Finally tried Blacks BBQ and here is the honest take. The sides were low key the stars of the plate. The mac and cheese was creamy, warm, and actually seasoned, and the green beans had real flavor instead of tasting like they came straight from a can. After that, the sliced turkey surprised me in a good way. It was juicy, tender, and probably the most balanced meat I tried.
The brisket was just okay. It was not bad, but it also was not the life changing Texas barbecue moment people hype up. It felt a little average, maybe because I stopped by on a Monday evening and not during peak hours. Still decent, just nothing I would go out of my way for.
The sausage was easily my least favorite. It looked shriveled, tasted dry, and did not have the snap or juiciness you expect from good barbecue sausage, so that was a miss for me.
Parking was manageable since I found a spot across the street, but I can see it becoming a headache when the place is busy. The staff was friendly and gave helpful recommendations, which I appreciated as a first timer. Seating inside is limited, but there is a patio for extra space. Overall vibe was calm and not crowded on a Monday night. I would come back for the sides and turkey, but probably skip the sausage and hope the brisket hits better on a weekend visit.

Amazing barbecue with fantastic sides and dessert. The fatty brisket had amazing texture and flavor. The Mac n cheese was just fantastic. The peach cobbler was such a satisfying way to end the meal. The ribs were tender and flavorful. The beef rib was incredible. Also, way less touristy, so not too much of a line. All in all, highly recommended barbecue.

It just wasn’t the food experience we expected from the hype and history. The place and people were really nice and clean. There just wasn’t smoke flavor on the meats. The ribs had zero bark, but were the “best” meat we tried. We had to use a knife on the brisket and I’m pretty sure they forgot to season it, especially salt. The sausage was juicy, but very crumbly. The sides were good and honestly, the mac n cheese had more smoke flavor than the meats . $55 later, it’s not for us, but we tried it.

We have eaten here several times and do enjoy the food but this time was not as enjoyable.
Being upfront: i do not mind if wmplyees use their phones when a place is slow and everything else is done.
Rhat being siad. It was slow and thw employees were so engrossed in whatever was on their phone that it impacted the level of customer service given. They were also less than courteous from the beginning and acted like they would rather be anywhere else. We felt like we were an imposition.
Also, we asked for lean meat. The Pic will show what we got. I questioned the cut and was told that it is lean. I have never had this issue before here or anywhere.
We will return in future wuth the hope that this was a random bad day but if it becomes their norm then they end up on our list of places we dont spend money at.

Delicious! Great location. I have only ever been to the original Black’s in Lockhart so this location is a dream come true having it in Austin! Amazing, delicious tasty brisket. The chopped brisket is my favorite be it has the BBQ sauce already in it. You can always top your sandwich with onions and more sauce like I do. Tried the garlic green beans and they were absolutely wonderful! Didn’t taste healthy at all 😉 great atmosphere love this place! The Mac-n-cheese was really good too. My sister and I shared our sides and it was plenty of good! Employees were friendly and patient and kind. Good vibes to hear Johnny Cash on the speakers. Fun location near campus as well. Thank you for delicious food and lasting good memories!

Great BBQ – busy but with plenty of seating. The brisket was sooo tender and the pork ribs fell off the bone! Mac n cheese was nice and creamy. Tasty beans. Also nice to have some healthy green beans to offset the fast food lifestyle

I ate the brisket, macaroni & cheese, peach cobbler and one beef rib. The food was delicious. The customer service was very melancholy and uninviting. This was different because their location in Austin, closer to downtown, has a lively, energetic and welcoming feel to it. I enjoyed the food but would opt for the other location simply for the vibe.

Brisket was amazing, and they pile a bunch on the sliced sandwich. If your visiting Austin its a must try. I’m glad I dont live there because I’d be in a constant food coma . Can’t wait to go back.

Black’s BBQ Austin is the perfect comfort food spot! The location is great with plenty of seating and such a homey vibe. So many delicious options for the whole family — and don’t skip the desserts! I love that they also sell their own hot sauce and merch — total bonus!
