The Best Barbecue Restaurants in Austin

"The Eater Award-winning barbecue pop-up-turned-barbecue truck offers Egyptian-Texan smoked meats courtesy of James Beard Award semifinalist pitmaster Kareem El-Ghayesh. The menu is fun and delicious, with barbecue-topped rice bowls, stuffed pitas, and tahini. The location at MLK neighborhood brewery Oddwood Brewing makes it that much easier to pair beers with meats. Service style: food truck-style service with indoor and outdoor dine-in areas courtesy of the host site; takeout orders can be placed online or in person. Days and hours: Thursday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. or until everything is sold out; Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. or until everything is sold out. Line situation: Medium — expect to wait less than an hour. Recommended orders: brisket, lamb bacon ribs, pomegranate-glazed pork ribs, kebabs, brisket rice bowl, and the cardamom and pistachio rice pudding." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell
