Popped in on a whim and WOWOWWW! We got a brisket sandwich and a pulled pork to share so we could try them both. Fries, O rings, and sausage cause we always have to try the sausage. Peach cobbler for the win. It was all so good. The employees were friendly like they owned the place. Bonus: the chairs at all the tables are FABULOUS! Brown leather, wide seats, firm and the right height. I'm so tired of squishy seats or hard wiry ones that cut into the back of my legs. read more

This was a tough choice between a 4* and 5* rating and would have been 4 1/2* if that was available. I'm going with 5 because of the items that could have been less that good (fatty brisket or skunky tea) were done well. We were here on a quiet Thursday night and both ordered the beef sandwich plate. Between us we had Cole slaw, okra and fries as sides and I'd rate: Cole slaw - Very good, slightly sweet with a very tiny kick. Fries - from a bag (probably) but cooked properly and crispy. Okra - same as any other restaurant that offers okra but properly cooked. Beef was tender and my sandwich had a mix of point and flat slices. I was happy to see that they did not default to chopped. Reasonable smoke ring and had fat sufficiently trimmed. BBQ sauce was provided warm and was quite good. Tea was good and fresh, a plus given we were close to closing on a weeknight. 1/3 of the floor space is dedicated to the bar area which lis a place I'd like to spend time at at some future point. Austin's rates a little lower than Cattleack (my favorite) but well above Dickies. Definately worth a try. read more

Prompt to go service. Food was good and fresh! The green beans are so good! And I just learned they have a live band on Saturdays. read more

Ordered though delivery service, gave all info on what I wanted, it was wrong. Called to complain they said they would call me back they did not, called again and the said it was the delivery service problem. No accountability. My first time ordering there will be my last read more

I came back here on a weeknight with my roommate to give them another go around. This time we ate there, it was dead on the dining side but the bar was pretty full. I do like how comfy the chairs are though. I got the 3 meat plate $25.00 with fatty brisket, pork ribs, jalapeno cheddar sausage and fried okra and mac and cheese for my 2 sides. The brisket was indeed semi fatty and very moist but just lacked flavor, no noticeable smoke ring but tender. I used their warm BBQ sauce to eat it, maybe their way for brisket is just not my jam. The pork ribs actually were not as good flavor wise as last time but still good. The meat came cleanly off the bone but still had a nice bite. The jalapeno cheddar sausage was basically perfect, nice noticeable cheese pockets with good spice from the jalapeno and no inedible casing this time. The mac and cheese is good but nothing special, still very creamy. The fried okra was legit, nice and crispy breading with a hint of salt, just delicious. Not the showstopper of BBQ places but very good and well priced for what you get. I just may need to stop trying their brisket though lol. read more

We do love coming to this restaurant for the great meat and desserts. However, getting up to the front door can be tricky, especially if you are new to this location. You can miss step and accidentally fall. See picture for reference. However, finally realized that this was an old garage and they can lift up the doors to enter another area in that restaurant, which was awesome Service is very quick and reliable and friendly staff every visit. It is also a very calming relaxing environment. read more

Saturday was our 1st and last visit. My husband and I both bought the sliced beef plate. Only 1/4 was edible the rest was just fat, and it was barely warm. I had a baked potato and a side of okra, my husband had the potato salad and beans. We both have been up all night sick. My brother also dined with us. He purchased a sliced beef and sausage plate.. his comment was that the food was cold and felt the potatoes salad and beans were just okay. Sorry .. after buy meds for our stomach our total is around 80.00. We will not be back. read more

I stopped at Austin's Bar B Que for the first time, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. I ordered the stuffed chopped brisket potato, but it was extremely dry and lacked any real flavor. It was so dull and overcooked that I ended up throwing half of it away. I was really disappointed, especially considering the money I spent on something that just wasn't good at all. Good barbecue should be tender, juicy, and full of flavor -- and this was the complete opposite. If you enjoy dry, dull, and overcooked meat, this might be your place. But if your taste buds are craving true barbecue, this is definitely not it. I will never be going back. read more

Had lunch here with some work chums. It's close to our office and we were looking for a new place. The BBQ was ok. Fries were average. Drinks were standard. Price was fair. Service was fast and the folks there were friendly. read more

This place has the best BBQ in DFW... They are consistent and never have an off day. Everything at this restaurant is so good. The food is fresh and seasoned to perfection. The establishment is very clean and has such a family-oriented environment. The cashiers have top notch customer service and are always so pleasant. The freaking collard greens are the bomb. They taste like a grandmother from the south cooked them lol. I wish they would sell them by the bucket . Great portions and great prices. Run and do not walk to this place. read more

I come here more than I'd like to admit, and not just out of convenience. I really love their Baked Potato, which I get fully loaded with either pulled pork or brisket. And they have one of the best cheeseburgers around. I've always had great customer service, whether I'm sitting in the dining section or the bar area. They have fun events and live music (worth giving a follow on social). But one of the most telling things, to me, is the regulars. In my opinion, a business with customers as frequent and loyal as I've seen has to be doing something right. Here, after a while, you get greeted by name, they remember your regular order, and give service with a friendly conversation. It's nice. Ask for their spicy habanero bbq sauce :) it's amazing with just the right amount of heat. The atmosphere is hometown casual, counter order for the dining area, but you can order at the bar, too, and I've always had excellent service. It's family-owned and operated and, selfishly, I'd like to see them in this location for a long, long time! read more

I think Austin's is great. The brisket is consistent. The fried okra is very good! The Mac n cheese is great! I've always ordered out so I can say much about ambiance. But I think bbq is a great value and pretty darn good! read more

Some of the best bbq in Dallas. Love this hidden gem so I had to give a review. I feel like most ppl don't know about this spot but it deserves the recognition. Bbq is always delicious and fresh as well as the sides and desserts. The bbq baked potato is soooo good. I love that I live so close, I frequent this place often, and it smells so good as soon as you get in the parking lot! Give this place a try, you won't regret it! read more

Very disappointing. When they first open was the last time I was here and it was good. This time it was not good sadly. This is not a Hutchins, Terry Black, or any of the top BBQ joints in Texas for sure. The brisket was very dry as if it had been held for much longer than it should have been just drying out. The smoked meatloaf was also dry. It had a good smoke flavor but was dry as well. The ribs were the worst. The bark was good but they smelled like rotten pork and did not smell good at all. I chose not to eat them out of fear it would be an issue. The banana pudding is not the banana pudding you expect from a BBQ joint. There were 3 wafers on top of the pudding with no bananas in it. The baked potato was the best thing on the plate. I should have known you get what you pay for when a 3 meat plate was only $21 its not going to be good. They are working on quantity not quality. read more

Kind of a weird little bbq spot in Addison. I had the brisket, jalapeño cheese sausage and smoked meatloaf with fried okra and collard greens. The okra and greens were outstanding. The sausage is good but more cheese than jalapeño. Meatloaf was interesting and good. The brisket was fine. It is a little weird to order food on one side but then to go to the bar to order a beer. It has that nice smoky dive bar atmosphere that is usually found in small town Texas (not the DFW Metroplex). Overall it was enjoyable. read more

Excellent BBQ!!! Will definitely order again. Best coleslaw ever! Can't say enough good about them.

Don't try it. Street tacos tortilla appears to be soggy buy ingredients (Pico, cheese, & brisket) DRY as heck. Brisket is flavorless & dry. Turkey is tough, flavorless, & dry. Okra cooked to bare minimum. Jalapeño pinto beans spicy with no flavor. I've never been more baffled at how the aroma in the place could smell so good but the food have absolutely no seasoning. The staff is pleasant and patient though. read more

The chopped brisket was pretty good. The fries and fried ok were pretty good as well. Was it a bit overpriced for what you get - yes. Was I really annoyed they charged me a surcharge to use a cc without disclosing (at least that I saw) it ahead of time so I could have chose to use my cash instead? Absolutely. Will I be back... maybe. But I will use cash. read more

Walking in the smell of the pit hits you. Brisket was well trimmed, moist and tasty. Sides are definitely small. No pickle relish on the condiments table. Potato salad has way too much mayo. It's the predominant taste. Cole slaw the same and very bland. Overpriced by about $5. I'll stick with Soul Man and Marshalls. read more

We came here as a party of 16, and there was more than enough space to accommodate us! BBQ here can be ordered by the pound or in set plates. We were recommended to get 4 family plates (2 pounds + 2-3 sides, each, depending on plate), but I didn't think it would be enough, and we did end up ordering an additional 2 pounds of brisket. Luckily, since we ordered all the family plates we got to try every single side, which was great! The meats had really great feedback from the table, most of which were from out of town, so this was their first Texas BBQ experience. read more

picked up a sliced brisket plate & a brisket/ rib plate. Meats were very dried out & cole slaw was super bitter. Sauce & beans were okay. Very disappointing for $50. read more

The food is great. I paid cash for a beer, $6.50, and gave the bar tender $20, I asked for $12 change. The bar tender gave me $10 change. She short changed me. read more

Food was decent at best but not for the price. Spent $26.89 for the 3 meat plate and a small drink, I was astonished at how sad the serving sizes are. It came with 2 ribs with a small amount of meat, the brisket slices were tiny, about the length of a salt shaker. Not to mention I asked for all moist but got 1 moist piece and 2 lean pieces instead which were really dry. I never leave reviews but what I got compared to what I paid is almost insulting. read more

A good friend of mine tragically and suddenly died recently. Her favorite place use to be in this same location when it was called Outer Marker. One of us reached out to management to reserve the space for a wake. Management was aghast at the request, responding with complete disregard and rudeness. I would highly recommend that you do not support this heartless business. See the attached image showing how management laughed at the request. Read the review by Vicky S. For more context. Completely disrespectful and dishonoring. read more

I've only eaten here twice and both times the food is excellent. I have some of the best barbecue around in my opinion. It's a quaint little place and feels like home. My stepfather used to come here all the time just for the ribs. They are good but so is the brisket and the chicken. I don't think there's a bad thing on the menu so far that I've tried. read more

The place was okay but to be honest tge food was pretty mid. The fries were fries but the brisket was just too dry. But the staff was very generous so no complaints there read more

I have been coming to Austin's for a while. They have great barbecue for the money and it's a great little bar when you want an entertaining Saturday band date night whatever you wanna call it joint. Ask for the fatty brisket and or the turkey here. The baked beans are great so is the fried okra. Just get yourself a loaded baked potato. read more

Best place around here for bbq! The owners are very nice and they have live bands on Sat nights! We have NEVER had a bad meal here.

Solid BBQ! Had brisket & jalapeño sausage & tasted great. Friendly folks. Would go again.

I ordered catering from Austin's Bar-B-Que for the first time yesterday for a company event just based on reviews. They did not disappoint. The portions were more than adequate: meats are all done to perfection, the barbecue sauce is excellent, killed the potato salad too. My group was really happy. Thank you to the Austins. read more

Popped in with a friend for lunch. Location is a little off the beaten path, and though it doesn't look like much from outside, inside is pure Cowboy. Meats were tender and tasty, and all the sides we tried were excellent. Austin's pricing was in line with any of the other DFW barbecue spots. This meal was a pleasant surprise (I was skeptical since I hadn't heard of them) and I would definitely return if I were in the area and craving some bbq. read more

Rolls were a little pitiful. The brisket is very good. The sausage is good for pork sauce and not pork and beef sausage mixed.

Weak! Weak in just about every way. Clearly, they are not making their own sausage, which is fine, but I don't think they're smoking it any further either. Even worse, it came out cold! How hard is it to heat up a sausage?! The ribs , in the words of my 13 yr old son, "are mush and had zero flavor". The potato salad was passable, same with the beans. The baked potato, lame, hardly and cheese, two tiny plastic cups of " butter spread " and a tube of sour cream only slightly larger than a ketchup pack. This place is an embarrassment to the term BBQ joint. read more

Delicious bbq at reasonable prices. Lots of indoor seating, a bar area, and booths. You order at the counter and then pick your seat (my personal favorite restaurant style). Atmosphere is calm / chill , and friendly. We were there on a Tuesday night and there were just a few other folks in there, but I bet on the weekends it picks up. Will definitely be going back to try other stuff on their menu. read more

The sides are superior to most BBQ joints, and the meats are quite good. (Try the half chicken and take the leftovers home for later.) Not up to Cattleack's meats, but you won't have to take out a loan for an order of brisket. The vibe is neighborhood comfy, and the management is friendly. It's out of the way for us, but we make the trip relatively often. read more

The food is truly delicious meat falls off the bone sides are well seasoned it feels like my aunt or uncle spent the morning grilling for family I'd definitely go here over major chains food is good!!!! read more

Glad I stopped by the other day (yes pick up only during the current circumstances) and I'm very glad that I did. I ordered two, three meat plates to share with my family. And boy o boy was it great. We purchased the pulled pork, two briskets, ribs, jalapeno sausage and turkey. For the sides I picked out the fired okra, coleslaw, baked beans and mac and cheese. I have to say my favorite meats were the pulled pork, ribs and brisket. They all had a great taste and were flavorful. The sides were great as well, favorites were the mac and cheese, coleslaw and okra. The sauce was good but I think it was missing something. Not sure what but food itself made up for it. Overall I had a great meal that stretched out a few days. I look forward to coming back once time permits. read more
