First time here - the breakfast food is great, the service very friendly. It's small area with…read morelimited parking (8) but seems like they made the best use of the area. Love the self service area with napkins, to go boxes and bags, utensils, and toothpicks. Great that they put away from where you order! I would recommend to view the menu before you come as the place can get very busy and you can't really see the menu until you are at the front of the line. Would be great if you could order online.

We ordered to-go and had to ask for bbq sauce and salsa, which should normally be defacto around here. Glad I did because the bbq sauce was sweet and now one of my personal faves. Might be back to try the barbecue itself!

I wanted to take a moment to recognize Josh, the manager at Terry Black's, and the entire staff for…read moretheir outstanding hospitality today. We knowingly made the mistake of sitting in a reserved seating area, and Josh kindly approached us and asked us to move. Despite our mistake, he was incredibly gracious, patient, and understanding. He and his staff even allowed us to finish our food before moving and went above and beyond by treating us to dessert afterward. We were the ones in the wrong, and Josh and his team had every reason to handle the situation differently. Instead, they treated us with kindness, respect, and genuine hospitality. I really appreciate Josh's understanding and willingness to look past our mistake. It's a great reflection of his character, leadership, and the level of customer service at Terry Black's. Thank you, Josh, and the entire team, for turning a situation we created into such a positive experience. It certainly didn't go unnoticed, and we truly appreciate it!

First off the customer service here is AMAZING! From the time you enter to the end; everybody was…read moreso nice and helpful. Felt like a family! Favian and Tania were so sweet! I ordered the brisket, pork ribs, green beans and creamed corn. The sides were great! I really enjoyed the cream corn, the bite on the greens beans were perfect; although I prefer a little more seasoning. The pork ribs also had a great bite and crust, 8/10. The brisket was good, I just prefer my brisket a little more moist, 6.5/10. Overall I would come back!!

Combining that with the Egyptian spices makes for such a unique, delicious experience. I don't really see an argument against having them in the S tier of Austin bbq I've been pleasantly surprised at how short the lines generally are when I come. Even on weekends around lunchtime I don't think I've had more than a 20 minute wait. The lamb chops do tend to run out fairly quickly and I have had a few visits where some other items are out. If you're dead set on those coming closer to late morning is probably the move. The space is fantastic, given the volume of people visiting here doesn't go up dramatically. Theres plenty of tables, the brewery has solid beer options, and it's one of the few brewery type spaces in Austin that will consistently have games on. If they ever get the level of attention their quality deserves, this goes out the window. The line area does not have room for a franklins/interstellar type line. My guess is they'll eventually go the brick and mortar route. Overall I can't recommend this spot enough!

You have to. You just HAVE to. It's almost too good to be true…read more We showed up on Friday afternoon on my birthday. I was prepared to splurge, since it was my birthday, and I picked a Michelin rec. But I was immediately struck by how reasonably priced everything was. We went all in. We ordered brisket, sausage, lamb bacon ribs, the Egyptian Cowboy, hummus, and that special pink potato salad. The portions were great, even ordering the smallest serving sizes when given a choice. The food was fantastic. I really don't know what else to say. It absolutely deserves its incredible reputation, and it honestly might be the best bang for your buck in TX BBQ. The atmosphere is really cool too. They're stationed outside of Oddwood brewing and shares seating. The outdoor and indoor seating are both very nice. Oddwood also has some great retro arcade games. It makes for a great afternoon or evening out.

I knew the second I walked into Churchrow and caught that distinctly smoky aroma that I'd been here…read morebefore, not literally, but somewhere in my Deep South Texas childhood. And when I call Churchrow a "BBQ joint," that's with respect. The best joints have always been about good smoke, good meat, and feeding folks right. Churchrow takes that tradition and adds a full bar, creative drinks, and plenty of South Texas influence. I showed some restraint and ordered the La Valentina brisket taco and Friday's smoked hot wings. That taco? Lord have mercy. About a quarter-pound of tender, juicy brisket with guacamole and ranchero sauce resting on a homemade flour tortilla. One bite and I was sold. Breakfast, lunch, dinner; I'd eat that thing anytime. Then came the wings: plump, juicy, smoky, and covered in a sweet, tangy sauce with enough pepper heat to kick like a mule. Spicy? Sure. Nothing a properly raised Texas toddler couldn't handle. I finished eight of ten and had to wave the white flag. There's plenty more calling me back: brisket burgers, mollejas, barbacoa, chicken, pulled pork, borracho beans and more. But what really got me was that familiar aroma. The wood. Mesquite. You don't find many Central Texas BBQ joints making mesquite the star of the pit. It burns hot and fast and can overpower meat if you don't know what you're doing. But handled right, it delivers a flavor that takes me straight back home, to carne asadas, backyard fires and Deep South Texas. Churchrow knows how to handle it. It may have a full bar and modern touches, but I'm still calling Churchrow a "BBQ joint." Around here, that's a compliment. Come hungry. Follow the smoke. And taste a little South Texas in Central Texas.

The mac and cheese was a delight, with chicken tender pieces cooked to perfection, with a punch of flavor from the cinnamon rub and green onions bringing, once again, that balance of flavors. This place is a gem. Cockti is definitely on my top list. Sorry, my pics dont do justice to how good the food actually is!

I wanted to love Mum Foods. Texas BBQ meets Jewish deli culture/cuisine is a flaming hot idea with…read moreSO much potential, but what the hell did I just witness? This was piss poor execution, yall. The BBQ was SO dry, lacking any juiciness and flavor, but to add insult to injury, it was served lukewarm. The corned beef sandwich ESPECIALLY hurt my feelings: it was chunky-cut, cold tempered corned beef slapped onto bread, absolutely drowning in mustard, with some QUESTIONABLE bread they called Rye (????) that looked like wheat bread to me instead of true rye, with no Russian dressing, no sauerkraut, no cheese and no tangy coleslaw to pay homage to Jewish cuisine. Granted, I told my niece my basic order ASSUMING maybe that everything would come with the sandwich??? But do you really have to ASK for a corned beef sandwich at a restaurant trying to be Jewish fusion to come with the basics of a Jewish deli sandwich?? Maybe so. All I'm saying is: there was an opportunity here to have some fun with the fusion, and instead, these people chose to cut corners. No marble rye, no cheese, no Russian dressing, no sauerkraut, no coleslaw, no thinly sliced warm corned beef. Just chunks of cold meat slapped with mustard. The matzo ball soup didn't save things. The broth was extremely dark yellow, extremely salty, unfiltered and full of fat, and tasted more concentrated than fresh and savory. The vegetables and chicken were okay, but the torn-up lump of matzo and the slap of whatever herbs thrown on top made the presentation feel unfinished. There was no real herb flavor to the broth, and the torn up lump of matzo hurt my feelings. It soaked up the salty broth well, though, so it tried to do its job, but I wasn't a fan of the overall poor execution. Maybe I'm spoiled after decades of eating Jewish food in Los Angeles, but if you're going to marry Jewish deli with Texas BBQ, we need to see a MF'ing MARRIAGE...not something sitting on the edge of divorce. 2 stars and I won't be back.

The food was so good, and I can definitely see why they've earned the recognition. Definitely worth the stop and wait ! We ordered the brisket , Peach tea-glazed pork belly and the lamb shoulder.

It was pouring down rain so I hoped that it would be a better line situation at 11 AM on a Friday. It was still a 40 minute wait but much better than two hours. Inside it's not a huge dining room, but I did notice people would get up pretty quickly after finishing. This place smells like amazing barbecue inside even. Make sure you bring your pocketbook because it's not cheap but you have to pay for the quality. I didn't even know that they had a Michelin star too, which says a lot for barbecue. We got a little bit of everything and I'll give you just the highlight. The beans are without a doubt the best beans I've ever had in my life. The macaroni and cheese was out of this world good. My wife had the rib and she loved it. The brisket was absolutely some of the best I've ever had in my life. And I've been eating barbecue in Texas for over 30 years. We will definitely be back but will try to hit an off time so I don't have to wait so long in that line.

In addition, during Thursday Happy Hour, you can get the ribs at half price. Stack City has a laid-back, chill vibe.

I think Austin might be sleepin' on this place! I got the Texas Tornado, which is essentially a BBQ burrito - bbq meats, beans, and mashed potatoes (I removed the onions and jalapeños). You add your own sauces to your liking - the Gold sauce was my favorite! The portion was enormous, so I ended up only eating half. I wish I could've done a half order and maybe tried more sides. The space is great - fun decor, a cute bar, fun staff! I wish they would've talked up the menu a little more after I said I was from out of town. Given the low traffic, I had hoped for a more personable interaction. I hope this place gets more in-restaurant diners. I hope to be back!
