Terry Black's is pretty good. Franklin's is lunch only, Terry Black's is open for dinner too.

Normally I go to County Line when I've got guests from out-of-state.
ETA: It's not near downtown. |

Terry Black's. The jalapeño-jack sausage is awesome.

The only place I know of is Cooper's BBQ on Congress (Congress & 3rd). However I don't think it's that great and don't get why it has such a following. It's also really expensive.

The beef ribs are great. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

try La Barbecue at 1906 E Cesar Chavez St. Had some brisket and Ribs this past Wednesday. The lean cut of the brisket and the Ribs were excellent. They are closed on Monday and Tuesdays.

Rent a car and drive to Lockhart, get your grub on at Black's, Smitty's, and Kreuz's. Travel a little further down 183 to Luling and check out Luling City Market.
If you have Saturday morning available, drive to Lexington and chow at Snow's, I would arrive when they open and no later than 10AM. IMHO all of these offer better 'cue than what is offered in Austin especially in the sausage department.

You hit it right on the head though I will add I agree with those above la barbecue is really good as well. You can get the genuine Blacks family BBQ that is offered in Lockhart and San Marcos on the drag (Guadalupe Street) on the weekends though I don't know exactly where. They don't smoke it there but they bring it in from either Lockhart or San Marcos (I don't remember which location). |

I've taken the family there a few times when visiting my parents in SA. I'm driving from DFW so I will have a car. |

The Coopers vary. The one in New Braunfela is the best of the three locations I've been to.

If you have a car, any of the big 3 in Lockhart is good but I'm personally partial to Black's.
The Salt Lick in Dripping springs is about the same distance and just as good. If you want in downtown Austin the Aforementioned Ironworks or Stubbs. |

So they have two times they have meat coming from the smokers ready. |

House Park BBQ, in the strip center at 12th St and North Lamar. Franklin's without the line, it's been around longer than Franklin's.
Second would be the Ironworks BBQ, Red River St and Cesar Chavez Blvd, next door to the convention center. Also, if you don't want BBQ, Texas Chili Parlor, 14th and Lavaca.

We where planning on barbecue on Monday night, but I got word from my co-workers that some wont even be in town and ready to leave until 7:30 because most of them are coming in from Seattle or Silicon Valley. |

I'm partial to Southside Market in Elgin - their brisket is the best I've tasted so far, and their bacon wrapped sausage slammers rock. Granted they're about 20 minutes east of Austin but worth the drive.
And while your there, don't forget to grab some of their homemade hot BBQ sauce. |

Stiles Switch is awesome, but further from downtown. Mickelthwaite is one of my favorites in town. Just east of 35 on 11th...past Franklins.

Granted they're about 20 minutes east of Austin but worth the drive. And while your there, don't forget to grab some of their homemade hot BBQ sauce. For the "hot gut", there is really nothing out there that tastes the same. Of course, I liked the old location downtown near the railroad tracks much more. And, I'm one of those that judges the restaurant by more than just the meat (unless I'm going just to eat the meat or take it home). So, my favorite experience for sit down BBQ is the County Line on the Lake. I agree with the guy above that says he takes visitors to the CL . . . it is a great place for this purpose. If you are a brisket, rib, or sausage "aficionado", then of course their are better places . . . but personal tastes as to what is great will come into play. By no means is the brisket, pork ribs, and sausage at the CL crap. My family enjoys gathering at the CL often. There are so many good BBQ places in central Texas that I hesitate to say that one is better than the other. Most have something unique to offer and variety in life is one of our greatest joys. |

Found out they are closing the doors for good in a few months. The place is falling in disrepair and the cost to update and remodel are just too much. Vencil Mares is still holding court every day. 94 years old and still loves to share stories of the good ole days. |
