Kolek planning to go pro
Heading down to Austin a week from Wednesday. Wondering if anyone has recommendations for the best barbecue in the area. Will have a rental car so will be able to head out of downtown if needed.Was in Austin in 2010 for a week so have some ideas of things to do but if anyone wants to make any suggestions those are also welcome. Just a quick Wednesday to Saturday trip.Thanks in advance. Scoop is always great for travel recommendations.

That looks fantastic.The last time I was in Austin I think I remember driving about 30-45 minutes outside of downtown to the middle of nowhere to get barbecue. It was at a giant barn looking place with like school cafeteria tables, school lunch trays with no utensils or sauces, bought meat by the half or full pound, and they threw a stack of Wonderbread on your tray as a side. Does anybody have a clue what I'm talking about?
Sounds like Salt Lick.https://saltlickbbq.com/private-dining-room/Navigate the image map out of the private room, and that's the main room.
Seconded.If in the mood for beer and a long afternoon, check out Jester King. Great pizza too.
Saltlick is over-rated. More of the touristy destination place.
Opinions may vary. However, yours is WRONG!
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I visit Austin probably 8 to 10 times a year. Franklin's or La BarbecueAlso good is Freedmen's. Some people like Black's and Mickelthwait
If you are up for a road trip, some dude tipped me off to Fargos bbq in Bryant Good recommendation... dude was kinda shady though.
Wait! Who are we??There's gotta be an Arby's nearby.
