haven't been yet but excited to have some good BBQ in my part of town.
Haven't been, but they killed it at every event I've been to. Like Feges, their own brick & mortar was a long time coming. Really excited to check them out.
I've been following them on twitter. I think they have been selling out every day.
Went on Sunday. It's outstanding and would be in my top 5 as far as Houston area bbq joints actually inside the city of Houston go. Not the best or second best, but solidly in the top 5! Plus they're just getting started (at least in a permenant location).
Made it by Heavy's in Hondo on Tuesday. They definitely won't win any picture or presentation contests, but it was pretty solid. It tasted better than it looked. Nothing spectacular, but all solid.
I hope you didn't drive through God's Country like hell.
Interesting... I'm in Hondo all the time... Haven't eaten at Heavy's in years because they sucked the last couple of times I was there...

While not a Top 50 bbq spot, we went to DB's Rustic Iron BBQ in Terlingua last weekend. My advice is to skip it. The brisket was pretty dry and the sauce I used to help it out was too sweet. The sausage was average and the ribs were ok. I wasn't a fan. Daniel Vaughn was apparently there right before us. He didn't mention it on social media though.

What's your top 5 inside the city?

Feges, Willow's, Roegel's, Blood Bros, Pit Room
Visited Pustka Family Barbecue in Hutto earlier today. Some damn good stuff! No qualifications needed about it only being one guy in a little trailer. Legit super high quality barbecue here.
Brisket was really good and the bark was black peppery and seasoned well, too.
He also included some burnt ends which were little gems of happiness.
The sausage is excellent. While the brisket is top tier, the sausage is top of top tier, imo. I really appreciate the extra effort found in sausage made in-house.
Ribs were very well done, and in line, seasoning-wise with your standard pork rib.
After telling us he had been getting some positive buzz on his chicken, he surprised us by throwing a half on the tray. Chicken isn't usually a meat I order when getting barbecue, but this was excellent. Good smoke flavor, but it didn't overpower the chicken itself, and the skin remained tender.
All the sides were good as well.
Brisket beans, elote style corn, and apple jalapeno slaw.
But the meat was the star for me!
For sure worth a trip out to the north side of the Austin area. You won't regret it!

It was nice meeting you and glad you finally made it out after other unsuccessful attempts!
Thanks for the kind words and come back and see us again.

It was nice getting to meet you as well! Always love "hidden" gems. Hopefully you're not undiscovered for long. I'll definitely put you on my list of places to recommend folks great barbecue in Austin.
That looks outstanding.
Knew it wouldn't be long before he made it out there. Glad to see such a positive review. Brett is doing fantastic stuff out in Rockdale!

I fart in that threads general direction
I go to the outdoor board when I want to know how to cut the weiner out of a hermaphrodite deer without cutting the piss sack, not where to eat BBQ in TX.Wicked Good Ag said:

Well don't I feel dumb. Hadn't caught up on the thread in a few days and just posted before I did
I believe if I were opening a BBQ joint, I could come up with a better name than Blood Brothers.
Replace Blood with Eskimo?
It could be worse. A local place that I haven't patronized is "Bone Suckerz". Yeah... no thanks.

I'm on both and I don't think any of y'all have BBQ palates as refined as mine.
For some reason, I doubt that.

A great lunch on Saturday from Flores BBQ in Whitnet.
Beef rib, brisket, jalepeno cheese sausage, smoke skirt steak with pickled cabbage and jalepeno lime crema, bacon creamed corn and pinto beans. Oh, and those tortillas and homemade pickles!

Friday lunch at Liberty BBQ in Round Rock.
Trash fries. Fries, brisket, pico, mozarella and queso.

Those fries look great.
I have been on the Flores bandwagon for a while now. That's some good stuff!
