    Beef tartar
    Jay C.

    When KBBQ doesn't "hit". I'm a huge fan of kbbq so it's not like this is a first timer review. Dinner for two here is between $150-$200 depending on what you get. First, the good: the servers offer to change the grills out frequently and that is needed because they get nasty fast here. The seating situation is not bad either, the place is big and open. The beef belly and pork belly were pretty good. The meh: The banchans were hit or miss. Some where tasty and others felt kinda flat, bland, or lower quality. The fresh water eel had a weird consistency but tasted good. The not great: Paying $23 more on top of the AYCE price for ribeye that doesn't taste the best. It kinda looked like they were passing short rib off as ribeye to be honest. The bad: A lot of the meats had unnatural consistency from the over use of tenderizer. The salmon had a weird orange color and tasted awful. There were only a few banchans offered. Usually when paying $150+ I'd expect better sides. I felt like the low quality meat for the price would be the only reason I wouldn't bother to come back.

    Y'all, I love me some Korean BBQ! And this is one of my favorite locations. Not only is the food super delicious, The staff is super friendly. I've dined in here several times and I've ordered Uber eats several times and now I'm ordering takeout for the first time. You just walk in up to the counter, You're always greeted quickly and with a friendly face. Place your order, have a seat and the food comes out within 10 minutes or so. On this visit, I was given a complimentary glass of their cinnamon tea to enjoy while I waited on the food. It was good, But it was strong cinnamon and sweet. I love the barley tea, It's mild and has good health benefits. Anywho, I always order the japchae appetizer. You get so much and it is absolutely delicious. You can tell that they make it fresh. I also love their house salad, also very fresh and such great flavor in the dressing. For to go We ordered the LA galbi and chicken teriyaki, both come with bonchon and rice. You get so much food. I love all of their bonchon!! For dine-in, They have so many tables available, And they do a really good job keeping the table cooking smoke in check. So when you walk in you don't smell burnt food or cooked food or smoke. I definitely recommend this Korean BBQ location. It's one of our faves and we'll go back again and again and again!!!

    I don't get the hype of these places tbh. They are expensive, you have to cook all the food yourself, and when the middle burner is just getting hot enough, the employees want to take it to be cleaned. The food was good but I felt wasn't amazing or anything to write home about and the service was a little strange with the almost unnecessary amount of employees that asked if we were okay. Just lemme eat! Overall, not bad, but probably won't go again. If it's your thing you'll probably like it but it's a no for me dawg.

    This place nails it every time and today was exceptional! The service from start to finish was so attentive. It was very busy and they still came to our table and made sure that our grill was replaced frequently, our sauces were filled, and our drinks were replaced. I've never had such fast and attentive service here, it really was a game changer. This spot is already a bop but after tonight this is going to be one of my favs. I hope they keep it up with the great food and service!

    We have been two times and each time the experience has been great! I love the robot that brings your dishes over. The servers are always helpful and pleasant. I brought my niece to try it out and she loved the bulgogi while I savored the LA ribs. So good! I usually like to be strategic and eat meat however I wanted to try the soup so we ordered the soybean paste soup to try. It was ok and the steamed egg was ok. Be sure to try the different meats. Parking can be difficult at times. It's a busy area and for some reason they drew the parking spots narrow so you will see vehicles taking up two spots. That won't stop us from coming back.

    Loved this place! It's so fun to find great Korean food. This place is nice because you can select the all you can eat BBQ or the entree options. I love myself an all you can eat Korean BBQ spot, but this time I went for something a little bit different and I tried the bibimbap. We absolutely loved the banchan, it tasted really good. The cheese corn was also a winner. This place can accommodate so many people, it's huge! It's located in a nice spot with a lot of Asian stores near by. I can't wait to come again!

    My first Kbbq since moving to Austin and I was not disappointed! I have had so many options living in Southern California and I wasn't sure how Austin's selection would be but I was delightfully surprised! Came at 7pm on a Saturday with no wait. Seated immediately and ordered the premium AYCE menu. Ordered wagyu brisket, prime rib, and ribeye for first round. The meat came via robot servers which was awesome. Servers were very attentive to taking orders, refills, and changing grills. Every meat was delicious as well as all the sides. Will definitely bring my guests here when they come to visit!

    We ended up in our new favorite Lamar strip mall -- we've been enjoying sampling all the different cuisines and stores here over the past few months -- and decided to try out K BBQ. Didn't know what to expect -- I'd only been to a Korean BBQ restaurant once before. We happened to be there for all-you-can-eat, which seemed like a decent deal, though my husband and I both knew we wouldn't be able to eat much. I recommend trying the cheese corn, and the bulgogi was my favorite. The service wasn't the best, but we did love the robots. I saw one celebrating someone's birthday, which seems like it would be a fun idea. I saw conflicting information on Yelp on whether you could take food home or not. One review said you could take cooked food -- and the menu said you get charged if it's over a certain weight. We had very little meat left, but we didn't want it to go to waste ... we asked our server for a to-go box, and he said, "We don't do to-go, and if I had seen this before I ran your check, I would have charged you." So ... charged us for food we couldn't take home? It doesn't really make sense. Just be aware.

    Eat all you can "A"

    Walked in to reserve. Easy! When we came in we were seated in a booth. Button accessible to call for help. Friendly staff. Just felt the all you can eat price wasn't quality choices. Food with flavoring was only applied sauce on top which looked hurried. The fire wasn't evenly distributed, the metal grill didn't look like it was the right material? The food was not cooking right even when we changed to different temps. Clean but you see an area turned storage when you go to the restroom. Not sure if this is a clean hazard standard. Servers were nice. Been to several ones I hope it's better next time we come by.

    Lunch date with my friend. It's been awhile since I came here last. I missed their salad but everything was delicious. We chose Type A for $39.99 per person and we definitely had plenty of selection. The robot that brings the food is pretty cool. The staff was friendly and attentive. Parking is a bit tricky since the plaza shares with many businesses be patient looking for parking. Definitely a must try.

As a recipient of the prestigious Texas Monthly Top 100 BBQ Award, the expectations were high--and for the most part, they were met. The venue itself provides a fantastic, relaxed vibe, complete with plenty of TVs and a music stage, making it the perfect spot for chilling out on a lazy afternoon or settling in for an evening hang. The Main Event: Pitmaster Excellence The true test of a Texas BBQ joint is the holy trinity, and here, they nailed the fundamentals: * Brisket: This was Texas BBQ as it should be. The brisket was super juicy, delivered a profound, deep flavor, and possessed a flawless, great bark that spoke to hours of skillful smoking * Spare Ribs: A study in contrast and texture. The ribs offered a satisfying "good pull"--firm enough to bite but still falling cleanly off the bone. The thick, peppery bark was beautifully balanced by a slight sweetness from a pepper jelly glaze, adding a layer of sophisticated flavor you don't always find. * Pork Belly Burnt Ends: These were pure decadence. Each bite provided a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth experience with a distinct and welcome hint of Fierce Whiskers bourbon woven into the smoky, fatty flavor. They are so rich and irresistible, you know you shouldn't eat too many, but good luck stopping. * Jalapeño and Cheese Sausage: This locally sourced link brought the heat with a good level of spice. The flavor was excellent, though the texture leaned slightly toward the processed side, which was the only minor drawback among the meats. The Supporting Cast: Sides A great plate of BBQ requires sides that stand up to the meat, and while two of these were stars, one needs a little work. * Mac & Cheese: An absolute winner. It was cheesy, creamy, and featured an excellent smoked flavor that permeated the dish. The slightly charred edges added a delightful textural counterpoint. * Hash Brown Casserole: This was a surprisingly strong contender, offering a nice assembly of savory flavors. The secret weapon was the corn flake topping, providing an unexpected but welcome crunch, complemented by a satisfying hint of bacon. * Creamed Corn: Unfortunately, this side was the weakest link. It tasted primarily bland, despite a slight peppery note. It desperately needs some fresh jalapeños mixed in to cut through the creaminess and add the essential Texas kick. Final Verdict The meat selection here is truly Top 100 worthy, excelling in technique, flavor, and execution (especially the Brisket and Burnt Ends). The atmosphere is perfect for a relaxed gathering. While the Creamed Corn missed the mark, the stellar Hash Brown Casserole and Smoked Mac & Cheese prove that their side game is usually strong. Come for the high-quality, authentic Texas barbecue, stay for the great outdoor patio.

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.

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.

    I *thought* I'd had good BBQ brisket before, but apparently I thought wrong, haha! This Austin…read moreinstitution absolutely blew. my. mind. with its incredibly simple yet perfectly executed 50/50 salt and pepper rub and low-and-slow smoke over cured post oak before resting and slicing. Ribs and sausage were excellent as well, and complimentary sauces, pickles, and white bread much appreciated. The meats sell out fast so get here early! The line is looong but 100% worth it. There's both indoor and outdoor seating in this small but mighty shop, and thankfully the tables turn over quickly so you shouldn't have trouble settling down once you get your food!

    So I finally decided to go try Franklins and brave the line. I arrived on a weekday at 1130am and…read morethe line was not bad. Maybe an hour. I love how people are giving this place a 1 star because they are popular and the line is long sometimes, I mean come one so stupid. This place is small and it's amazing how they can crank out as much bbq as they do. It's impressive. I got almost to the front of the line around 1230pm and they were already almost out of ribs, so go early. I got a 1/2lb of Brisket, 1/4lb of turkey, 3 bones of ribs, and one link of the jalapeño cheddar sausage, my side I did was potato salad. I'll give my honest review down below on each item. Brisket- 1000/10, best I have ever had. It was well seasoned, juicy, smoky, fatty in the right way and just so tender and delicious. Spectacular. Turkey- another 1000/10, it's so juicy and and tender. They season it but not heavily which is great since Turkey is a mild tasting meat. I would definitely get this again! Ribs- 6/10, and I love ribs. To me the seasoning on these was so thick it just overpowered the taste of the pork. All I could taste was pepper on it. It was good but I would personally pass on this item next time. Sausage- 1000/10, again so good. It was spicy due to the jalapeños but not overly, the cheese was nice and there was a good snap to the casing. The smoke added a nice touch to the fattiness of the sausage. Potato salad- 3/10, to me this was not a good take on potato salad. Not much texture in it like celery or something like that and all I could taste was vinegar. I like acid in my food but this is all I could taste. So it wasn't for me. Overall when I go next time I will be loading up on brisket, turkey and sausage! These items are amazing, maybe try another side, their beans looked really good. GO OUT AND EAT SOME BBQ!!

    This review is for their catering service. I work for a government entity and we are required to…read morereceive numerous quotes before choosing a vendor. We found Gebby's BBQ to be reasonably priced compared to other Austin BBQ restaurants. From the beginning, both Chris (The Owner and Master Pit Man) and Elizabeth to be extremely professional and prompt. Any questions or changes needed on the quote, they were on top of anything we needed. The day of the event, they arrived early as they said they would and set up quickly. The aroma of the food was wonderful throughout our venue. We had a handful of vegetarian/vegan employees and the offer a smoked vegetable tray with corn tortillas as one of their options. The food we chose was a 3 meat plate with 3 sides and cookies for the dessert. We chose Brisket, Turkey and Sausage. For the sides, we had Gouda Mac and Cheese, Creamed Corn and Beans. Everything was extremely delicious and the feedback I gathered from numerous employees was nothing but positive reviews on the food. They even allow us to KEEP the leftover food! This was awesome as we had a few bbq quotes that STATED that we could not keep the leftover food! Overall, our experience with them far exceeded our expectations and I would recommend them for your catering needs!

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