Stopped in for some lunch after a day of hunting. Great selection and very reasonable prices. I had the smoked turkey and Pitmaster Peppers. Turkey had great flavor and peppers had a kick. Highly recommend this place. read more

The kids and I stopped here for an early luinch on the way home from a 3-day camping trip at Guadalupe River SP. After 3 nights of smelling campfire, the bbq craving was full on. The environment is really cool, very well designed. Even the rest rooms are great. Loved the rustic but classy vibe to everything. We really enjoyed the food we had, brisket, ribs and sausage. The kids appreciated that the sausage was not at all peppery like some can be, but it did have tons of flavor. The brisket was tender, moist and smokey. Ribs were well seasoned, off-the-bone just the right way, and delicious. At the pickel/onion/bread station, they have some great marinated onions with black pepper. I saw lots of people getting sandwiches, perhaps due to lunch time of our visit, and I think I'll get one too if my next visit is around lunch time, they looked great! We will definitely make this a normal stop with in the area, it was unanimous. read more

Saw all the great reviews and decided to try this place. Ordered the sliced brisket sandwich and potato salad. The brisket was dry and flavorless. The potato salad was the same. As a previous reviewer mentioned, the Bbq sauce was very weak. Maybe they were just having a bad day. The restaurant only had one table occupied with a few people eating at 1230. The Red Bud next door was standing room only. read more

Old 300 BBQ is where its at! Allen is an absolute master! We ordered this BBQ through Goldbelly and it couldn't have been any better. It tasted as if we were sitting right there eating and listening to the live music. The Brisket is melt in your mouth! I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who loves BBQ. read more

Drove all the way from san antonio and they would even serve me to go food because they had a party,,, it's a Friday night during regular business hours and no food for customers that drive from an hour away! I really feel like they could of taken care of us but instead the manager closed the door and just said sorry after I explained how far we drove.Super disappointed and I own a salon in san antonio with all 5 star reviews AK Lounge and I can't believe this happened,their food may be good but management sure isn't! I even called to talk to the manager to see if they would reconsider and still a no go! If I was the gm or owner I wouldn't have a manager like that she actually blamed the gm for booking the party on the patio! read more

We stopped here before to get full before drinking lots of beer at Real Ale. I judge a BBQ joint off their brisket and their brisket was spot on. We ordered half normal brisket and half brisket tips and it was great. I left no morsel of chicken on the half chicken order. It was super tender. The jalepano sausages were tasty too. Onions, pickels and bread are free. Their BBQ sauce was a little weak but a lot of great BBQ joints in Texas have soso suaces. Fill your belly here before going to Real Ale. read more

Be aware that the BBQ stuffed potato does not include brisket but instead is made of their. "Mystery Meat" with BBQ sauce. My husband and I ordered this and specified brisket as our meat and the cashier didn't bother to tell us it was different. This only matters because my husband is gluten intolerant and the sauce sometimes includes some ingredient that is not wheat free. The young lady who brought out the order said it included pork as well. The food was good, but we won't know for a few hours whether there was any problem with the sauce. I would have loved to have tried the brisket but we have lots of bbq places around Austin so no big deal. read more

Best chicken I've ever had! Mac 'n cheese fabulous too as well as other sides! Staff friendly & efficient!

This is the best BBQ I've ever had, definitely try the Akaushi Brisket. I will definitely be back next time I'm headed to hill country. The pecan cobbler is legit, reminds me of my mommas homemade pecan pie. read more

New to Blanco and I love BBQ. This is the place to Eat if your hungry and if you like chicken, come early cause everyone loves it. Devil Eggs are just like I make mine...DELICIOUS. They lose money every time I come because I get the"all you can eat Pinto Beans." It ain't BBQ unless have Beans to go with it. My wife and I have been there 3 times and we're never disappointed, Brisket Sausage and fixin's are all great. You get what you pay for and the food is well worth every penny. read more

This place was hopping on a Saturday afternoon. Service was very friendly and food was great. They do not have a "plate dinner" on the menu, but they are more than happy to create one for you. Will not hesitate to stop again if hunger strikes while we are passing through Blanco. read more

Come hungry because you'll want to eat a lot! The brisket falls apart in your mouth and the bottomless beans are delicious. I'll be back and look forward to checking out the live music out back. read more

Old 300 BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Blanco, Texas

Have been here a number of times, enjoy it. Glad it's in Blanco, and plan to go much more often when I finish my home's construction. Food really is good. One thing I'd note, though, is I've had good pickles and was very disappointed by the flavor of the pickles - took one bite and tossed it aside. Terrible, same toxic sour you get out of any jar in the grocery store. Only a few great places have great pickles, usually in a deli, and this place could benefit by getting a good pickle (add garlic, less vinegar). The only store-bought pickle that starts to come close to a good deli pickle is Boar's Head Kosher Dill, but that's even when i dump out half the vinegar water, fill up with clear water, and add two cloves of crushed garlic and let it sit for a week or two. If Old 300 got a good pickle, it would be fabulous and quite the draw. read more

I was back again on 08/31/14 and gee, this place is GREAT. My friend and I shared a plate of ribs and sliced beef. We also shared the creamed corn, potato salad and an appetizer of deviled eggs. The eggs were delicious. We took some home. The creamed corn and salad were just right. But the BBQ was really good and flavorful. I highly recommend this place when passing through Blanco!! read more

OK folks... not even Coronavirus can keep us from this BBQ! We decided to take a drive to Blanco (from Austin) today... best decision ever! Since the virus pandemic was still in full swing, we placed our order by phone once we had arrived at the restaurant. The Old 300 Staff could not have been more accommodating, delivering our food straight to our car. We ordered brisket, pork loin, chicken, and turkey for our meats - and potato salad and cole slaw sides. It was all FANTASTIC! We ordered enough for several meals, as we could eat Old 300 BBQ every day of the week! The chicken was moist, perfectly seasoned and fell-off-the-bone tender. The brisket had the most amazing flavor and ultra, ultra tender! I cannot say enough great things about this place! If I could give it 10 stars, I would! Worth the drive from ANYwhere and worlds above the rest. Highly recommend! read more

I was just passing through Blanco and discovered Old 300 BBQ. The brisket was tender, juicy and very tasty. Unlike many other bbq places it was not overcooked and dry. The pinto beans and coleslaw were excellent. The service was friendly and prompt but I dined Wednesday around 1630. I did not try other menu items but my food was excellent. Old 300 continues the Texas tradition of only serving tasteless mass produced white bread which is my only complaint. Prices are competitive with Black's bbq but I like the Old 300 brisket and beans better. read more

Great value for barbecue lunches. I got the special and it was a little more than I could finish. Tasted great and hit the spot.

Delicious EVERY time we go!!! Brisket and Sausage is really really good! And the Mac and Cheese is ridiculously good!!

Awesome BBQ. Had the brisket, ribs and turkey. Took it to go and friendly waitstaff packed everything up nice. Worth the drive to Blanco!

By far the best BBQ we have had. The akaushi beef ribs melt in your mouth. The brisket was superb. If you're hankering for BBQ, it's worth the trip to Blanco, Tx. Bonus: There is also a reserved parking spot for Chuck Norris read more

Old 300 BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Blanco, Texas

Stopped in after hiking. We try to make it a point to always eat somewhere we do not have locally. Went in and got 2 sausage sandwiches to go with a side of avocado wedges and cobbler. At first I saw the price of $8 per sandwich and freaked out. Until we got the sandwiches. Basically a full hoagie roll with about 4 layers of sausage each. Tried the sweet and hot sauce and it was fantastic. Fried avocado wedges are outstanding. Peach cobbler again, outstanding. Next time we will probably split a sandwich but no complaints. :). Except the fact that I checked in and got the 10% coupon after we ordered. Next time ;). Highly recommend this place. read more

A very delicious BBQ joint in the heart of Blanco, TX. Some of the best BBQ I have had in Texas.

Stopped in for a quick bite before heading to a day on the río and let me tell you, what a great way to start a great day. The country style eatery has casual, friendly energy and the staff serves with a smile. The brisket was tender, flavorful, and oh boy the BBQ sauce ties it off with a delicious bow. I am a BBQ fanatic and this place is defiantly a top 5. #BBQnation read more

I'm a born Texan, so I've had my share of BBQ. This is hands down this best BBQ I've ever had. Don't tell my husband.

Excellent. What a cool surprise, stopped in on my way to Austin. Live music - real Texas feel. Bbq was excellent - better than Rudy's. Not a typical Bbq place. read more

We are new to Blanco and have been wanting to try our local eateries. We ordered from Old 300 yesterday during Corona virus semi- shutdown. Service was great, ribs get a 5, brisket and sausage about 4.5, corn and coleslaw scored 5. Probably our favorite creamed corn ever. We look forward to going back when they can be fully open again. read more

A BIG thank you to Old 300. We had them cater our wedding this weekend and the food was a big hit! Everyone raved about the quality of the food. My brother in law, who has traditionally disliked BBQ, cleaned off his plate. The guests complimented the flavor, tenderness of the brisket, moistness of the turkey, and the spicy BBQ sauce. We ordered sausage, brisket, and turkey with beans and coleslaw. read more

El heffe was amazing. Lots of delicious brisket. Lots of flavor. Service was great. You walk in and feel like you are with friends. Baked. Potato bbq stuffed ehh nothing special but I love a potato. read more

Well it may be the only bbq I've had in Texas but I can say it's the best bbq of my life. Maybe i need to get to Texas more often. The experience of watching the chef pull the slab of meat out of the smoker? Holding bin? And slice portions off to order seemed really authentic. The Chuck Norris was tender and flavorful and ginormous. A really good value for $10. Hubby got the signature brisket which was off the hook tasty. The house spicy bbq sauce was great. The potato salad was solid. The peach cobbler had great caramelization to it. The staff were friendly but not fake and seemed to run like a well oiled machine. One staff person seemed to go out of her way to make sure an older gentleman got his "fresh coffee." What a sweetheart. Highly recommend. read more

The staff here at Old 300 really know how to do hospitality. I had a party of 10 catered in Blanco and it was absolutely delicious. Not only was everything exactly right, Shelly selflessly made a stop for us at the market to grab a couple of things we forgot on the trip! I can not express how thankful I am for this exceptional service. If you find yourself in Blanco, you should definitely stop here for a bite! read more

Real BBQ. No frills!! Brisket as good as it gets. Period. Rode from Austin on a Monday in the rain w/ Cuz'n Jeff. Walrus was fishing. Monday special is a giant beef rib. Salty, smoky, fatty PERFECTION. thank heavens cuz'n was drivin home! Get the Mac n cheese. Cole slaw & hospitality was very friendly. Ima go check on Stan. read more

Five stars for the pork ribs as they were fantastic. Perfectly cooked with a nice slightly salty rub. Definitely recommend them. The sliced brisket was also very good, but not as good as the pork ribs. Nicely smoked but not quite as flavorful as some other BBQ joints in the hill country. The potato salad and creamed corn were both good. The pinto beans were good and peppery. Drop in a few sliced jalapeños and they are fantastic. Also, beans are all you can eat. The Spicy Texas BBQ sauce was best for the meats in my opinion. Most menu items are a la carte. Order your meat by weight and pick sides separately. They have sandwich options as well. Prices are very reasonable and they seem to give a little more meat than what you actually order. I ordered 1/3 lb of sliced brisket and it seemed a little closer to 1/2 lb. We will definitely stop back in next time we visit the Blanco, TX area. read more

Be prepared to wait a really long time for their food. Went in for carry-out. Ordered right away while my family was waiting outside in the Texas heat. I'm sitting there for 15 minutes and I hear another customer complaining about the wait times. Turns out there was a 30 minute wait for AFTER you ordered your food. And nobody behind the counter thought to tell the customers. Really bad service. read more

Gotta give this place credit. Was in Bulverde and always looking for local BBQ places. Read Yelp reviews which were mediocre but I gave it a chance anyway. I went with El Jefe and it was great. Huge sandwich with 1/2 lb angus brisket and 1/4 lb jap sausage. While I like a bit more bark and deeper smoke flavor...the sandwich was still very, very good. Side of beans also which had free refills in dining room. Will definitely be planning a stop again next time in San Antonio (from Austin) to give some of other specialty sandwiches a try. read more

I went to visit friend at rehab center yesterday and invite her to eat out at the Old 300 BBQ. I was shocked after I open the sandwich beef brisket. My friend order sandwich with lean meat beef brisket sandwich. She fat half of it. The meat was dried like over cook. We all are senior. It is not healthy for to have all fat like that. When we talked . They were unprofessional said why don't you tell them lean meat with trim fat out. And showed attitude that we bother them. The food I was over cook, bad attitude of services. The food are salty. We will not go back that place. All of us are senior whAtever they did they will deserve the same. read more

The food was great, the cream corn and Mac & cheese were delicious. The facilities were clean, and the staff was friendly.

The Old 300 is becoming quite famous for Blanco passerby's. However, as a nearby resident, I eat there several times a week and the quality and staff never disappoint. The Pit-masters take their job seriously but the atmosphere is low key with high end barbecue and fun. read more
