Contribute Feedback What Maximus Herman likes about Black's Barbecue Austin:
Parking is across the street in an open lot or 1 more street over is a covered garage that is free. Customer service from the staff is always friendly and they can answer any question you may have. I absolutely love their beef rib! 2 people can share it and get full! My least favorite item on the menu is the street corn. It can be greasy and lacks flavor in my opinion. There is seating inside and outside for your cho... View all feedback.
What Antonetta Langosh doesn't like about Black's Barbecue Austin:
Beef rib is awesome, moist and tender. Sides were good, Mac n' cheese, potato salad and Cole slaw. Pork ribs, pulled pork, pork sausage and brisket were very dry and was very disappointing. It might be better another day so give it a try but order 1/4lb servings instead of 1/2 lb to 1lbs like we did but we were very dissatisfied with our meal outside of the sides and beef rib.

I did my research and read the reviews and I knew that Blacks was NOT going to be my best Texas BBQ experience but it was close to my hotel so I stopped in for 6 ounces of brisket and some sides. Perhaps the brisket was sitting too long in the warmer but it was a bit dry, and lacked flavor. (Although their BBQ sauce was very good and helped out the brisket.. The green beans and Cole slaw were fine' the peach cobbler meh. Next stop Franklins.
I’m sorry to be negative but I feel obligated to write this. We were in from out of state and had to get some BBQ while in Texas. This place was well-reviewed and very busy when we got there. Based on others’ comments something must have gone wrong here because there’s no way that people are lining up for and raving about this food. We got brisket and ribs plus street corn and mac n cheese. The meat had 2 flavors grease and smoke. Yuck! It was pretty dried out too. The sauce with it’s one-note vinegar hit couldn’t save it. The street corn also had only one flavor black pepper. No corn flavor let alone street corn flavor. Just intense black pepper. So gross! The mac n cheese was utterly forgettable. I feel bad about writing this but that was low-quality in every sense. The employees were very nice and the place had a nice vibe. But how could anyone enjoy that? Often when I have BBQ the hardest part is knowing when to stop because it’s delicious BBQ. This was a chore to eat and I just threw the rest out. I picked it up right on time too and dug in, I didn’t let it languish or or anything. Yuck
Excellent brisket! This is what I was hoping for out of real Texas BBQ
This was an unplanned stop for our tour, due to the cold weather and we are so happy for the stop! Brisket was AMAZING, our favorite sides were the corn and the green beans.
Love blacks bbq, but I am used for the decor and cleanliness of the san marcos location. this location was safe, dirty toilets and flies both in the restaurant as outside. the mülleimer for us to dispose of the teller at the end was a danger and simply a kind of dirt. my feeling on blacks bbq just fell from 5 from 5 to 3 from 5.
