    We like to try new to us BBQ joints and decided to give this place a go. We really thought this would be a great place based on the rating here on Yelp. I'll start out by saying that this place is really small. The pictures make it look bigger than it really is. The lady who took our order was very pleasant. However the BBQ meat was a HUGE disappointment. I ordered the 2 meat (brisket and chicken) plate which came with two sides. Both of the meats were extremely under seasoned and virtually flavorless. I had to use a lot of black pepper just to get some flavor out. Considering that they use pits to smoke the meat, a smoke ring was nonexistent. It appears that they cook boneless and skinless chicken breasts because all I got was three sliced medallions of the meat. In my opinion, chicken needs to be smoked bone in with the skin to add flavor to the meat. The brisket was bland and flavorless without adding any sauce. My two sides were yams and collard greens. The yams are basically just cooked sweet potatoes that have been mashed. They were good but nothing to write home about. The collard greens were pretty good. Please note that they do not have any vinegar pepper sauce on hand. They do not have fountain drinks, but they do have ice tea and lemonade ($2.50 per cup). They also have canned drinks and bottled water for sale. We didn't bother to have dessert.

    Brisket sandwich
    Mark C.

    Small hole in the wall with really good BBQ. We came after lunch hour and had the place to ourselves. Ordered the brisket sandwich and the sides were the beans, potato salad, corn, and Mac n cheese. The brisket was outstanding! Moist, flavorful with good smoke and a healthy portion. The sides were good, but the beans really stood out.. sweet bbq beans that weren't too sweet. Can't wait to Come back here and try the ribs, chicken and the sides of collard greens and fried cabbage! Just have to take some gas pills with that last one .. give this place a try, the owner is such a nice guy and very inviting...

    Very friendly service :)

    Green beans, collard beans, cabbage... not to mention the brisket! Every time we eat Sweetie's I'm fully satisfied. Employees are super friendly and there's seating available outside if you're up to dining al fresco. The flavors are deep and cooked tender, juicy, and just right. The dining area inside is limited but again, you have an option to sit outside if you're good with the Texas weather dujour. ;)

    Found Hello Sweetie on Yelp and it had good reviews. Very limited parking and we actually parked across the street at the market. Not much signage. I've actually driven by the location multiple times over the years and did not know they exist. Staff was very friendly and helpful in ordering our meals. Prices were normal for BBQ. We ordered brisket, sausage, and pulled pork. Very good flavor and very little fat. I enjoyed the brisket and sausage without bbq sauce. It just was not needed. For sides we had potato salad, candied yams, cole slaw, and collard greens. All were above average but my favorite was the collard greens. Overall the experience was good and everyone enjoyed the food. Hello Sweetie is defense on 'My Keepers List'.

    Sandwich special plate
    Marla H.

    Absolutely the best! No need to drive into Round Rock & Austin anymore. You cannot beat the price. We got the 3 meat combo with a sausage, pork, and brisket. We had the coleslaw and beans as sides. Our son had the sandwich special. He ordered the brisket sandwich and macaroni as his side. The beans were the best we have ever had. They have tomatoes, some pieces of brisket, and bbq sauce in them. The macaroni was made with the perfect blend of cheeses. The coleslaw was perfect with just the right amount of tang and creaminess with a hint of sweetness. Finally the employees and owner are so incredibly nice! They go out of their way to make you feel special. Wish we would have known about this place a long time ago! We will definitely be back for more!!!!!

    Brisket sandwich with collard greens

    We stopped by here for lunch on our way to visit Inner space cave. Man, glad we stopped by. It's one of those hole-in-the-wall places where service is personal, food is great, and atmosphere is laid back. When we came in, we were greeted by "sweetie" and took our order on one of the tables. We paid after we ate. Food was not bad and we all chowed it all down. Being a blues fan, liked have blues music playing in the restaurant. Can't think of a thing to change in the place. If you're at the caves, treat yourself to the closest BBQ (about a mile) when you're in the area.

    Ribs plate
    Andrea H.

    The best bbq I've had in TX. usually I don't like tx style bbq but my husband does so I oblige and tagged along with him to several places. Hello Sweetie is the first time I actually reallyyy enjoyed the meal. I got the ribs and sausage place with Mac n cheese and Cole slaw. The ribs were the star of the show. My issue with bbq is that it's too oily and heavy but these were SO SMOKY AND DELICIOUS. not heavy and greasy at all. The smokiness definitely made this bbq joint stand out. Same thing with the sausage *chefs kiss*. The mac n cheese was a slightly sharp cheddar flavor which I loved. Cole slaw was fresh and crunchy. My hubs had their brisket which I tried and that was delicious too. Pro tip: smother their AMAZING bbq sauce over the meet. Eat everything with your hands. Put sausage in a slice of bread and eat like a hot dog with Cole slaw topping on top. Service was wonderful too. Felt like a family owned business. Thank you sweeties for converting me into a bbq lover!

    Sample of homemade smoked chicken salad and I left with a quart.
    Desiare M.

    I was in town for an appointment and wanted to stop for lunch before heading back to Houston. I was able to small my way to the location( along with GPS) and when we arrived were were greeted very friendly and the BBQ was GREAT! The brisket melted in your mouth and the ribs were not tough and I love that they done put any sauce in the food, it is at the table but the true test is no sauce. Also they has a smoked chicken salad on the specials for the day and the manager brought out a sample for us to try, needless to say I left with a quart of it to-go. Ill be back on my next trip to Austin.

    3 Meat plate with Pulled Pork, Sausage, Brisket, Collard Greens and Fried Cabbage.
    Steven R.

    Pulled Pork was amazing. Tasty Brisket and Sausage but the Pulled Pork stole the show. This is a hidden gem tucked into the corner next to the gas station. I've driven by many times without noticing. Stop in and give them your business. You'll get some great food in return. They'll even great you with a heartfelt "Hello, Sweetie!".

    Sausage, brisket, collard greens
    Leslie G.

    Amazing food. Swear it comes right off the smoker and onto my plate. Pulled pork and collard greens were fantastic! Love how they greet you with, "Hello Sweetie" when I come in!!

    Mac and cheese

    The brisket sandwich was dry the Mac and cheese was very gritty. I do not appreciate it I spent 25 and tipped 5 dollars bad first impression. One picture is lighted by my camera so you can see how gritty it was.

    Those dark pieces were so hard and overcooked, I couldn't chew them. I've NEVER had that happen with a chopped brisket sandwich. Ever.
    Jeff H.

    I can't figure out how the rating is this high. Everyone inside was friendly, but the food just isn't good. At all. I walked in and ordered a chopped brisket sandwich to go. I paid and was told to wait in my car. That was odd since it only takes a couple minutes, at most, to put together a chopped brisket sandwich. After about 10 minutes in my car, the gentleman at the counter walked out and apologized that "they got to talking and it will be a few more minutes". It took another 5 minutes. Fifteen minutes to receive a chopped brisket sandwich is unacceptable, but I would have overlooked it if the food was good. It was not. The brisket was soaked in sauce and had grilled onions in it (I had asked for no onions). There was some smoke flavor, but it basically tasted like the BBQ you buy in the bucket at Sam's club but a little worse. I think this was done in an oven with liquid smoke. There were several pieces in the brisket that were so hard and overcooked that I couldn't chew them. That was a first for a chopped brisket sandwich. Also, the sandwich wasn't even lukewarm and it takes me 5 minutes to drive from the restaurant back to work and get to my office. This is the second time I've tried this place and the food isn't good. It's not a 4.5 star restaurant - not even close. I think people just don't know what good barbecue tastes like or the reviews on here are friends and family of the owner. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. The one star is because the food and the service were so bad. The food was about a 2 star rating.

The seafood dishes deliver on that authentic Cajun flavor, seasoned well and satisfying for anyone craving Southern comfort food with a kick.
