Sam's BBQ

Barbecue restaurant · Central East Austin

@infatuation

"This East Austin spot has been barbecuing meats since 1957. And, in that time, they've become a smoke-billowing staple of the rapidly developing area around 12th and Chicon. Sam's has all the classics—smoked brisket, ribs, sausage, and the like—but our favorite thing to get is the mutton. It’s tender and a little gamey, tastes great smothered in tangy barbecue sauce, and comes with a pile of baked beans and macaroni." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
