Second time eating here. Casual ambience. Order at the counter then pick it up when its done. I…read moreordered the 1/3 pound brisket with 2 sides (potato salad and barbecue beans). Service was quick and cordial. I am not a brisket expert. I just look for tender pot roast taste and texture with a gentle smokiness. It fell apart as I ate it. Since I prefer lean, mine wasn't really juicy - I got it just the way I like it. The barbecue beans and potato salad were both good, just the way I like it. Now, back to some more eating.

Had the best lunch! My first time here and it didn't disappoint…read more Every bite was flavorful. The brisket, tender, juicy, and so delicious. Mac & cheese was my favorite for sure. Creamy, and cheesy. Brussels sprouts, so good. Just love that charred flavor, loved them. Peach cobbler was really good. Not too sweet. I couldn't stop eating it up. I couldn't get enough. Felt like I was going to have to roll out of there. (The blueberry girl from Willie Wonka) So much food was left over, so I packed it all up and had it for lunch the next day. Sat at the high bar, and watched people come in. I had my head phones on just listening to my tunes, in my own little world, enjoying some of the best BBQ of my life. Totally my new favorite spot. Lots of seating inside. Outside seating as well. And the parking lot is decent too. You can park in front and on the side of the building.

Great prices and great portions! Super quick service!…read more I came by during the lunch time rush, but nothing felt rushed at all! It was a good calmness to the storm and they were able to get everything out in a timely manner. The weather was cool enough that I could sit outside, and honestly, this was a great bbq experience while I visited Texas! The brisket was so tender and fell apart when I would bite into my sandwich! Well seasoned and cooked too!

Lazy G BBQ Company in Cedar Park is exactly what it sounds like: lazy. For a BBQ joint in Texas,…read morewhere the standard is high, this place is embarrassingly bad. Rudy's BBQ should be the baseline, yet Lazy G doesn't even reach that. I ordered the ribs and brisket, hoping for something decent, but both were far below average. The brisket was especially disappointing--you could see the congealed fat right in the slices (see pictures). Serving meat at the right temperature is BBQ 101, and their failure here made the texture and flavor a cold, greasy mess. The sides weren't any better. The cucumber salad was bland, with just a dusting of dill and no seasoning whatsoever. Adding salt and vinegar should be a no-brainer, but apparently, even the basics were too much effort here. I was excited to try the smoked mushroom side (as a mushroom lover), but it was downright unpleasant. There was zero smokiness, and the sauce tasted like a watered-down BBQ sauce, giving the button mushrooms a soggy, unappetizing texture. The BBQ sauce was another letdown--it tasted like bottled Sweet Baby Ray's. For a BBQ place, using (or at least mimicking) store-bought sauce is the ultimate red flag that they just don't care. Even at $22 for a two-meat plate, the quality doesn't justify the price. In short, Lazy G BBQ Company doesn't just fall short--it doesn't even try. If their goal was to live up to their name, they succeeded; this food is lazy, uninspired, and, frankly, not worth your time or money.

I would go back just for that pork belly with the black pepper bark! OMG…read more....... My husband never eats mac and cheese and I'll be darned if he didn't finish my Trashy Mac and Cheese for me that evening! Finally! Some mac and cheese that is actually delicious and creamy. The toppings of brisket, bbq sauce, french onions and jalapenos all stirred together makes each bite a little slice of heaven. WOW! The next morning he said, "I kept telling myself I need to leave a little bit more for Lee Lee but I kept opening it back up and eating more until it was all gone!" Good thing I had my bites right when we arrived at our hotel because I was so hungry. My husband ordered sliced brisket and we lucked out and got a few of the brisket burnt ends. They weren't all "candified" like a lot of the other bbq places serve; but they were smoky and delicious. I also enjoyed the potato salad. We were excited to order the smoked mushrooms but honestly, they could have used a bit more flavor for me. You could just tap the salt shaker and it would have been fine. I appreciated the creative side dish and love how the bbq scene has doubled down on the side hustle! It was cold out so we sat on the enclosed patio that had heaters and were very comfortable. We order a couple of beers and waited for our food. The service was friendly. This was a nice dining experience.

107 Yelp Reviews with a 4.7/5.0 rating...real or not...that was the question!…read more Bigg Belly BBQ is located in a food truck in the food truck park at the intersection Anderson Mill Road and Pond Springs Road. Today, I finally got an opportunity to taste this highly rated BBQ. People...the hype is real!!! We purchased a turkey leg, sausage, brisket (what they're known for) and chicken. We also got two sides of potato salad and dirty rice. I am not a big fan of brisket. However, the owner allowed me to have a sample of the brisket. I fell quickly, madly in love with the brisket. The brisket is so flavorful, tender and moist. So, so good!!! Next, I tried the turkey leg. The meat literally fell off the bone. Yummy to the Nth degree!!! Now, let me talk about this sausage...I have never eaten sausage this good. The sausage was (yes was...we ate it all!) dense, yet moist and super tasty. This sausage did not have a spec of grease. I think I ate most of the sausage. The chicken was also super moist and tender...made you want to slap yourself. The sides were good, however, the standouts without a doubt were the meats. The owner/chef was very personable, and highlighted the preparations associated with his menu items. He created a welcoming and chill environment... I highly recommend trying Bigg Belly BBQ...you will certainly enjoy your dining experience. Pro tip: Sunday and Monday Bigg Belly BBQ is closed. Also, the number listed on the Yelp website is for their catering business. I submitted corrections to Yelp today.

If you're in the Austin area and craving some authentic soul food, you HAVE to check out Whip My…read moreSoul! My husband and I were craving soul food, and one of my coworkers recommended this spot. The moment we arrived, Antonio greeted us outside, opened the door for us, welcomed us in, and made us feel right at home. His customer service was top-notch from the very beginning. He walked us over to the ordering counter and gave us some great recommendations after I told him I wanted to try the oxtails and the cheesy mac & cheese shrimp egg rolls. He also gave us their special red sauce... and WOW. It was absolutely delicious! We ended up dipping everything in it because it paired perfectly with every bite. We loved it so much that we went back for another cup, and Antonio happily gave us another one on the house. That sauce is seriously addictive! Now let's talk about the food. Every single thing we ordered was packed with flavor. I actually got so full I couldn't even finish my plate--and that's saying something because it was THAT good. My husband is a huge soul food fan and a real food critic, so I was waiting to hear what he'd say. Surprisingly (and that's rare!), he didn't have one negative thing to say. He absolutely loved everything. The oxtails were fall-off-the-bone tender, rich, and full of flavor. The rice soaked up every bit of that delicious gravy, and honestly, it was addictive. It was so good that my husband actually put his fork down and started eating the oxtails with his hands... and he NEVER does that in a restaurant! The red beans and rice were smoky, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. My husband LOVES red beans and rice, and he couldn't stop talking about how good they were. Before we left, my husband even walked back up to the counter just to tell Antonio how amazing everything was. Antonio thanked us, invited us to come back, and we absolutely will! Amazing food, outstanding customer service, generous portions, and such a welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for authentic soul food that leaves you wanting to come back, I can't recommend Whip My Soul enough. 5/5 -- We'll definitely be back!

We got 2 x 3 Wings & 3 Tender w/fries and 4 Shrimp & 2 Chicken Wings w/fries. In addition, we ordered 2 Cheezy Mac & Shrimp Egg Rolls and 2 Oxtail Egg Rolls. All of the food was great! Very tasty! The letdown was the Caramel Cake slice that was soooooo looking forward to eating warm with some vanilla bean ice cream! Unfortunately, it was very DRY! I ate 1/2 and gave the other 1/2 to my husband. I was so disappointed!

The biryani was especially good -- the chicken was moist, flavorful, and literally falling off the bone. The paneer tikka masala was also a standout and full of flavor. Portion sizes were generous and the prices felt like a great value for the quality and amount of food you get. The only thing I'd personally like to see changed would be fountain drinks and ice water instead of canned or bottled drinks, but that's a pretty minor thing overall. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

All marinated items are prepackaged and the ingredients are readily available in a bound laminated book This was SO helpful when looking for gluten free options. We decided on jerk marinated chicken and a steak. In addition I found the much coveted Dubai chocolate bar and had to give it a try. YUM! The jerk chicken was definitely spicy but perfectly balanced with flavor. The steak was of great quality. Definitely a must come back spot! Oh, and the service was wonderful. An interesting Halal spot close to home!!

Chill spot with surprisingly good Korean food…read more Great late-night spot to eat with friends and family. Legit casual comfort Korean food and a few Japanese options. There are two private karaoke rooms. Service was friendly and attentive. We started with some pork belly skewers / yakitori. There's a minimum of two. Decent-sized juicy flavorful pieces of pork belly. The spicy pork was good; tender and flavorful, but it was a bit oily on the bottom. The yangnum chicken wings had a good, bold flavor and were fairly large. The soy garlic could have had more sauce. We enjoyed the wings, but they could be juicier. It was a bit pricey at $28 for 15 wings. Definitely a great late night food option.
