This place is fantastic! The bratwurst was perfect, and the kids loved the turkey. My husband said it was the best brisket he's ever had. The gumbo was my favorite! We will definitely be regulars here! The drinks were excellent as well. The restaurant is beautifully designed and would be a great venue for an event in their "back room." The bar is lovely—it's somewhere I could definitely spend a lot of time! View all feedback.
What Anonym dislikes about The Switch:
The brisket and beef ribs were on point as usual. The only thing I wished they had was more green options for sides. Was a little disappointed they didn't have the same side items as the other location. View all feedback.

November 2023: I ordered the Smoked Bone-In Ham for Thanksgiving Day and since we was there to pick it up decided to order and enjoy a nice lunch. I had planned ordering turkey (for thanksgiving) but their Tuesday special was Fried Chicken with Mashed Potatoes. I could not resist and ordered it. The staff was super nice and friendly. The plate consisted of two pieces of chicken, mashed potatoes, biscuit, side of raspberry sauce, and side of gravy. The chicken was soft on the inside with a sup
I wish BBQ wasn’t so expensive, but I understand why it is. Switch cooks some great BBQ. The Diablo Sandwhich is excellent with a “Docta Peppa” if you’re in a hurry.
Had the brisket, Turkey, sausage and wings with corn casserole Brussels sprouts fries and Mac and cheese. All the sides were very good and the Turkey and sausage were also great. The brisket was pretty good, although a bit dry. Overall a good experience and looking forward to going back.
The Switch is a Bel Terra staple. While you can drive 25 minutes into Austin for dynamite BBQ, that 's not what this place is about. They server consistently good BBQ (not great, but good), and have a great little bar scene. I 'm a bit sad as Janea 's not there as frequently now, as she is a critical component to how awesome the service and atmosphere are here. It 's definitely priced like it 's great BBQ, as are most things in the area. But really it 's the drinks, atmosphere, Janea, and that Dirty
Phenomenal BBQ. At this point I’ve tried all the meats and most sides. These guys are creative and consistent. Every single thing I’ve tried has been top notch and my favorite thing to do is try different bbq joints. My wife loves it too and that’s saying something! We just finished up the Sunday brunch after church and it’s so unique and delicious. Really appreciate all the hard work that goes into this quality and fresh food in Dripping Springs.

That was the best barbecue I've ever had! I've tried brisket in Curly, Austin, San Antonio, and Luling, but the brisket here was exceptional! We even got a tour of the smoker! Thank you, The Switch!
Absolutely loved everything about the switch! the food, the drinks, the atmosphere and the friendly staff were at the top! we tried various items from the brunch menu, had some drinks from the bar and dessert....all amazing! I cannot wait to go back and try some of the cajun evening options!
Took the family to The Switch it did NOT disappoint! Not only is the decor ambiance great, the servers are very friendly the food is AMAZING! My favorite was the gumbo! Of course my daughters favorite was the old fashioned big red float with pop rocks on top! Great food fun for the entire family!
We went to the new location in Dripping Springs and Absolutely loved it! We tried a little bit of everything and it was all amazing! The brisket was wonderful, the sausage was great and the ribs were tremendous! All the sides complimented everything perfectly! The full bar is a nice feature and my cocktail was very yummy! We will absolutely be back and we will be bringing friends!
