Best BBQ in Austin!

I used to enjoy Artz Rib House on south Lamar, and was really disappointed when they closed long ago.

I will never go to Franklins. Can’t stand waiting in line for anything.

Salt Lick is close to my home, but their food is so so, the wait can be too long, and I don’t care much for their seating.

My oldest son makes the best brisket I’ve ever eaten.

I live in Dripping Springs, and Railroad BBQ there is good.

Oh yeah, Artz had the best pork ribs. It's been so long, I can't remember what I liked about them. The sauce comes to mind. When I was craving ribs, that's where I would go.

My family likes my brisket. I have an electric smoker, which makes it easier to regulate the temperature compared to charcoal. I've tried different kinds of chips, but usually go with pecan for beef. I don't create much bark because my family doesn't like it, so that would put me out of any meaningful brisket competition. And the electric smoker.
