Good, fast, friendly. No frills or fancy you will enjoy this hole in the wall BBQ joint. I had a chopped brisket and sausage sandwich but I plan to return for some ribs. They looked really good. read more

In Yelp terms, Woohoo! As good as it gets! I'm talking about their sausage. Probably the best sasuage I've ever eaten. Better than any sausage in Lockhart. The brisket is pretty good, maybe not as good as Rudys (I'm still looking for great brisket in Austin since moving from Fort Worth) I'm a sucker for hole in the wall Texas bar b que joints at the end of the day. Really enjoy this place. read more

I saw it one day when i was driving on HWY 71, and i searched it on yelp to see the reviews. They seemed good so I went. I am sure glad I did. The people were very friendly, the food was very good. I ordered the 2 meat plate with brisket and ribs. The ribs were very tender. The brisket was very good, not as tender as i was hoping, but i am perfectly fine with that. The sauce, tangy, like i like it. And it was WARM, big plus. The potato salad isn't too bad, but i am biased towards the way my mom makes it, ha. The beans were okay. I was the only one in line when I got there. But as I was sitting down to eat, the line started to build. About 15-20 people came in. But it moved very quickly. I will be definitely be going back when I am in the area. read more

This is nice joint. They have great beans and pork ribs. The beef ribs cling to the bone, but this is good BBQ place. The service is also good, but their tray and buffet/assembly line methods were a little confusing. Why I'm I, the customer, putting some of my food unto my plate? Later, however, I found myself pigging out on the meal while watching an episode of Little House On the Prairie on their television set. It was a fun albeit odd dining experience. read more

Good old fashioned Texas BBQ. Great place. Great staff. Sweeeeeeet tea is definitely sweeeeeeet. Parking is not the best, but way better than downtown. read more

Was in the area and stopped in here one day for lunch and was very impressed! I of course had to try it all - brisket, sausage and chicken. They were all delicious I have to say, but I liked the brisket the most. Got some potato salad and corn, and tried the hush puppies too which were very tasty. Would absolutely recommend ! read more

I have only tried the brisket once on a taco and it was very good. For breakfast tacos they're a hidden gem, fast, consistently delicious and cheap. I give a call on the way to work and run in. Friendly folks too read more

$30 for two plates and two drinks. Worst BBQ I've ever had. No smokey taste on ribs or brisket. Sausage was mushy and weird. Pinto beans had a funky watery taste. Green beans were certainly canned from Ben E. Keith. The only good part of this meal was the potato salad and sweet tea. Waste of time, money and calories. read more

To hell with this place Walked in with a bottle of water to make a to go order and this insane lady behind the register starts screaming (in a place full of customers) "OOOOH THAT AN OUTSIDE DRINK THATS NOT ALLOWED YOU CANT BRING THAT IN HERE!!" It was so embarrassing. Told her I was going to place a to go order and she the changed her tune "Oh that's okay." But I changed my mind considering how she had treated me without a word. I said "No thanks I don't want to eat here anymore." She screamed after me "NO ITS OK IF ITS TO GO YOU CAN EAT HERE ITS OKAY!" No, screw that place and screw their crappy employees. The BBQ is okay but never again. I live right across the street and I'm never going back to this horrible establishment if that's the way they treat potential customers. REALLY?! You want to treat me like garbage because I have a bottle of water? You're worried about outside drinks? Worried about WATER? Are you hurting extra soft drink money that bad? Vic's BBQ? More like Dick's BBQ. read more

Stopped in this morning for 2 breakfast tacos and $5.25. Personally I'm old school and still believe that breakfast tacos should be $1-$1.50 max per taco so 5.25 seemed a little steep for 2 tacos. I got a brisket taco and a potato egg and cheese and I'll admit they were tasty but for $5.25 the should have been better. read more

Little ole good bbq place close to home. I'm so excited to have discovered this little gem that apparently has been sitting here for thirty plus years, specializing is awesome bbq. The three meat combo will give you a little taste of pretty much everything. Asked for ribs, sausage and brisket. The brisket and sausage were heavenly, the ribs a bit too hard and dry for my taste. They come with potato salad, beans, bread, pickles and onions. Their sauce is pretty flavorful, nice! The staff is just so friendly and helpful. Love this joint. Must must must visit now! Open everyday pretty much toll 7 or 8. No sundays :( but I still like you guys! read more

The only reason I'm giving this place 2stars is for the service. The people were nice but the food was not what I expected of bbq. The Bbq sauce did NOT taste like bbq sauce. It was okay food. I didn't even finish all my food. One plate for 3 meats and 2sides And a water was $13 a all I got was a chicken breast half a sausage and one rib. Yes 1 rib. And there wasn't any baked beans. That's not Bbq read more

Duke sandwich was pretty good. Onion rings were prebreaded, but were fried when I ordered and a good portion. I would definitely come back.

I don't know about you, but I consider it at best tacky to charge patrons who spend 10 plus dollars on a plate of food for self service tap water. The bbq was okay. That's all. read more

A-OK bbq - i come here more than any other bbq joint in town. Why? They are consistent with their bbq, lines are short and its an overall good bbq joint. Their brisket is ok, you have to try their pork ribs! Jezzzz.. its really good! Sausage and pork steak is also worth a try. read more

Tried it today for the first time. When I walked in the line was to the door but it moved quickly. I got The Duke. Fab-u-lous!!!! Pork ribs looks so inviting so I had to try them too let me just say these are the best pork ribs I have ever had. Very moist not salty like Rudy's or the Salt Lick. A hint of sweetness that totally . And to top it off their iced tea is the best I've ever had in a restaurant. Very anxious to go back and try other things on the menu read more

Great food coming back again for sure!!!! Friendly service quality customer service and great atmosphere the sliced beef is amazing!!!!!

I used to live a mile from Vic's. While their beans are pretty gross, their brisket is darn awesome. Get thine self a brisket sandwich to go. Staying might be a lil too creepy. read more

Idk how this place has such high prices for such lame bbq ... theirr briskeT was dry and looked old potato salad is good tho ... probably get better somewhere else .. read more

I used to go there every Saturday and buy multiple tacos for me and my co-workers till one day i was accused of taking tacos. The lady was not only rude but she accused me and told me they had it on camara after she personally gave me the bag. I guess she was expecting me to do her job and double check the bag. The food is great but customers services sucks. It sads but this happens alot to family bussines they know they make money so they dont focus in customer srvice. Long story short, you will never see me here again and I rather starved than giving my bussines to organizations that have no customer service such as Vic's Bar-B-Que. You guys are overrated and there multiple BBQ places in Austin so you guys need to chill your rudness. Amen. read more

I've been eating lunch at Vic's for 20 years or more. I always get the Duke sandwich and it has yet to disappoint. Nothing flashy or outstanding but the brisket is good (never had a dry cut), the sides are good and their tea is always fresh. The only big disappointment I've had at Vic's was at breakfast. I don't want tortillas from a bag with my breakfast. read more

Just had the grilled chicken and roasted corn at a downtown food truck in the middle of a festival. These guys chicken was fantastic! We'll have to pay the restaurant a visit. read more

It's not the best BBQ I've had but it hits the spot when I'm craving some and not in the mood to fight the crowds somewhere else. The meat has a great flavor and the potato salad may be my favorite in Austin. My only gripe is the serving size of ribs isn't exactly generous. read more

I am fat, dumb, and happy. Should start with the fact that I love fatty meat. Found Vic's by accident, passing by and looking for a good meaty meal. I am in love. Got the brisket and ribs and had to share with my housemate, they were so good. He prefers a little leaner meat, but he agreed it was tasty stuff. The sauce is a good balanced mild sauce. I don't know if they make it or buy it, but it complements the meat perfectly. Best eaten naked over the kitchen sink. read more

I used to live in this area of town but never even knew that Vic's existed. A co-worker of mine suggested it today for lunch and I am very happy about the recommendation. I got the 2 meat plate of moist brisket and sausage. The plate also came with a side of beans and potato salad. The meats were very good and I liked the bbq sauce. Not too sweet or tangy or spicy. Everything was just right. I also liked the service that we got there. I am not sure if it's family owned and operated but I really got the feeling that it was. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. Next time I am in the area and hungry for bbq I will be going back to Vic's. read more

Its edible BBQ nothing special. If your hungry it will fill you up. There is a reason they have been in Austin so long (27 plus years) and they have little to no reputation. How many people have you heard " Man you have to hit up Vic's while you are in town!" Two reasons I feel 1. They are over priced and the BBQ is is average at best 2. They are way over priced on said BBQ. On a more positve note the people next to me ordered a cheese burger that looked amazing I am a burger lover so I will be coming back at least two more times once to try that delicious looking cheese burger and if that goes well again to try a breakfast taco both of which a FAR more fairly priced than any of there BBQ. I hope It goes well I will let you know if you even care. lol read more

Overall great bbq that has been around a long time. Ribs are top 10 I've had. Sausage is nothing special. Brisket is good except there is a sweetness to it if you are into that. read more

The BBQ here is good, especially the ribs, but what really makes Vic's is the breakfast tacos, which are among the best I've ever had. Ambiance is a little bit small-town BBQ and a little bit gangland. read more

In reading other reviews, and in talking to work colleagues on previous occurrences, yesterday's service and food quality issue happens often. Was there for the Friday lunch special (either Pork Steak or Beef Ribs). Have had tried both before and decided yesterday to choose based on which looked best in the glass case where they place their meat prior to plating. At first I was going to choose the beef ribs as they looked good AND the pork steak on top looked like it may have been sitting there awhile, looked dry, and had an extra thick layer of fat gristle along the front edge. However, the guy in front of me ordered pork steak and the server pulled the pork steak from below the one that didn't look good. So, you guessed it, I ordered the pork steak and the server picked the one on top with the extra fatty/gristle. I immediately asked, "may I have a different steak please"? I got an automatic negative response of "they're all the same" and he continued to cut the steak and prep the plate. I could have made an issue about it, but decided to go with the flow. Turns out the steak was "ok" and edible, though it was exactly as I could see it was in the glass case; slightly dried out, with a thick piece of inedible fatty gristle. So to summarize, eating at Vic's can be hit-and-miss. The food can be very good, but it can also be sitting around too long (they don't smoke it onsite) like the pork steak they gave me. The service is what it is. They have a steady enough amount of repeat business that they get away with poor customer service skills. As long as you know that going in, enjoy the food (if it's on a good day). read more

The brisket is moist and marbled. sauce is different than other places, less thick more runny. Sausage needs flavor, salt maybe. The banana pudding is good. read more

The food is delicious, the workers are great they all know us but the portions are small and I don't think the digital scale is accurate. The meat portions get smaller and smaller read more

this place is so well known for its bbq! its so delicious, best bbq in town if you ask me. always come here and has such friendly service. Their pork steak is so amazing. amazing! read more

Absolutely delicious !! Smoky,tender,tangy.The meat was falling off the bone,and the brisket was so tender your toothless grandma and baby could eat it ! The potato salad was even great(i don't usually like)the spicy BBQ sauce was delicious and spicy,and the beans? I eat ALOT of beans and these were some of the best I have ever tasted.Modest accomodations,but this is real BBQ,all you need is a place to sit and your fingers.My first official Texas BBQ and man,i can't wait to taste what else is out there.Ubetcha !! read more

This BBQ is super high quality for a cheaper price, especially compared to a lot of the other popular BBQ places around Austin. It was also nice that this place was not as busy with no wait time at all. the brisket and sausage is to die for! read more

Stopped here during our road trip from Cali to Austin. We came in time for their breakfast tacos. They were all great but a bit greasy. So of course I loved them, but my GF wasn't as thrilled. read more

Eating out on your lunch break is not always the easy. Your time and choices are constricted. There are a handful of barbecue joints that I can make it to within reason. Vic's BBQ is the closest one. The first and only time I ate there was right after I started working for Progressive Insurance. I remember it being decent, but some of my co-workers swear by it. When I got there, the parking lost was packed. Every time I drive by it, it looks packed. Is that supposed to be a good sign? Inside there were people but not as many that the parking lot would indicate. The atmosphere had a working class feel to it. Everyone in there seems like they were on their lunch break between jobsites. I ordered the three meat plate with the usual meats of moist brisket, pork ribs, and sausage. I got coleslaw and potato salad on the side. The brisket was surprisingly decent. It was very tender, and the smoke ring and flavor were superb. I did not need any barbecue sauce for it. The pork rib was tender but not falling off the bone. The rub and smoke gave it nice flavor. The sausage was probably one of the better commercial sausages I have ever had. It had the just right amount of fat. The casing and grit of the sausage was on point. The coleslaw and potato were bland. Nothing special to write about. It is a solid barbecue restaurant. It is definitely worth a visit. It is relatively cheap, and they are pretty quick in getting you in and out. Vic's is barbecue for the everyday working man. Going into this visit, I would have guess I would have given them a lower grade. I was pleasantly surprised. read more

Went in at the end of the day and the BBQ was excellent. Good prices for fantastic food.

Brisket!! Brisket!! Brisket!! this place is for brisket lovers. I love their brisket!! It's very tender and moist. It seasoned just about right. It's very simple, and nothing fancy, but executed really well. Also the price is just right! Their BBQ sauce had a little bit of kick to it, but it's not overwhelmingly spicy. It's sweet and tangy as well. This is not a fancy place at all, in fact it's very low key and extremely casual. Great take out place!! I look for good side dishes in BBQ places. The only thing I wish they would do better is their potato salad. Personally, it's too much mayo and lacking texture.. But their beans are great. It comes with potato salad, beans, almost half a loaf of white bread, dill pickles, and onions. Everyone in this joint is very friendly. It's very fast service, so if you are in a hurry, you don't have to worry about being late. I've tried several neighborhood BBQ places in this neighborhood, but this place is my favorite! They close pretty early.., but that makes it even more special in a weird sort of way. When you are craving for BBQ, you want to get here on time!! If you are looking for a BBQ take out place near 78704 area, I highly recommend this place. read more

This place is a good spot to hit if you're making a quick stop-over at Austin's airport. I've been here a couple of times at the recommendation of the folks at Signature Aviation and it was pretty good. Not the best BBQ I've had in my life, but still good. The brisket is definitely the way to go, along with some banana pudding. It's also cheap and fast, which is a bonus. I like it, I'm sure I'll be back again. read more

Great BBQ and friendly staff. Lunch hit the spot! Staff made great recommendations and super fun environment!
