Sam's BBQ in Austin, Texas has been a staple for over 30 years. The brisket sandwich is excellent, and the atmosphere feels like visiting an old family friend. The owners treat customers like family, and the BBQ is top-notch, especially the brisket and pork ribs. The sides like candy yams and mac n cheese are delicious.
The restaurant has been around for a long time, about 50 years, and they sell meat by the pound and sides a la carte. They also offer a plate called the "Sam's Special," which includes brisket and sausage, along with sides like potato salad, mac and cheese, green beans, and baked beans.
The meats are excellent, with the brisket being particularly soft and moist. The sausage is also good. The sides, while basic, get the job done. The service is impeccable, and the workers are welcoming and create a good vibe.
There is also a daiquiri spot connected to the BBQ restaurant, which is owned by the daughter of the owner of Sam's. Customers can also get some great stickers from the restaurant.
Native Texans know that good BBQ is almost extinct, but Sam's is keeping old-school, real BBQ alive. The food is delicious and tender, with the brisket being particularly outstanding. The sauce is also praised as the "boss" by customers.
