I feel like someone else posted a pic of Terry Blacks bbq for similar price but a lot more meat. Maybe it’s how you order?

We came to Texas all the way from Korea to experience the authentic taste of Texas barbecue. However, due to a winter storm warning and extreme cold alerts, we were stuck in Dallas for two days. In the end, we had only three days in Texas.
Fortunately, on our last day, we were able to rent a car and drive four hours to Austin. We came for one reason only: barbecue. This restaurant is a truly authentic place with a long history, even in Austin—the city of barbecue itself. We ordered brisket, beef ribs, and sausage.
Texas barbecue was on a completely different level from what I had tasted before in Washington. It was the taste of heaven.
The staff were incredibly kind, and in particular, the pitmaster, Matt H, was already a well-known figure to me through YouTube. I was deeply moved. He kindly explained everything to us and even gave us a gift at the end. In that moment, I truly felt and experienced what “Texas hospitality” means.
As we drove back to Dallas for another four hours, I remained happy the entire way. The eight-hour round trip was absolutely worth it. The two days in Dallas were just okay, but because of this moment in Austin, Texas has become a shining star in my heart.

Highly recommended by a couple of friends who have visited and from an Austin resident that confirmed and agreed it was a must visit. A short walk from Congress Street so we made the trek. It was amazingly delicious! Had a dinner engagement so only got a slice of the brisket. The max and cheese was also excellent as were the green beans! I was so tempted to get the ribs but decided not to due to the dinner we were having in an hour. Can’t wait to get back!!

Had to get some Texas bbq on my visit to Austin! I’m a little bit of a bbq snob being from KC.
We got in line and ordered sides first – creamed corn, beans, mac and cheese, banana pudding. All the sides were great. The corn was like candy I could have eaten a tub!
Then we headed over to the meat station. It’s all done by weight. We tried the brisket, 2 pork ribs, jalepeno cheddar sausage, and a brisket sandwich. We almost ordered a beef rib (which I heard was delicious!) but it was weighing in at $65!
A bit pricy I would say, good service, not too long of a line but we went a little after lunch time.

Where do we even start? Terry Black’s BBQ was an absolute experience from beginning to end.
We were lucky enough to get a behind-the-scenes look at the pit, and Pitmaster Alex truly showed us how it’s done. The slow smoking process and the precision with which they control the heat is next level, you can really see the craftsmanship and passion that goes into every cut of meat.
Walking inside, we were greeted by such a friendly and welcoming staff. The service matched the quality of the food. The person slicing the meat did it with such skill and care, and even let us sample a few bites which, of course, were incredible.
From the pit demo to the final bite, everything hit the spot. Amazing food, great people, and an all-around top-tier BBQ experience. We’ll definitely be back!

This was my first time visiting Austin and trying Terry Black’s. I came here from a friend’s recommendation and I’m glad I did. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. I ordered a lot of food. Probably more food than one person should order, but there was a lot to try. I got the sliced brisket, the original sausage, pork ribs, mac and cheese, green beans, and a fountain drink. I had leftovers to take home. One of the employees, Andres, elevated my experience by helping me get to-go containers, to-go cutlery, and a to-go bag. He was friendly and knowledgeable. I look forward to eating here in the future!

Another BBQ spot checked off the list! This was our first visit and the place was buzzing—super lively with a big, inviting patio that clearly knows it’s the star of the show. Ordering is counter-style, and yes, they do serve alcohol, which already earns points.
We came for the brisket (obviously), but also grabbed ribs and sausage. The brisket had good flavor, but if I’m being honest, it leaned a little dry for my taste. The ribs though? Absolute winner. Juicy, smoky, fall-off-the-bone goodness. If you’re coming here, don’t overthink it—get the ribs.
We also loaded up on sides: mac and cheese, beans, coleslaw, green beans, and cornbread. The mac and cornbread were the clear favorites and definitely deserved a second bite…or third.
All in all, I’m glad we gave this BBQ place a try and I’d 100% come back—mainly for those ribs that understood the assignment.

The customer service and atmosphere here are top tier, food was tasty, well seasoned, but they need better bbq sauces. Brisket has a tasty bark, just not very flaky, juice and tender for sure though. Sausage, rib, and turkey were all tasteful and well seasoned as well, not too salty like you sometimes see with texas bbq. Overall a 4.5 out of 5 on flavor, but the customer service really sells this place, I would come back time and again because its obvious they care about the customers, the food they serve, and the atmosphere they’re setting for patrons. Music was also on point.

Our visit to Terry Black’s Barbecue was nothing short of amazing. This place has always been our favorite spot for barbecue in Texas, and this visit made it even more special. My fiancée and I brought both of our families here as they traveled in from out of town for our wedding happening in just a couple of days, and it turned out to be the perfect choice.
From the moment we walked in with our large group, everything was incredible. The food was absolutely outstanding as always and the drinks were just as great. Everything came together flawlessly for such an important family gathering.
To top it all off, we were surprised with an unforgettable experience at the end of our meal. Beto from Terry Blacks came over with a warm congratulatory champagne toast and even took us back to the pits to see the Alex the pitmaster in action. And the hats we received were the cherry on top.
This experience solidified why Terry Black’s is truly the best, not just for the incredible flavor and quality of the barbecue, but for the hospitality, the atmosphere, and what the place represents. Cheers!

It’s ok BBQ, it’s overrated. For this tray, it’s definitely not worth $146. Brisket is a 4, ribs and sausages are 3. Side of corn is two sweet, tasted like dessert and macaroni is way too dry, with barely any cheese on it. The place is crowded and service is good, they moved the line fast, but it could be organized a little bit better. Would I come back for this? No.

My friends and I were visiting a buddy that recently moved to Austin and when we ask for the best BBQ spot- he brought us here.
The food here was absolutely phenomenal! We orderd the Small Family Pack: 3 lbs of meat and 5 sides. We got the sausage( both flavors) brisket, chopped beef, and turkey. The brisket was so tender and juicy, both sausage had the perfect snap and opting in to get the jalapeno sausage definitely was good choice. Never had chopped beef before- and it was delicious. Hands down the best BBQ I’ve had. The place has ton of indoor and outdoor seating- but on a first come first sit basis. Be fore warned- this place is extremely busy so know what to order and have your payment ready. Despite it being busy- the lines goes really fast.
