Well I did it. Showed up at 4:30 am and was #44 in line. What was rather interesting was sitting…read morein a lawn chair and talking to the other people that made the journey. At 7:30 they play the natoinal anthem over the loudspeakers and just about 8:00am the line start moving along. I was in about 8:30 and got my tray of Ribs, Brisket and Pork. The BBQ was really good. You could argue what you find to be the best in Texas and Snows should be on your list. It's a place you should do at least once.

My First (and Probably Last) BBQ Line Experience!…read more I say "probably last" because, honestly, I'm just not built for waiting in line! We arrived around 5:30 a.m., and the line was already forming. We found our spot with a view of the pits, where the smoke was already rolling and music was playing in the background. Talk about a Texas morning! Before the 8 a.m. opening, pitmaster and owner Kerry came out and asked everyone to call out their place in line for a raffle. Turns out, we were #89 and #90! After the raffle, we stood for the national anthem, and shortly afterwards, the doors finally opened. While waiting in line, you could shop for merchandise and enjoy complimentary cocktails or Lone Star beer. Just remember to tip! Finally, it was our turn to order, and at 9:44 a.m., we took our first bite of Snow's BBQ. The brisket? Yum! The pork steak? YUM! Everything we tried was good, and we ended up packing the rest to take home. Was the BBQ good? Absolutely. Was the experience worth the early wake-up call and hours in line? It was a fun, uniquely Texan experience, but one I can probably check off my list! Honestly, I made the trip as much out of respect for Tootsie, the legendary female pitmaster, as I did for the BBQ itself. There's something special about the tradition, the people, the pits, and the atmosphere that makes Snow's more than just a meal. If you haven't been, I'd say give it a try at least once. It's an experience that captures the spirit of Texas. Meat. Fire. Beer. Texas.

Wonderful BBQ!! We had the plate, which includes three meats of your choice. I got the pork ribs,…read morebrisket, and cheddar-jalapeño sausage, and all three were packed with flavor and incredibly juicy. The pork ribs had an amazing smoky flavor and a great crust -- absolutely delicious! For my two sides, I chose the green beans with fresh garlic and the mac and cheese, which had the most wonderful crunchy topping. The BBQ sauces were delicious, and the sweet tea was true Texas tea -- definitely approved! I also loved the little details. Every table was stocked with paper towel rolls and their house-made BBQ vinegar hot sauce, which was such a nice touch. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, too. Overall, Southside Market & BBQ is a fantastic place to stop, especially if you're traveling through the area. And a huge bonus -- THEY OPEN AT 9 AM! That's some Texas BBQ dedication right there. 10/10 -- great food, great service, and a true Texas BBQ experience!

We made a trip to eat at Southside Market to try the Beef sausage. I saw a story on TV about their…read morefamous "The Original Elgin Hot Guts". It is worth the stop. The sausage was very good and flavorful. I have tried plenty of sausages in my time and Southside is very good. If you are in the Austin area you need to stop by and see for yourself. The place has plenty of seating and even a drive thru. We ¾ pounds which is plenty for 2 people. For the sides we shared the green beans and potato salad. The sides are very good and a must try. They have a vinegar sauce on the table you can use on the meat. I liked it and gave the sausage a thang. The price is comparable to other BBQ joints. Plus you can buy the sausage in some groceries stores. I need to try and see if it taste the same.

New school BBQ done right…read more Atmosphere: We visited during the Labor Day weekend and was expecting a long line, so we ventured out bright and early before the store opened. There was already a small line snaking outside (thankfully covered from the sun and there were some benches to sit on). Before the restaurant opened, they walked around with menus and took drink orders, and even had water outside for everyone. Once it opened, service was quick and efficient, with guests ordering at the counter and either taking it to go or seating themselves with staff preparing peach paper and napkins as place settings. Food: As our first BBQ joint we've visited in Texas, it set a very high bar for us. The standouts/highlights were definitely the pork belly with the nice peach tea glaze that helped cut the richness and sweetness (one piece each is more than enough), the beef rib with chimichurri that brought some parsley and garlic to the pepper bark and bite, the lengua special that was rich and tender at the same time, and the beef brisket burnt ends that were beautifully marbled and smoked. The rest of our platter was not bad, consisting of sausage with a good snap and the pork ribs and brisket which were tender. The scalloped potatoes were also on the heavier side, and we couldn't finish it, but the zucchini salad was a very nice contrast with the acidity to help us cut the richness of the bbq'd meats. The dessert was also a nice end that tied everything together. Service: The staff both at the counter and helping clear tables were very friendly to speak to, and threw in burnt ends as we mentioned it was our first time in Texas. They even helped us take a photo with our Polaroid camera when we asked! Definitely worth the wait and would come back if we ever got the chance

Interstellar BBQ was on my list of must visit during this trip to Austin. I was staying closer to…read moredowntown so this was more of a hike to get out here but it was a fun trip especially being able to try their amazing food. They also very fun of merchandise that I really wanted to get as a while. I got there about 30 minutes before opening and I was able to get my food about an hour afterwards. They went over a quick blur with everyone about how everything worked you that about the specials that they had for the day and also if you wanted to try things you can order things by the slice and not necessarily buy pound or the half pound. This freed things up for me to be able to try everything. I got the drunken turkey, a pork rib, pork belly, jalapeno popper sausage, and then there brisket. I knew there's no way I was going to be able to finish the food so also didn't get to order any of the signs or desserts this time of around. They're already a good maybe 20 or 30 people in line ahead of me when I got there prior to opening. Everyone looked very excited and wanting to try the food. I'm glad I did not mobile order the minimum order because there's no way I would have finished that. And at the very end they were able to give me a container that I could take on the airplane for my flight later this afternoon. There's so many delicious things on there many that I wanted to try. Sounded like a lot of people were ordering tacos too. There is a good amount of seating inside and also outside. Overall it's a fun experience and a very glad I came all this way here to experience everything.

Interstellar BBQ - Love the tender juice beef rib. The flavor profile is great and not too mushy. The beef brisket has a great blend of firmness and juiciness.
