"A barbecue operator’s Southpark Meadows location is closing after the co-owner decided not to renew the lease amid concerns about rising costs, though the landlord says the owners were locked out for unpaid rent; the landlord is reportedly in talks with other barbecue operators to take the space. Meanwhile, the long-running Barton Springs outpost is undergoing a revival after staff, including the director of operations, teamed up to purchase that space following a previous landlord lockout for unpaid rent." - Brittany Britto Garley
"The Zilker barbecue restaurant’s chicken wings are first smoked, and then drenched in sauce, which takes the bird to a whole other level. Takeout orders can be placed over the phone. There are also third-party deliveries (Uber Eats, EZ Catering). There are indoor and outdoor dining options at the restaurant." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Named as one of the reviewer’s regular barbecue staples." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Green Mesquite has been around since the late ‘80s, so it’s fair to say they’ve had some time to figure things out. The focus here is barbecue—something they do very well—but you’re not reading a barbecue guide right now. Here the wings are smoked, and tossed in a tangy barbecue sauce, with just enough heat to make it a little fun. And the smoke flavor really makes it all the way through the wings. There are three locations: the original off Barton Springs, one in the Southpark Meadows shopping center, and one in San Marcos. " - raphael brion, nicolai mccrary
