Interstellar BBQ

The greatest BBQ in ALL of Texas. You can’t go wrong with any dish, side, desert, or drink you order! We are talking authentic Texas BBQ with the most amazing twists on the sides. This and snows are all that matter! Personally talked with chef John Bates today while eating. Dude went out his way to check on the folks in his spot, turned out to be a nice chat about the heritage of Texas bbq, innovation and fun while keeping it REAL! Man, John if you see this, much love brother! -Alex

First time visiting Austin, stopped in for lunch. Hour wait in line when they opened, but the food I worth the wait, everything we ordered was amazingly good.

It is an excellent BBQ place, but is not worth the hype. I arrived at 1130 and did not get to order until 1345 and we were told that people were waiting at the door since 0900. Waiting 2 hours for this BBQ is not worth it. If you can get here when there is a short line then you should go but if that is not the case then I recommend you go somewhere else. Also parking can be hard to find. Besides that everything on the menu was delicious except the sausage, that is the one thing I do not recommend.

Long lines. Place order ahead of time.

Long wait but WORTH IT. Arrived at 11:30 AM on a Friday & didn’t get to the counter to order until 1 PM. I’d advise you to get there at 11 AM because by 1:40 PM they started running out of their top items like brisket & scalloped potatoes. We got the absolute last serving of brisket at 1:30 PM & there would be little sense of waiting in line with most of the menu sold out. Vegetarian sides are fantastic including the zucchini salad and mac & cheese. Pro tip: the Slackers brewery in the same retail complex sells beers & wine to go which is a nice way to pass the wait time. Vegetarian options: Zucchini and Mac and Cheese were both outstanding Parking: Free parking lot in the broader retail shopping Kid-friendliness: Have high chairs available for kids
