Casual operation with a neighborhood vibe serving hearty, old-fashioned plates of meat.

The restaurant owner is super friendly and the food is delicious.
I love the roasted ribs which are perfectly cooked with tender meat and great flavor. My husband ordered 2meat combos. Wings and brisket both were good too. Will definitely come back to try other stuff.

We ran in close to closing. Everyone was so accommodating. They’re was live music in the back. The food was exceptional. The brisket was moist and perfectly cooked, the pork ribs tender, and the blueberry pie and peach cobbler- delicious!! Great gem of a place!

Totally different vibe from Black’s up the road, more relaxed and a heck of a lot less of the waiting in line part of the dining experience. The chopped beef sammich was good, plenty of meat on it. I’d recommend getting the spicy BBQ sauce, their regular sauce seems to be a ketchup and molasses based one. Not bad, I just like mine with more oomph, you know?

We had an awesome experience at Green Mesquite! The live music created such a fun, laid back vibe and the food was delicious. We shared a two meat plate and it was plenty for both of us. Great portions at a great price. Everything was flavorful and cooked just right. Definitely a must visit spot in Austin if you’re looking for good BBQ, good music and a relaxed atmosphere.

Great BBQ joint!!! Pork tbs and brisket very tender, chopped sandwich very good and greasy. French fries fresh. Really enjoy eating here over some of the larger establishments.
It’s an old school vibe, plenty of parking on site.

Finally made it here and sad that it took me so long bec it was some great home cookin’. Everything was just right, not over seasoned or overly fancy… just some great food. The chicken fried chicken, catfish platter and sides (green beans, mac n cheese, jambalaya and fried okra) were delicious. We arrived 30 mins before closing so we just sat inside. Place was clean and had a nice, cozy ambiance. Glad this place is still around and was saved some years ago from shutting down. Will return to try some actual bbq in the future.

Our server was SO very helpful! She’d been Lafayette, Louisiana where we are all from, however not now living. Everyone enjoyed their food. The hot peach cobbler was delicious. We love the fried okra. Our 14 year old liked the tomato based jambalaya.

Walk in the first time and be welcomed as an old friend. Whatever the special is that day, get it. It’s probably half of what you’d spend elsewhere and will make you just as happy. Then go take a nap.
Best wings in Austin (they really have that award!). Great location, friendly folks, delicious food.

I had to go to Austin for work and was craving for some Brisket. I found the Green Mesquite and I loved it!
The place was very nice and had that “ranch” atmosphere, and the food was fantastic. Anyone in Austin or planning to go there needs to try this place, it was fantastic!
