"A go-to for Texas-style smoked meats in the Lowcountry, particularly praised for its brisket." - Erin Perkins
"Garrison Park’s Michelin-starred LeRoy & Lewis rewrites the barbecue rules with bold choices like smoked beef cheeks, cauliflower burnt ends, and pork hash. Lunch runs Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. until sellout — and be warned: sellout comes quick. The flatiron, beef cheeks, and brisket specifically go fast, so showing up early pays off. Grab a tray from the cafeteria-style line, pair it with a frozen Big Red Sangria, and call it a power lunch." - Darcie Duttweiler
"This celebrated, one-Michelin-starred barbecue joint in Garrison Park serves a burger worth seeking out. (It even received a shout-out on Somebody Feed Phil.) The juicy patty is a mix of brisket and beef, making for a smoky, decadent burger piled high with grilled onions, cheese, and sauce on a potato bun for $15. Have the burger with some sides or as a complement to a bigger group barbecue spread. For those dining on-site: There are plenty of tables indoors, and some picnic-style seating on the patio for when the weather is forgiving. Pro-tip: It may be a meat-centric spot, but don’t skip the vegetables, especially the cauliflower burnt ends." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Thankfully, this Michelin-starred new-school barbecue restaurant in Garrison Park is closed on Tuesdays instead of Mondays. That means that until 9 p.m., diners can enjoy Texas-style barbecue with a twist. Think beef cheeks, pulled whole hog, and even cauliflower burnt ends for your vegetarian friends. Don’t skip the tangy kimchi or a frozen Big Red sangria. Some popular meats do sell out at lunchtime, so the dinner menu can be a bit spotty, not just on Mondays." - Darcie Duttweiler
"The new-school Dawson neighborhood barbecue trailer and Eater Austin’s best food truck of 2017 from pitmaster Evan LeRoy finally opened its long-awaited physical restaurant down in the Garrison Park neighborhood. On deck is its fantastic twists on the usual meat classics, but now with way more options. Think beef cheeks on Fridays, cauliflower burnt ends, burgers, and more. And now there are drinks, tacos, and indoor space. (The original food truck in the Dawson neighborhood at Cosmic Coffee is now closed.) Service style: counter-service with indoor and patio dine-in areas; takeout orders can be placed in person. Days and hours: Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Line situation: Medium — expect to wait less than an hour Recommended orders: sliced beef, beef cheeks, cauliflower burnt ends, onion rings, brisket burger, and cheddar cheesecake." - Erin Russell
