When we visited, there was some sort of local charity meeting happening, making the restaurant feel quite crowded, but only about four tables were occupied by diners while around twenty people were attending the meeting. The dining area has a distinctly Texan vibe, decorated with plenty of cowboy and Southwestern elements. There’s even a shrine-like display of John Wayne photos, complete with hot sauce hangers and other memorabilia. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Pricing was reasonable—my meal, along with my wife’s burger and three drinks, totaled under $45. I would definitely return if I’m in the area again.

Food was edible but it was the worst brisket I've had in Austin so far. Brisket had very little flavor and an odd texture. Chicken servings were tiny and mostly bone. The pork ribs were the best things we ordered but even they were only average and a Texas bbq place that can't do beef right isn't worth a second visit.

This place is a fantastic family-run restaurant, and I'm really glad they're still in business.

I was a bit surprised by the prices, especially $3.25 for a large sweet tea, which feels a bit steep. Still, I'd much rather dine here than at any other BBQ joint in Austin!

The sausage in my sausage wrap was quite dry, but I did enjoy the brisket sandwich and the small potato salad. The bottle of root beer was nice as well.

However, given the overall experience, I'm not sure if I would return for the $20 price.
