5 meat combo was delicious. Home made bread scrumptuous and our waiter Mike treated us mighty fine with extra sauces and tastings for our experience at County line BBQ. Highly recommend read more

Some friends and I came here on a Saturday afternoon and had a really great meal. We were taken aback by the view from patio and very pleased with the food we had. I really wanted to try some of their bread, which looked amazing, and I could smell the loaf on the table next to me(it was heavenly) alas i could not(no carbs). I did however order the rib king ( a massive plate of pork and beef ribs, with cole slaw and green beans) and loved it. The beef ribs were bigger than my head and there were pork ribs underneath them. The pork ribs really stole the show as they were truly incredible; they were juicy, tender, and delicious. The green beans were outstanding, slow roasted and smoky. I wish i had enough room to try the dessert, however i was full and took the beef ribs home. I will be back for that bread and dessert though, no doubt. read more

Ordered a large order ahead of time for delivery. It was an hour late and I'm missing items I paid for.

Elliot was absolutely awesome. Great experience all the way through. Highly recommend The County Line.

It was great We ate out on the patio. Service was fine. The hostess was also our waitress. This restaurant has been around a long time. The food was good. read more

Awesome service and a good priceless view! There is an extensive menu. Big parking lot.

We came here to celebrate my parents 27th wedding anniversary and The County Line didn't disappoint! We sat outside on a hot summer day because my mom wanted to enjoy the stunning view in the back. There were plenty of fans and shade to keep us cool enough to stay outside in the heat and the view was certainly worth it! I ordered the 3 meat combo plate with sausage, lean brisket and Marble brisket with a side salad and potato salad. The salad came out first and although it good, it oddly came with only one cherry tomato... The free bread was okay, nothing special (I'd definitely want to try their homemade bread next time). When the food came out everyone's order was correct except mine, BUT it was okay because I ended up getting free corn and pulled pork! The service was great! It seemed silly that they'd mistake my order when it wasn't busy at all, but the waiter was super accommodating and made sure we had a great time! The food was as great as the view and I LOVE the potato salad because there were huge chunks of potato and it wasn't mushy. I enjoyed the lean brisket, but for those who don't eat a lot of lean meat go straight for the Marble brisket. There's only one BBQ sauce but it was very tasty! The waiter also gave us a to go tub of sauce after we asked for some to go which was very kind of him read more

Let's start by saying... I do not like bbq. I never have. But, I got out numbered and ended up at the county line. I got the 2 combo meal with chicken and pork ribs (upcharge for the pork ribs). My sides with Mac n cheese and beans. The meats were amazing!!! I devoured the meats. They were perfectly seasoned and not dry at all. The sides on the other hand were disgusting. The Mac and cheese was awful. It tasted like school cafeteria food. The beans were not creamy. They were legit hard and dry but were in a watery bean juice...... trash. As a bbq restaurant why would you not serve delicious baked beans! I wouldn't come back on my initiative but if I got invited I'd come back. I basically just ate chicken and ribs. read more

Good barbecue. Better views. Came here for a corporate dinner and ordered the family style platters. Beef ribs were excellent as was the brisket. I never made it to the turkey but the chicken was smoked well. Is there better in Austin, sure. However, don't overlook one of the originals and that View...! read more

I think best thing about this place is the bread the views. Brisket was dried out so if you want just so so BBQ and a cool view come here. Otherwise skip it read more

Fantastic beef ribs - we met a friend and had a fabulous dinner. We had the jalapeño bites and those were excellent. The free bread is nothing to rave about but I did enjoy the Coleslaw which is simple and chunky and the ribs. read more

Totally love this place and the staff! The food was good and the view was wonderful! The waitress was exceptional! The restaurant was clean and charming. My husband and I will definitely return. read more

Not sure why this place only has 3.5 stars, I thought it was great. My mom and I visited here when staying at Barton Creek for the weekend. The view was awesome. The drinks were sooo good. I had the Shirley temple with vodka and my mom had the strawberry margarita. The fried pickles were AMAZING. The ranch is so good. We shared the sausage platter with 2 side it came with 6 links of sausage. It was crazy. The potato salad was more mayo based, but good. The okra was normal grade. The blackberry cobbler was just okay reheated. My moms pecan pie al la mode was great. Definitely visit around sunset. read more

Very nice restaurant, friendly staff, and gorgeous views. The BBQ was pretty good, not the best I ever had but the cozy cabin-like restaurant ambiance makes up for it. Optional tasty homemade bread loaves were def worth it. Didn't like the beans but the Mac & Cheese was good and the meat was pretty decent. I'd be back. read more

Ok, so its a Sat nite. So what ?? Does that give County Line (or any restaurant) an excuse, with a To Go order placed at 5PM....and its now 7:20.....and our food is still not ready ?????? At 5, they wouldn't even give us an approximate pickup time. Shoulda told us everything we needed to know. Do they think it takes The Grove across the street over two plus hours to get an order ready ? Or Plate ?? Or Lupe Tortilla ?? Or Maudies ?? Or ANY RESPONSIBLE RESTAURANT ?? TWO AND A HALF HOURS AND STILL NO FOOD READY ????? DONE with them. Buyer beware. read more

The venue inside and setting outside with the views is lovely, its worth going for that alone. The BBQ was okay, its def not the best but it was still nice. read more

We ordered through UberEats but the food was all still super yummy and delicious! All the meat was super moist and flavorful, my only complaint was that they didn't include the onions/pickles that we added to our order so there wasn't really anything sour or tart to offset the richness of the meat. Extra points for the bread and honey butter, it was super delicious and better than your regular bbq bread/butter for sure. read more

Came in and place a order for a link sausage sandwich. I spent 20.00 on the combo and they didn't give me one of my sides. Place had gorgeous views of Bee Cave. read more

What a fun atmosphere! Great view of the valley. Extremely friendly wait staff, and clean restrooms. We enjoyed the homemade sourdough loaf prior to our meal. The size of the iced teas are huge! Enjoy the two items to meat plate with lean brisket and sausage along with fried okra and potato salad. I wish the potato salad was a little of a more mustard flavor but, overall I have a empty plate as I go home very full and satisfied. My husband had a three item plate with the lean brisket, sausage and chicken. He had a piece of dark chicken and said it was "fall off the bone" delicious. My friend had the peppered turkey and lean brisket with macaroni and cheese, potato salad and a side of the "vegetable of the day," which was corn on the cob. She enjoyed everything, especially the peppered turkey, the corn is boiled and she wasn't a fan. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. We can't wait to come back! read more

First, the two locations have fantastic atmosphere and views. The food, however, is a let down. I am not an overly picky person but the brisket here is bland and flavorless. I have had three visits and have left with the same feeling every time. The brisket was cold as well. We asked our waiter for salt and it never came. We were told to try the deviled eggs as a specialty but found them average. When I want good, warm and flavorful BBQ this is not on my list. I will keep this place in mind for cocktails and the sunset. Find better BBQ for a better price elsewhere but they won't have the view... Your choice! read more

I went in there and used the bathroom before I was going to be sat. But to find out there are Indians and cowboys all over the walls... not knowing the CULTURE behind that ... WHILE they have audio playing over on the speakers in the bathroom teaching you how to talk like a cowboy ( a man is correcting a woman on how to say things like a cowboy) like it's freaking duo lingo was so disgusting to me. BE MORE CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE. Do not support this place till they figure out how to be respectful to people as a whole. read more

When you order a margarita reposado with a salted rim and it arrives weak, clearly black and no alt you know you hit the mediocrity jackpot!! Bbq pork was bland. Beans not so good. When told about the Rita, the waiter mike ghosted the table as if had been rendered mute, as if he was a eunuch without the power to effectuate change. Reposado darkens the drink Those of us experienced in Mixon our own or getting them in good Mexican restaurants can tell the difference between Blanco and reposado and were left quite disappointed when somebody tries to substitute Blanco instead of the aged tequila that is smoother and makes a much better margarita. Kind of a sneaky way to conduct a bait and switch. Boo! read more

This is a great option if you want BBQ, but want table service and even a cloth napkin. A friend coming in from out of town wanted a nice dinner, but also mentioned ribs. After thinking for a bit, The County Line came to mind. (As a reminder, The County Line on the Lake has a smaller menu than this location.) The key here is the service. It's excellent. The staff is friendly and efficient and the orders come out quickly. Depending on where you're seated, there's also an incredible view of the hills west of Austin. And because the restaurant can occasionally draw a crowd, you can make reservations online. Food? Above average. But in Austin's competitive BBQ field these days, above average no longer suffices. Both of us really liked the pork ribs, which were perfectly cooked and had a good flavor. I wasn't as much of a fan of the shredded beef which most would call chopped beef. It might have been my odd tastes, but I could've sworn I tasted a hint of pickle to the beef. The fries were good -- as in hot and crispy. The mac and cheese, which was an upcharge, was pretty standard food service stuff and not worth the money. Their homemade bread is worth every penny, especially with the honey butter at the table. They brought out two different sauces, one for the beef and one for the pork. Truthfully, I was unable to discern much difference and didn't find either particularly inspiring. Long story short -- if you're in the situation that I was in -- wanting ribs and a sit down dinner, this is a great option. Otherwise, it's just another place to satisfy a BBQ craving in a city full of stellar BBQ options. read more

Gorgeous outdoor views greet you at this legendary location. The bbq is good but not fantastic . Happy hour is definitely the time to go here! Prices are high for dinner. The ribs are good and so is the moist sliced brisket. Sides items are all better than the Saltlick! They have excellent ice cold beer selections. Service is always good! read more

Seriously, the Junior Rib platter? There is nothing junior about it. I still have to take leftovers home. The County Line beats the Salt Lick in two categories only. County Line beef ribs are great as Salt Lick only serves thier offering on Sundays as a special. I've had them and they are always tough. County Line also takes the bread dual by a mile. It costs extra but go for the loaf. Potato salad and cole slaw are just ok. Not hungry for BBQ? Its not often that I say this but with a recent trip with the inlaws to Salt Lick, Bertram Smoke Haus, Kreuz, and the County Line within 4 days I was ready for anything but BBQ. The shrimp cocktail was great but messy. Its loaded with cajun spices with a spicy cocktail sauce. It was the perfect ending after a BBQ free for all. Damn Texas Monthly for that BBQ issue. People have mentioned the view but it overlooks Barton Creek and Richie Rich land. Not exactly paradise for me; but I'll keep it cause you can smoke on the patio read more

As soon as you walk in, you can smell the BBQ. One of the best BBQ places ever. And they have beef ribs! The half a rack was very big...very flavor...and extremely delicious. The service was good and the place was very clean. GREAT scenery and the Mac and cheese was awesome. Pepper turkey and 2 nd cut brisket was also really good. The turkey just melted in my mouth. read more

1st, this is the ONLY place in Austin that I eat BBQ from. I want to share an amazing review of the manager "Orlando" at this location. My Uncle from Ohio arrived Monday night to a BNB. The unfortunate story is my Uncle was caught up in a bait & switch & had been trying to settle the situation since they arrived all evening...so by 1:30am they had relocated to a local Hotel. I pre-ordered dinner and had no idea what was happening with my family until a late phone call. I contacted County Line Tuesday morning and left a message of my story. I received a call from Orlando, who told me canceling the order was not a problem and he would apply an immediate refund. I was so grateful he was willing to understand my situation. This has always been my favorite BBQ place. When my extended family comes from out of state this is the place I take them!!! The smoke on the meat has a very distinguish flavor you will not find any other place in Austin, hands down. The homemade bread is so divine. This place will not disappoint you.

Worst Mac and cheese ever, green beans were outta a can, the meats were all mediocre at best. Did like their coleslaw and baked potato. Way better places to get BBQ. read more

The view is one of the nicest ones around!!! I can see why it would be very popular during the summer. I had to take multiple pictures of the view. Now I wish I could say the food was as good as the view. That is definitely not the case. It falls in line with "you pay for the view" that has cursed a few places from greatness *cough Oasis cough*. You'd find better BBQ at a Rudy's and that's not a testament to the quality of Rudy's. I was pretty disappointed that with all of the amazing food options that are now in Austin, that nostalgic places like this choose to sit on their name instead of trying to improve with the competition. The place was pretty empty and I don't see that changing unless the food does. read more

Let's get the positives out of the way: the service was friendly, nice view. Now for the rest... After ordering, our food was served to us within 5 minutes. No joke! I mentioned to the waitress that it came out super fast and she responded "yea since everything is already prepared, it's very quick". Once we sampled everything we discussed how every item on both of our plates was cold. Not hot, not warm, cold! I had ribs, corn on cob, and beans, and my boyfriend had a brisket sandwich with potato salad and mac n cheese. I did enjoy my ribs and the potato salad, but beware the potato salad is pickley. So avoid if pickles aren't your thing. The mac n cheese was swimming in liquid and didn't really have any flavor. The corn on the cob was cold with no butter or salt. Brisket was cold and flavorless. And the beans weren't very good either. I didn't read the reviews before coming here, but I wish I would have. I would not recommend this place if you are wanting to eat. Maybe come here if you want to sit on a patio and have a beer. read more

I love this place. The food is great and the service was wonderful. The patio seating is a great choice but make sure you come during the day to see the beautiful view. Unfortunately we went after the sunset so we couldn't see it but the night view wasn't that bad. read more

The County Line - Hearty 2 Meat Platter - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

This was very good cue at a reasonable price. It's a cool casual setting to pig-out with friends. The portion sizes are huge. I can really eat, but I could only handle the 3-Meat Combo (brisket, sausage & ribs with slaw & fried okra sides) instead of the 5-Meat or the all you can eat family style Country BBQ. (That looked good but we were not hungry enough to do justice to that.) Get the 2nd-Tier marbled brisket, because the lean brisket (not meant to be) was a bit dry, but still good. The ribs were solid, not incredible... but quite good. But the sausage was unbelievable! (I am not usually a big sausage fan, but in Texas... sausage is always on a different level, and this one nailed it.) And it is almost impossible, but save some room for the home-made ice cream or cobbler ala mode. We had the peach and blackberry cobbler. Both rocked it. read more

The County Line - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

Was not impressed at all. I ordered a ribeye(medium) and half of it was medium then other half was well done. Super dry and chewy. The Mac and cheese is just mush with with no flavor. Same with the green beans, mush with no flavor and taste like they are from a can. Sweet tea was good, fried pickles were good and fried okra was good. I've never judged a restaurant so hard but I was so excited to try this place out and was just so disappointed. I'd rather go to chilis‍ read more

I came here in a large group after Texas graduation. The location is about 20 minutes outside of Austin. We had reservations at 3:30 pm, and they seated us after about 5 minutes. Parking: Plenty of parking in the lot right in front. Atmosphere: The decor is very southern/country style. The bathrooms have this sort of "learn how to speak country" that is humorous. There is an outdoor patio area available to eat with a nice view of downtown Austin. However, we ate inside. Service: Nothing special. Honestly, I was unimpressed by our server. Somehow, my friend 2 seats away from me got my order and I got his order. I'm very confused as to how this could happen, but I was paying attention and noticed, so we switched our plates and didn't need to saying anything to the service. Food: They brought out bread as an appetizer of sorts. There were normal rolls and this sort of sweet bread that was relatively heavy. I ordered the two meat plate with beef rib, moist brisket, mac and cheese, and cole slaw. The beef rib was underwhelming and not tender. It was tough to eat off the bone. The moist brisket was average and was delicious. The mac and cheese was really unimpressive, tasted just like boxed Kraft mac and cheese. The cole slaw was chunky, and the lettuce was not sliced up well. I also tried my friend's sausage; take my advice, don't get it. There is a great view of downtown Austin from the outdoor patio. The moist brisket and bread were edible. I grossly overestimated this place. The 2 meat plate I ordered with tax and tip was like $17 or something. I would strongly recommend trying another barbecue place in the downtown Austin area. read more

Had a lean brisket plate. The brisket was super good. The sides not so much. Paid extra for garlic mashed potatoes-they were gluey with no flavor. The fried okra was better but not great. The free bread had a very odd flavor for my taste and I normally love bread and butter. All at my table said the sides lacked seasoning. On the positive side, there is a very pretty view at sunset read more

We each had the 12 ounce sirloin, really juicy and cooked just right! Most places charge extra for mushrooms sautéed in wine and butter, so heads up, if you are allergic to mushrooms like me, it is not listed on the menu. When they brought my steak, luscious as it was, I had to send mine back. Instead of being upset, the manager had another placed On the grill immediately, and actually came out personally to apologize, amazing staff. The steak came fast and fresh and lived up to Texas bragging! I had the garlic mashed and they were great! Fantastic! sunset! Friendly historic setting! Was on the must see list and better that it stays there! read more
