Okay so I had very high hopes for this place after seeing the photos and after seeing the reviews. So I ordered the quarter leg chicken meal with a side of Potato Salad, and corn casserole. I also ordered the beans and the peach cobbler. The potato salad was absolutely delicious but heavy heavy on the chives and the corn casserole was great and tasty. What caused my three stars were the beans and the peach cobbler. First of all, my beans were beans with black pepper. OMG the amount of BP was nuts! I couldn't eat it. And the PC, who outs Lemon juice in PC?! Besides the awful tang, there were plenty of lemon seeds as proof. The chicken was on the dry side and overly seasoned! Overall, maybe I'll try again but maybe not. I also tasted the cheesy tots. Those were fabulously cheesy! Great job with that! read more

It's so good that you'll go there anytime you can and will probably end up being a regular and make friends with all the staff members! I'm telling ya, it's freaking delicious! And I love the vibes of the place! read more

We ordered takeout and really enjoyed the food. The ribs and brisket were on point, juicy and good flavor. Sides were average. My biggest complaint is that they charged me a 5% ($6.56) packaging fee... Is packing up your food not a part of getting take out?? Seems petty. read more

WOW, quick service, good food, great vibe. The workers gave some great recommendations and direction for what to order and how much to order. The price was very reasonable, especially for barbecue. We tried all of their sides and my favorites were the corn casserole and the brussel sprouts. I did feel like it was warm inside, but I understand that Texas is all together quite hot. read more

Fantastic barbecue - imo, better than the original down in Austin - and friendly people. I wish it wasn't so expensive but damn, its good!

Bbq was delicious, and huge portions! I got a 2 meat, brisket and pulled pork, with Brussels sprouts and potatoes. The Brussels sprouts are heavenly! The meat was flavorful and juicy at the time but the brisket didn't re-heat back up well. It was dry. read more

The young lady that gave me my to go order was rude. I asked her if they had added BBG sauce AMD she checked every bag was in my order and then said i get a small Sauce. She had a bad attitude!! read more

I absolutely love this place and am a regular customer. The best thing is there's usually never a long line. I had the beef rib on my birthday and it was the best I've ever had(it was just over 2 pounds!). The dirty birdie burrito is also one of my favorite items. Very solid and unique. The Picanha is probably my favorite thing on the menu and was one of the best steaks I've had at a restaurant. The decor on the inside is nice as well and feels very Texas read more

Too pricey and not good. BBQ has really cost a fortune and also the frito pie was not good either. read more

I hate to be the one but I'm going to keep this extremely transparent. My husband and I just ate here for a day date ... if you're any folk of color and had some really great BBQ in your day THIS ANIT IT, a waste of $100. The pinto beans and tater tot casserole were things only things we enjoyed. We had the ribs, brisket, sausage & macaroni, banana pudding. We did get the chocolate cake but have not tried it quite yet. My honest rating is a 2 out of 10...... Service was great one was very friendly read more

I think this place is very underrated. They have great brisket, wings, and I just tried the pichanha. How does this place have some of the best chimichurri I've ever had? I don't know, but maybe they'll DM me the recipe. read more

The food here is delicious and I love coming here when I'm in Austin. The sides are varied and flavorful. The service is always very quick and they are always very helpful and kind. read more

Tastyyyyy This is our go to BBQ place in the Leander/Cedar Park area. Service is ALWAYS great. Servers are always friendly and the employees here exude positive energy. You'll walk in and join the line that works like an assembly line. The meat gets prepared for you right in front of you (and you can sample it too). Be sure to try the Buford's Diablo Sandwich - so.good. I've also heard the margaritas are good but can't vouch for that myself. read more

OMG! The pork bellies are just great. Flavor, tender, and just could make a meal out of those alone. But it wouldn't be fare to not talk about the rest of the meats and sides. There is nothing here I didn't like. The corn casserole, beans, veggie mix, all very tasty. The inside was very clean and organized well to accommodate anywhere from 20 to 20 people in a group. Service members really knew their cuts for the brisket as well. Sausage and ribs smoked just right. Don't forget classic deserts too. Pricing was reasonable for the portion sizes. Highly recommend them. read more

The burger is to die for, the best I've had in Austin. The restaurant is open and airy, service is prompt, place is clean. Highly recommend

We've been on a BBQ Tour for the last 3 weeks being new to Texas. I've followed reviews to make the choice of where we were going next. From Austin to Georgetown, we be hit about 5 so far. This was definitely the best we've ate yet! The brisket is wet - the sides were rich and so many options. Other places have been super dry. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! And don't forget the banana pudding cups because GAA DAMN.... read more

I was in town for business last week and was recommended to stop here. And I'm definitely glad I did. The space is big with plenty of seating. I decided to get the one meat and two sides meal. I got the smoked brisket with loaded tater tots and Brussels sprouts. First, I did not expect a bbq joint to have some of the best Brussel sprouts I've ever had, but here we are. Their brussel sprouts are *chefs kiss* great! I wish I got a tub to go lol. The loaded tater tots were yummy and glutinous as expected. The brisket was juicy and well flavored. I really enjoyed their chile lime bbq sauce (I should've bought some). The portions were good and I left full and happy. I will definitely return next time I'm in the area! read more

The stand outs are the brisket and the Mac and cheese. The brisket had a crust of gold, and a really great texture. The Mac and cheese is creamy, and had a great sharp cheddar taste, throw bites of brisket in there, pure delight. The pork ribs were the bummer due to their tough texture. They had a little kick to them which was good, took my kid aback a little and I only mention that bc we got extra ribs bc that's what he likes the most, but he ended not eating that many bc they're a bit spicier than what you might expect. The fries weren't a hit, but my husband liked them. Nice to have a good brisket option nearby. For 1 lb brisket, 1.5 lbs ribs, medium sides x 2 and 1 fountain drink $107, so a little steep. read more

We got a 1LB of Brisket, Beef Ribs, and Pulled Pork. The best thing we had was the beef rib, full of flavor and fall off the bone. The pulled pork and brisket were good but very dry. This place does give you plenty of bbq sauce, one vinegar base and one traditional bqq. It was fun tasting the different bbq sauces with the different meats. The mac and cheese was bomb and the hash brown casserole was ok. Staff were really nice and the restaurant is clean with plenty of seating! read more

So close to my house and love the fact I can get one of the best all around BBQ experiences with no wait. Large space and never been with a line. Food is great. They got all your central Texas classics and do it well. Tried a two meat plate with brisket and jalepeno cheddar sausage and both were excellent. Jalepeno sausage wasn't overly fatty and had some good back of the throat kick from the jalepeno. Brisket is also great, with well rendered fatty meat. Whether you get the moist or the lean, both have great bark, good amount of smoke without overpowering and delicious luxury on some martin's potato bread. Their sides are also super killer. I love the corn casserole (dotted with corn kernals) and the brussel sprouts are super great as well and makes you feel a little healthier eating bbq. All in all, great shop, should definitely come by! read more

Very disappointed!! Drove from Georgetown to get the special, the "Natorious R.I.B", this past Sunday. Wife wanted to treat me for Fathers Day. After waiting in a very long line we placed our order which included the Special, along with pork burnt ends and 12 wings. The wings were very good as we're the pork burnt ends. What I'm very disappointed about was the Special, which was their most expensive item @ $39. Its supposed to weight at an average of 1.25lbs. We'll, what i received, if correct on the weight. Was about 1/2 pound of edible meat and 3/4 pound of inedible fat. Infact, the queso, which was added as part of the Special. Was all completely pured over the entiret fat side of the rib. So the queso flavored fat was NOT eaten. So again, I am bery disappointed with my visit to Stiles Switch and not sure if or when I will return. read more

My cousins treated us to this BBQ for our last day in Austin. They got pretty much everything you could think of, 3 different types chicken wings, brisket, ribs, sausage, mac and cheese and corn. We got the order togo so we just needed to pick up the food and eat it at home. It was super easy and didn't have any issues with our order. My favorites were the wings and sausage. The wings were super flavorful and the sausage had a great snap and peppery taste. The brisket was also an honorable mention, super tender and delicious. I'm happy we got BBQ from here on my last day in Texas. read more

After receiving the most bizarre massage of my life, I wanted some comfort food so I impulsively stopped at Stiles Switch on my way home. Parking was a little sparse but I managed to find a spot. It's counter service, much like a lot of barbecue joints. I ordered the two meat plate with brisket and pork ribs. It comes with two sides so I got the cucumber salad and the brussel sprouts. I wasn't sure on the salad but the staff member insisted on me trying it first and I was sold. The line didn't seem long, and it looked like there was an abundance of staff, but it felt like it took a little long to get through the line. Worth the wait! The brisket was tender and flavorful. The pork ribs had a nice kick of heat and fell off the bone. And the brussel sprouts were delicious and left me wanting more. I loved the barbecue sauce that they served with it! The two meat plate was massive and I ended up taking home another meal's worth of food, which I was thrilled to enjoy the next day. I'll definitely be back! read more

Stiles continues to put down a marker as some of the best barbecue in Central Texas. I particularly like the Cedar Park location, it is wide-open, communal, and fun. At this point, I think everyone knows their terrific reputation, but the thing I want to comment on is their creativity. You should always give their daily special a good look, for instance, today was their smoked and then seared cheeseburger, which was tremendous. The folks that work there are always friendly and helpful. read more

Stiles Switch BBQ knows how to do BBQ! I came by the Cedar Park location one Sunday night with my family and we were all very impressed. The brisket is a MUST-have! I tried both the regular and jalapeño cheddar sausage, next time I'll stick with the regular sausage. Both are great options, I just preferred the plain. DONT skip out on the sides, the corn casserole is AMAZING as well as the Brussel sprouts, but be warned they are packing some heat. The mac and cheese was eh, I will do without next time. Be sure to wash your meal down with their margaritas. They were surprisingly good. I'm not a margarita person, but I will 10000% order another next time. They are not too sweet and not too sour. The cashier, Alison, made our experience even more enjoyable. She was very friendly and professional and took the time to stop by and ask everyone how their dining experience was. More restaurants need more Alisons, she was just the sweetest. Oh, and I have to mention they had some really great music playing, at one point while I was in line all the guys working started singing a song that was playing. Love it! read more

Best beef rib around! We stopped by and I can't believe we don't come here more often. That will change now that I've had their beef rib! Very moist, flavorful, and tender! We, also, got some wings and they were fantastic. Smoked low and slow overnight then flash fried to order. Just incredible. We got their slaw, beans, and Mac and cheese for sides and ate every bite. The mac and cheese might be some of the best I've had at a bbq joint. The service is exceptional. You order at the counter and they are happy to answer any questions you have and even provide some samples before you make your decision. After you order there is plenty of space inside and on the patio. High chairs are available which is a huge plus for us! Adding this place to our regular rotation! read more

The crew here does it all right, from their meat suppliers to their wood suppliers.

This place has extremely good barbecue. The only problem is that it is very expensive . On average brisket is twice as expensive here than it is at Rudy's . It is better than Rudy's but it's not twice as good as Rudy's. The same thing goes for their turkey . The turkey is very good and is better than Rudy's but it is not twice as good as Rudy's . They have a very wide assortment of sides that are all tasty and their food is consistently good . It's the kind of place that you might bring someone who is visiting from out of town or for a birthday but not for every day lunches . It's just too expensive. read more

I was in the area for a funeral that was over about lunch time. The friends I was with wanted to try a local BBQ place and said this one had been in the Texas Monthly BBQ rankings. Since I have been trying to hit as many of their top 50, I was more than ready to try it. We drove, for what seemed like an eternity, to find this place in a little strip center. As parking lot was shared with other businesses, parking was a pain. We walked in and the line started on your left. Going through the line allows you to review the menu for what you would like. I didn't need the menu, as I knew I was ordering the trinity of brisket, sausage, and ribs. I got several slices of brisket and the end, 1 original sausage link, and a couple of pork ribs. I tried the sausage first and found it OK. Then I tried the brisket, and this is where everything headed downhill. That was the worst brisket I have ever had, and if it was the first time I tried brisket, I would never eat brisket again. Crumbly, very dry, and tasteless pretty much covers it. The saving grace for the entire meal were the ribs - they were excellent and the only thing that kept the review from a 1 rating! If the ribs had been bad too, I would have said the pittmaster had a bad day, but there will not be a 2nd trip to see if that was the case. After I got home, I pulled out my Texas Monthly BBQ list to see why they ranked this place in the top 50. I found out they did not, they had given it an honorable mention. The fact that it even made honorable mention makes me wonder if you can pay to get on that list. Will I return? No - one and done. I have got to put the Top 50 list in my phone:-) read more

Casual Barbecue eatery that offers single meals and the ability to order meats by the pound. I was so happy to discover them when I relocated from central Austin, because my previous go-to was now quite a trek. I highly recommend the pork ribs, turkey, and brisket, and the potato salad.... y'all, this dill potato salad is crunchy, creamy, light, I could eat that every week and not get bored. There has been more than one occasion that I've called ahead to make sure they weren't out before ordering. The ordering process is very prompt, whether you stop in for a take away order or use a delivery service. It's not the biggest indoor seating area compared to other barbecue spots, but they also have a covered patio for those busy summer days. Parking can be tricky as the plaza isn't very big, so you might have to wait or circle around. read more

Good food, clean restaurant and good service. Went on a Tuesday, was not busy at 6pm but nearly full inside at 7. The brisket was out of this world. The sides here were tasty - brussel sprouts delish. This set it apart from some other bbq places where the sides aren't good read more

This is a nice spot with lots of room and certainly doesn't get crowded as other bbq spots in the Austin area (well on the day we went at least). It wasn't the best bbq I've ever had but it was good. I think the prices were fair for the quality we got. I had the Diablo sandwich which was good but I wanted it to be better. Fine sandwich, just not great. Their fries are really good. Potato salad was solid. The Mac and cheese didn't have much cheese. Prob the worst item on the list of things I ate. I had some of my wife's cheesy tatertot casserole which was amazing and I probably should have got that for myself. Hopefully they keep that on the menu. My wife also had wings that came out smoking hot which I always appreciate. All in all this is a nice bbq spot if you don't want to pay the crazy prices for other bbq joints, though you may not get as delicious a meal in return. However the food here is good enough that I will for sure be back. Every staffer was very nice the day we went and left a good impression. read more
