free mac and cheese, it would be even better, but man oh man it is GOOOOOOOD stuff. It can be hot out there sitting on the picnic tables but it is worth it. read more

I just moved from San Diego to Austin. Quiet.....I was raised in Texas, so I had a hall pass from the locals to move to here. My point...I know a bit about BBQ. BTW...SoCal is mostly full off "sauced up" crap. Yet, I digress..... In Austin it seems the only time you can get good BBQ is at lunch...and to get that you need to line up right after breakfast. Forget dinner because at most good places the meat is long gone by then. This brings me to Louie's located just South of Ben White in SOCO. Louie's is a little food trailer located in a park with a few other trailers. The smoker sits a few feet away in another trailer. Previous Yelp reviews have been stellar so I ventured over at 1130. Yeah....too late right?! I knew I was in the right place because my salivary glands kicked into OD up entering the lot, yet I was confused....there was no line! I saw lights, napkins and stuff on the counter. As I approached I was greeted by a smiling employee asking me what I would like. Thank You Jesus! I ordered brisket, pork ribs and two sides...mac & cheese and cilantro slaw. I recently watched a video review of Louie's pork ribs where the guy almost went into convulsions because he thought the ribs were so good. They were excellent, but what sent me into the throes of ecstasy was the brisket.....moist, great bark and just exploding with smoke. At that point I knew I was home! Both sides were also excellent and the person who waited on me was great. The mac & cheese was like grandma's and the cilantro slaw was a great.....crunchy fresh and bursting with flavor. So, if you can't get the morning off to go get lunch try out Louie's BBQ. It is outstanding and there are (at least until word gets out) no lines. read more

Awesome food. Best Mac n cheese around! Easy ordering makes planning ahead a breeze. The tacos are amazing on homemade tortillas. All the meat has been great. My favorite is the ribs and brisket. read more
