"For barbecue, I’m partial to Stiles Switch, where I go straight for the brisket and ribs and, especially, the sides. You could take a vegetarian there and they’d enjoy it, and when my family visits from back East I bring them and they just love it." - Erin Russell
"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
