    Mac and cheese
    Steve C.

    I was the first and only customer at around 11am - 12 noon on a Friday in September 2025. I was very excited to try some great bbq at one of the most highly rated food trucks on Yelp and by others. It's about 25 minutes over curvy roads thru the hills outside of Austin central metro area. I was glad that I went because I've been to Austin many times yet had not been northwest of the city. I tried many items. The sides were only $4 for the "small" portions (which weren't that small), so I tried all of them. The mac and cheese cork screw pasta was especially delicious. In fact, every side was delish and decadent. The jicama cole slaw was good and crunchy, the scalloped potatoes delish, the sriracha cole slaw had a good kick. I also liked the green chili corn and the pinto beans (very hearty). There was a side of pickle chips and onions. Now for the most important part, the brisket. It had a delicious bark on it, but it was just a bit dry. When I told my native Austinite friends this later, they all got very quiet ;). I believe that perhaps the truck makes the meat every other day, and I was there on the second day and so the meat got a bit dry (I'm being purely speculative about this and could be wrong). But it was still amazing! The special that day was "The Volcano Sandwich" (see photos) with brisket, potato salad, bacon jam, jalapenos, and pepper vinegar sauce on a hamburger bun. By the ingredients list, I thought it would be spicy, but it really was not. It was excellent. I also got the straight slices of brisket in its purest form. Again, delicious but a bit on the dry side. I also opted for some pork and got the Maui Waui Taco with pulled pork, pineapple pico de gallo, and chipotle sour cream. It was very tasty and I recommend it for the pork. It had a good kick and just sweet enough, but too much so. I was unsure whether Jim's Smokehouse had a second location along Barton Springs Road in Austin because it was listed on the web. I tried calling a few times to get more information, but got voicemail both times. I confirmed later that, as of this writing, the dt Austin location was closed down. Jim's Smokehouse is co-located with a few other food trucks. There are picnics tables, shaded in the back and a ping pong table. That day, I was served by Cecil? who was incredibly friendly and very welcoming. Such a nice guy. He brought all the food out to me along with the entire napkin holder. He appropriately waited for about 15 minutes to bring me the dessert which was the Keylime Pie with strawberry sauce (on the side). I tell you the pie was fantastic - get it! I think Jim's Smokehouse is 5/5 overall. I would go again in a heartbeat.

    We originally found this spot because we had wanted to try another food truck in the same area. But it had apparently closed, so we decided we would just eat there anyways at the other food trucks. So I was so surprised to see such a high rating and so many reviews for this spot, considering I hadn't heard about it before. The pricing is pretty decent for barbecue. I ended up sharing a 2 meat 2 sides plate. They were sadly out of moist brisket (we came on a Saturday around 6pm), so we got the lean brisket and baby back ribs. With the Mac n cheese and sriracha cole slaw. The brisket was a little drier than I would have liked, but I imagine the moist would have been really good. And I really enjoyed the ribs. Really flavorful and decently tender! The sriracha coleslaw was really unique and I enjoyed it. But the more you eat, the more the spice builds, and it got to the point that I didn't really want it anymore. But I definitely want to try the jicama coleslaw next time. The Mac and cheese was really cheesy, and not too thick, but it was pretty typical. I think based off of food alone, I might have given 4 stars. But the service is what really pushed me to 5 stars. When we first u wrapped our food, we noticed there was a long blonde hair on our ribs. We let them know and they were so quick to rectify everything and give us a new batch of ribs. The dessert might have been my favorite part besides the ribs. We got the key lime pie, although I do still really wanna try the banana pudding too. It had a good mix of tartness and sweetness. And it really doesn't need the strawberry syrup. But we did try the strawberry syrup and that was also really good. It kind of tasted like watered down strawberry jam, but in a good way. I liked that it actually tasted like real strawberries, and it wasn't sickly artificially sweet.

    Was out and about for the holiday and wanted to grab something quick from this food truck park. Brisket (2 good slices under there), pico, tomatillo salsa, avocado, & cotija. Brisket was on point, and everything was scratch made including the tortillas. Was worth every bit of $7.00 less

    I love AUS food truck parks - lots of great options for fabulous BBQ and tacos, and Jim's is another fantastic truck serving Smokey goodness. We ordered a 2 meat meal with 2 side plate, also 1/2 lb of turkey. They smelled and tasted so good... love the smokiness and tenderness of their meat, and oh my, mac & cheese...! Heavenly. Highly recommended!

    I was so hungry all day today. I had a big breakfast, but as soon as I got to work, I was snacking, I ended up eating my lunch early cause I just couldn't shake the hunger feelings. On the way home, I stopped at Jim's Smokehouse. Their brisket is amazing. Their Mac & cheese is creamy and gooey. I love everything I've ever gotten here. The brisket is my favorite. What a gorgeous night, sitting outside at one of their many picnic tables. Just enjoying a Jim's brisket sandwich. The meat is juicy with added bbq sauce. Pickles and onions come on the side. Mac & Cheese is creamy, rich, hot and gooey. About half way through, I really started feeling full. I ended up eating the meat inside and leaving the rest of the bun. And I brought back home about half the Mac & cheese. Completely satisfying. Great service. Great food. And a very good value. Parking lot is small. It's shared with a bar and 3 other food trucks. It's always packed on the weekends.

    In recognition of National Food Truck day, I decided to try another food truck today...Jim's Smokehouse. This morning Yelp sent out a listing of the top 100 food trucks and Jim's Smokehouse is #2 nationwide (4.9 rating with 259 reviews...pretty impressive!!!). So, why not give it a whirl? I am very proud of the mark that Austin is making on the food scene with several Michelin restaurants and now the #2 rated food truck. Jim's Smokehouse is relatively close to where I live with emphasis on "relatively". Jim's is located on Highway 620, which is so deep on 620 you almost feel like you're driving to another city. It is situated in a food truck park that is more linear than circular. I met Brad Yerkes today (owner) and he is Austin proud of his food truck. He burst with passion regarding his BBQ. I asked him why he has such a high Yelp rating and he said that the people love his BBQ. He allowed me to sample the brisket (no fat present), two types of sausages and a piece of rib. He also allowed me sample the chili, which was seasoned well but a bit too spicey for me. All the meats tasted good, but I settled on the ribs and turkey (trying to be a bit healthy now). He said his most popular sides were the mac n cheese and scalloped potatoes, so I bought small portions of both (I know...not healthy; will go back to healthy tomorrow...lol). His small cups are small, not thimble size like some other BBQ places. After we ate the meats and sides, we are certainly Jim's Smokehouse raving fans!!! The ribs were the standout for me...sweet and tangy at the same time and super tender (meat was falling off the bones). The turkey was good also. The mac n cheese was hot, cheesy and the perfect flavor. Those scalloped potatoes were super yummy...thinly sliced, and not greasy...so, so good. There is outdoor bench seating if you want to eat your food at the food truck park. Also, there is some open parking if you "grab and go" with your food. Important to note, there were no lines close to 1:30 pm, which was a pleasant surprise. The only downside of Jim's is that it is far out Highway 620...hope he expands and bring his food truck more central Austin. However, it is so worth the drive. Highly recommend Jim's smokehouse!!!

    Tomorrow dinner. Yum. Lean brisket. :D

    Darn good Q! Jim's is pushing stellar meats and other eats out of his food truck. With the actual smokehouse just behind, everything is fresh and legit. My fav is a special request: lean brisket, chopped, with sauce and bun on side. I build my own. :D The absolute perfect balance of smoke, sweet, and tang. So happy to have them by Lake Travis. Also recommend their bomb mac & cheese, sriracha slaw, and do I need to even suggest "bacon jam?" Come on! All drool worthy. Good prices, high quality, the nicest staff ever - heart them!. 5 stars all the way! Order ahead online for even faster pickup. Several shaded picnic tables to use if you want to "dine in." If you want to add a cold adult libation, simply grab one from Rock House Bar & Trailer Park on the same site. Cheers y'all! Please, tell 'em I sent ya. ;) Support local. Support small.

    May 8, 25 - Yelp just published their Top 10 barbecue spots in the USA. Jim's Smokehouse is listed as #1. Heck, they made Yelp's "2023 Top 100 Best Places to Eat in Texas." I've been trying to tell y'all folks. Get on over there and tell them Kelly sent you.

    2 meat 2 sides - $23 at time of review (12/2024)
    Lizzie G.

    Mom and I stopped here and grabbed a 2 meat 2 sides plate which was $23 at time of review. There wasn't a line late in the afternoon on a Saturday and even though it's December it was hot and now the trees have less leaves. There are two shaded tables at this hour and was occupied by employees or friends of the employees because after they smoked for 20 min they went inside the food truck and we didn't see them again before we left... and the other is directly in wind of smoker. We ordered the beef brisket and pork ribs, with sides Mac n cheese and green bean casserole. Everything was great but I wish we had specified lean brisket because I hate super fatty meat and that's what we got. The ribs fell off the bone with ease and had great flavor. I liked both the sauces but mom wasn't a fan of either of them.

    The five star rating is a huge deal--we had to give this food truck a try. Our experience was positive. The food was good, but nothing that would be outstanding or extraordinary. Staff are super warm and friendly. Patient too, as I took forever to decide what I wanted to eat. $7 sliced brisket taco was a good deal, with quality slices of meat. The flavors were on the bland side though, so I'd recommend getting one of the juicier items, like sandwiches. $4 Mac and cheese [side] was bland and meh, so skip this side. $12 chopped brisket sandwich is THE thing to get. It was massive--so much meat, that you will be full or be taking leftovers home. Meat was good quality--not too fatty. Chopped meat was drowning in BBQ sauce. I love copious amounts of sauce, so I appreciated this. BBQ is very sweet & sour, so be aware of its pronounced flavor, which might be overwhelming for some. It gets coooool up there in the mountains, so sitting outside, at the picnic tables, by the food truck will get cold. We were grateful that we were encouraged to go inside the nearby bar and consume our food there.

    Visiting ATX, had to have bbq. Found this place. Awesome bbq. Had the Dino-Beef rib, pork ribs, brisket, and burnt chicken ends. You can eat at the bar next door. They being the food to you and you can enjoy a cold beer at the bar inside. Great hospitality at the bar. Got free entertainment watching the bartender kill flies with a salt gun. Nice guy and super friendly. Highly recommend getting great bbq and cold refreshments next door.

    I'll pass on Jim's Smokehouse in the future... I consider it a rip-off....mediocre bbq for a ridiculous price.....BEWARE...This is what I got for my $23 two meat plate....one slice of brisket, and 2 small ribs. WTf?? I'll stick with Rudy's BBQ.... I always thought food truck prices would be a good deal...since they don't have brick and mortar store fronts. BUT...apparently not...they are out to screw everyone! Jim's Smokehouse is no exception....a RIP-OFF. $23 for THIS?? One (and I mean ONE) slice of brisket, and 2 small ribs....GIVE ME A BREAK! WHAT A RIP-OFF

    This food truck has a nice view as it is by the road. It has plenty of seats as there were other food trucks behind them. The service was nice. There were two guys who were in the truck working on food. The food came out about 10-15 minutes. It was not that busy, but I can see how only two employees it can be. The food was delicious! The meats were tender and soft. However, it was not warmed up enough which we thought maybe they were not as fresh as we thought. The Mac and cheese was just okay. The scalloped potato had to be the highlight of the dishes we ordered. The scalloped technique created a different texture than regular potatoes, which we enjoyed a lot. The hassinator potato was delicious, and the Mexican twist on it with pico and pickled jalapeño really turned up a notch from regular bbq places. Overall, we enjoyed this place and would still come back again!

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.

    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). I cannot comment on how this place stacks up to other BBQ spots in Austin, but I very much enjoyed the beef ribs.

    PRO TIP: If you're ordering for take-out, call the restaurant directly to place your order! When I…read morewent to go pick up my order, the cashier was graciously enough to inform me that their website is powered through DoorDash so if you order online, all the prices are unfortunately higher than their menu...so unfortunate to hear :( As for the food, I ordered the 3 Piece White Meat Chicken Plate, which came with 2 chicken breasts and 1 wing (they surprisingly give the full wing), and it comes with toast, baked beans, and cole slaw be default. You can exchange the default sides for some other options for a little extra charge. It was wonderful to see how generous the portion sizes were, including the sides! The chicken was perfectly friend and breaded in my opinion while keeping the white meat tender -- it was still like that even after I put the leftovers in the air fryer the next day. The baked beans were very flavorful and the sweetness complimented the savory chicken well. The cheer on top moment was the fact that the chicken was seasoned with a spicy seasoning so there was a bit of a subtle spicy aftertaste in each bite! I'll definitely be back again! :)

    If I could give this place 100000 stars, I would. We were seated immediately and ordered their 2…read morepiece dark meat snack and plate with extra sides of baked beans, potato salad, and mac n cheese. How do they make their chicken that tender and juicy?? Also, why are the potato salad and mac n cheese the best I've ever had?? Our total came out to be ~$26, without tip. 5/5 Overall, great service, great food, and great experience! Parking is a bit hard since it's in downtown, but there is a parking garage across from the restaurant and it's only $5 for 0-2 hours, which I think is the best you can find. 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!

    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.
