10 out of 5 stars! This was our first time. It's a true hidden gem. From the customer service to the food to the cleanliness. I highly recommend taking the scenic drive out to blanco. It's great for a Sunday getaway for the day. Their BBQ is on point! read more

Small place off the square, fast service, and lots of options for bbq meats. Park in town, shop, and then go get some bbq with the family.

some of the best brisket and smoked turkey breast, ever. great hospitality. The sides are simple, had beans and slaw, pretty good. The onions are sliced up thinly to go with the brisket. The bark on the brisket is outstanding. Had a cool home-brew to go with lunch. Well worth the time for a nice drive through the hills to enjoy some real good BBQ. read more

We couldn't come to Texas without having barbecue. There was a decent amount of parking available. Highly recommend stopping in if you find yourself in the area. The restaurant was very busy on a Tuesday which I took as a good sign. We waited in line for about 10 minutes which was fine as it gave us time to look over the menu and pick some drinks. We ordered 1.5 lbs of brisket, macaroni and cheese, pinto beans, and potato salad. After placing our order we found a seat and headed to the self service station to get our barbecue sauce (they offer a sweet and a spicy), pickled onions, sliced bread, and pickles. Before we knew it our food was being brought out to us. The brisket was tender, moist, and flavorful. My husband said it was the best brisket he has ever tried. The macaroni and cheese was creamy with a unique tang to it. The potato salad was absolutely my favorite!!! Just the perfect blend of flavors and probably the best potato salad I've ever had. The pinto beans were the only thing that was lacking flavor which was a bit disappointing, but the quality of the rest of our food made up for it. I had the sweet tea, which was also very good. We would definitely return the next time we are in town. read more

Old 300 BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Blanco, Texas

In town for the weekend and this place came up as a recommendation for BBQ. There were 4 of us and everyone had a different item and all were good with fast service. I'm not a big fan of wagyu beef, but they make some good brisket out it here. The place has plenty of seating for large groups. The service is walk up and they bring it to your table. You pretty much just make up your plate as you order with meats and sides. Overall it was good food and service. read more

I went here with my family and the service was great but the food was even better. The restaurant was nice inside as well and had a good vibe. I wasn't expecting to have some of the best barbecue I've ever had. read more

This was hand's down the worse BBQ my husband and I have EVER eaten. My husband had the sausage sandwich which was dry slices of sausage on a cold hot dog bun. I ordered the "chopped meat sandwich", and was told it was chopped beef and pork. Turned out to be a ground meat sandwich on a cold hamburger bun. Ugh! Decided I wasn't going to let them get by with it and returned it to the counter. They reluctantly returned my $15.14. read more

If you hate big, delicious brisket sandwiches, keep movin'! But if you love them, well, you're in luck! Old 300 BBQ's got you covered! My family and I got lunch to go as we passed through Blanco. They had all eaten at Old 300 BBQ before, but today was my first time trying it. Since we were gonna be on the road, we got sliced marbled brisket sandwiches with French fries and a few cobblers for sharing (peach, blackberry, and pecan). The sandwiches are HUGE! They come with soft, toasted buns and a nice pile of juicy, tender brisket! The meat was so tasty that I chose not to use sauce. That said, I hear the BBQ sauce is pretty good in case you like brisket that way. French fries had a nice texture and were super good! My sister, who considers herself a fries aficionado, absolutely loved them. The cobblers were fantastic too! My favorite was the peach cobbler, but the pecan was a close second. All in all, I liked this Hill Country gem, and if I ever find myself passing through Blanco again, I'll be ready to stop in for some of their delicious 'cue. read more

Not sure what is going on, but the last couple of times we have eaten at Old 300 BBQ, the ribs have been horrible and the brisket was not good. The ribs were tough and way over-seasoned and the brisket was the same. Brisket sandwich was served on a horrible hogie type bun. What is going on? Sad, because we drive an hour to dine-in. Won't be going back until something changes for the good. read more

Visited this place while visiting Blanco and what a great idea! This place has awesome brisket and let me say it tastes so good and is so tender, you Don't even need sauce. This place has great customer service but still can't stop talking about the brisket. You know they are usually good quality beef and they are cooking and preparing it right! Simply delicious and a must have here in Blanco. If you are stopping by or driving by, you must stop here. I'm not a local, but I will be definitely driving back and making the hour drive to get back here and come eat this tasty and delicious brisket again. This place is great!! read more

Old 300 BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Blanco, Texas

Two friends invited me to try this place and we ordered brisket, ribs, sausage, chicken, baked potato, Mac and cheese, and potato salad. We also tried two BBQ sauces and agreed the regular sauce was much better than the spicy one which was oddly sweet. The condiment bar was set up well with pickles, onions, and bread. The Mac and cheese was super dry, grainy and over cooked. The potato salad was okay. The sausage was delicious and we tried regular and jalapeño. The chicken was tasty as well but the ribs were on the dry side. The brisket had a great smoke ring but wasn't tender and was also dry. After paying nearly $90 including three medium iced teas we all agreed we won't be returning. read more

Rustic ambiance and nice size tables. I was going for briaket but they offered a burger. The burger was delicious! Had a side of coleslaw. Hubby had the brisket sabdwich so I was able to taste the delicious brisket, moist and no need for any sauce. I've had Lockhart's Kruez barbq who boast Their pickled onions amazing, best ever! Definitely coming back. read more

Came here after swimming at Blanco State Park and it hit the spot. We got the brisket and pork loin and three sides: green beans, fried okra, potato salad. All were great. The brisket was the best and I would highly recommend getting that if you come- I mean honestly, why would you come if you aren't going to get brisket? we went with our two year old and it was great for our family! read more

Old 300 BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Blanco, Texas

Pretty solid bbq. One of three restaurants that's open in Blanco texas I got the ribs, brisket and sausage. The ribs were exceptional! Very good and cooked to perfection. Ribs are not easy to perfect but old 300 bbq has done it. If you like rib this is the things to try. The jalapeño sausage tastes exactly like Rudys. Really good. The Burnt ends on the moist brisket were really good. There was tough parts as well. Over all the meats were a 10/10 Sides: potato salad was okay. The creamed corn was piping hot lol. Much better than the potato salad The real winner here was the banana pudding. My god it was so good. Damm I could eat a pint of that! Great jobs guys. I'll be back. If you are traveling through do yourself a favor and stood by. read more

Best BBQ and pickled onions ever! And I am a Texan with a lot of BBQ knowledge. Clean too

They are a bbq joint. But they don't have a 1 meat plate or 2 meat plate or 3 meat plate with sides on the menu like all other bbq places do. They sell meat sandwiches. No plates. I wanted a low carb meal... ie meat, I requested couple slices brisket and 2 Ribs with beans and slaw. They forced me to buy a certain amount of brisket and ribs. Don't remember details I was pissed off. Over $33 dollars for 1 person, I haven't been back. Prepare to be ripped off if you want a meat plate. read more

The best bbq deal on the planet .. big beef ribs on Saturdays . 14.89 .. interstellar n others 40.00+ . Bbq is great here !! Try the moist Angus prime brisket also .. great cordial staff also .. this place was in Austin be a line all day long . It's the good ! read more

300 is perfect in bowling and Old 300 BBQ is perfect! We were traveling and decided to give it a shot - good call!! The staff is very friendly and helpful. We ordered brisket and jalapeño sausage with green beans, coleslaw and Mac n' cheese. Let me first say - I'm a BBQ snob so I was of course skeptical. My wife it the ultimate Mac n' cheese snob - I can't count how many times she's taken a bite and pushed it away. The brisket was perfectly prepared - not too lean and not too moist - spot on! The jalapeño sausage had a really good - flavorful and juicy. Two hits to start with. The green beans were flavored well but not overly so and perfectly cooked - not mushy like some places serve. The coleslaw was a great combination of slight vinegar but also a bit creamy - I've not had any quite like it but I really enjoyed it. Their two BBQ sauces were also quite good - one a bit spicy and one a bit sweet - we liked them both. Of course no BBQ can go without pickles and onions. Now, at least 75% of BBQ joints simply cut up an onion and throw it out there - hey, it's an onion, right? Wrong! These onions were probably the best sweet onions I have had in many years! Now - the Mac n' cheese. It was fabulous! My wife grudgingly gave me a bite and it was amazing! The fact that she ate it all (and almost didn't give me any days it all). In her words 'this is the best Mac n' cheese I've had in a long, long time - maybe ever'. So there you have it! Maybe we'll come back on another day for dessert - if their desserts match their other food - it will be good! Oh - and they give a military discount as well! Can't kiss by coking here! read more

Some of the best Texas BBQ you will have. Their Willie Nelson sandwich is no joke. Brisket, pork loin and jalapeño sausage on a hoagie roll. You will struggle to eat it like a sandwich because it is so stuffed to capacity, but it is AMAZING. And, to be clear, everything else is amazing, too. When they have the Akushi brisket, there is nothing better. Their ribs are amazing and their chicken is legit, too. You can't go wrong here. read more

Old 300 BBQ - The Willie Nelson. - Barbeque Near Me - Blanco, Texas

Would love to review food but last two times I've gone they were already out of pretty much all the meat choices and that was at 6pm.

Great barbecue without a line out the door is hard to find, but I finally found this place! Awesome food and good vibes all around. The food is affordable and delicious. Portions are also huge. 1 lb of brisket and 1 lb of jalapeño sausage with a basket of okra and pint of mac & cheese was definitely enough food for 3-4 people (and I eat a lot when I'm at a BBQ restaurant). Make sure you try the spicy bbq sauce while you're here! read more

Absolutely worth the drive from Round Rock! Wow you cannot beat the prices! We ordered the brisket, sausage, coleslaw, & Mac n Cheese. All deliciousness! The brisket was moist, the sausage had great flavor. We loved both sauces the sweet and spicy. They give a generous portion of meat for the sandwiches. My husband and split it and we're stuffed..FYI. Definitely splittable sandwiches. I loved the coleslaw because it was not drenched in Mayo. We will definitely come back! read more

The Wagu brisket is fantastic and I will be making this a regular stop for lunch and dinner

Food: Pros - brisket was okay - turkey was good - Mac n cheese was good Cons - No to the "corn bread" drier than the Sahara. - banana pudding was okay. Tad sweet. - sausage was meh. - green beans were SALTY. Pricing was standard $$-$$$. Service was good. Repeat: No, I can get better BBQ closer to me. I'll miss the turkey though. read more

Service is Excellent, but the food is super bland and not very appetizing I came here because I saw a You Tube episode and the host was told that the brisket was the best BBQ meat they had on the menu by the owner. Lies!!!! read more

Here a born and bred Texan. I have eaten BBQ all over Texas. We take road trips everywhere and love stopping in small towns to eat BBQ. Old 300 BBQ takes the cake. The brisket and sausage was out of this world. And oh my goodness the burnt ends are to die for. I even asked for a chopped sandwich to go and told them I was driving back home to Georgetown for my husband. I asked for them to separate the bread so it wasn't soggy and that they did. Banana pudding is was like my nanner! Customer service is amazing. read more

Located in the heart of the downtown Blanco square this little BBQ joint is as good as you're going to find. This is a great spot for a country drive on a Sunday to get out of the city and it's some of the antique shops in Blanco that are nearby. The decorum inside is very uniquely Texas. You're going to like the spot I can guarantee it! Can't go wrong with the moist brisket or the deviled eggs. read more

My family and I stopped here on the way back from Johnson city after a day at the Science museum. We walked in and it was a great hometown vibe with a basic easy to follow menu. We ordered the family bucket and tried the brisket, ribs and sausage. Everything was very tasty but the ribs were a bit dry. The green beans and creamed corn were very good and kid approved. The staff was friendly and helpful and so were the fellow customers. We'd come back if ever in the area again. read more

Made the trip from SATX to Blanco just to try the food, and it was well worth the trip. I've been in Texas for 30 years, and this ranks as Top 5 BBQ that I've had. Service was also very friendly and top notch. Venue is well setup, although drinks and condiments area is a bit small so you'll have to wait your turn. Grab everything on your first go. read more

I stopped at this place as I was driving through town. I was very hungry and had a craving for some good Texas bbq! Upon entering the building I was greeted with a warm welcome. Upon inspecting the menu I decided to order one of their signature sandwiches called the "Farrah Fawcett". Pork loin, Turkey, and brisket all packed in a hoagie roll. This one was a looker for sure. However, I was expecting a bit more from the sandwich. In my opinion I felt that the meats lacked any kind of distinguishable smokiness. I tried mixing it up and used some sauce to kick it up a notch. I was happier with the taste but still felt it was missing something special. This is one of the times I wish we could do half ratings as I feel the restaurant is above average. I will have to come back and try again. read more

Wagyu brisket was excellent and okra was outstanding! The barbecue sauce was not as well as I liked it. It was a little too tangy vinegar and had to kick to it. But I would definitely go back to this place everybody there was super nice. read more

Well after visiting the Christmas lights in Johnson city (which is a must do at Christmas time) we were hungry and rolled on into Old 300. We knew it was going to be good because it smelled delicious when we got out of the car. We had wonderful sausage wraps, the kids gobbled their grilled cheese and brisket bits we shared, a huge brisket and sausage sandwich and cream corn. And I do not like cream corn, but as I tell my kids you have to try it, and oh my, I will eat that cream corn anytime!! Definitely a great place for lunch, dinner, late night pit stop or what have you. Also the bathroom is on my approved list. A wonderful spot all the way around and on the regular list. read more
