    Y'all... Bird Bird Biscuit absolutely deserves every bit of hype. The biscuits were soft, buttery, flaky perfection and that fried chicken? Crispy, juicy, and seasoned SO well. I got the Queen Beak and baby... I understand the obsession now. Every bite felt like a warm hug honestly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The whole vibe was giving cozy Austin comfort food with good energy and kind people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And don't even get me started on the Dough-Doughs because those little bites of happiness nearly took me OUT. As a foodie, I can honestly say this spot was worth every second of the wait. Bird Bird Biscuit officially has a place in my heart now.

    Radio Coffee and Beer has a lot of great food options, and this place is no exception. We ordered the briscuit and jelly sandwich and the briscuits and gravy. The briscuits and gravy was the favorite. The brisket was tender and the classic gravy was delicious. The brisket and jelly sandwich was a little too sweet for my liking. I enjoyed the bites with less strawberry jelly, but it was still a great sandwich. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's lots of places to sit outside at Radio, and the atmosphere is usually pretty lively on the weekends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Briscuits was the second stop on our barbecue safari. We ordered brisket. It was good, but not great. The owner was very friendly. We placed our order at the window and sat on a picnic bench. Parking is in a dirt lot that wraps around two sides of the area.

    Pimento grits
    Kate C.

    The service was so fast and good! The food was to die for. I had the pimento cheese grits and they were so flavorful! That had an unexpected kick to them spice wise. The blueberry Gouda sausage was perfect and juicy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was so cute for this trick to be in the middle of a big outdoors space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was great to hang out with friends outside![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Pork Belly and Jam (blueberry)
    Eric K.

    I'm drooling just thinking about this place. We waited a little longer than normal. We took the time to grab a coffee from Radio Coffee. When we returned, they informed us they had run out of the regular jam for the pork belly sandwich and asked if it was ok to switch to blueberry. After the first bite, I felt exactly like Tuco Salamanca from Breaking Bad. "Tight, tight, tight. Blue, pink, yellow. I don't care, just bring me more of that." If you sprinkled that blue meth on McDonald's sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit, it still wouldn't be as good as this.

    Briscuits was delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Right when you park you smell the overwhelming smoke of BBQ.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Located at Radio Coffee and Beer. Parking can be limited and tight. Heads up you have to order online only. So don't stand in front of the truck waiting. The food was visibly stunning it looked like it came out of a magazine. I ordered a brisket, egg and cheese on a biscuit. The brisket was spot on and the eggs were so fluffy. The biscuit was on the drier side in my opinion so with thick brisket and a drier biscuit it was a mouthful. I will say for $17 I wish I there was more brisket but in the end it was delicious. The smoked strawberry jam was great - $2 for a side of it felt expensive.

    Haul

    Through my BBQ awakening and journey to try all the best spots in Texas, I was most intrigued by the breakfast barbecue concept of Briscuits. I've always had a soft spot for barbecue sandwiches, and to see Briscuits hold that proudly as their purpose in the saturated craft BBQ market made them remain high on my bucket list. Now, I gate-kept myself from going to Briscuits until I could get up in the morning. If they pride themselves on meat served in a biscuit, it's not a lunch restaurant. It is a tried-and-true breakfast and brunch restaurant. Agreeing to pick a friend up from the airport was enough to motivate me to go to Radio and order some Briscuits. I got to Radio and scored a parking spot like a champion, scanned the QR code outside Briscuits, and easily placed an order through my phone. I'm so used to the extensive, never-ending, hour-long planning ahead of many of the BBQ joints I've been to, so scanning a QR code and getting my food 20 minutes after I ordered felt surreal. Briscuits opens early at 8 am, and by 10:40 when I placed my order, a majority of their food was still available. My order was ready 15 minutes later. The haul? The main choice in the Briscuits experience was to choose between a biscuit with egg and cheese or a biscuit with jelly. I could have gone for both, and maybe I would have if I had a little more courage in my heart, but I chose the brisket, egg, and cheese, which seemed to me the titular item that represented the ethos and essence of what Briscuits is trying to do as a concept. It was a heater. Breakfast sandwiches seem to peak with sausage, egg, and cheese, but if you replace the sausage with fine brisket and the bun with a mouthwatering, buttery biscuit, you learn society has reached a new level in the hierarchy of breakfast sammys. The thing looks like it's going to bust out of the damn wrapper, and the huge chunk of scrambled eggs really brings it together. The wrapper tries its best to keep the sandwich composed because without its structure, you start getting bites of just egg and have half of the brisket still to eat without the biscuit. Blessed. In addition, I ordered a link of their Blueberry Gouda sausage. I've talked many times about how a specialty link is an essential addition to a modern barbecue restaurant, so for a breakfast BBQ restaurant to infuse blueberry in the sausage is an A+ in conception. As for the link itself, it's very unique. The berry profile complements the meat very well. I had a few bites with their provided sauce, but I fear the blueberries and the BBQ sauce clash. It's great on its own. No need for sauce. The last thing I ordered was a side of their hash browns. They were a lot more peppery than a typical hash brown patty, but I really liked the kick, and it was super crispy on the outside. I think Briscuits and Radio really benefit from each other's existence on a shared ground because I got a great latte to mesh with my breakfast, which really tied the experience together in a nice bow and puts Briscuits in a really excellent space. I've been to Radio many times but never when Briscuits was open, so it was nice to hit both in one go. As a whole, Briscuits is the best way to eat BBQ before 11 am. I find myself, as I write this review in the evening, still yearning for another breakfast sammy because they reinvented what makes a morning magical. To wrap it up, I showed my friend a picture of the brisket, egg, and cheese I got, and he made me go back to Radio so he could get one himself. That's how good Briscuits is.

    Biscuits and barbeque in the same spot? A great breakfast option. These cheesy grits may have been the best I ever had. Cool spot..everything was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was prompt, friendly, and the location was lovely especially in the unusually brisk Texas weather.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    BLUEBERRY SAUSAGE & JELLY Split 1/2 Link Blueberry Gouda Sausage with Smoked Blueberry Jam
    Matt L.

    Briskets is one of my favorite breakfast spots to eat at when visiting Austin. They combine some of the best the south has to offer, their fresh homemade buttermilk biscuits paired with their Texas smoked meats and homemade jellies are just the perfect marriage. I've never had a disappointing bite here. Today I tried their Inside Out Cinnamon Roll with Smoked Cream Cheese Frosting. It was light and airy and just the perfect balance of sweet and savory , the smoked cream cheese frosting really made it special. The Blueberry Sausage & Jelly Biscuit also caught my eye. Made with a Blueberry and Gouda Sausage and Smoked Blueberry Jam all topped on a fresh Buttermilk Biscuit. It's was simply perfect, I never knew I needed the combination of blueberry and Gouda cheese in a sausage until today and the blueberry jam was the perfect balance of sweet and smoky really making this an amazing breakfast treat. As usual each bite was memorable and I left satisfied. Check them out if you never have, they earned the Michelin Bib Gourmand and landed on Texas Monthly's Top 50 BBQ Joints for a reason. P.S. Make sure to grab a coffee or beer to wash it down next door at Radio Coffee & Beer where this awesome little food truck is located.

    Brisket and gravy
    Caren F.

    Came here to meet my nieces and their partners for brunch. I had the briscuits and gravy. The brisket was on point. That by itself if 5 stars. However the biscuit was a bit dry. I like the more fluffier type, only only reason it didn't get the full stars. The gravy was perfect. Service was quick. We got our food in about 10 minutes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was outside so it was nice and chill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The parking can be challenging though. But overall would def come here again!

    Sausage/egg/cheese biscuit, briscuits and gravy, and inside out cinnamon roll!
    Kara M.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love that this spot is located right next to Radio Coffee - it's a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning with nice weather![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You scan the QR code and order via mobile, then pick up your order when it's ready. Easy process and quick, friendly service. Overall, I would definitely revisit! Love the combination of good BBQ and biscuits. QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, Radio Coffee has a small/tight lot but you can also street parking around the area! - Order ahead? Yes, you can order online for pick up. FOOD RATINGS: - Sausage, egg, cheese biscuit (4/5): Pretty stacked so a little difficult to bite, but who's complaining? Great biscuits and delicious, juicy sausage. We opted for the jalapeño cheddar sausage and it was great! You can also add extras like jams or sauces. - Briscuits and gravy (5/5): Probably our favorite. Open-faced biscuit with gravy and brisket! - Inside out cinnamon roll (4/5): Cream cheese frosting was generous and delicious. Very bread-y (biscuit texture) but not bad. Loved the flavors.

    You like brisket? You like biscuits? Well Briscuits is the place for you! I was so excited to get a breakfast biscuit with brisket, truly 3 things I love (breakfast, brisket, and biscuits) all combined into one. I ordered online while waiting in line at Radio, and the timing worked out perfectly where our order was ready right as we got our drinks. The brisket breakfast biscuit was soo good and a thicc bite. Either you gotta go for two bites or unhinge your jaw like an anaconda. Whichever method, it was delicious. As you may imagine, buttery flaky biscuit plus smoky fatty brisket sandwiched with cheese and egg is a formidable meal. It honestly made me want to take a nap afterwards, but in the best way possible.

    Blueberry Gouda Sausage

    TLDR: Briscuits pairs flaky biscuits with standout brisket; the sides also shine. Currently, online ordering only. An easy recommendation. Overview: At Briscuits, biscuits and barbecue are the whole idea. This food truck from Christopher McGhee and William Spence sits in the Radio Coffee & Beer lot and runs a smooth system that, at the moment, takes online orders only, so ordering ahead before you arrive is smart. Parking can be tight in the gravel lot by the patio, but there is street parking in the neighborhood and an additional lot for the coffee shop. Since opening in 2021, the truck has been featured multiple times, including recognition as a Michelin Bib Gourmand selection and a spot on Texas Monthly's Top 50 BBQ Joints list in 2025. Food: I ordered a two-meat plate with brisket and pork belly, which includes a biscuit, plus pimento cheese grits on the side and the smoked strawberry jelly. I added a blueberry sausage link, hash browns, and the inside-out cinnamon roll. The two-meat plate was $28, brisket was $36/lb, the blueberry sausage was $9.50 per link and generously sized; the hash browns were $3.50, and the cinnamon roll was $7. Overall, it's slightly pricey, but not too bad. The brisket was the clear highlight. Tender and beefy with a pepper-forward bark, it packed real depth. The pork belly, cooked like the brisket, was well executed but naturally milder, so it didn't pop the same way. I made a DIY version of their Brisket and Jelly sandwich with my plate components. The biscuit and smoked strawberry jelly are excellent on their own, and together they make a delicious bite, though the brisket's nuances get a little muted in sandwich form unless you catch a fatty piece. The blueberry and Gouda sausage is a fun twist with a subtle sweetness and a satisfying snap, moist and well-made, but a bit restrained overall. The sides were strong, too. The pimento cheese grits are smooth but slightly textured, nicely seasoned, and never bland. The hash browns bring real crunch and confident seasoning. The inside-out cinnamon roll, made from biscuit dough with cinnamon sugar and a cream cheese-style filling, has great texture and a familiar, straightforward flavor that lands as a very solid but not show-stopping dessert. Final Thoughts: Briscuits delivers on its promise and is well worth a visit. The menu shows creativity, the execution is strong, and the value is good enough for a comfort-forward Southern and Texas BBQ fix.

They wrapped each taco individually in aluminum foil to keep it warm which was a nice touch, though they didn't bring out the red and green sauces until we asked for them. Brisket Taco ($9): The brisket was a bit dry but the slice was pretty thick and it paired well with the acidity of the pickles. Carne G Taco ($6): Super cheesy and heavy. The flavors weren't bad but I felt pretty gross after eating one and it left me really bloated.

This spot was close to my hotel, and on my departure day, I decided to have one last hit of Q. It's a big restaurant, and it appears to also be quite the music venue. When I went, a little on the early side for a Friday dinner, there was not a wait and I was sat immediately. My server was attentive, and got me in, fed, and back out in plenty of time to catch my already delayed flight. I ordered their 3 meat combo plate, which also came with two sides, and added on a piece of cornbread. I chose brisket of course, as well as turkey and sausage. The server recommended the serrano pepper spinach (like a creamed spinach) and onion rings, and I took those recs. The best of the three meats was the turkey. Not a good sign. It was moist and tender, though not particularly smokey. Even so, I enjoyed it more than the brisket and sausage, which I would have guessed the reverse when ordering. The brisket was on the dry side and kind of bland, it did not smack of being freshly carved. The Stubbs BBQ sauce helped me eat some of it... now I see why they are famous for their sauce. I had a couple bites of the sausage and pushed it aside, I didn't enjoy their recipe on that at all. It was cooked seemingly well, but the blend of spices and meat they use wasn't pleasant to me. The sides, the onion rings were very crispy which I like, but again... something in the batter. Maybe even the oil they were cooked in, I did not enjoy as much. The spinach was actually quite enjoyable, maybe even a little rich. I think if it were warmer, if might help milden out some of that. It was really thick. The cornbread wasn't worth the add-on. No sweetness or anything to make it memorable. Vessel for butter. The portion was massive, and I had leftover food, but did not take it... and that would have been the case even if I wasn't headed to the airport. I wouldn't recommend this spot.

    I came here for the beef ribs and they did not disappoint. Are they expensive? Most definitely, 2…read moreribs cost $54 (they weigh them so prices can vary). Were they 100% worth it? ABSOLUTELY. When I tell you these ribs were a religious experience I am not embellishing. Full disclosure: I do not currently live in the south so I don't consider myself a BBQ connoisseur, but I did spend 4 years in the south and have sampled many BBQ joints in the meantime. Take this review as someone who really enjoys BBQ (and any slow cooked meat for that matter) but who could not list more than 10 BBQ restaurants they have eaten at in the last 5 years. So the beef ribs. Great texture, tender meat but still had a bite to it. Expertly seasoned so they were not wet with sauce but still moist. I would consider 1 beef rib a snack, 2 a small meal. I also tried the chopped brisket (brisket and burnt ends sitting in a soup of BBQ sauce). That was also delicious (and more reasonably priced), but I could have done with slightly less sauce. It really was like a soup and while the sauce was tasty, there was too much of it. I went later in the afternoon (around 2/2:30pm) and got their last two beef ribs so going earlier is better. You order at the open kitchen and then pay at the counter when your food is ready. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, you can take your food and sit at any of their tables of which they have many (this place is pretty big).

We also came on a Saturday around 2:30 pm. We got our food pretty quick so you can really just eat for 30 minutes and walk around downtown for a good 1.5 hours before coming back and leaving. We will definitely be back!

    THIS PLACE IS LEGIT…read more I was a bit hesitant to visit Gus's because I've seen both positive and negative reviews, and didn't know who to trust. So I took some of the criticism (sides suck EXCEPT for collard greens and okra) into consideration for my order. I arrived at opening, and the restaurant already had a few customers. I got the 3-piece dark meat meal (15.25), and a refillable drink ($3 but you can keep the cup). My meal was ready in under 10 minutes, and could see that everything was freshly made. The hue on the chicken was beautiful --- it's not just a crust, that's some batter on Gus's chicken! The okra and the collards passed the test (DELICIOUS), and I was hoping for the chicken to be as "world famous" as I've heard. THE CHICKEN DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The crunch was undeniable, the slight heat from the marinade was present, and overall flavor was simply...pleasurable. My rule for chicken? Always get the dark meat. I took my souvenir cup with me, but I can finally say I tried Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken --- and it is world famous for good reason!

    Prolly the best BBQ I've ever had in Texas. Heck, the best BBQ I've ever had anywhere…read more Worth the waiting in line on a hot and steamy summer afternoon, and forever grateful they didn't run out of brisket before we were able to get some. The staff were personable, considering his busy they were. So helpful and engaged with customers. That alone would bring you back. But the smoked meats are hard to beat! I mean, brisket is the movie star, but the sausage and pulled pork weren't to shabby either. Everyone should go here at least 1 time. Then you'll always know how to tell a good BBQ.

    I have had good BBQ brisket before, at least so I thought, until I had Franklin Barbecue. This was…read morethe best barbecue brisket and pork ribs I've ever had. We tried the brisket, the pork ribs and house sausage. The brisket and ribs were fall apart tender and impossibly moist. The moistness was what struck me as different and more delicious compared to other barbecued meats I've had. They did keep the meat wrapped in foil until presented to the customer, which must help. The brisket is only seasoned with salt and pepper so the flavor of the meat and smoke comes through. The ribs are also finished lightly with bbq sauce, still preserving the meat flavor. They do offer four different barbecue sauces that are quite delicious. Bread and pickles are free, as are ice and water. Line wait data point: Went on a Tuesday (they are closed on Mondays) got there at 12:20 PM and it took just 80 minutes to get through the line. Left just after 2pm and there was no line - and few if any meats left.

    Amazing food! Ordered from here for a family gathering and…read morethe food and service was excellent!! Highly recommend!!

    This order was delivered to us for a catering event. The ordering process was smooth and efficient…read morewhile also being delivered at the scheduled time. For fifteen people, the total cost was $425.69. This included delivery costs and taxes, but no tip. It consisted of three meats, two sides, and a dessert along with pickles, onions, bread, and BBQ sauce. There was also a set of utensils delivered, but plates were forgotten, but not a big deal. Brisket - This was definitely the best item eaten of the day. It was tender and juicy while adding the BBQ sauce giving that extra bite. The BBQ sauce was great regardless, a little bit of sweet and smoky flavor going on. Pulled Pork - This was another solid meat choice. I did not think it was as tender as the brisket, but it was still enjoyable especially with that BBQ sauce, which was key throughout the meal. Sausage - This was not bad. The snap on this threw me off a little, but it was not too bad. They were large links and had plenty of flavor. Gouda Mac & Cheese with Smoked Bacon - This was actually penne pasta with little pieces of the bacon. I actually preferred this pasta choice here. It really soaked up the cheese sauce. The sauce was not too over powerful and was just right. Beans with Smoked Bacon - These were not too bad. I thought they were a little liquidity, but the added bacon pieces definitely helped. Banana Pudding - This came in individual cups, which was nice. The pudding was thick with a little meringue or whipped cream present and a few wafer cookies on top. It was a satisfying ending to a very good meal. Will I go back? Yes.
