Austin’s Salty Sow and Waylon J’s Serve a Smoke Break Barbecue Lunch | Eater Austin
"A daytime pop-up collaboration between a long-running dinner restaurant and a trailer-style barbecue team, built to put an underused parking lot to work. The program pairs a custom-made pit with a 1,000-gallon smoker and an experienced pitmaster with the restaurant’s kitchen staff, who handle sides and desserts; the result is an elevated barbecue-focused menu of sandwiches and platters. Standouts include a prime brisket that is sliced (not chopped) and served with pickles, slaw and au jus on a buttered, double-toasted Martin’s Potato Roll; a butter-basted white-meat turkey with Alabama white sauce; and a whole-hog sandwich finished with cracklin’ pork belly and a whiskey-maple/“gold” barbecue glaze. The offering also features a signature sausage described as moist and perfectly balanced, a Sichuan bacon rib with whiskey-maple mop and chili crisp, and classic sides like pinto beans, coleslaw, mac and cheese, and potato salad. Service runs Friday–Sunday from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. or until sold out, with plans to expand service days in the future." - Courtney E. Smith

Great experience every time. Marshawn is always super knowledgeable, friendly, and takes the time to make sure you get exactly what you’re looking for. He explains different flavors and devices without rushing or pushing a sale, which I really appreciate. The shop stays well stocked and the vibe is always welcoming. If Marshawn is working, you know you’re in good hands. Highly recommend!

Marshun, Omar, Amir—friendly, knowledgeable and courteous staff members! Always love coming in here and enjoy the Asian snacks. (They have hard to find Korean Fanta that has real juice in it and it’s AWESOME) definitely check it out. They also have nice vintage clothes right when you walk in if you’re interested :)
