House Park Bar-B-Que is a holdout from the era of when Austin was a smaller city, more closely related to its small town... counterparts. Stepping through the door you're immediately reminded that this is a no-frills BBQ joint, that smokes their foodon-site. The walls are covered with clippings and posters of days past The person at the counter greeted us with a friendly,"Hello, what will you have today?" I ordered the half chicken plate with sides of potato salad and beans. I was glad to see thechicken wasn't of the now-too-common ginormous, tough and stringy variety, but rather of the size I would smoke at home (youngmedium-sized and tender). They use oak for their smoking and the chicken was lightly seasoned with the smoke providing themajority of the delicious flavor. The mustard potato salad was decent as were the beans. Onions and sliced bread wereself-service, the sauce was thin and not overpowering. The pricing is fair, about $12.50 including a fountain drink or icedtea. They offer RC on the fountain and related drinks. If you go, spend the time to read the items on the walls and soak in thehistory while enjoying the food. Read more
It's hard to square all of the great reviews this place gets with lunch today. I ordered the sliced brisket plate. The brisket... was sliced with the grain, and was chewy and tough. It has a decent flavor, but little to no bark. The beans were tasty, thepotato salad was a mess, and the coleslaw was watery. Read more
I?ve been skeptical of going to a restaurant with a cheeky slogan of ?don?t need no teef to eat my beef.? I only came here after... one of the folks from LaBarbeque recommended it. If an authentic BBQ place needs to a bit rundown, the interior fits the bill. Iwas offered brisket and half chopped beef sandwich since I was undecided. Foolishly, I took a knife for the brisket. It would beimpossible to find a more tender cut of brisket, and the chopped beef has an equally lovely flavor. Despite the owner needing anew rhyming dictionary, I?ll be taking a lot more walks along Shoal Creek around lunchtime, and I can leave my dentures at home. Read more

Does House Park Bar-B-Que offer delivery?
Yes, House Park Bar-B-Que offers delivery.
Let me tell you the number one reason I love this place and REALLY hope they make it back from the fire. When I was in high... school, in the eighties, we would often go here for lunch. When we would get back to fifth period, people (the ones who knew)would ask, "you went to House Park didn't you?" That's because when you leave, you come away smelling like the barbecue pit -and that's a good thing in Texas. The barbecue is excellent as are all the fixings and sides. The decor, walls, photos,everything on the inside is coated with decades of soot - browned and leathered. It's such an experience. If you're not afraidof a little oak smoke while you order, you'll love it. If you're sensitive about that, they have tables outside too. Though notever one of the "trendy" barbecue joints in Austin, it's definitely one of the best and most iconic in my book. Read more
