Lazy G BBQ Company in Cedar Park is exactly what it sounds like: lazy. For a BBQ joint in Texas, where the standard is high, this place is embarrassingly bad. Rudy’s BBQ should be the baseline, yet Lazy G doesn’t even reach that. I ordered the ribs and brisket, hoping for something decent, but both were far below average. The brisket was especially disappointing—you could see the congealed fat right in the slices (see pictures). Serving meat at the right temperature is BBQ 101, and their failure here made the texture and flavor a cold, greasy mess.
The sides weren’t any better. The cucumber salad was bland, with just a dusting of dill and no seasoning whatsoever. Adding salt and vinegar should be a no-brainer, but apparently, even the basics were too much effort here. I was excited to try the smoked mushroom side (as a mushroom lover), but it was downright unpleasant. There was zero smokiness, and the sauce tasted like a watered-down BBQ sauce, giving the button mushrooms a soggy, unappetizing texture.
The BBQ sauce was another letdown—it tasted like bottled Sweet Baby Ray’s. For a BBQ place, using (or at least mimicking) store-bought sauce is the ultimate red flag that they just don’t care. Even at $22 for a two-meat plate, the quality doesn’t justify the price.
In short, Lazy G BBQ Company doesn’t just fall short—it doesn’t even try. If their goal was to live up to their name, they succeeded; this food is lazy, uninspired, and, frankly, not worth your time or money.

The service is outstanding and the food delicious. The staff goes above and beyond to make you happy and their most brisket and ribs are to die for. Highly recommended!

This place is by far one of the best bbq places I’ve been to and I am a Texas native. Definitely needs more hype! Brisket was super tender perfect flavor. I love how the bbq sauce and pockles are homemade also Don’t sleep on the Mushrooms they were awesome! What makes it even better is the service and friendliness 10/10 would recommend!

Saw the pic and review of the smoked brisket burger and knew this was the place for today's lunch...oops. There was half an inch between the edge of the bun and the beginning of the meat, and the cheese wasn't melted. Flavors were great, but I was expecting a lot more in a $19 burger, especially after seeing the online pic.

The bark on the brisket was SO tasty, so I was very surprised that the brisket itself, though tender enough to pull apart pretty easily, was incredibly dry. Perhaps pre sliced or sitting out too long? I did come eat in mid afternoon
The sides were also nothing to write home about
Overall a pretty average experience, was hoping for a little more wow factor to make the trip from ATX worth it

First off, this isn't a restaurant. It is a food truck that serves food poisoning. The only way it could possibly have a 4.6 review is because the bar behind it sends over drunk people who cannot even tell what they are eating. No that it matters, but they also got both of our orders wrong, don't know the difference between pork and beef ribs (which were cut incorrectly), and gave us food poisoning within minutes. Avoid this place, and go elsewhere unless you enjoy the feeling of being stabbed in stomach while twisting the knife.

The meat on the chopped beef sandwhich was completely shredded with long pieces of shredded meat with a dab of bbq sauce on the side of the sandwhich. Somehow spent $60 for 3 sandwhiches and a side of loaded macaroni that took 15 mins to prepare with no one else waiting. It was awful... I don't recommend this place at all.

Went on a Friday afternoon/evening,had a 3 meat plate with sausage, brisket, and ribs (my go to anytime I try a new place). Green beans and potato salad for sides.The brisket and sausage were good but not great. The ribs were fair, but not good enough to get again. Potato salad was the star, but the green beans were inedibly peppered.All in all the bbq was good enough that I’d try again, and definitely better than others in the area. I would buy the potato salad on its own for sure. The time of day may have influenced the quality — it’s a little late for bbq.

Great customer service. The trashy mac and cheese is loaded to food. Mac and cheese on bottom topped with meat, jalapeños, and fried onions. Great combination in every bite. Will be visiting again to try for from their menu.

This food truck outside The Good Lot has some of the best BBQ not only in Cedar Park, but in Texas in my opinion. The brisket was thick, moist and flavorful. The ribs were smokey fall off the bone perfect. Some of the best green beans I’ve ever had and by far the best potato salad I’ve ever had.
