Parish Barbecue

"Parish BBQ is a new spot that opened in 2025. The owner, previously at Franklin BBQ and Interstellar, has taken his BBQ knowledge and combined it with Creole flavors for a unique fusion concept. You’ll find pulled duck with orange zest, the most tender pork ribs, perfect brisket every time, boudin balls, and crawfish dressing. Everything I’ve tried multiple times has been solid. I’m a big fan of the pimento mac and cheese too. They’re still running as a humble food truck, but I can see awards in their future. Get there early and try the Lagniappe Platter—it comes with a little of everything, meats and sides included. Parish Barbecue, located at 3220 Manor Rd in East Austin, is a Michelin Bib Gourmand food trailer that specializes in Central Texas barbecue with Louisiana roots. Situated in the backyard of Batch Craft Beer & Kolaches, it offers a unique fusion of traditional Texas smoked meats and Cajun flavors.
