OH MY GODDDD!!!! I need this place where I live!!! I ordered the Smokin Mac Burger and my mouth has never been happier! This was the most amazing burger I have ever eaten in my entire life - and I LOVE burgers!!! The patties were super flavorful, the brisket was incredibly and smokey, the mac and cheese was perfection, and the BBQ sauce was mouthwatering. I was super hungry when we stopped here so I ate the whole thing but I think even if I had been full I still would have eaten it all because it was so good! My mouth is watering just thinking back on how amazing this burger was. TAKE ME BACK!!!! The gentleman who served us recommended this burger and was super fun and sweet when I came back to tell him how good it was and to thank him for hiss recommendation. It was a beautiful, sunny, winter day so the picnic style seating was perfect and cozy. Couldn't have asked for a better place for my last stop/meal in Texas before flying home. Thank you for the amazing food!! read more

Meh. I expected better from such a cute setup. The burger was salty and the rest was underwhelming. I think only the mac and cheese was worth finishing. Ambiance was cute but the service was self serve with a beeper to tell you when the food was ready. read more

First and foremost this is a definite yes for kids. The kids can run around and play and get their wiggles out while you sit in the shade or even in the sun. Pool tables, music, bar, a station with dog bowls and sun screen, and tons of food truck options. Lots of fans to keep you cool and very clean. Friendly staff and clean restroom facilities as well. We were impressed with pretty much everything. Food was great and good value for the money and taste! read more

what a fun spot! we ended up coming here on our way out of the airport and loved how there was live music on a friday evening. lots of open space, would be good for an outdoor gathering. food was overall pretty solid but it did take a while to be done. they're very generous with their meat portions in the tacos and even the mac and cheese which was nice! for the location and what we were looking for, it suited our needs quite well however the bbq was average read more

Had a good selection. I got the brisket and pulled pork. Both were moist and favorable. The Mac and cheese was also very good. The price seemed fair for BBQ. Plenty of room to sit and eat in the open venue behind it. Just be aware you should park in the back unless you are getting it to go. read more

Smokin' Brew-B-Q is an easy 5 stars. I worked with Nick to cater a work event and he did such an amazing job. He was super responsive, helpful and even accommodated a last minute date change without jeopardizing the integrity of his food. You can tell he's passionate about what he does because it shows in the food. We had trays upon trays of tender, smoked brisket, pulled pork and beer can chicken. The mac & cheese, beans and coleslaw were wonderful sides and we topped it off with some decadent banana pudding. Everyone loved the food and everything was cooked perfectly. Smokin' Brew is very reasonable priced and the BBQ is top notch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or use them again in the future. read more

I was looking to try some BBQ in Austin & looked through the yelp reviews as there was many places with 4 star reviews & up, so I thought I was in for a treat... so I thought. - Brisket, Pulled Pork & Sausage with Mac & Cheese/Baked Beans 1/5: The brisket was so dry that I could not finish eating it. It was also lukewarm & it did not have much flavor to my disappointment. The pulled pork had much of a similar story & it probably was by far the worst pulled pork I've had. The sausage was okay not much flavor to it but it was the best out of the 3 sadly. The mac & cheese was really upsetting it had a chalky powdery taste to it that I could consume it anymore. The baked beans was to me star of this plate, the beans were seasoned nicely & it had rich flavor. Lasty the BBQ sauce was really bad I could believe it. Overall I was purely disappointed since this BBQ place had really high reviews for something that does not meet those expectations. - Fried Pickles 4/5: The fried pickles were surprisingly good after so much disappointment earlier. Very crispy the batter & the pickles inside were very delicious as I love me a good pickle. read more

Been wanting to check this place out since it's in our neck of the woods. Glad we did. We weren't too hungry so decided to get a small, shareable snack and ordered the nachos. Shareable they were alright. Massive amounts of nachos loaded with brisket, pork, beans and queso. This monstrosity was a beauty. What a masterpiece. Loved all the ingredients and how well they all went together. This thing was so big, we ended uo taking half home. Also ordered a side of sausage that was so good and juicy. The area where they're park also serves cold, frosty beverages and there's plenty of seating either by their truck or in the area. read more

Some of the best brisket nachos I've had ever! Would highly recommend, great service, Kevin was awesome!

I've tried Franklins, I've tried Terry Blacks, YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE. One of the best briskets in Austin. Kevin was amazing (southpark meadows)!!! Would highly recommend this to everyone. Kevin was one of the most helpful and friendly bbq hands I've talked to in Austin, he is the best! read more

The gentleman at the front was extremely rude and didn't have time to tell me what meat sides he had and told me to look at the menu. When I I told him chicken, he told me they were out. I would not recommend this place and find somewhere else to get bbq. The brisket and Mac was terrible on top of it! read more

Absolutely fantastic brisket sandwich! Went for lunch, came back to get a take out of four pounds to spread the love to the whole crew. Great freakin stuff served up fast with smile read more

Their brisket was incredible!!! Sausage- incredible!! Even the tots and slaw were.....yep, incredible. If you haven't had it yet you need to run (not walk) and reward your tastebuds. read more

Damn man. Austin is food truck overload but between the amazing burgers, fire a** chicken and unbelievable pimento bites, this place kills it. If you're even remotely on the Austin social media scene you've heard about this so give it a look. Also for those of you living southeast Austin b*tching about the lack of options, drinks backyard plus Smokin' Brew-B-Q is a can't miss combo....also...that banana pudding? Get. In. My. Mouf. read more

Some of the best beef brisket that I've had in Texas to date. Mac n cheese, brisket bbq beans, and Cole slaw were all on point. Jalapeño smoked sausage was good, had a real snap to the casing. The banana pudding should be "world famous" if it's not already. Definitely worth trying, the outdoor patio area at Drinks Backyard is an awesome place to sit and eat your bbq. read more

Travel from California and stop by this nice place ! The food is good. We jumped in to eat and forget to take pictures. We ordered several 3 meat meals and they are all good. read more

I'm really glad we discovered this food truck. It's a part of the Manchaca Saloon area next to a couple other food trucks, a bar, and a stage with plenty of outdoor seating and lawn games. I can definitely see myself hanging out here with friends on a beautiful day. So far, we've tried the pulled pork, baked brisket beans, and coleslaw, which were all a slam dunk. Delicious! The pulled meat on top of the baked potato was good, but the potato itself I probably wouldn't order again. Everyone I've interacted with that works at this food truck has been kind and helpful. I'll definitely be back! read more

Their lean brisket isnt lean at all. I've been there a few times now and always get lean brisket and lately it hasn't been lean at all. read more

Smokin' Brew-B-Q - Lean Brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

Amazing bbq yet very disappointed to stop by on my birthday with an online order stating would be ready at 8:30 pm for over $200 to state that wasn't ready and no urgency at all while stating that wasn't ready and would be at least another ten to fifteen minutes. The food is amazing and love it, this why we drive all the way here yet service was less than would expect today and hopefully will adjust service times or will adjust customer service upon pick up. read more

Use to love this place. Order from them about 3 times a month. Tonight we placed a doordash order and they literally only sent one of the 4 orders without letting us know. I would have cancelled the entire order then to only feed 2 members. Guess they knew that, so they sent it anyway. read more

Great food all around! Was I just really hungry or was this one of the most solid bbq spots in South Austin? I ordered chicken just to be different and it might have been the best moistest chicken I've ever head. Juicy without the greasiness of fried chicken. A+ I'm normally pretty disappointed with sausage because I was spoiled on excellent deer sausage growing up. I got the regular and it had a nice kick to it. A+ The brisket was yummy too. A nice mix of lean and moist. What about the sides? Mac and cheese was A+. Both the littles and bigs enjoyed. I liked the peppery beans. Everything was very black pepper forward and spicy which I loved but that might not be for everyone. I'm shocked at how good this place was. read more

Great Q! I like me some good bbq on the first warm day of 22. Wanted to maximize the experience so we split a 3 meat plate. Moist brisket is awesome! Nice bark. Smoke ring. Great beef flavor. Sausage is from Hudson's and was well cooked and flavorful. Beer can chicken was moist and tender. Great flavor - you could actually taste the beer. Friend got a pulled pork Sammie and said it was top notch. Sides are good, especially the beans - Nick uses leftover brisket. They were a little "soupy" but tasted great. Venue is nice, too. Looks like a winning combination. read more

So my wife and I have been going to drinks backyard since not long after they opened in 2023. The smokin' Brew-B-q at their location is AMAZING! Everything we have ever had there is Fantastic! The brisket, smoked wings and pulled pork are top notch! Additionally , the staff are by far some of the best and most knowledgeable BBQ people I have ever met! Definitely worth every penny I have spent there over the last 2 years! Definitely try the the brisket, smoked buffalo wings, pulled pork sandwich and their seasonal brisket chili! read more

Really good food! So nice to have something new to south east Austin. Brisket beans are 10/10. Cole slaw is not great, too much pepper. But the potato salad is very good. Turkey is seasoned well and tastes great, same for the chicken tacos. Chicken is not dry and has great flavor, also a generous portion of protein in the tacos, it's not all "filler". I would have submitted a picture but I ate it too fast. :) read more

The owner is incredibly friendly and the food is solid. Their banana pudding dessert is delicious, and I like the briscut sandwich and Smokin Mac burger as my go to entrees. My fiancé also likes their sausage wraps as well. read more

Recently moved and was searching for a local bbq spot. The service was rude. I was immediately greeted with a "What?". It might be me but people mostly great you much nicer than a "what". I ordered the brewskis classic burger. The burger was Packed with mayo. I just couldn't continue eating it because the first bite was just awful. My partner order the sliced brisket sandwich and wasn't impressed. Don't get me wrong, we weren't expecting gourmet, but we've definitely had better. I'd rather drive a little further out for better food. The customer service just wasn't there. There is bar next door, so it probably tastes better after a few drinks. I don't drink so I wouldn't know. I don't plan on going again. But hope you have a better experience. read more

Everything was so good! The only thing lacking is the barbecue sauce, as it was very mild and we like it sweeter and spicier. read more

I showed up here on a Saturday before opening and was welcomed in anyways. I admired the offset pit where the smells of post oak wood and meat filled the air. The owner invited me to check out the smoke box and told me the story of how he acquired it. I ordered the brisket tacos and holy $@?! The best damn tacos I have ever had. From the customer service to the food, This is true Texas BBQ. I will be back! read more

Make sure to get the smokin Mac burger. It's the bomb! Pulled pork sandwich. Also delicious. Went here with my son on his work trip if you like barbecue this place is for you. read more

We got a 3-meat plate (pulled pork, ¼ beer-can chicken & moist sliced brisket) with 2 sides (Mac & cheese & tots) plus an extra side of potato salad. Chicken was moist & had good flavor in the meat. Rub was a bit strong on smaller pieces like the wing. Pulled pork was tasty, although I'd have thought it would have more of a smokey taste. Brisket was good, especially where the rub was. The beer can bbq sauce was very good, just wish more was included. Mac & cheese was different...probably because of the mix of cheeses. Tots were...well, tots. The potato salad was good. Tasted somewhat like store bought. I will say it took some time to figure out how to place the online order for pickup. Apparently, there are 2 locations with different names that offer the same menu. Once we placed the order, we received text updates & knew when the order was ready for pickup. We also greatly appreciate the use of some compostable containers and bags. read more

Had a great meal here. We ordered the 3 meat plate and it was good to split. For a place that's close to the airport, they knocked it out of the park! read more

Nick and his crew did a great job catering and event for the business I work for. Everything was delivered on time, was hot and they served everything. We did the three meat trio with beans, creamed corn, potato salad and banana pudding. Reasonably priced and easy to coordinate with. I recommend Smokin Brew B-Q for a catering event. Nick was very kind and so was Ed! read more

Brisket is always great but don't miss their smoked turkey or beer can chicken. So good!

Food is so delicious!! The brisket and turkey are out of this world. The guys who run this food truck provide excellent service!

So delicious! I really enjoyed my burger and the guys running it were so friendly and fast! Will definitely be back for their delicious food read more

Smokin' Brew is a solid option for really good BBQ without the hassle of crowds and lines. Had some friends visiting who wanted good ole Texas BBQ while here. But one also was traveling with a (neurotic) dog, so that led us to search out new spots beyond our usual out-of-town-visitor standbys. This ranks high on my BBQ list--not the top top, but it's dang good, especially for coming out of a truck! We split a 3-meat plate and went with the brisket, the beer can chicken, and (at the owner's recommendation) the turkey. My favorite was the beer can chicken. The brisket was tender and tasty, but slightly under salted and over peppered for my taste. The turkey was good, but just a tad on the dry side. We also had the smokin' tater, which was probably everyone's favorite thing on the table. One friend liked it so much, she ordered a second one to-go to eat the next day! Our sides were mac & cheese and potato salad, and both were really tasty. We also really liked that this food truck park shares a lot with Manchaca Springs Saloon, so we could just walk over and order drinks to take back to our picnic table. They have an outdoor stage with music, too! read more

Tried the lunch special with brisket. ordered the meat "moist" and it was a nice balance of lean and fat. The slices had a nice crust, very black pepper forward. highly recommend a visit when in the area. read more
