Brisket rice bowl was amazing!Can’t express how delicious it is. Don’t live in Austin but visit my son here couple of times a year. In 23 years of visiting this is my favorite of many wonderful Austin meals.

KG bbq gets 5 stars from me on the strength of their pork ribs and brisket rice bowl. The ribs were tender and flavorful, all the things you want out of pork ribs. The brisket rice bowl was generous with the meat and we love to see it. I also got the chicken, which was dry and the baladi salad, which while good wasn’t extraordinary. I’d definitely go back to try the Egyptian cowboy. Service was fine, again nothing extraordinary. Atmosphere is what you’d expect with a food truck.
We stopped here on our way back to DFW. The food is a fusion of BBQ and Egyptian cuisine. It was different, but we liked it. I had the pomegranate ribs and my husband had the Egyptian Cowboy. Then we sipped on Hibiscus tea. We plan to hit this spot up the next time we are in town.

For reference, I’m the son of a middle eastern immigrant and a Texas BBQ enthusiast. Upon coming across KG BBQ on Instagram, I quickly became determined to check it out when next in Austin. I am happy to report that the Middle Eastern - Texas BBQ fusion fare uniquely purveyed by the “Egyptian Cowboy” exceeded even my wildest expectations. While the smoked brisket was truly A+ (with easy online ordering & none of the fuss of other comparable local establishments) the smoked lamb chops were incredible. Going forward KG BBQ will be a staple of any future trips I make to Austin.

These dudes got delicious concoctions brewing up in that truck, but it's expensive and lacks on the volume of meat. I ordered double beef today in my bowl and it was more like a barely normal amount. That's pretty annoying when I blew $30 on a bowl of rice and meat.

I went today just after 12 pm. as this place was moving and taking a bit to find parking, so it's definitely tells me that everyone is really enjoying their food as I got the brisket, lamb bacon rib, sausage, Smoke chicken Kebab as well Mac and cheese.Now, the brisket was good and tender with little hints of smoke flavor as well better without the bbq sauce as it's not overpowering when dipping pieces, but it's watery and ketchup based. Just doesn't help the meats and better without it. The sausage definitely was good but reminded me more of polish dogs or Kielbasa as it's different from most BBQ places here still delicious.The ribs weren't my favorite as the season did mask the natural flavor lamb usually has, but with it being sweet, in my opinion, I just didn't continue to eat them. But the smoke chicken was the best as It was tender and juicy, hints of rosemary, maybe turmeric and thyme. But their was something different, and I noticed the pomegranate seeds. The Mac and cheese were okay. The season definitely made it uniqueI did enjoy my experience and would come back mainly for the chicken dishes only.

Brisket is easily one of my favorites in Austin. Not overly expensive and not as packed as some
Very good food!! It's very interesting to see new flavors in BBQ. And they really do bring new flavors!! Definitely one of the best places to try BBQ. Keep in mind this is not traditional BBQ.

Got the brisket, sumac and cinnamon rubbed lamb shoulder and do not miss on the pomegranate and za’atar glazed pork ribs as it was one of the best meats that I got. Don’t forget to add some veggies to your meal and go for the Egyptian baladi salad. Overall, love the Egyptian inspired bbq and will come back again to try the rest of the menu.

Believe the hype! Firstly the food is fantastic - a really cool twist on the typical staples (especially the ribs) and a few unique dishes (lamb chops etc)Secondly it's a perfect set up with the brewery. Can have a beer while you wait, plenty of places to sit and they have PL games on.I'd strongly suggest getting there for opening to avoid the queues
