I tried the brisket burrito with rice and it was pretty good overall, with a nice kick of spice that really adds flavor without being overpowering. The brisket was well-cooked and paired nicely with the rice inside the burrito. The tortilla chips were really good too—fresh, crispy, and a great side to the meal. Overall, it’s a nice barbecue restaurant in Dripping Springs, Texas, with good food and a solid atmosphere. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area and craving barbecue.

My boyfriend brought me food from here, and it was hands down the best barbecue I’ve ever had. The mac & cheese is so delicious that I came back just for that.

The customer service was amazing too—the guy at the register was incredibly sweet and gave great recommendations. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving barbecue. Everything was absolutely delicious. Thank you!

Wow this place is amazing! I knew it’d be good when I saw the sign that is super aesthetically on point for how I like my barbecue places to be. I also loved walking up and seeing metal rustic walls and a huge pile of wood. They cook it up here super classic yumminess you look for with the pork ribs and a creative twist w their baked potato salad. Yes baked. Boom! They are also super nice!

We stopped here for lunch on our way home from a vacation in Fredericksburg. The brisket sandwiches, potato salad, fries, and beans were all delicious! We had our pup with us and the outdoor eating area is spacious with many shady spots under big shade trees and also a covered patio. The staff was so friendly and even brought out a bucket of ice water for our pup! Oh and don’t miss the banana pudding! Delicious! We look forward to coming back in the future!

I had the pleasure of being served by Sam at the bar, and I was truly impressed with her professionalism. She has excellent knowledge of wine and gave me a fantastic recommendation that paired perfectly with my meal. It was clear that she not only knows the selection but also understands flavors and pairings on a deeper level. Her suggestion made my evening really special.

The food was also outstanding the ribs were juicy and flavorful, and the side dish was simply delicious. The combination of atmosphere, service, and food created an unforgettable experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to my friends!

Thanks you Sam !!!

I’ve been here a few times as a local and this seems to have the same issues with every visit. To start, the food is re-heated. The brisket and pulled pork taste like leftovers from the fridge. Sides are better than the meat for sure. Service is sloppy, they hand me an order that isn’t mine or correct. The tea is super foggy and old, pretty consistent. You’d think with the prices you pay, you would have the equivalent to blacks bbq. Just seems like premium prices for low quality. Not to be rude, but it seems like a money grab to me. On a side note, I got a McDonalds butter with my bread; nice touch.

I don’t say this lightly: Pigpen BBQ in Dripping Springs is hands down the best barbecue I’ve had in Central Texas—and that includes the heavy hitters like Terry Black’s, Franklin’s, and La Barbecue. I grew up on barbecue, so I’ve had my fair share over the years. I can’t say it beats my grandma’s—because if I did, I might get disowned—but it’s honestly the best I’ve had in a very, very, very long time.

The brisket? Ridiculously flavorful. Melt-in-your-mouth, bark-for-days, perfectly smoked magic. I still can’t stop thinking about it. We also got the chance to meet the owner and the GM of one of their upcoming locations, and they were genuinely kind, welcoming people.

The whole experience was just amazing. Great food, great people, and great vibes. I can’t say enough good things about Pigpen. If you haven’t been yet, go now. Just don’t tell my grandma.

Absolutely beautiful restaurant! It’s so inviting and let me tell you, the food is so good! Some bus drivers and I stopped by because we had a fieldtrip that was close and it went over so well with everyone. Three very diverse palates, but everyone enjoyed everything! Between us, we had brisket, pork ribs, creamed corn, beans, and the baked potato salad… everything delicious and just enough to satisfy three hungry drivers!

Jalapeno sausage was excellent! Brisket was tender! Cold Miller was on point after a hike at Pedernales Falls State Park. What more could you ask for?

I decided to check these guys out on a TooGoodToGo trip. You never know what exactly you are getting when you choose them on the app. I had always wanted to try this place, so I pulled th trigger. I was unaware that it was “Founders Day” when I popped in. The place had a few family in there. I go to tell them I am here to pick up a “TooGoodToGo” order. The woman working the register disappears to get it ready. To the young kid working the register, I would avoid drinking at the register and sitting there like you are bored to tears. That is not very professional looking. I get there it was quiet and there was really nothing to do. I really wish I had studied the menu before coming in, as I wish I would have opted to order more food. You can smell the smoke from the BBQ as you are in the restaurant. I ended up getting 3 sausage links, which were fantastic. I got corn and this warm loaded potato salad that was also very amazing. I will say props to how they give you BBQ sauce. It is in a vacuum sealed bag. Usually, it is in a little container that gets knocked over and spills all over the place. I am glad to see they have moved to the vacuum sealed BBQ “pillow”.

Overall, I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. A good judge of a BBQ joint is their brisket. I will be back perhaps during a time that is not chaotic with the festival going on. I wish I would have learned about this place much sooner, this will definitely be a stop when I head out to Dripping Springs.
