Green Mesquite BBQ is a middle-of-the-road restaurant that offers good, but not great, food. The selection is fairly limited, but the staff is friendly and accommodating. The menu features tasty options like brisket, sausage, pork ribs, and chicken, with generous portions that satisfy. Many customers appreciate the cozy, low-key vibe, highlighting the clean atmosphere and the reasonable prices, especially for their Friday rib plate lunch special. Recent reviews mention the chicken fried chicken, catfish platter, and sides like green beans, mac n cheese, jambalaya, and fried okra as delicious. While the food is satisfactory overall, the service can be slow, with long waits to order drinks and food. However, the staff remains pleasant and polite, making the experience enjoyable. The restaurant has a history of being an old school Austin institution, with some long-time employees maintaining its reputation for good barbecue. Additionally, there is live music regularly, adding to the laid-back ambiance. Overall, Green Mesquite BBQ provides a decent dining option with tasty food, friendly service, and a charming atmosphere.
