This is our kind of BBQ joint. Nothing fancy, nothing pretentious, just good, down-home Texas BBQ served fast and friendly. The owner came right up to the window, talked us through what they had and told us about the day's special. Just good old-fashioned hospitality. We had the pulled pork and brisket sandwiches, and both were delicious. And whoever decided to toast those buns knew what they were doing - that little extra touch made a good sandwich even better. The place is simple, no-frills and gets right down to business: good BBQ, friendly folks and quick service. Exactly the kind of hometown spot you hope to stumble across in a Texas town. We'll sure be back next time we're through Lampasas read more

Marginal food, self service, no ambiance at all. This is a town with very few choices for dining out. You'd have to try real hard to put up a more un-appealing storefront and ordering station than those at Young's BBQ. Crude set-up, lackluster atmosphere with sloppy hand scribbled notes taped or thumbtacked to most of the walls, cheap paper plates, all plastic eating utensils -- just a sad way to see a restaurant being run. A smart investor would build a clean, pleasant, well-run barbecue restaurant in Lampasas... right next door. I had the pork ribs, cold and disappointing. The pinto beans were tasty but room temperature. "Would you like something to drink? Get it yourself!" And half of the drink selections were out of order with handwritten notes stuck to the dispensers. Our order was 2 pork ribs for me and tea to drink; a chopped sandwich and tea for my lunchtime companion... nearly $35 Never, ever again. By the way, the kitchen lady came out wearing a gray tee-shirt with a word across the front -- It said, "BULLS***!" I had to wholeheartedly agree. But that's about all they got right. read more

Really good food. I picked up the slice beef sandwich. Awesome flavor and taste. Excellent pit-master. Other in party got the pulled pork plate. Large portion and worth the price. Driving through this is a must stop. I will be back for sure. Cash and Venmo only . read more

Food is great and the service is super friendly! Just be sure to bring cash or be ready to pay with Venmo. The BBQ is fantastic--moist, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The beans taste homemade, and the coleslaw has a nice fresh crunch that ties everything together. Definitely worth a stop if you're craving good BBQ! read more

We had lunch today and it was absolutely delicious. My husband had a brisket sandwich and I had a pulled pork. Both were outstanding. Their barbecue sauce is absolutely perfect. Great balance between vinegar and sweet and a nice black pepper kick. We had our two Jack Russell pups with us (Whisky and Pippa). They shared a half chicken. We both LOVED the small bites of the chicken we "tested" before letting the pups have their lunch. The family who owned the business are kind,friendly and amazing cooks. Thank you for the perfect lunch and warm hospitality. Mona read more

Good food! Great service! Dog friendly! Driving through Lampasas after Thanksgiving with the family. My fiance was in the mood for barbecue. We stopped in this BBQ establishment and we're pleasantly surprised. The staff were friendly. The portions were good. The chopped beef was not fatty at all. The tangy sauce complimented the meat perfectly. Thevprices were a little high for a small town but I guess that is common these days. The restaurant had sold out of a few items earlier but we will stop back on our next drive through town. read more

Lady behind the counter was grouchy and my chopped beef sandwich was full of fat. Very disappointed.

This place is the full package--fantastic food, genuine hospitality, and people who truly care about their customers. They treat every single person like family, and it shows in every visit. It's such a treat to have them in the community! Thank you guys and Shiloh also gives you 5 paws up (even though she only has four) read more

So delicious! Moist bbq and very flavorful! Treats customers with kindness! Yum! Mac and cheese was also delicious.

Great bbq spot in Lampasas that I found craving after hiking in Colorado Bend state park. Only bbq spot I found open late and dog friendly with outdoor seating. Service was very kind and asked if it's our first time which it was. Opted for the 3 meat plate to try a little of everything. The brisket was so juicy and moist, the pulled pork was flavorful, and the ribs fell right off the bone. The sauce was the perfect pairing to go with the meat. Not too sweet or thick, right amount of acidity. Great prices too and nice and clean outdoor seating was available. read more

Overall good BBQ for the price and location. Brisket was moist and decently seasoned. The sausage had good flavor and texture.

Customer service is horrible!! Lady behind the counter was terribly rude! The BBQ was overly greasy bathed in it! The brisket should have had a smoke ring and i saw none. Asking for pork ribs apparently was a very sore subject! Oh guess what they ran out in the middle of the day!! There are no signs until you get inside stating cash or Venmo only no cards none!! Oh and no desserts! I guess they did us a favor. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone! Not going back! read more

Their smoked Cajun turkey was so good and full of sweet heat flavor. Then I got to their super good brisket that was juicy, yet smoked to perfection and had a good seasoning rub just massaged into the brisket!!! read more

As soon as you step into Young's BBQ, you feel at home as you are greeted warmly by the staff. I got the double meat plate with brisket and pulled pork. It did not disappoint, it was both fatty and tasty- satisfying every craving for authentic bbq that I had. The potato salad was exceptional too- vinegar-y and had chunks of potato! The ambiance felt like you were dining with family as the employees clearly enjoyed being there and continuously checked in with us to see if we needed anything. We were given complimentary cookies and bread pudding with our meal. Besides the food being authentically good, it was the generosity of the workers that really made my day and will inspire me to return. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality! read more

This was our first time and won't be our last! Absolutely delicious food, everyone working there were so friendly and helpful, great relaxed atmosphere-we were able to visit with our out of state company for 3 hours!!! read more

If you pass through here on your way., this is the best stop. I had the chicken plate, and the ribs were on special. Everything was spot on. It was real, true Texas bbq. I almost had to leave Texas without any good bbq. I had tried other places. This place is the real deal. I made it to the Rockies before I finished it all. My car smelled like home the whole time. I cannot tell you how good these ribs were in the mountains. It was one of the best bbq experiences. The sauce here is first class, the wood was correct. They were very nice to road weary patrons. I wish I had more sauce. read more

My breakfast was delicious, the service was quick, and the booth was comfortable. All at a great price! read more

Great beef. Owner so friendly and very attentive to if there are needs. My husband says some of the best he has ever had.

I've been to Lampasas 3x in the past month and the first two trips were early in the week when Youngs is closed so I was super excited to try it today. My fiance and I split a 3 meat plate with pulled pork, brisket, and jalapeño cheese sausage. For sides, we got potato salad and beans. The meats were all fantastic! The spicy, sweet, and sour sauce complemented them perfectly too. Potato salad was solid and beans were ok. Will definitely go back! read more

Passing through on our way back home to Austin. I've had a lot of bbq in my life and this was really good. Had the 1 meat plate with brisket, beans and potato salad. Brisket was the perfect consistency. BBQ and sides were a little salty so I only gave it a 4. Customer service was good and the restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. read more

We always make time to stop by Mrs. Young's barbecue whenever we visit from Austin. We especially love the turkey barbecue, the best in the world. She is a very wonderful and a very sweet lady who has run this business for years. She always comes out and greet every visitor. Much appreciated for her hospitality and great food!!! read more

If you like small town vibes and home cooked bbq, this is definitely your place to go! The staff was so sweet and the food was FANTASTIC! I ordered a sausage plate with potato salad and beans and it met all my expectations! The bbq sauce was just what I needed, it's a mixture between Carolina and Texas and was PERFECT!! Highly recommend this place!! read more

Really dang good barbecue. Mesquite smoke was perfect. Went with my whole family on our roadtrip and ordered the 3 meat plate with brisket, turkey and sausage. Everything was fantastic. We're from Austin and eat BBQ regularly - this place is DELICIOUS and way better than most places in Austin. We also loved the fresh coleslaw and their beans. The people were really sweet there too and welcomed us and our little ones. We'll be back! read more

On the way to our Airbnb at Fredericksburg, we wanted to stop by and get a light snack. We got a brisket sandwich, cole slaw, and a pickle. The sandwich was great. We enjoyed the delicious smoky brisket, and the portion was very generous. We also loved the cole slaw as much as the sandwich. It was fresh, and had the perfect amount of sugar and vinegar. So good! The serve staff was very friendly. I am sure there are a lot of other items I could try if I come back again. If you are passing through here, stop by and give it a try. In fact, the recommended their turkey, but it was out. So give it a try and let us know. read more

Ordered 2 sausage wraps and it was 20 dollars. The sausage wraps were very tasty. However, Maybe add some coleslaw to it and it would be better for the price. Feel like it was expensive for no side. read more

I've had the BBQ in the past (it's good) but this review is for the breakfast. It is sooooo good! One of the best breakfast burritos I've had that I didn't make myself. I went for bacon, eggs, hash browns and brisket. Damn. There were more options but this is the perfect combo for me. Spouse had the light breakfast which is the standard fare of toast, hash browns, sausage patties and two eggs. Nothing lite about it. It was filling and delish. Kids had waffles. Important to me was that the tea was good. So many BBQ places have stale, moldy tasting tea. This was clean and sweet. Price was great. Same breakfast in Austin would run you $35-$50. Staff were all super nice. read more

Never have brisket that taste as good as my husbands but this place is amazing. We are both eating our sandwiches saying this is the best brisket ever. Great smokey flavor and the sauce isn't too overpowering. Called ahead and picked it up on road trip, we will be grabbing this again anytime we drive through Lampasses. read more

What this place really has going for it is variety. My husband was able to order breakfast, while I ordered a brisket Sandwich for lunch. Unfortunately, while the brisket was flavored well, it was a little dry - just added more sauce. My husband had a good breakfast with two meats, eggs, hash browns. They had several types of stubborn soda and big red in their fountain dispenser. I saw they also had lemonade anti. I went for the blackberry soda which I really enjoyed. The bathroom was clean when I visited it. They have above average paper products in the bathroom which was a nice touch. read more

Good stop for barbecue. We had chopped brisket and it was served on a nice size toasted bun and it was very tasty. The potato salad and coleslaw sides were good as well. Staff were friendly and service oriented.l read more

Wow! Stopped by this stop for the first time on the way to the deer lease and it was really good! We love BBQ so always enjoy trying a new spot out. The ribs, jalopeno cheeser sausage, brisket, pea salad, and potato salad were all REALLY good!!! Do yourself a favor and try it out! Oh and their sweet tea is sooo good! read more

BBQ is a matter of much debate in Texas. As a 5th generation Texan I have had my fair share of BBQ in my life, and the following comments are MY opinion. I found Young's to be over priced (even with these inflated prices), limited menu and the fat I was served actually had a little meat on it. I'm far from a picky eater and eat to live, not vice-versa. Never again. read more

Some of the best BBQ I've had in west Texas. The regular sausage and pulled pork has to be my favorite. The pinto beans and potatoes salad were extremely good and some of the best I've had. Highly recommend stopping. read more

When you're in Texas, you think BBQ. I found myself in a small town about an hour and a half outside of Austin in a town called Lampasas. Do a search for BBQ and Youngs BBQ shows up. I believe they're the only show in town for BBQ. From what I could tell, they're a family owed restaurant and when I arrived in town, it only had 1 review with no photos. Well, now 2 reviews and I thought to give them a little social media PR by adding some of my own photos. I had the 2 meat combo with sliced beef and pork ribs. Both meats had great flavors on their own. Add their home made BBQ sauce and it gives it quite the zing! Note, they only have 1 type of BBQ sauce which is like a tangy peppery sauce. So, if you prefer a more traditional thick sweet sauce, it's not yet available or at least I didn't see it available. My recommendation to the owners would be to add a thick sweet BBQ sauce as an alternative to their tangy BBQ sauce they already serve. My meal also came with 2 sides so I chose their cole slaw and macaroni salad. Both are made from scratch. Their cole slaw is different as it is tossed in a vinaigrette type dressing vs the traditional white creamy dressing. So, if you ever find yourself passing through Lampasas, stop by Youngs BBQ and give them a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Super friendly folks and great BBQ. Excellent ribs and pulled pork. The brisket wasn't my favorite - I found it a bit dull although it was tender and juicy ((even at 6:30pm) - but there's plenty else to eat. Love the sauce - not too sweet and very tangy, and the vinaigrette coleslaw was the perfect crunchy tart antidote to the rich meat. Potato salad was ok but pretty standard. The warm cobbler comes in little glass jelly jars with canning lids - very clever. I would definitely return if I'm back this way. PS: byob - no liquor license, but they do have Mexican sodas (Mexican Coke, Fanta). read more

We made a trip from Sun City to Lampassas, Tx to eat at Young's BBQ after seeing the restaurant on an episode of the "Daytripper". We arrived after the lunchtime rush and ordered brisket, smoked Turkey , and jalapeño cheese sausage. The brisket was great with excellent smoky bark. The smoked Turkey was great. The sausage had a unique jalapeño/cheese and spice combination. We are really glad we saw the "Daytripper" episode and followed up with a day trip to Lampassas. read more
