Smoked meats, local beer, movie nostalgia, and classic sides
"Meats from this Brentwood, Cedar Park, and Dripping Springs favorite hold up well, thanks to low-and-slow smoking. Go for the brisket and spicy sausage, with a scoop of corn casserole or macaroni and cheese. End with the peach cobbler or chocolate cake if you’re feeling indulgent. Order directly on its website." - Darcie Duttweiler
"When people are visiting from out of town and it’s the middle of the summer and it’s just too hot to eat outside, we go to Stiles Switch because they offer a few things: beer on tap, an indoor air-conditioned space (there’s also a patio), and most importantly, consistently solid Central Texas barbecue. We’re also big fans of their smoked chicken wings and their rich but airy corn casserole." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"The Brentwood barbecue restaurant is an easy neighborhood spot, with plentiful seating, meats by the pound, and minimal lines. Stiles Switch keeps things interesting with daily specials like smoked prime rib, chicken wings, and enchiladas. Lead pitmaster Lance Kirkpatrick trained under the legendary Bobby Mueller in Taylor. There’s a second location in Cedar Park and a Cajun-focused offshoot out in Dripping Springs. Service style: counter-service with indoor and patio dine-in areas; takeout orders can be placed online or in person. Line situation: Minimal Days and hours: Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Recommended orders: brisket, beef ribs, pork ribs, turkey, sausages, smoked half-chickens, barbecue sandwiches, and peach cobbler." - Erin Russell
"A barbecue spot chosen by Twin Peaks actor Kyle MacLachlan while in town; he posted an Instagram video of himself biting into a rib set to Justin Bieber's "Life is Worth Living," with the caption, "It's the little luxuries." - Courtney E. Smith
"The oak-smoked wings at the barbecue spot Stiles Switch are flash-fried and then tossed in one of their sauces—either Alabama white, buffalo, or honey barbecue. These used to be a special only available on Sundays—to go with pro football games. And that’s exactly what they’re aiming to be: classic sports bar-style wings, with the requisite ranch for dipping and some celery sticks for good measure. Lucky for you though, because these wings are now available six days a week." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
