"Carne BBQ ottime sia le costolette che le salsiccie, birre ghiacciate, insalata coleslaw e patate lesse stile coleslaw. Senza voler esagerare ma comunque rimanendo sazi si spendono circa 50$ a testa."

@edinum

"Beef rib and sausage 🔥🔥 brisket and pork rib also very good. Sides are what knock it down, but cream corn was the best of the sides."

"Brisket was pretty good. Sides were the star of the show!"

@nymickjenna

"A definite must-do in Austin. Brisket is the highlight but the pork ribs are also very good. Jalapeño cheddar sausage is good but not worth the space unless you want to try more things. Pretty expensive but worth it. Sides: Mac n cheese, potato salad, coleslaw, rice are all good but none are amazing. Cornbread and banana pudding are eh "

@michaelchen441

"Such a BBQ experience. Loved the whole ordering from pit. A little crazy to figure out ordering process and finding a table ( stressful) but worth it!"

"Before opening Terry Black’s Barbecue, brothers Mike and Mark worked at their family BBQ restaurant in nearby Lockhart. The brothers took all the knowledge they learned from their father, Terry Black, and opened their own spot in Austin in 2014. Since opening, the restaurant has gained a following for its central Texas BBQ including smoked brisket and beef ribs. People come from all over, and wait in line, to try the BBQ for themselves, including myself. Today, Terry Black’s Barbecue has locations in Austin and in the Deep Ellum neighborhood of Dallas. Smokehouse Smokehouse Waiting in Line Line out front of the restaurant Line out front of the restaurant When I arrived at the restaurant, I wasn’t surprised to find a line out front. Lines are a common sight at some of the better BBQ restaurants in Austin. At nearby Franklin Barbecue, it’s not uncommon for the wait to be 3 to 4 hours! Luckily, you won’t have to wait as long here. While the line can vary from day to day, when busy, the wait is often around 20 to 30 minutes. Local craft beers enjoyed while waiting in line Local craft beers enjoyed while waiting in line About halfway through the wait, I arrived at a small window. From this window I could order drinks including beers. It seemed like most people, including myself, were ordering a cold drink while waiting in line. As for me, I ordered the Stash IPA from Independence Brewing Co. and the Axis IPA from Real Ale Brewing Co. Both were from local breweries. Interior Rustic interior Rustic interior After 15 minutes waiting in line, with a cold beer in hand, I made it through the door and into the restaurant. While the line continued on inside, I knew the wait would be worth it. But, the smell of smoke and meat made the wait seem longer than it was. The interior of the restaurant screamed Texas and barbecue. I knew I was in the Lone Star state with all the Texas-themed trinkets adorning the walls. While open, bright, and busy, the dining room felt cozy and inviting with its wooden décor. The rustic charm of the dining room, which reminded me of a barn, added to the ambiance. Outdoor Patio Spacious outdoor patio Spacious outdoor patio If the weather is nice, I recommend grabbing a seat at one of the tables outside on the patio. While it was raining on my visit, many of the tables were covered, so this was not an issue. The patio is also dog friendly if you want to bring your pooch along. Terry Black’s Barbecue Menu The menu at Terry Black's Barbecue in Austin, Texas The menu at Terry Black’s Barbecue Meat, sides, and sandwiches. That’s what you’ll find on the Terry Black’s Barbecue menu. While simple, there were great options to choose from. But, they are best known for their brisket and beef ribs For meats you had brisket, beef ribs, turkey, pork ribs, chopped beef, and sausage. Except for the beef ribs, meats were sold by the 1/3 LB, 1/2 LB, 3/4 LB, or 1 LB. Beef ribs were sold by the rib which varied from 1 LB to 2.5 LBS. The great thing about ordering by weight was that you could order a slice of whatever you wanted. You could try it all. You could make your own plate exactly how you wanted it, which I recommend you do. Sides included mac & cheese, green beans, creamed corn, Mexican rice, pinto beans, coleslaw, and potato salad. Sides came in containers of single (5 oz), pint (16 oz), quart (32 oz), and gallon (128 oz). Desserts included peach cobbler and banana pudding. There were also a few extras to order including cornbread and chips. Complimentary pickles, onions, and bread were available at the sides station. Just be sure to ask. Sandwiches included brisket, chopped beef, turkey, and sausage. You could upgrade to a combo with chips and a drink, or add sides, for an extra charge. Cafeteria-Style Ordering Smoked sausage being cut Smoked sausage being cut Brisket sliced to order Brisket sliced to order Sides station Sides station Do you remember back in school when you would visit the cafeteria for lunch? You would get in line, pick the food you want, then pay at the end of the line. Terry Black’s Barbecue used this same idea. I waited in line, grabbed a tray, picked my sides, picked my meats, and paid at the end of the line. I especially enjoyed watching the brisket and ribs sliced on the spot. This simple concept kept the line moving. Plate A beautiful plate of meat A beautiful plate of meat I wanted to try a little bit of everything, so I ordered all the meats except for the chopped beef. Depending on what you order, your plate might look different. For meats I had brisket ($26.98/lb), beef ribs ($26.98/lb), pork ribs ($21.98/lb), turkey ($21.98/lb), and jalapeño cheddar sausage ($21.98/lb). For sides, I had the cornbread ($1.00), coleslaw ($2.95), and mac & cheese ($6.50). Brisket Close up of the brisket Close up of the brisket Since I haven’t been to Franklin Barbecue, I can’t say for sure that Terry Black’s Barbecue serves the best brisket in Austin. But, what I can say is the brisket at Terry Black’s Barbecue was the best I have ever had. Everything from the flavor, to the texture, to the color of the brisket was perfect. Brisket can be a tough cut of meat to cook. It is easy to overcook, resulting in a dry piece of meat. I know this from personal experience. But, this was not the case here. The brisket was cooked to perfection. When I picked up the brisket, I noticed a few things. First, the red smoke ring. While the smoke ring didn’t add any flavor, it is a sign of great low and slow BBQ. Second, I couldn’t believe how tender the brisket was. The meat wanted to fall apart but didn’t on its own. But, when I pulled ever so slightly, the meat pulled apart. At the same time, the brisket was so moist that its juices were oozing out. When I took my first bite, I realized at that moment what true central Texas BBQ was. The thick cut of smoky brisket melted in my mouth. Sure it was salty and peppery, but I could taste all the wonderful flavors of the meat. The complementing flavors and textures between the charred crust, tender meat, and rich, fatty parts came together to form the perfect cut of smoked meat. This was the best brisket I have ever had. Beef Rib They say you eat with your eyes first. And, this beef rib looked beautiful. The outside of the rib was shiny and crusty after cooking for hours in the smoker. This low and slow process resulted in the perfect smoke ring and distinct smoky flavor. Though smoked for hours, and seasoned with salt and pepper, the meaty, beefy flavors of the ribs were never lost. The low and slow process also resulted in a tender, moist meat. The meat, which was rich, salty, and fatty, melted in my mouth with each bite. Its texture was unlike anything I have had before. When I pulled on the meat, it wanted to break apart but held together for the perfect bite."
