"The County Line has been slow smokin' Texas BBQ since 1975, and the Lake venue is their second in Austin. The main appeal of this place is its location: a fantastic riverside setting with a great outdoor deck. The atmosphere is super relaxed—this is the kind of place for long, lazy lunches with a side of awesome views. BBQ connoisseurs love this place for a reason—and that reason is the superb second cut brisket (this has more marbling than the regular first cut, making it extremely tender and flavorful when cooked). The sides here are also a cut above, particularly the brisket-stuffed baked potato, the creamy potato salad, and the amazing homemade bread, which is absolutely heavenly when paired with the honey butter." - Jonathan Thompson
