What people say

When it comes to barbecue restaurants, there's nothing quite like the taste of slow-smoked meats and fall-off-the-bone tenderness. And that's exactly what you'll find at True Texas BBQ on E. 51st Street in Austin. Their St. Louis Smoked Ribs are a must-try, smoked for an impressive 14 hours by their expert pitmasters to achieve the perfect BBQ flavor.

But True Texas BBQ isn't just about the food - they also offer a unique experience with their Lake Austin location that combines grocery shopping with delicious BBQ and drinks at their full bar. And speaking of drinks, their new Happy Hour is not to be missed, with $1 off Draft Beers and Feature Cocktails every Monday and Wednesday through Friday from 4 - 6 PM.

If you're looking for a snack to share (or keep all to yourself), their BBQ Brisket Nachos are a fan favorite and can even be enjoyed at a discounted price by texting TXBBQ to 23370.

But True Texas BBQ doesn't stop at traditional barbecue dishes - they also offer unique creations like their Jalapeño Turkey Bagel Sandwich, featuring a jalapeño-cheddar bagel from Boss Bagels and zesty raspberry jam for the perfect balance of spice and sweetness.

Overall, True Texas BBQ offers not only delicious food but also a fun atmosphere and unique menu items that set them apart from other barbecue restaurants in Austin.
