Market Smoke

Located toward the back of the huge Whole Foods Market. Got the Brisket and spicy kielbasa. Both were a bit overpriced and the quality was just ok. The brisket was a little on the dry side, so we were glad to have barbecue sauce. Since it is a kiosk in the Whole Foods Market I didn't have high expectations.

Delicious BBQ Better tasting than the more famous Austin joints. Since it's Whole Foods, the meat is ultra high quality - no hormones or antibiotics, etc, and you can get a beer with the food.

Whole Foods BBQ is consistently outstanding. Perhaps not as good as Franklin's, La BBQ, Styles Switch, Coopers, etc.; however, the consistency is amazing. It doesn't seem right that Whole Foods should have some of the best BBQ in town, but it does. It's kind of like BMW pumping exhaust tones through their speakers - you don't want to like it but you do. Brisket, beef and pork ribs, pulled pork, sausage...all of it is good. The best part is the people though - they are some of the friendliest folks in town. They all have an inspiring passion for their job. If you're complaining about the prices, you're probably out of touch with reality. Anything in west Texas is going to be significantly less expensive than Austin.

11:30 on Saturday they have one guy working the line. Sloooooooooow. Really poor decision on staffing. More than twelve people waiting in line! Sad!

OK it's better than most Austin BBQ places like the other review said I will admit. But 13 dollars for a brisket plate and two sides? In West Texas that's a $7 plate. Everything in Austin is overpriced, you guys are getting ripped off! Warning: taste the BBQ sauce before you commit.The pic I'm posting had two lemonade for $33... Holy...
