This past Saturday was a real letdown. Prices have really gone through the roof and that takes some of the fun out of a BBQ roadtrip. The lady taking orders and cutting meat had zero personality and rushed us through even though there weren't any customers behind us. The guy singing in the corner is s nice touch. We had chicken, ribs and sausage and none of it impressed us. The highlight of the meal was the blackberry cobbler and the always yummy butter beans. With gas prices so high, we will stay closer to Austin for our barbecue and get better prices and flavor.

Operating since 1999, they have perfected the art of pit smoking and how to quickly move you from their entrance to stuffing yourself with some of the best BBQ I've ever had, period. As you enter, their smoke pit greets you, and here is where you order your meat. Everything is à la carte, and you order by the half or by the pound. Next, you order your sides, all of which looked awesome, but I was here to go into a meat coma and have the meat sweats. Once you have your bounty in hand, there is a long table with cauldrons of pinto beans, bread, pickles, onions, peppers, and BBQ sauce. Using Franklin's brisket as the G.O.A.T., Opie's is right there with Franklin's claim to fame. Their moist brisket is so tender and moist, and finished with their subtle but savory vinegar-based sauce. Their baby back ribs are fall-off-the-bone delizioso! They have a tad sweet and spicy finish to them. Neither required extra BBQ sauce. Our dining companions raved about their smoked chicken and brisket sandwich. Do not sleep on their pinto beans. I added some BBQ sauce and jalapenos to add a kick to them, perfecto. , Opie's slogan is "Life is good in Spicewood," and it certainly is when you are dining here. We can't wait to return to further explore their menu.

The operate out of a large food truck with plenty of covered patio type seating. They seem to serve the typical Bar-B-Que fare so we ordered a pulled pork sandwich and the two meat plate. For the meat plate, we got the brisket and pork rib with jalapeño corn and pinto beans for sides. The beans are pretty average but the corn was exceptional. The brisket is good, but like some others commented, a bit more fat than I would like and greasy. But we definitely ate it. For the pork rib, the meat didn't exactly fall off the bone, but it was very tender. The pulled pork sandwich was the best part of the meal. They put ample meat on the bun and if you eat it dry without anything else, it's delicious. If you are passing by, I do recommend it. There is better BBQ but if you eat here, you won't be disappointed. As I mentioned, I will surely come back.

The staff was incredibly attentive, warm, and genuine--like I had been away and just returned. The broccolini was incredible--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The steak was absolutely scrumptious, cooked just right and rich in all the best ways. And the potatoes... I truly couldn't have done them better myself. Crispy, golden, and I'm convinced they were cooked in beef tallow--they were that good. This wasn't just a meal. It was an experience.

We wanted pretty views (which, of course, we got), decent food, and a drink after being so disappointed by the couple of restaurants at The Oasis area. What we were met with exceeded our hopes. First, service. Boon was our server and we loved him. He was upbeat and friendly, got us everything we asked for, and great at upselling drinks without being pushy. The boy who sat us and was bussing tables was sweet as well. Second, food and drink. The jerk chicken plate was enough food to have leftovers and full of flavor. My husband got the chicken and waffles and the chicken was fried to absolute perfection. They also included a honey cinnamon butter that would put roadhouse to shame. The Mexican martini was yummy and strong. Lastly, ambiance. The place is a dive, but not in a bad way. In a comforting way. Did I see a guy not wearing shoes? Allegedly! I didn't even care because the vibes were good. Everyone was as easy going as the alternative rock pumping from a radio speaker in the corner. This was the kind of place I'd love to be a regular at. Beautiful, chill, friendly, affordable. I will be coming back.

However, three of our four plates were hardly eaten because they were way too salty. The hamburger was good, because it wasn't too salty. I want this food truck to thrive, but please reduce the salt.

A Send-Off Worth Celebrating!…read more We started things off right with the deviled eggs and homemade bread -- simple, but done perfectly. Then came the main event: the 3-meat plate with turkey, brisket, and chicken. The portions were generous and every bite was packed with flavor. The corn and beans on the side rounded out the meal perfectly. By the time we got to dessert, I was already stuffed -- but I couldn't leave without taking the homemade peach cobbler home. It was calling my name from across the table! I'll be back with a full review of that soon, but I have a feeling it's going to be just as good as everything else. If you're looking for a spot to celebrate a big family moment with great food and even better portions, County Line BBQ is the move. Highly recommend!

From the moment I walked up, the service was five stars all the way. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind--there's clearly a lot of pride and heart behind this business, and it shows. I ordered the Classic Burger, and honestly? It was one of the best I've had in a long time. Perfectly juicy patty, grilled onions, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, melted cheese--all nestled in a soft, pillowy bun. Every bite was perfectly balanced and full of flavor. This is comfort food done right. The fries were also excellent--crisp, golden, and super fresh. Not greasy, just good. They've put real thought into the seating area, too. There are plenty of tables, and it feels cozy without being cramped. On a breezy day, it's especially nice--peaceful, with a lovely view that adds a little something extra to the whole experience. This is exactly the kind of locally-owned gem I love supporting. I'll absolutely be back, and I'll be recommending Lana's to friends, family, and fellow food lovers any chance I get. Highly recommend. Go hungry--you'll leave happy.
