2nd time at Down South TX BBQ- 1st time was amazing, but my husband says consistency is key… and they did not disappoint. Brisket was moist and flavorful, and the beef rib is still the best I’ve had. Seasoned well with just the right amount of smoke. Mac &cheese and coleslaw were on point. While I thought the collard greens were a bit too salty for my palette, my husband insists they were amazing. Friendly and helpful staff- we highly recommend this gem.

Brisket was amazing and the ribs were just sliding off the bone. Corn, potato salad, beans, and Mac and cheese were delicious. These folks know what they're doing with some BBQ and I'll be back for sure!

Man! Tried this place for the very first time and wow! The ribs and brisket were bursting with flavor. Very tender. But the real star of the show is the macaroni. That smokey taste in the Mac is amazing. This has to be some do the best BBQ in the city.

This place has some great BBQ. Been in Austin for 6 months and tried all the big names around and Down South holds their own and then some. The beef rib was amazing. My wife typically sticks to brisket but this was a rare time she actually preferred the rib. Not to take anything away from the brisket. It was juicy and moist with an amazing smoke flavor. This reminded of down-home backyard BBQ done on an expert level. The potato salad was unique-different than what we were used but crisp and fresh tasting. Wish I had tried the Mac and greens, but just more reason to go back soon. Highly reccomended.

If you’re looking for some real southern bbq around the Howard and wells branch area please go here!!! You will not regret it. The brisket is smoked to perfection and literally melts in your mouth. The nachos are probably one of the best nachos I’ve had in my life. I would definitely recommend it to everyone.
