This place is delicious every single time I visit. Service is quick and friendly. It can be tough getting a table inside when it's super hot outside. But as long as the tables keep turning over, you'll get a spot! read more

Terry Black's always hits the spot! The line always moves so fast and the workers are so friendly. A bonus is being able to order drinks while waiting for food if the line is extra long. We ordered all the staples- Mac n cheese (the cheese is so creamy and delicious), potato salad, brisket, sausage and smoked turkey. The meat is so tender and flavorful. The banana pudding is one of my favorite deserts in town- it's light and fluffy. Parking can be limited but they have discounted parking with metropolis garages. read more

Terry Black's Barbecue - Brisket, cheddar jalapeño sausage, turkey, Mac n cheese, potato salad, banana pudding - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

Meh. The service is fast, the food is pricey. $250 for 3 lbs of brisket, jalapeno sausages and sides. Get the fatty brisket, the lean is dry and has the texture of pot roast. The sides are quite good. The Mac and cheese and coleslaw are great. The burnt ends are very good. Parking is impossible. Be ready to order quickly, the line goes fast. We've definitely had better brisket at other places. I don't think it's worth the hype. read more

We visited the Austin location during graduation week and made for a very packed small parking lot. Needless to say, we went early enough to get the last spot. The line to order was long but moved rather quickly. Ordering was easy and the meat cutters were friendly and helpful getting you what you want. Bbq was on point. Ordered the beef rib bone, brisket, and some ribs. Everything was juicy and perfectly smoked. read more

I love bbq and Texas does bbq well! Terry Black's is legendary, and I was fortunate to try it for my first time. Lunch on a Monday around 11:00 am was a good time to arrive - the line was short with just a few minutes wait. 30 minutes later it was filling fast though! I tried the potato salad, a piece of lean and a piece of fatty brisket, and one pork rib. The potato salad was chunky which I like. It was not mustard though - I do prefer mustard. It was still a nice potato salad and helped cut through the rich meats. The lean brisket was a bit dry even though it was sliced to order. The fatty brisket was tender and moist - my piece had a fairly decent fat pocket though, which I did not eat. The Texas salt and pepper rub stood out in a good way. The pork rib was not my favorite. Maybe it was too smoky, maybe the texture was a bit soft too. The bark was decent though. Pickles and onions were complimentary and help with the meat richness. Beverages were self serve and the team worked hard to keep the restaurant clean. Overall it was good, and I would recommend people try it. read more

Food's amazing, service is great & ambiance us super casual and plenty of space even w/ long lines it goes by fast. We got 1 slice of Brisket, 1 Pork Rib & 1 Beef Rib and he threw some extra to try, which was a nice you touch. Also got sides of Corn Bread, Creamed Corn & Mac & Cheese plus pickled onions. The Pork was good but not as fall-off-the-bone, we enjoyed the Beef ribs more and its as good as the Brisket. The corn bread & M&C was ok but the creamed corn was good, almost a dessert. We also ordered a Black lime Margarita wasn't too bad and Big Red & Bourbon Margarita drink which we didn't like as much it tasted like medicine. read more

I had a couple days in Austin and I knew Terry Blacks was going to be my first stop for barbecue. The burnt ends, pork ribs, brisket and beef rib was some of the best barbecue I've had. The sides were really good, the cream corn was definitely the highlight for me. Great service, staff was super proud to show off the food for the camera! Overall I'd recommend Terry Blacks to anyone going to Austin! read more

The only BBQ in Austin worth the 40min wait in line for an earlier dinner rush. Parking was rough and packed on a Saturday. The line is pretty organized walking in, gets packed like sardines around the cashier area. 2lb beef rib was about $80. Tottaly worth it! Brisket here is always flavorful and not dry. Tried 1 pork rib since it was already alot on our tray. It was just as tender as the beef rib. Love the flavored BBQ sauces they offer. Corn bread was moist. Peach cobbler was amazing. Green beans werent mushy. Potatoes salad perfectly seasoned. Cole slaw was fresh. We had to sit in the hot sun since all tables on the patio are first come first serve seating. Inside seating was just way too packed. Easy self grab to-go boxes on the patio. I like being able to see the BBQ cook out front. Will always come back for my fav BBQ tray. read more

Terry Black's Barbecue - My Tray of BBQ $152.00 without drinks. - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

This delish bbq spot was a few blocks from our air BNB where we stayed for a 17 person bachelorette party. The line wasn't too bad at 630pm on a Saturday night. It was very efficient getting thru the line. You pick your sides then go to the meat carving station. Highly recommend the Mac and cheese brisket and jalapeno cheddar sausage. The potato salad was good but not my favorite. I did hear from the bride the creamed corn was her favorite so I would try that next time. They have lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Because we had 17 girls we ended up sitting on multiple picnic benches near each other but it was great for big groups. They have a bar inside with beer and wine and some frozen slushies. I don't remember if they had cocktails. One thing I did really like was they listed which of the meats, sauces, and sides were vegetarian and which were gluten free. Being a gluten free girlie I loved knowing which items I could have confidently. The sauces are posted at all the tables to try. I loved the spicy one, I ended up buying two bottles and they're were at a great price! It was very busy but everything was very efficient, you got your own drink and they had to go boxes off to the side to grab as needed. Highly recommend this spot! We all loved it and it satisfied a huge bachelorette party! read more

Terry Black's is such a consistent and safe bet for incredible Texas BBQ. The vibes are great, the service is excellent, and the food has never let me down. We feasted on a work outing this week getting the pork and beef ribs, brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage as well as some of the sides. The meats are the star of the show and while the sides aren't bad, you go for the meats. There may be some more famous Michelin star BBQ spots but you aren't going to have to wait an hour or more here to indulge in Texas BBQ done right. read more

We almost passed up coming to Terry Black's, but we came right before they opened. When they opened up there was a line, but that line moves pretty quickly. The only worry is probably parking, they do have a small lot but you likely can find spots across the street. To the food... I was on a mission to try some Texas brisket. This spot was amazing and worth the trip. All the sides were also pretty good. I also loved the banana pudding, it is not too sweet. We got the small family pack for the five of us, and we were not able to finish! read more

Terry Black's Barbecue - BBQ time - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

As someone who doesn't really know BBQ I can still say that this was really heckin good. My friends pre ordered a family meal with a bunch of sides (fave sides were the potato salad, Mac and cheese, and peach cobbler) the brisket was my favorite meat but it was all really good. The trick to this place to avoid waiting in an hours long line is to pre order. We asked if we could still eat there and they said if you can find a table it's yours! So we skipped the line and still got to eat at the restaurant. Beware of the birds that will come for your food though! If you can get a table with an umbrella, do it. You'll be a little bit more protected from both the sun and the birds. It's honestly the only reason I'm docking a star which isn't fair to Terry Blacks but it did impact my experience! read more

Terry Black's Barbecue - The spread!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

After going to tons of big and small barbecue joints throughout Texas, you begin to think about what Kevin Parker said when referring to Terry Black's: "gotta be above it. gotta be above it." Eventually, Terry Black's comes back around and you're stepping inside the Barton Springs location on a Friday before your cousin's wedding. I think there's a stigma behind Terry Black's being a tourist destination that barbecue snobs turn their heads from. Though I have my feelings on Terry Black's as a whole, it's not a bad spot. The one thing to know is that Terry Black's doesn't sell out. They're slinging more briskets and pork ribs than any other Austin joint on a daily basis. The line is consistently moving out the door, which is crazy because their parking lot can fit maybe 20 cars at maximum. The thing is, Terry Black's isn't flashy. They aren't a new age barbecue joint showing innovative new food options. They're just putting out consistent Q on the board. Terry Black's isn't your Tim Duncan, it's your Bruce Bowen. With a group of 8, we got a large family pack of 6 lbs of meat and 5 quarts of sides. I'll run through everything and share my thoughts on it all: Brisket: Tastes very classic, but it's still good. They threw in some glorious burnt ends. Some portions were a little dry on the lean sections, but it was a solid showing. Pork Ribs: A little too fatty and the bark wasn't as thrilling, but they had quite a bit of meat on the bone and that's really all you can ask for. Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage: Not too memorable, but not bad! Turkey: I haven't had enough barbecue turkey to be the quality judge, but a good turkey goes a long way, and I loved how tender and delectable this turkey was. Mac and Cheese: Impressive and creamy, though the noodles were a little too overcooked. Cream Corn: Very good. I love a good cream corn. Green Beans: Feels uncommon at barbecue joints, but tasted like a Cracker Barrel side in the best way possible. Banana Pudding: Very solid. My mom enjoyed it the most. Terry Black's Margarita: Why is it so black? What's the secret. I think the biggest issue I have with Terry Black's is how steep the pricing is. Even compared to the heavy hitters and Michelin Star winners, it feels steep. They're moving so many people through this line that they're racking in an incredible amount of dough. They have to be. It's also so unbelievable hot and loud in there. It's overstimulating. We got there at 5:30 and were blessed to get a parking spot because I have love in my heart. By 7:30, when we left, the line was well out the door. It's always busy. Some people say it's chaotic and they don't know what's going on, but just stick with the flow, have a plan before you walk in the door, and you're solid. It'll be okay. People of all ages, shapes, and sizes were there enjoying the moment Terry Black's has to offer, which shows you barbecue is an ultimate love language. I'll take this final paragraph to be real with you: if you are visiting Austin and putting a barbecue joint on your itinerary, by going to Terry Black's versus Leroy and Lewis, Parish, Interstellar, Stiles Switch, and hell, even Franklin's, you're just gonna have to accept that you're not a ball knower. You're just going for convenience. You're not going for an elite meat. You're fumbling. RIYL: Meat sweats at a high markup read more

Terry Black's Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

While on our trip to Austin I was adamant about getting Barbecue, Tex-Mex and Mexican restaurant meals as I live in a place that isn't particularly well known for having the reputation for having "blown away" meals of this sort. Terry Black's was recommended to us but the person that was doing the recommending and was a local here had it further down on his list. And I can see why. Terry Black's is definitely geared more for tourists with the way it's set up and how your whole experience is handled. It wasn't a bad meal but as I found out later it wasn't going to be the most memorable Barbecue either as we later came across one that really did blow us out of the water. The food wasn't bad here... no complaints really but I am not sure if it's the most authentic experience either. I had one of their sausages which was the original kind and it was pretty good. Our sides were creamed corn, macaroni and cheese, potato salad and corn bread. It was all solid but portions are pretty big so it's a good idea to come hungry. Even for two people the portions gave us a run for our money and we shared it all too. So if you want a more tourist experience or more of a family affair with this meal Terry Black's may be a good fit for you. read more

I've been to Terry Black's Barbecue multiple times, usually when friends are visiting from out of town because of all the hype. This particular location, which as of this review is the only one in Austin, can be very difficult to get into. It sits in one of the most traffic-heavy areas of downtown Austin, parking can be extremely hard to find, and yes, there are a lot of tourists. There is usually a long line, and the crowds often overflow outside the restaurant. It's great for the business, but if you're visiting, definitely be prepared. As for the BBQ itself, I would say it's pretty decent. Over time, I've tried almost everything on the menu at least once, and the flavor is generally solid. That said, the portions feel pretty small, and the prices are on the higher side. Personally, I only come here when friends are visiting from out of town. If I'm going just for myself, I usually head to Lockhart, which is only about a 50-minute drive from Austin depending on where you're located. Honestly, 50 minutes is not that bad compared to dealing with heavy traffic, finding parking, and waiting in a long line. You might even get your BBQ sooner at the Lockhart location. read more

Ok so I saved the last two reviews from Austin as the best for last when it comes to Texas BBQ. I heard so much about Terry Blacks and that I couldn't leave Austin without trying it. I'm not a huge fan of bbq and I don't think I've reviewed any BBQ joints on my account because I just don't eat it. However, this was on my checklist so I had to do it. Once we arrived, my coworker noticed the line wasn't long so we just shuttled through the process quickly. I was unfamiliar on how it works or what to even order but the staff was super helpful in guiding you through the line and how much of what you want to eat. The people were extremely friendly and I feel like they subtly try to upsell you on meats but it's not that bad. The place was pretty big and they cleaned the tables quick once someone left the table. The guy who cleaned ours was extremely nice and refused to let me sit without fully cleaning the tables quick once and making everything look nice. I actually really appreciated that. Anyway, I ordered the pinto beans with beef, jalapeno cheddar sausage, sliced brisket, pork ribs, and peach cobbler. My favorites were the: Pinto beans with beef - 4.5/5 Jalapeno cheddar sausage - 4.5/5 Peach cobbler 4.5/5 Pork ribs - 4/5 Sliced brisket 3/5 In my opinion, I felt like the sides were way better than the actual meat (this place has way better sides than the other). Now it wasn't that the meat was bad, it's just that the other place that I'll be reviewing was far superior when it came to the meat. If I hadn't gone to the other place I would have rated this place extremely high but I had something to compare it to. I just felt that I needed to eat the meat with sauce in order for it to be delicious. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was fire though. Overall, I personally wouldn't go back to this one if there by myself and just hit up the other bbq spot. However, if I'm coming with first timers, I would have them try both spots and decide for themselves like I did! OOOOC 4.5 out of 5 Afros read more

TLDR: Very popular but line moves fast. Fatty brisket and pork ribs are great here. Delicious brisket (make sure you ask for fatty if that's what you're after). Great pork ribs too (tender, fall-off-the-bone). Most importantly though, they've really streamlined the ordering experience. The line moves fast. They have multiple designated line stewards that shepherd you into individual "meat" lines after you order your sides from the cafeteria. This helps shift things along. For reference, we came at around 4pm on a Saturday. Probably waited about 10 minutes in line. Noticed the line did start getting longer outside when we were leaving. Still, it seems like they have a great system that significantly cuts down on wait time. Everyone was very friendly including the smoke master outside! We chatted with him while showing our kids how BBQ is made. Parking lot gets very full. We parked at the paid lot across the street since we were going to the Alliance Children's Garden after. read more

Arrived in Austin from Orlando Fl and we yelped barbecue and this was the first place that came up. Well it was worth it the brisket, spicy sausage and the pork rib was delicious. Wanted a beef rib but we would have to have an army to help us eat it. We also had the the Mac and cheese and beans. Mac and cheese on point and the beans well something we were not used to but still good. From entering everyone was nice and helped us top notch. Place is open seating and set up nice and you might even get to meet new people great atmosphere. read more

When you walk in, it's a zoo! People are holding tables prior to even getting food which is annoying. The brisket was good, but the potato salad was amazing. The peach cobbler was ok. I would have like it more if they had indoor seating available. It was so hot and I had to walk by people sitting at tables inside with no food! read more

OMG this place is fantastic. My colleagues and I stopped in while in Austin for a work trip. We ordered a little bit of everything they had left and definitely left with leftovers. The creamed corn was a hit! The brisket was so tender and juicy and the sausage was surprisingly one of the best meats we ordered. The absolute HIT that I was not expecting was the Turkey! My friend ordered it and we tried it to not make her feel bad for ordering turkey and we ended up getting more. So good. I sent photos to my husband to make him jealous and now he wants to go to Austin just to go to Terry Blacks. read more

We checked out Terry Blacks Barbecue after the MotoGP races at CODA and glad we did. It was recommend by our hotel's concierge as a place she always goes so we said why not. When we arrived, the line was pretty long and we were thinking it would take some time to get in but the wait was not too bad. It sounded like the brisket was the best to order, so that is what I got...and it was delicious! We had several sides such as Mac and Cheese and Pinto Beans which were also delicious. Then topped it off with some peach cobbler. This is a very traditional place you would find in the great state of Texas and you would not find many other places...too bad because I love them. The staff is very nice and friendly, the ambiance was fun, and the crowd was a mix of all. A great place to go for BBQ! read more

Terry Black's Barbecue - This picture doesn't do justice! So DELICIOUS - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

I went in with pretty high expectations; this is widely regarded as one of the top barbecue spots in Texas, arguably second only to the very best in the state depending on who you ask. So I wasn't hoping it would be good, I was more curious to see if it would actually live up to that level. The line wasn't bad at all; it moved steadily and I was inside in about 15 minutes, which already set a good tone for the experience. I kept it simple and went with a beef rib, a slice of brisket, and a side of coleslaw. The beef rib was the standout for me; honestly the best I've ever had. Perfectly tender with a medium smoky flavor and that ideal contrast between bark and juicy interior. The brisket was equally impressive: moist, well-seasoned, fatty and sliced just right. Morgan's in Brooklyn would be a close 2nd though. Even the coleslaw deserves mention; fresh, crisp, and not too much mayo or sugar, and it actually worked really well as a break between bites of the richer meats. Overall, it met the expectations I came in with, which were already very high. There's really nothing to complain about; just a straightforward example of a place doing what it's famous for at a very high level. read more

Terry Black's Barbecue - Brisket, pork ribs, Mac and cheese, green beans - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

My second visit & we had to order the beef rib. Brisket, jalapeno cheese sausage, pork ribs, coleslaw, Mac and cheese, green beans were added to the tray for the four of us to consume. Beef rib was like eating some smoked prime rib, super tender and enough for all of us to share. Spendy when you consider your paying for the bone, and fat. Put I'm glad we tried it. The brisket is the star of this establishment. Cooked perfectly, opted for the Point cut which was well marbled and easily cut with the plastic forks. All the sides were good, with the green beans getting the nod from the group. Cooked al dente, light garlic seasoning, great combo with the meat. Numerous beers available while you wait,line moved quickly at 6pm on a Weds evening. All the employees we're smiling and ready to assist. The line to order is well organized and moved us through rapidly. Chatted with the pitmaster and he said they are smoking 364 days a year, only off for Christmas. This is their Flagship location and serves the largest quantity of any of their locations. Two new spots opening this year. Nine cords of hickory used per week, this place is a money printing machine. read more

Get in the food line first. Pick out your sides, then on to the meats. Pay by the pound. After you get your food, you go sit in the very informal dining area - lots of wooden tables with four chairs for each table. The food ain't cheap but IT IS gooooooood!! I got a beef rib, which they called a Dino bone. No Snizzle - that thing was huge and tasty!! The green beans and the potato salad were both very good as well. This place beats Lambert's by a country mile. I tried the original and the sweet barbecue sauce. They were both very good - not too much vinegar. They had a spicy barbecue sauce as well, but I didn't feel the need to try that. Good job, Terry Black's BBQ. You guys are impressive! read more

You can talk all you want about Texas BBQ and how it's worth waiting in line for hours at all those other joints, but in the end it all comes down to Terry Black's. The BBQ is beyond fantastic and there are plenty of sides to choose from. Do not let the line foot you either. It's always busy. Unlike, say Interstellar, their lines move within a few minutes, even when it's out the door? The surroundings are very Texan and loud, but you don't go there to hob nob, you go there to pig out. read more

This was my first time and i must say I didnt love what I got. Everything was beyond salty especially the turkey. I honestly was overwhelmed when trying to order because you feel really rushed. It was almost impossible to ask a question. However the lady at the meat station was really nice and explained to me even through the lady directing the line was rushing everyone. She also took my tray from my hand and line it up on the counter out of my sight which made me really uncomfortable and hesitant to eat my food. The sauce on the table where really good addition. I got the brisket 5/10 turkey 6.5/10 green beans 8/10 Mac and cheese 7/10 However my friend got the ribs and they were a 9/10. This establishment is crowded. Good luck finding a seat.

Terry Black's Barbecue - Dry rub I got - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

Terry Black's Barbecue is one of those places where expectations arrive before you do and yet, somehow, it still manages to meet them with disciplined intensity. There's not much left unsaid about the food itself, so allow me to focus on the experience, which is a study in controlled chaos. The line moves with remarkable speed. Not casual speed... decisive speed. You will be expected to know your sides, your intentions, and perhaps your life's purpose before reaching the counter. It evokes a certain Seinfeld energy specifically the Soup Nazi episode minus the hostility, but with the same quiet understanding: hesitation is not part of the system. Curiously, the only moment of resistance occurs at the meat station, where the flow seems to bottleneck slightly. And yet, even there, the operation never truly falters. It's less a breakdown and more a brief philosophical pause in an otherwise efficient machine. Now, the price. Yes... it is expensive. But so is good barbecue, and more importantly, so is the time, patience, and craft required to produce it. This is not fast food masquerading as quality; this is quality unapologetically priced. The indoor dining area offers a practical elegance; close proximity to condiments and drink stations, with the added bonus of a reusable plastic cup (a small but oddly satisfying detail). Meanwhile, the outdoor seating becomes the superior choice on a sunny day, where the atmosphere softens into something almost leisurely. And make no mistake: it is almost always packed. This is not a secret. If you wish for a more contemplative dining experience, your best strategy is to arrive during off-peak hours... early, late, or when others are otherwise occupied. read more

Great choice for some excellent bbq. It was so crowded which I took to be a good sign. You get in line and order the sides you want. Then get the meats at the check out. It's very efficient and the line moves fast. Once you get to check out. You pick what you want, and everything is weighed and priced by the pound. We tried the brisket, ribs, and sausage. All good but the brisket was outstanding. Perfect smoke ring and amazing flavor. They have beer and wine. The sevice was very friendly and the staff is constantly clearing and cleaning tables. Great place to get Texas BBQ. read more

Terry Black's Barbecue - Brisket ! - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

Terry Black's is decent BBQ, but given all the hype, I walked away a little underwhelmed. The lines are long and the ordering process is honestly a chaotic mess. You get rushed through the sides before you can even look, and the meat line is so loud and crowded that it's hard to enjoy the experience at all. Pricing is also something to be aware of -- portions are sold by the pound and it adds up fast, so don't be shocked when a single beef rib rings in close to $50. The food was decent (meats I got were more on the drier side), just not quite the "wow" bite that justifies the wait and the price tag. I'd say it is still worth the trip if it is your first time. read more
