Reviews for Terry Black's Barbecue in Austin, TX
Best barbecue experience in downtown Austin. It is high quality meats and sides at a reasonable price and quick service times. I... went on a Sunday midday, and it only took about 15 minutes to get the food! Sides are excellent, especially the cream corn, andthe ribs and brisket are great. Lots of seating, would highly recommend dining in. Read more
Best BBQ I?ve ever had, period. We were fortunate to get there when the line was relatively short on the Monday following... Formula 1 weekend at about 11:30. Staff kept the line moving and we grabbed a few nice helpings of sides, brisket and pork ribs.The food was so good, pork fell off the bone and the brisket could be pulled about with your fork, Mac and cheese and potatosalad were also outstanding. Really cool place to eat in general with great seating both indoors and outdoors. Next to therestaurant hey have the outdoor smoke pit visible for your viewing delight. Happy we stopped by this time and looking forward togoing back. Last picture is the line that formed at about 12:30 during the lunch hour, mix of Formula 1 fans and locals thatextended around the BBQ pits and out to the street, get their early! Read more
On vacation and this BBQ place came highly recommended. I'm very happy I went because this had to be some of the best BBQ I... have ever had. They were very friendly and helpful, provided me with suggestions and guidance on what I should try and how toorder. I have never had sweet tea and it was great. I had the sausage, pork ribs, brisket, corn bread and beans. Everything wasabsolutely delicious! My only complaint would be that the bbq sauce labels are not on the bottles, as someone who is colorblind I had to ask someone from another table for help as I was not able to match the card to the bottles. (Not a big dealthough) They provided me with a tour of the smokers and also explained how everything is cooked. I would strongly recommendthis place. Read more
This is a fun experience and probably my favorite meal of the whole trip. Take your time to really read through the menus and... signs in the restaurant before you go up to order. The price is determined by the weight of the meat. You start by picking upyour sites first and these are a flat rate based on size pint quart etc. I recommend not skipping the macaroni it was excellent.We started with a brisket and I added a jalapeno cheddar sausage and was not disappointed. My colleague had the rib it wasmassive but so good. We all upgraded our sides to a quart and we're able to share the sides with each other that would be onerecommendation. Read more
We were recommended Terry Blacks BBQ for our visit to Austin and it did not disappoint! When we went, it was a relatively early... weekday dinner so the line wasn?t too long, though my cousin said at its peak the line extends out the door. We ordered sidesfirst and then proceeded to the meats, which are sold by the pound. Indoor seating was filled so we headed outdoors and it waspretty comfortable despite the summer heat. The brisket and beef ribs were very tender, seasoned well with a rich, heartyflavor. Sausage was flavorful as well. As for sides, the mac and cheese tasted good. Cornbread was alright, didn?t stand out.Bread and pickles came complimentary with the meal, and the staff was very generous with getting them for us. The bread wasespecially essential, as the food?especially the green beans and meats?could taste a bit too salty by themselves. Overall, theprice was on the higher side, but nonetheless worth the experience. Read more
Super solid BBQ experience! We came on a Friday morning and got in at 11ish without too much of a line and got our food super... quick. Good: Fun experience going through the ordering and so much food! Portions are huge for the price you pay. We got 1 lbsof both the pork ribs and the brisket - I liked the pork ribs more since they had a lot of flavor but also both were good andthey even give you complimentary bread to soak up some of the flavor. I also really liked the side dishes - my fave wereprobably the creamed corn and the mac and cheese - just overall already so solid dishes. The cornbread muffin was good too, butit crumbled super easily so it was hard to eat. The seating area is huge so no problem in finding a place to sit. The staff wasalso really nice. Bad: Just really noisy place so you can't hear people too well over all the chatter. Overall super fun placeand will definitely come back! Loved how much the experience was made efficient and the lines went by so quick. Read more
Lived up to all the hype!! Expect a line, but it moves quickly and is definitely worth the wait. Once inside, you move through... the line cafeteria style. First you order your sides, then you will order your meats and drinks. Everything we ordered wasdelicious but our favorites were the brisket and the beef rib. I have never had BBQ so tender it will melt in your mouth. Itisn't cheap but it is worth the cost. My husband wants to fly back to Texas just to eat at Terry Black's again it was thatgood!! Read more
Amazing BBQ and sides. Only disappointing part was not having enough appetite to try everything. The macaroni and cheese was... amazing. Beef rib amazing. Brisket amazing. Banana pudding amazing. Sausage amazing. All the other meat looked great too and wewill have to get back here again soon to try it all. It?s a busy place but very well organized and moves fast. Read more
