"This is proper old school, no-frills Austin BBQ. From the outside, this East Austin restaurant looks a little rundown. But inside, the food is very much on point. A recent winner of a Black Food Week award, they KNOW how to cook meat to perfection, and have been doing so for decades, at great value prices. "You don't need teeth to eat my meat," is the restaurant's motto, painted in giant letters on the wall. And that sentiment does ring true: the brisket is cut thick and served super soft. The half-chicken is also incredibly good, falling straight off the bone. The MVP—a gargantuan, overflowing BBQ sandwich—does necessitate the application of canines, but is well worthwhile." - Jonathan Thompson
