You cannot find a value like that anywhere was in 30 miles of Austin, you definitely need to make a trip out to Thorndale and try this place out. I highly recommend the Burnt ends and ribs with baked potatoes and broccoli casserole

The brisket is fantastic and so is the smoked pork, but the links are very dry. I've been going…read morethere since I was a child and my grandmother will take us there on a Saturday. We would have to get there before noon and everything was sold out. Big red soda was always in my wheelhouse lol if you want that old country meat market taste, you will not find any better. Just be aware of the links being a bit dry.

I favor the simply spiced no frills sausage that oozes juice when you cut into it and the moist brisket. I time my visits to Lee County TX and Giddings so that I don't miss the City Meat Market. You should do the same.

I really wanted to like Black Gold more than I did. It's a beautiful, modern space with super…read morefriendly and accommodating staff, plus plenty of parking which are all great first impressions. But unfortunately the BBQ, which should be the star of the show, just didn't quite hit the mark for me. I came in hoping to try one of their lunch specials, only to find out they had recently discontinued them. I almost left but the staff kindly honored the deal anyway, which definitely turned things around in the moment. I ordered the chopped beef sandwich with garlic parmesan fries. While the food wasn't bad, it lacked the depth of flavor I expect from Central Texas BBQ. Even with sauce it didn't deliver that rich smokiness or bold seasoning I'm used to. That said, maybe I just chose the wrong dish. Their menu does have some intriguing options like crispy duck, ribs, an elk burger, and a full bar. I might give them another try during happy hour or if I'm nearby, but I wouldn't make a special trip just for the BBQ.

It's rare to not have to queue up for BBQ in Austin. This is one of those spots that takes…read morereservations and you can walk right in. BBQ was very good. Ribs were probably my favorite. I'm partial to baby back over spare ribs. Brisket was decent. Fatty slices were much better than the lean. Sausages were a star. Both were moist and great amount of fat. Pickles and red onion were a nice touch. Overall, a different spot than the norm and worth a visit. Prices are by the half pound and generous.

Like even on a hot Texas day, if I'm going to sweat, it better be over a slow smoked juicy brisket! Not to mention the bread dough of the sandwich and the mexican corn and brisket mac and cheese! So walk in, turn to your left where the strong smells are coming from and wait about 10 min for your order- even on a busy Saturday. Great service and of course fantastic meat market. I buy oxtail from here hella cheap compared to the big chain stores or even Costco. Come by and eat outside under the covered patio- come hungry!!
