I pray to the brisket. I feel enlightened by the tasty and quite delicate ribs. I have confessed my sins to the plump juicy sausage. I have basked in the glory of the side of greens and mac and cheese. The sweet tea has washed away my demons and cleansed my soul. The only church I'll ever attend.

What an unexpected treat! I honestly didn’t anticipate the food being this good, but it completely impressed me. The brisket was outstanding—perfectly textured, incredibly juicy, and carrying just the right amount of spice. The pulled pork was just as impressive: tender, flavorful, and cooked with real care. Every bite had that comforting, smoky richness you hope for but don’t always find. It’s rare to stumble upon a place that delivers this level of quality without expecting it, and now I’m already looking forward to my next visit. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!

Everything was amazing- but if you have to chose just one meat and a side- brisket and grits! Don’t forget the pecan mesquite cookie!

Craft BBQ is legit. Very underrated. Very good. If you're on a time crunch visiting austin then I recommend you waste no time waiting at other bbq spots and just come eat here.
They got great bbq. And great people working. Very nice and generous people. They are very passionate with their craft.
I told them that theyre my 3rd bbq spot of the day and Ive asked for just 2 slices of brisket and 2 pieces of spare ribs, but they gifted me a 3rd on the house.
Theyre awesome. My biggest regret was not coming here right when they opened to get the freshest bbq...even arriving at 3/4pm, the bbq was still very good. Seasoned well. Right amount of tenderness as well.
Like the locals say on reddit, skip the wait and tourist spots and come here.

Table of 4 during Sunday lunch time. Waited ~30 min to order. We all ordered the 3 taco plate and some a side as well. First two orders of tacos came out relatively quickly. One was incorrect and sent back. Took a while to get that ordered returned - and it was cold. The other two taco plates took even longer, but at least they were warm, although one tortilla was quite toasted. They forgot the sides as well. Overall food was good but service could use improvement.

The people at the counter were extremely nice and answered our questions about what to get. We got the brisket, pork ribs, and chili and cheese sausage which were really tender and juicy, and the pear frosé went well with the meat.
Highly recommend ⭐️

On par with some of the best in the city without the wait and the best sides. The pickles look homemade too and were super refreshing. I love how they’re open for dinner because I don’t always want to slump into a food coma after lunch eating bbq.

Criminally underrated. Their old location was always busy. Now you can get Franklins-level bbq (even better imo) without the wait 😍
Their sides are fantastic too. Even got a bbq taco option!

Food is great and so is outdoor sitting. Only ding is long waiting line... Perhaps they should increase number of cash registers

I ordered the 3 meat plate. I picked the brisket, pork ribs and the Barbacoa. As for the sides I went with the jalapeño cheese grits and the campfire chili beans.
I'll get right to the point, the Barbacoa was the most outstanding bite of BBQ I've had in my life. It was smoking, juicy, tender. It was simply perfect. The brisket was delicious as well perfect smoked and seasoned. I enjoyed the ribs but next to the other meats I ordered just didn't stand up to how good they were. Dont get me wrong the ribs were great the other to meats were just that much better in my opinion. The grits were fantastic, cheesy and had a nice little kick from the jalapeño. The beans were ok, I kinda wish I would've went with a different side though.
We showed up right as they opened and there was only a small line (shocking because of how great the food was) the staff was super friendly and helpful.
I would say the price of everything is on par with most of the other BBQ joints in the area.

Service was incredible, I came after lunch and missed out on trying their pulled lamb but the grits were great, brisket solid. Prices reasonable. Guaranteed good time.
