The 20 Best Downtown Austin Restaurants - Austin - The Infatuation

"Barbecue in Austin is very much a daytime meal, with some of the best spots in the city hanging up their “sold out” signs after lunch. So what do you do when meat cravings strike after the sun goes down? You head to Lamberts. This is “fancy barbecue,” which means that in addition to the Central Texas classics—like brisket, pork ribs, sausage, and queso—Lamberts also does things like wild boar ribs with honey and sambal, or juniper and black pepper lamb ribs. Expect to pay considerably more than at that trailer down the street from your house, but at least here you can enjoy a meal with cocktails, beer, wine, and an extensive whiskey list." - nicolai mccrary
