McDowell (Full Size) & Nachos (Small Size)
Erin Y.

Stumbled upon this place because we happen to be at Nomadic Outpost. We absolutely loved Slab BBQ, ordered some of their recommendations to share and would 100% be coming back! The McDowell was so good, super flavorful and highly recommend getting some hot sauce to add on! The Nachos were just as tasty with a generous amount of toppings! Can't recommend enough!

Bbq sandwiches

I was at a Yelp event and at Antones Blues festival which had Slab BBQ! I was able to try Slab BBQ at both locations. I have to say it was one of the best BBQ sandwiches I have ever had! I ate that sandwich so fast. The meat was soft and so tender. The slaw in one of the sandwiches was unique and brought a form of texture that I never considered for a brisket sandwich. I will be back here soon to get more!

The Donk - every smoked meat smothered and covered

Went to this new SLAB bbq location and was not disappointed. Right off Brodie lane, the new spot has a parking lot (but on a busy day parking will be limited). Plenty of outdoor shaded seating and a handful of indoor tables. This bbq spot is mainly known for their sandwiches. They don't list their smoked meats as options but you can get just their meat in half pound increments. We got .5 lb of their chicken, a donk sandwich (ridiculous but you kind of have to) and an o.g. Brisket sandwich. Service was really fast and honestly for the meat and serving size, worth the price. It's a great spot for quick, good, reasonably priced bbq. Drinks are available (non alcoholic) in the restaurant. Alcoholic bevies can be purchased at a nearby bar (attached via the outdoor seating area).

Pork ring- Look at that smoke ring!  Strawberry habanero jam was so refreshing in such a savory meal.

Been back multiple times. Ribs w Strawberry and pepper (some hot pepper) jam is ...so ....so good. Get the jam covering ur ribs and ask for more. Everytime I drive by and can't eat there I say a prayer that I can return soon. Praise the Lord!!

El Jefe dressed and ready for me belly.

First time getting delivery from the new location in Sunset Valley. Very fast delivery, hot and really good. A word of advice, if you ran El Jefe be prepared to take a shower afterwards!

Seating area, Rib and brisket sandwich + sides

I had tried going here a few weeks ago for dinner but they were sold out. I was happy to find out that they still had everything available on a Friday around 1pm for lunch. We got - McDowell rib sandwich 10/10 - chopped brisket sandwich 9/10 - Gouda Mac and cheese 11/10 - beans 7/10 - a little too sweet for me but still good - potato casserole 6/10 could have used more salt but the flavor was there Would definitely visit again! They have 4 sauces, all superb. Reg bbq, gold rush, Mayo based, and sriracha based

a variety of meats and sides

We've tried Slab twice now, and I'd say it's worthy of keeping it in our rotation. We first had it via Uber Eats and I personally ordered the kids Daddy Mac with pulled pork and it was a generous portion and fabulous (enough for two meals for me). Unfortunately I'm not seeing it on the menu currently, so it'll be a huge bummer if they've eliminated that as a kids option. The second time trying Slab, we visited the new Brodie location. That atmosphere is wonderful, and the proximity to Nomadic Outpost is a perfect match. We ordered a half pound of pork ribs, pulled pork, and brisket. The ribs were very tender and flavorful--probably my fav of all that we ordered. My only critique of any of the meats is that while the brisket was fork-tender, it still was a bit on the drier side. We look forward to coming back and trying more of the menu...so many of the sandwiches sound decadent!

Slab Sandwich???

Service was horrible & food quality was unacceptable. I expected more from a place I hear a lot good things about. Made my food very fast and it was cold.

Showing the time and the sold out sign!

Imagine Lala's feels like a chill, comfy neighborhood bar where you can actually enjoy yourself, and the ambiance, and have a conversation with whoever you came with, instead of a tourist clogged beehive? Because BOOM that's Lala's South Pole. I'm not even a big Christmas person, and I am smitten. Charming, quite, festive. It feels like a hidden gem. I probably shouldn't be reviewing it so it can stay that way, but no one like a gatekeeper. Also, absolute baller pizza from Brooklyn Pie Co. I had to really talk myself down from going back the next night just for more pizza. The service is... well what you would expect from a "trendy" Austin dive bar, as in... None, but that's part of the charm kind of? I've actually tried a lot of new pizza places lately and this is what stands out in my mind. Drinks wise? It's a bar. They serve you alcohol. Nothing special, but nothing wrong with it either.

They've got a huge back outdoor patio as well as a front patio. Brooklyn Pie Co. is set up inside to take care of your food needs. For those that don't know, Lala's South Pole (& Little Nugget) are year-round holiday bars. While Little Nugget really goes all out, South Pole isn't too shabby at all. Great decor, wonderfully curated holiday cocktails and mocktails, beers, spirits, and more. Super service. This is a place where there's no way you could ever feel sad or down and out because it's just pumpkin' with happy holiday vibes.

It was a little tricky to find at first since it shares the space with other bars. For a beer garden, the selection felt a bit limited, but the drinks we had were good. There were also a couple of food trucks on site, which made it super convenient to grab a bite without leaving. The staff were friendly and attentive, especially considering how busy it was. Overall, a solid spot to hang out, catch a game or fight, and enjoy some drinks.

Nothing but 49ers jerseys and flags and the game on everywhere! Lots of covered seating, great deck, love all the decor, and all of it in great condition. The outdoor area off the deck has some areas for kids to play, but it's best for older kids. Seesaws are metal and fun, but there is no fence to keep those kiddos corralled in which I know some people look for. Parking was limited, and there were kids playing games and football in the parking lot which made me a little nervous, and they were playing with footballs that I could see hitting a car. The food trucks that night were limited, but the Mediterranean food truck was good! Nice falafel, a solid chicken shawarma salad, and hand dipped onion rings and mozzarella sticks that the kiddos definitely enjoyed. It looks like they have a burger truck too, but it was not open that night. The game volume on high, nice patrons, solid layout for the space they have, nicely maintained, friendly staff that make you feel like you've come there for years, all adds up to another great experience on Manchaca Rd!

Parking? Easy. They have a front lot off Congress and another one off Sandra (just South on…read moreCongress after you pass the bar). The drinks? Oh my gaaahhd. I'm usually not a fan of 'craft cocktails' out bc they're overpriced and not nearly as good as what my partner makes at home, but these were glorious. These drinks had layers of flavor. And fresh ingredients. And they were reasonably priced. Honestly, I don't even remember the last time we had such good drinks out (ok that's a lie but another review and it was at that place where Crowbar used to be - but these win hands down). The bartenders were nice and knowledgeable (Did I mention they make amazing drinks?). The outside has a similar feel to Cosmic but more secluded which is nice. They have plenty of seating, mostly outside, and food from an onsite truck, Sabor Tapatio. Honestly, I feel like this place is a unicorn. 78745 low key vibe but also with some old school Austin feels (I'm talking 2005 mid-Noughties - not 20-teen Rainey Street batch cocktails). They also have coffee in the mornings which we'll be checking out sooner rather than later. 10/10 recommend.

There are plenty of different seating options but very few seats inside. The place is chill, ordering drinks took some time even with no rush. Seems like they have some pre-mixed type of cocktails. Honestly, neither of us liked our drinks much. We actually left it behind. The food truck is nice to have though we didn't get to try. Happy that South Austin is finally seeing some nice spacious outdoor hangout spots.

However, be wary of attending events here! We've been a couple of times now, both with live music, the latest during SXSW, when its just a shit show. Their parking is a little limited, now they have 2 lots which is usually fine for normal days but it's not nearly enough when they have an event going on. There are people parked on the gravel past the actual parking lot and both times we got to watch someone spin their tires trying to escape a parking spot they really shouldn't have attempted in the first place. Service was insane for this last show- someone booked a wedding reception on the bottom floor at the same time as this SXSW (not official but advertised as an ancillary show) event so only the top bar was open and the lines to order went almost all the way through the inside! It just wasn't planned well. I really do enjoy this bar but I don't know that I would go to another show there- think it might just be for random meet ups.
