    I came for a bbq stuffed baked potato but they sadly didn't have any at the time. It was then that I saw they have nachos. Nachos with brisket! I love a good nacho and these were outstanding. The cheese sauce was a fantastic consistency and had lots of meat on top. Between two of us we were unable to finish the order. I can't wait to get more! Get there early because they do close at 8PM!

    Thinly sliced, dry, grey brisket with only a hint of a ring.

    I was aware of the 4.5-Star rating since last fall and had been wanting to give it a shot. So I decided to pop in while driving past last night. I don't like giving a 1-Star review, but this certainly warrants it. My belief is that the food should be just as good on a slow Tuesday as a busy Saturday. The brisket was dry and grey (see the picture below); smoked chicken salad was tasteless; sausage tasted store bought. The pulled pork was average, but again, very very dry. The jalapeno potato salad was good. I was literally the only person in the place on a Tuesday night and yet, it took about 15 minutes for my food to come out. I started to read the most recent reviews and still thought, certainly it can't be that bad. Until it was.

    Sweet little place with excellent food and service!

    WOW! We were pleasantly surprised by how amazing this place was! Decorated with many Hays County awards like "Best BBQ" and "Best Queso" we figured it wouldn't disappoint but we were totally blown away by the tenderness and the portion sizes. Real Texas BBQ y'all! I got the brisket nachos with their amazing hatch chili queso and it was phenomenal as was the jalapeño potato salad. This will always be a stop when we visit Austin!

    Brisket the way brisket is suppose to be made! Also... wrapped in an homemade flour tortilla?! Yes please Get the jalapeño potato salad and thank me later. Dip the sausage in the honey. Drink Big Red. Do it all and do it often

    Always great service! Food is always hot and yummy. Very accommodating for COVID19. I wouldn't change this place even if I could. Love it! I will continue to tell my friends and be back soon! Thank you.

    Sausage wrap jerky!

    I ordered a sausage wrap and the sausage was so well done it was like eating jerky. So disappointed! They were shriveled up barely the size of a finger like they had been sitting around for two days. Ca barely bite through it.

    Great people!

    We went out to Shugabees for the first time this weekend on our way to float the river - it was one of the best decisions we made that day! I had the pulled pork with the awesome mustard sauce and my boyfriend got the brisket. They wrap their tender and flavorful meat in wonderfully warm handmade flour tortillas - something very unique for a BBQ place (At least in my opinion). I got 1/4 lb. of meat and it was a huge portion, especially with the tortilla! Every bite was delicious. We also got the jalapeno potato salad - if you like a kick of spice, you will LOVE this potato salad!! It has so much flavor and texture, I was not disappointed. Then for dessert, we had the Beenana pudding. This dessert really hit the spot - it has nilla wafers on the bottom and top plus homemade whipped cream. Can't get much better than that! Plus, the owners are super sweet, friendly, and willing to answer as many questions as you have about the menu. They recently switched locations, so please go out there an give them the love they deserve! You won't regret it :)

It was…read moremissing cheese, this burger doesn't come with it so I had to ask for it after the fact. The BBQ sauce is delicious, the onion ring just right. The bun didn't fall apart. The fries could use a little seasoning that isn't just salt because they felt a little bland next to the burger. Oh, and it's less than $13. Like where can you do and get a 1/2lb burger that actually feels like a 1/2lb for that price. Here, that's where. The waitress was super sweet and attentive. They weren't busy which was shocking. The restaurant itself could use a little more ambiance. I know it's more of a sports bar, but it is cold feeling. Knowing if there's specials would help too. They do have several TVs and apparently they do karaoke on Saturday's. Excellent lunch, will be a top of the list spot from now on.

    Wow--what a hidden gem in Kyle, Texas!…read more After working late and heading to a concert, we completely skipped dinner and were starving afterward. Most places were closed except for a few chain drive-thrus, but this spot was still open and we'd been wanting to try it ever since they opened. The kitchen closes at 1:30am. Perfect timing! We ordered the chicharrones with guacamole, the Boring Burger, and the Piiggy burger with sweet potato fries. Let me start by saying: you HAVE to order the chicharrones. My husband usually doesn't even like chicharrones, but he absolutely loved these. They were freshly fried, not oily at all, super light and airy and gone in about two minutes flat. The burgers might look like typical bar burgers, but don't be fooled. They were surprisingly not greasy at all, made with fresh (not frozen) beef patties. The buns were soft yet sturdy and didn't fall apart while eating. This is what I'd call elevated bar food with great flavor and noticeable freshness. I'm not usually a burger person, but I genuinely loved these because they were fresh and not heavy or greasy. The sweet potato fries were also a win. Again, not greasy at all. Honestly, they tasted like they came out of an air fryer, which made them feel lighter and healthier. The space is great too: indoor and outdoor seating, plus a kids' play area just outside the patio, which is a huge bonus for families. Service was excellent--friendly, fast, and attentive. If you live anywhere near Kyle, you should absolutely check this place out. We'll definitely be back!

I'm not exaggerating at all when I say they hit every single craving perfectly. From the very first bite, I knew these tacos were on a completely different level compared to anything I've tried before. The flavor, the freshness, the way everything came together--it was honestly incredible. I've had tacos from a lot of different places, but nothing has come close to tasting this good. I genuinely don't know what they put in these tacos to make them taste so amazing, but whatever they're doing, they've absolutely perfected it. The first time I tried them felt almost surreal. It reminded me of that iconic scene in the movie *Ratatouille* where the food critic takes a bite and instantly gets transported back to his childhood, remembering his mom's homemade cooking. That's honestly the closest way I can describe the feeling--it was like pure comfort and nostalgia all in one bite. On top of the incredible food, the **prices are amazing**. It's honestly surprising that food this good can still be so affordable. You're getting top-tier flavor and quality without paying crazy prices, which makes the experience even better. It's rare to find a place where the food is this delicious and the prices are still so reasonable. Overall, Briana's Taqueria completely exceeded my expectations. Between the flavor, the quality, and the value, it's easily one of the best food experiences I've had in a long time. If you're even thinking about trying it, I would **highly recommend it**--you definitely won't regret it.
