Terry Black's Barbecue

Γευστικό φαγητό καπνισμένο να λιώνει στο στόμα. Ευγενικό προσωπικό. Μεγάλος χώρος. Καθαρό.

Terry Black’s BBQ is hands down one of the most delicious experiences a person can have in their life. The moment the tray hit the table, I knew I was in for something special. The beef rib was massive, smoky, tender, and packed with flavor—the kind of BBQ that melts in your mouth. Every side was on point too: creamy mac and cheese, tangy coleslaw, roasted green beans, and that addicting creamed corn. Even the pickles and onions added the perfect bite between rich, smoky meats. Yes, it’s expensive—I paid $108 for this tray—but honestly, the quality, portion, and unforgettable taste make it worth trying at least once. It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience. If you’re in Austin and love BBQ, Terry Black’s is an absolute must. Come hungry, be ready to splurge a little, and you’ll walk away saying it was worth every penny.

Awesome place to come and eat! Definitely a top spot for brisket lovers in Austin... The main advantage here is that the smokers are enormous and they practically never run out of brisket unlike other smaller venues. Even if you want a late afternoon brisket this is your place to go... Beware of the sides, as the portions are huge and sometimes you think you can eat more than you can actually do. Overall, good food, amazing atmosphere, and one of the best names for brisket in the Austin area.

A must go location to visit once you’re in Austin. Outdoor seating and great food! Delicious and great staff! Atmosphere inside the building gets loud so be weary. People are in and out and foot traffic keeps coming. Most definitely a popular location and I can see why. Enjoy your meal and try out as much option as you can!

One word: Whoa! It’s a crazy busy place with limited parking and a paid parking lot about two buildings away. It’s a place with 20 picnic tables and you can find it by looking for the yellow umbrellas outside. Due to the heat, we looked for seats inside. After you enter you’ll find the staff are incredibly helpful and will ask if it’s your first time. You are guided to choose bottled drinks and then some sides at the first counter (see my picture of the sign) and we chose potato salad, whole string beans and a corn chowder type salad that was excellent. We stacked those on a standard high school lunch room platter and moved to the meat counter. Here there are four or five "stations" with two staff members each. They are happy people who seem to love what they do. One guy was weighing our meat choices, answering our questions and ringing up while the other one was cutting up all the meats we chose. We chose the beef brisket and ribs. While deciding, the cutter slid us some brisket ends to really push us on making good decisions 🙂 Once weighed, they rang up our meats and our sides and handed us our drink cups to self serve. Total was about $60 and while we didn’t stuff our faces, we both had enough to not take any home. I smoke meats at home and proper brokering an easy one to get right. Their brisket was firm, moist and flavorful. Easily the best brisket I’ve had. It’s usually too salty or too firm for me. Theirs was neither. It was excellent and I’ll be back. The ribs were of similar quality and fell off the bone. They weren’t too firm and not too mushy either. Excellent flavor and really great. Sweet and tangy and we didn’t need external sauces, although there were plenty available. We had lemonade to wash down our choices and decided that this was the best barbecue we have had. The place has a ton of people coming through and must serve hundreds of people a day but the food didn’t taste "watered down" for the masses. It was true barbecue with all the hot, sweet and tangy flavors that I wish ALL barbecue had. It was really great and will be on our short list of places we visit EVERY time we visit Austin.

Good brisket but not life-changing. The edges were too dry, overcooked, and salty. The center was much more tender and in line with what I expected from the reviews. Sauces were super basic? The original one tasted like ketchup, just of a watery consistency, while the sweet one was too sweet for my tastes though my friend liked it best. Cornbread wasn’t too dry and didn’t completely crumble into pieces when you bit or cut into it, although it was a tad sweet. Green beans were surprisingly good in that they were actually green and tasted like beans, so not drowned in bacon fat or boiled into khaki like the "greens" in NOLA. However, they also didn’t have much flavor. At least the servers were all extremely friendly and helpful and there was air conditioning indoors even though you and your clothes will smell of smoke after. Outdoor seating might be nice when it’s not summer, although there were a lot of not-shy birds hanging around so beware.
