BBQ & Cajun fare with brisket gumbo, smoked meats, queso

























"Opened by barbecue restaurateur Shane Stiles of Stiles Switch in Austin, this Central Texas addition in Belterra Village has added some Tex-Mex flavors to its menu as of late. In addition to smoked meats like prime brisket, diners can enjoy specialty items such as Truck Stop Brisket Enchiladas, building upon the brisket taco by spicing it up with a scoop of chile con carne. Stop in for the Sunday brunch buffet for even more deliciousness, including a carving station with smoked tri-tip steak." - Cynthia Drake


"A barbecue restaurant in Austin where Stratton has also worked, included as part of his local restaurant background." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Revered Austin barbecue restaurant Stiles Switch opened this Hill Country restaurant combining barbecue and Cajun fare. This means dishes such as gumbo full of smoked brisket and sausage alongside the expected meats lineup (brisket, sausage, turkey, pulled pork, etc.). Takeout (online and call-ahead), Door Dash delivery, and indoor/outdoor dine-in services are available." - Nadia Chaudhury


"I noted that Stiles Switch BBQ & Brew’s annual holiday meal specials started yesterday and will run for 10 days this year (short of the usual 12 because the restaurant is closed during two days); highlights include chicken-fried beef ribs, a barbecue taco made with Comedor chef Philip Speer, tamales, the migas kolache by chef Callie Speer, and a smoked Tomahawk ribeye for the restaurant’s ninth anniversary on Thursday, December 17, with the specials available for takeout and dine-in at both Stiles locations and at sibling restaurant the Switch in Belterra Village." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Located in Belterra Village, this barbecue and Cajun restaurant is offering a week of daily Tex‑Mex smoked meat specials ahead of Thanksgiving called Switch‑Mex Week; the lineup features smoked chicken relleno, brisket tamales, and smoked carnitas tacos, among other items, and the dishes are available to‑go and for dine‑in from Wednesday, November 18 through Sunday, November 22." - Nadia Chaudhury
