A Send-Off Worth Celebrating! We started things off right with the deviled eggs and homemade bread -- simple, but done perfectly. Then came the main event: the 3-meat plate with turkey, brisket, and chicken. The portions were generous and every bite was packed with flavor. The corn and beans on the side rounded out the meal perfectly. By the time we got to dessert, I was already stuffed -- but I couldn't leave without taking the homemade peach cobbler home. It was calling my name from across the table! I'll be back with a full review of that soon, but I have a feeling it's going to be just as good as everything else. If you're looking for a spot to celebrate a big family moment with great food and even better portions, County Line BBQ is the move. Highly recommend! read more

Had a very good experience here at county line on the Hill, The waiter his name is Jimmy waited on me he was very attentive and gave me good advice on recommendations on what to order and was very glad I had a great waiter. Mango Margarita which was absolutely Was full of mango flavor I loved it I of course I had salt around the rim that's how I like it. They have the most beautiful views as you know it is incredible and so beautiful I just love sitting inside and air conditioning looking out The most incredible views. This is what I really love about this place I can really sorb all of the beauty and the green trees all The ambiance is to die for it's just really more than I could ask for. On top of that the food was amazing it really was I ordered the corn on the cob with 2 types of meat I had the brisket with the pork ribs. On top of that I had to take some of that home with me of course cuz that was a lot to eat and the salad or really fresh and green I loved it with ranch dressing.

If you want a greta view of the green belt/sunset view, you have to visit the county line. We came here for a dinner birthday celebration and caught the sunset right in time. Highly recommend sitting outside to have the unbeatable view. The bbq is pretty good, can't go wrong with the marble cut brisket and sausages. Very juicy and full of fat. I got Mac and cheese and potato salad on the side, perfect to enjoy with the meat. Service was great, friendly staff. Will return in the future. read more

Ky'arssa, I think that's how you spell her name, was an amazing waitress. Even though the food took a bit to come out, she checked in and assured we had our homemade bread appetizer. Three pieces of this thick cut bread basically turned into my meal. Warning it's very filling. My grilled salmon was a bit dry... Normally, it's not and I enjoy it. As a barbecue place. So cowboy decor a plenty. I do miss the speak cowboy tape they used to play in the bathrooms. Maybe it was just down for this night? read more

My extended family's favorite BBQ restaurant. It's more consistent than Rudy's. You really can't go wrong with any of County Line's meats. Their BBQ sauce is good; it falls short of great. I'm a fan of their Fried Okra and Green Beans. Not a fan of their Potato Salad (mustard recipes are better). They have very tasty bread, but you've got to be careful not to fill up on it before your meal arrives! read more

The County Line - 3 Meat Combo. Sides in background. - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have been coming to The County Line since they had warm mint rags before your meal, they used to put cherries in your soda, they had a view with no office buildings and other homes. The view on the outdoor patio is still amazing but it has definitely evolved over the years. Located in a historic old "Speak-easy," the County Line on the Hill offers an incredible 20 mile view of the beautiful Texas Hill Country. There is plenty of parking and I have never had to wait for a table. I still start my meal with the complementary bread that comes with a bowl of butter. They also have a homemade option for additional cost. The Big Daddy Beef Rib platter is still the go-to because it can be shared. It comes with beans, potato salad and cole slaw. The barbecue sauce is plentiful. The ribs have gotten a bit drier and less meat over the years but I still enjoy them. I have other BBQ from here and you really can't go wrong. They used to have a free catering event where I got to try all of their BBQ and enjoyed the pork ribs, sausage, briscuit and chicken. The salad and okra sides are good also. The service is always friendly and helpful. Always enjoy the talking cow that drops cow jokes. read more

4.5 My husband and I decided to order and pick up some County Line for dinner. He went into the restaurant, gave his name, got our food and then returned home. The service was good as they got got our order correct. This time around my husband ordered the emergency kit which came with 4 meats (turkey, brisket, sausage, and chicken). It also came with 3 sides (coleslaw, potato salad, and beans) plus it came with bread, pickles, onions, jalapenos, and bbq sauce. I ordered the brisket sandwich with a side of potato salad and okra. Plus a half loaf of their homemade bread. The brisket sandwich was delicious. I added the pickles, onions, and BBQ sauce for added flavor. It's my favorite way to eat brisket sandwiches. It was so full of meat that I couldn't eat it all. The potato salad was full of chunks of potatoes which I liked. The okra was hot with a crispy exterior. I tried my husband's beans and coleslaw and they both had a little bit of flavor. The homemade bread has always been a favorite of mine. I love how it tastes warm with some of the honey butter that they included. Overall it was a good dinner choice. The ordering and pickup process was easy and the food was good. read more

I've been a fan of their original location on 2222, but this is the first time I dropped in here at this location to get the rib king combo special to go. This location very much mirrors the style and decor of their original location. It's not visible from the road at all, just a sign on 2244 to denote its location. Plenty of parking at the top of the hill, including an overflow lot. Once inside, it's like being at the original location, even the food is exactly the same as if it came from there as well. However, the view from the patio is much different since it overlooks the wide expanse of the hill country instead of a local body of water like the original location. If you like the original location, you'll like the clone. Informative photos and videos included. read more

The County Line - 2 meat combo - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

My husband and I were given a gift card for The County Line, for our birthdays. We chose the Hill location because it still gets dark early and I expect the night view here would be better than trying to see turtles in the dark at the other location. The view and the service were the best parts. The food was very plain. We tried a little of everything, by splitting the 5 meat platter. The turkey and beef ribs were the best meats. The menu says they don't do substitutions, but the server offered it anyways. We got double turkey instead of pork ribs, for dietary reasons. I think they don't want people trying to get more beef than they paid for. I upgraded both sides, and both weren't worth the upcharge. Both the baked potato and the macaroni and cheese was overcooked and didn't taste like much. The outside of the potato didn't seem to have any seasoning which was a missed opportunity for flavor. However, they gave me a free birthday dessert, so that was a nice bonus! read more

The County Line - 5 Meat Plate - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

Long wait for a table for our group of 7, but worth the wait! We ordered queso and some drinks at the bar, and enjoyed the outside area by the river while waiting. Dining areas have that "Texas roadhouse" vibe - we were outside and loved it! Mostly attentive service - had to hunt our server down a couple of times to get drink refills and request additional bbq sauce. Food was so good - I particularly liked the lean brisket and sausage! Wish we could have tried the "famous bread", but they were out. read more

The food, service, ambiance, and parking were all excellent! And that view! The three meat meal was enough for two. My Coke was served in a glass so big it must have been two liters. No waiting for refills. I couldn't even finish it. I was dining alone but had a great experience! read more

First Time at this County Line location. They have such a lovely hill country view. It was a hot day so we chose to sit right by the large windows viewing out onto the patio. Beautiful! We came for one thing and that was the Big Daddy Beef Rib platter. Last time we had it the ribs were massive like dinosaur size. For some reason they were much smaller this time and the meat not as tender, but still delicious. Opted for a side of fried okra and potato salad. Fried okra is on point and the potato salad it's alright, but it's not mustard based. It was also HH at the time and we tried the sausage for $5. Such a hearty portion and the sausage is so tasty! Love their BBQ sauce. We had to ask for extra. Also don't forget to ask for bread which is only available upon request. Our server Travis was super nice and quick! Oh and also we asked if we could take some rib bones home for our dog and we were happily given a bag of bones to go! Our dog was in heaven! read more

We always take out of town guests here as another option for experiencing Texas BBQ just as someone did for me when I first arrived. The interior is a country home feel with antiques displayed throughout and an incredible view. They have both indoor and outdoor seating with fans. When using the restroom, be sure to listen to the useful language tips playing through the speakers. The service was great. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and our server was consistently checking in. The menu is large. We started with the fried pickles (chips, which I prefer) and homemade bread. The homemade bread comes out warm and is slightly sweet, but yummy. This beats the free one. There was a wide selection of meats, which were all good. An Austin staple. read more

This place is fantastic. We had the 5 meat combo, which was perfect for sampling everything. The mac and cheese and coleslaw were so good! They have a delicious selection of locally brewed beer. Our server Ka'ryssa was incredibly sweet and took such good care of us. The atmosphere is very fun with endless charming details and thoughtful decor. On top of everything, the prices are very reasonable! read more

Food is really good and great service and location by the lake. Mane with great variety of plates and appetizers. Along with great cocktails

Delicious meat including the turkey! When my family comes in from out of town they love to get the beef ribs with the perfect sauce. The marinated mushrooms are the perfect app along with the fresh bread. We have never had a bad meal at The County Line! read more

County Line has been back on our rotation. The pork ribs are the highlight. The margaritas make them go down real easy. We've especially been pleased with the service, especially this last visit. Haley was an excellent server. She worked the room like a champ. There was a large event going on, but unlike in the past when you were wondering if they had just put the meat on the grill and you were going to wait the rest of the evening, food came out quick. Haley didn't dally getting it to the table just as promptly. The fried okra was straight out of the fryer hot. read more

My colleagues and I came here on a Monday evening and I was a bit underwhelmed. The interior was clean and it gave an authentic vibe with great views overlooking the area. We asked our waitress for recommendations and I went with the sausage, brisket, corn on the cob, and a side salad (which was huge and a full sized salad! as a non-Texan). The brisket lacked flavor and the corn on the cob had no seasoning like salt or butter on it at all. We also ordered some wings for the table to share and they were a bit dry. Based on the great reviews we saw on Google, we were a bit underwhelmed by the flavor and didn't find that anything stood out. read more

When we have out of town visitors, we always ask if they prefer pork or Beef ribs. If they say beef, we bring them to county line. These are the best beef ribs. And the history of the place is fun as well. The view is incredible. Do not miss out on the experience of visiting the restroom. While in there, listen carefully! When we went tonight, Jacklyn was our waitress. She was excellent. She was friendly and quick. And seeing her with her tiny frame carrying the huge racks of ribs, that was a sight to behold!! read more

i would not recommend this bbq place out of all the places austin has to offer. i tried the cadillac which was all you can eat bbq with pork ribs, brisket, sausage, turkey, and chicken. everything was dry...the only yummy meat was the pork ribs. their mac and cheese was like kraft mac and cheese...not good. i did enjoy their homemade bread and potato salad. their homemade bread is a must if you go! i came here for an organization event and their staff was very friendly and attentive when it came to everyone's needs. read more

Koen was our server for a group of 7 and he was amazing!! It was great for a larger party and the food came out very quick.

Don't come here for the best barbecue, come here for the VIEW and laid-back atmosphere! Location cannot be beat--the view is spectacular, located near West Lake Hills, and plenty of parking to boot. The interior is old-school, calm and welcoming. Staff is very friendly. We have been coming here for YEARS every now and then, and it's one of the best choices when with a large group or family (with kids especially!). The barbecue is nowhere near the best, but it's good enough to fill bellies. And with the view and slowed down atmosphere, the low level of stress and not having to wait in a long line and/or sit at a cramped table, eating hurriedly because others in line are glaring at you and your parking is about to expire, I'd say it more than makes up for it! read more

Everything was amazing food,service,and the view was incredible. Would definitely recommend coming here to grab a bite to eat.

Called ahead to make a reservations and the gentleman was very thoughtful and helpful. Our food was outstanding we shared the 5 meat special with the best potato salad and Klarrissa provided the most exceptional service I've ever had.
