we went there last thursday at noon. the place was not busy. i got the quail birds and my friend got the bbq meats. both of our dishes are not up to the expectations. my plate was sooo small and i asked them if they could swap it for another one. they are like NO. really? you just took this out of the oven just now! i left hungry. the ambiance is fast food type not the rustic bbq vide. two stars and not going there read more

Second time eating here. Casual ambience. Order at the counter then pick it up when its done. I ordered the 1/3 pound brisket with 2 sides (potato salad and barbecue beans). Service was quick and cordial. I am not a brisket expert. I just look for tender pot roast taste and texture with a gentle smokiness. It fell apart as I ate it. Since I prefer lean, mine wasn't really juicy - I got it just the way I like it. The barbecue beans and potato salad were both good, just the way I like it. Now, back to some more eating. read more

One of the few halal Texan BBQ spots in the area. We did takeout, so not sure about the service. Did the medium family order: 4 pounds of meat, 3 large sides. We tried brisket, beef ribs, and beef sausage. Sides were potato salad, creamed corn, and mac and cheese. Came with complimentary bread, pickles, and onions. The price was a hefty $140, but between 6 people, it came to about $23 per person, so I think that's pretty fair for Texan BBQ. Of the 3 meats, beef sausage was my fav, it had jalapenos in it and had quite the kick! The beef ribs, while not winning any awards, were good as well. My only criticism is that it amounted to 3 beef ribs, so we had to split each rib between 2 people. The brisket was supposed to be a mix of moist and lean with some burnt ends, but it leaned mostly lean. I would've liked more of the juicy cuts, and I didn't see any real burnt ends. It was decent, but I've had better. For my fam who only eats halal meat and hasn't had other Texan BBQ, they loved each and every piece of meat, so overall it was a great success. Everything was seasoned really well, and nothing was dried out. The sides were all really impressive. Everyone loved the creamed corn and potato salad. The mac and cheese here was better than at some other, more well known BBQ joints in the Austin area. I wish I'd read some of these reviews prior to ordering, I would have tried some of the lamb items that seem to have some fans. That'll be for next time. Even if you're not looking specifically for halal options, I think it holds its own among other BBQ joints in the greater Austin area in this tier. read more

I was craving BBQ, but was my craving get fulfilled? The service was friendly and there was a bit of a line. However my wait was not very long. There is no waitress, you order at the counter. Even though I didn't get the quail, I'm glad they had it on the menu. I got the brisket with green beans and BBQ beans. My sides were okay. The sides needed more love. The brisket was good, but I wish it was a little more juicy. Overall the flavor was fine . I can see myself coming back for the quail. read more

This barbecue restaurant sits in a short strip center which includes a nail salon, liquor store, bake shop, and physical therapy. I was going to get the barbecue trifecta, but they do not serve St. Louis or baby back ribs. As many yelpers have pointed out, this is Halal, so no pork ribs. I got here on a Sunday around one, and there was only 4 people total in the restaurant, which means you probably never have to worry about standing in a line out the door baking in the sun like some places. The good: The brisket had a good smoke ring with a crust and was done right. The sliced turkey was very tender with just the right amount of seasoning. I like the fact that everything was wrapped separately with the pickles, onions, bread and barbecue sauce included. However, I did not get any utensils or napkins. The"OK": I got the half chicken and at first glance, it was so small I thought they gave me a quarter of chicken. At least this small bird was fairly tender, somewhat moist and well smoked. Nonetheless, it was still kind of disappointing. The sausage was firm, yet dryish with a nice jalapeño spiciness, but it was the size of a long hotdog. The only real turn off was their overly sweet pudding-like barbecue sauce. Overall what I purchased sits around the 3 1/2 to 4 star range, but they lose a half a star for their sauce. And finally, yes, the tip screen will be waiting for you. I didn't bother with any of their sides. I'll let everyone else talk about those. It's the meat that gets you through the door, not the sides. I hear their beef ribs are good. You can bring your own beer (BYOB approved) and wine here since they don't sell it. They do have water and soft drinks. It's a place I would try again. Check out the informative photos below. 31/2* read more

Great environment and very hospitable crew, I got the 1/4 Brisket Sandwich, Cream Corn and drink for 2. The brisket was tender and flavorful, perfectly complemented by the sweet and smoky notes of the barbecue sauce. The cream corn was a delightful side, rich and creamy, adding a comforting touch to the meal. As I enjoyed my food, the staff frequently checked in to ensure everything was to my liking, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a satisfying meal that left me eager to return and try more of their delicious offerings. read more

Have you eaten bbq that is so great that you forget to take pictures of the food before you eat it. This happened to me today!? I went to the Gold's gym holiday party where Alzer's was served (brisket, sausage and turkey with green beans, Mac and cheese, beans, potato salad, and cream corn). All the bbq was flavorful and super moist. I'm a devout non-beef eater! The brisket was visually appealing so, I got lured into trying it. OMG it was good, I had seconds! The turkey was a convergence of moist and flavorful. The sausage was just ok. Note, to the sides - cream corn (buttery sweet), Mac n cheese (soft and oooy gooey God), beans (sweet and tangy) potato salad (real potatoe creamy explosion) & green beans (crunchy). Since I was at a holiday party no service was rendered. The price was great...free!! We ate at the gum so only sweat vibes. I definitely try Alzer's on another occasion. read more

Ordered pickup from Alzer's for a work lunch the day after the ice even recently. They were out of a couple of things and called me right after I placed the order online and were able to make substitutions to make it work. Very good barbecue, excellent customer service and communication. Highly recommended and will be back regularly. Great job!!! read more

I wish I could give this place more stars, this bbq is THE BEST hands down everything is always so tender and juicy. Ive probably been here about 20 times and they're always consistent. Service is always great, it's always clean inside. I've moved away from here about 2 years ago and I still think about this restaurant all the time. Wish I still lived close by. I would recommend the brisket, and the turkey! The turkey tastes so different from any other turkey I've had it's so good!!! Give this place a try, I think it's the best bbq in Texas. read more

If you have not tried this barbecue place you are missing out! It is a MUST GO to try their brisket, beef ribs and most of all if you are a lamb lover, they're lamb chops are absolutely amazing! The family that owns and runs it are wonderful! I highly recommend it! Go try it! read more

My husband and I enjoyed lunch here. He had the half rack of lamb and creamed corn. I had 1/3 brisket plate and Mac and cheese. I like my brisket moist and I was not disappointed! My husband never had lamb before and he said the smoked flavor was excellent. The creamed corn was good with enough seasoning to make it different from other creamed corn. The Mac and cheese was velvety smooth. The pickles on the side gave a nice crunch and a little sharpness that enhanced the meal. read more

It appears you don't need to have a Michelin star to make great BBQ. Alzer's brisket is extremely tender and juicy! Their beans are not the typical beans many restaurants serve; not overly spicy, but full of flavor. The service is prompt and friendly. Definitely on my list for BBQ! read more

Alzer's BBQ - Brisket/Turkey Sandwich with potato salad Turkey/Sausage sandwich with beans & mac&cheese! - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

First time trying this place since we were just visiting Austin. Tried a bunch of things on the menu including the ribs, quail, rack of lamb. corn, green beans and potatoes. Pretty much everything was delicious especially the green beans! There was like some kind of lemon flavor to it which really made a difference to boring old green beans. I wasn't too impressed with the quail as I felt it was a little over-done but everything else was oh so satisfying. Will definitely be back! Maybe next time I'll try the chicken. Oh and the place is fully halal too, owners are Jordanian. Great service and very friendly folks who really care about making sure their customers are happy. I always like to support local businesses! read more

Wow! We were hosting a party for extended family at our home and placed an order for pick-up--brisket, turkey, lamb sausage with sides of potato salad, cole slaw, Mac & cheese, pickles and onions. After placing the order online, Omar called to verify everything. All was ready at our chosen pick-up time. Entertainng made easy. And the food--delicious. Turkey was moist, brisket perfectly cooked and the lamb sausage had just the right amount of spice. Deli style potato salad was excellent. I added my own touch with sliced tomatoes, fresh fruit, corn bread and spicy Moroccan mustard from International Foods next door. i highly recommend Alzer's not just for a party but any time you want the best BBQ around. read more

Love this halal bbq place. Every time I come to Austin this is a must for me. Tried 2lbs of brisket... 2lbs of beef ribs -meaty & not fatty. 2lbs of lamb chops-medium well 1/2 lb of jalapeño beef sausage 1/2 lb of jalapeño lamb sausage 1 whole chicken cooked well 1 order of quail. read more

Another great experience eating Alzer's BBQ. This time we placed a pick up order online. It was very easy even though the menu is pretty extensive. I love the way they have packages of meats and sides. You can order and feed a small family or a larger group. Their level of customer service also has captured my attention when you are in the restaurant eating and you need to take some thing home to finish or as in our case this evening, you order a complete meal to go --the way they package it is above and beyond. They not only use containers for the sides, but they over wrapped them with saran wrap to ensure there is no leakage. I truly appreciate this -as I can't really say how many times we've picked up a go order at restaurants in general where something has leaked out by the time we've gotten home. We always order a variety of meat here because it's so tender and delicious. Tonight we had beef, ribs, beef, brisket, and lamb sausage. I will say that without a doubt it was the most tender brisket I've ever eaten.....EVER! I really enjoyed the lamb sausage as it's quite unique and has what I consider a bit of a lame aftertaste, which I enjoyed. My husband loves their beef ribs. We ordered green beans, potato salad, and cream corner as our sides. They are all prepared very nicely in our everything inside should be to their amazing meat . We've always had positive interactions with their team. It's not a long drive from Leander to Cedar Park but we both agree that we would drive even further to enjoy this barbecue, so we're quite happy to have it close by. As you enter Cedar Park on 183 from the south just turn left on Cypress Creek Rd and you can't miss it. We've never had a problem with the parking either. There is a shared designated parking lot for that little strip mall. We encourage you to give it a try!! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in to grab some BBQ to go. We got sausage, brisket, and potato salad. The bbq was delicious and tender. Melt in your mouth delicious! The waiter at the counter was friendly and offered pickles and onions. We took our order to go but will eat in next time because we liked the seating there and the two big screen tvs in the dining area. The restaurant was clean and neat. Great place for family dining. read more

Stopped in this evening around 5:00p for takeout. Ordered brisket with beans and mac & cheese. I'm one of those people who loves bbq but also appreciates good side dishes. I'm looking forward to all of it but I open the bag and there's no mac & cheese. So disappointing. Nope, I'm not going back and that's a loss for both of us because the brisket was awesome. Regretting that $2 to go tip. read more

Family owned, great customer service. Not too busy. We saw a lot of people get take out. Good brisket, and they have quail on the menu! Sausage was ok. For us, the best part was the turkey! So good. And the sides were slightly cold but very good- we tried the Mac and Cheese, slaw, and corn. Our favorite was the corn read more

One of my favorite BBQ spots! No offense to other places, but I am not one for waiting 2 hours in line for Q. There are incredible bbq spots in Austin without a ridiculous line and Alzer's is one of them! I ordered a half rack of lamb and a beef rib which were both amazing. Alzer's is perfected, textbook execution in both the cook and prep of their meats - which results in fall off the bone meat that's tender but not mushy, and wonderful flavors coming through in the form of a clean smoke and a peppery bark. You almost get a perfect bite every time. Sauce was pretty much optional at this point (I personally enjoy letting the meat speak for itself with minimal sauce). Alzer's is definitely a gem that's hidden away from the tourist traps, a great place to have some top notch BBQ without the drama. read more

We liked this place and it's about what you'd expect. Staff is friendly, everything is good and prices are reasonable. There is lots of competition in this area, but I would say as far a strictly BBQ quality, this place is one of the best.
