The food was very good! It is a little different from usual country bbq. More like fine dining!

I'm not a huge BBQ fan, but when in Texas, right? I REALLY liked the crispy boar ribs. I got the short rib for an entree which was WAY too big, I kid you not it was the size of my arm! But it was delicious. Again, not a huge "slab of meat for dinner person". I think I probably could have just ordered the boar ribs app and been just fine! Oooh, the red snapper ceviche was fantastic! I love the atmosphere, classy and a little dark- we came on a weekday so no live music. The only BBQ place I could find that was open late and takes reservations

Very vibrant and to me, swank downtown restaurant. Loved the the decor and atmosphere. Got to sit down quickly, and server was very quick to give us our menus. Friendly waiter. Wife enjoyed the Reuben sandwich and fries. I got the 2 meat ribs plate. Nice little sides and an IPA beer, very tasty. Not too expensive but can go over 50 bucks for lunch easily. In and out under 1 hour.

We had to modify our reservations twice and each time, the staff was very accommodating!Dylan was phenomenal- very knowledgeable too.The brisket fell off my fork it was so tender! What knife?The inside was a little loud and the only bathroom was upstairs, but overall it was a clean and cozy environment.

Best bbq in downtown Austin. Brisket and ribs were fall apart good!
Lamberts is a great barbecue place if you are in the area. The crispy wild boar ribs we'r6e very flavorful and had somewhat of an Asian influence. I would definitely highly recommend this appetizer to start with. I had the two meat plate which I would say is good. The brisket was lean, meaty, and somewhat tender. If you're looking for extra moist brisket, this is not it. However, the flavor was good and the sides that I got were collard, greens and coleslaw. Both of these sides were not bad.I really enjoyed that. The table came with three different sauces. My favorite probably was the mustard and then the hot and then the house. I saw some of my co-workers really lather their barbecue with the house sauce so that might say something about it. It was a little bit vinegary for me, however that's not a bad thing.I would say that if you're in the area and craving BBQ, this is not a bad place to go. With me living up north I would not make a specific trip to come here as it would be a little bit out of my way.

Poor excuse for a blues restaurant. Incredible idea, but prices are disgusting when you realize the core value and culture the restaurant is supposed to be based on.Waitress took my wife's order, then took mine, but I changed my mind.She then got my wife's order wrong.This would've been fine if she hadn't decided to blame her mistake on me changing my order.$60+ to get insulted by someone who knows next to nothing about customer service.Parking: You have to pay to park. $10 seems to be the cheapest option.
