“Best beef ribs in Texas! Don't forget to get the beans.“

“Just completed a tour of the Central Texas Barbecue Scene. Visited Snow's BBQ-Lexington, Louie Mueller-Taylor, Kreus Market, Smitty's and Black's-Lockhart, The Salt Lick- Driftwood and Franklin's in Austin. It was great seeing the venues and the family history at these historic sites. I visited Franklin's in the past and felt it was the best brisket I had ever eaten in my life. I am a skeptic when it comes to famous barbecue joints. I must say that Franklin's BBQ was far superior to all of the restaurants I visited with no one even a close second. Aaron's attention to detail from the service, choice of briskets, the cook, the wrap, the holding and even the slicing of the final product is evident in every aspect of his trade. I was lucky enough to run into him at the restaurant and he happily talked BBQ with me. Franklin's may not have the long history of muti-generational BBQ in Central Texas, but he has figured it all out at a level that I have yet to see equaled by the best venues in the country. This is a bucket list restaurant for those who really enjoy BBQ. It is well worth the wait in line“

“Good people and good food!“

“I don't live in Austin I live in Midland but whenever I am there this is where I would like to go I have had the brisket it's the best ever“

“Delicious BBQ! Great ambiance and service!“

“Great spot, friendly people. Get some of everything. Nothing disappoints.“

“It was absolutely delicious“

“The turkey f***ing slaps!“

“For our 101st 'cue stop in Texas, we stopped by this food truck on a Saturday morning. It was not at all busy, in sharp contrast to several of the other outlets in the court. We laid out $43.40 to purchase 2 biscuits with brisket and smoked strawberry jam. We added hash browns to each order ( 2 wedges per order). Although the biscuit was quite dry, the brisket was well prepared, and the smoked strawberry jam a real treat. But no plastic utensils were supplied, so we ended up scooping the jam up with our fingers. Bring your own utensils with you if you choose to visit! We're glad we came, but the price point struck us as very, very high for what we received-- too high for our wallets to absorb a second time.“

“Our first time in and let me just say WOW! Great service…you feel a part of the family from the beginning. Amazing fusion…highly recommend!“

“My husbands favorite spot.“

“Sooo freaking good! I want to say my favorite on this trip so far!“

“The ribs... I'll say it again, the ribs... Are amazing. The glaze, the cook, the subtle heat, these are firmly in my top 3 racks in Austin. The owner is super nice, former TB pitmaster now running this trailer. The fiends elote is a great flavor fusion and pairs well with all the protein on the menu. The sausage, is also in my top 3 in Austin. Great sized, juicy, flavor packed and my perfect texture and consistency. The brisket was good too, great cook on it, great flavor, and stood alone as a main. There's no doing I'll be back. The service was friendly, food top notch, and the flavor profile something different that requires you to try it.“

“Was in Austin for a few hours before catching a flight, and i wanted Texas BBQ. Coopers was recommended by a bartender, and he was spot on. Brisket was perfectly done, slaw was amazing and I can’t find the words to accurately describe how good the jalapeño bacon Mac n cheese was. Topped it off with a local lager and it was amazing lunch. TOP NOTCH!!!!!“

“This is hands-down, my favorite restaurant in Austin, if not honestly, the world. We come at least once if not twice a week the menu is extremely diverse in the staff are just absolutely delightful. We love Carmen, jasmine, Enrique, anola, Luis, BZ, Jacobi, and Adam. 10/10 reccommend“

“Great place for some quick BBQ. Worth trying and the sides are what make this place even better. The cream corn and potato salad are some of the best. Also don't sleep on the turkey, it is hands down the best smoked Turkey in Texas. The half chicken is also really good. Pork ribs are fine, babyback ones are delicious, and the moist brisket is a go to for many.“

“Decided to visit Smokey Mo's BBQ for the first time last Friday, dinner for two. It was easy to park, the restaurant was not busy. Wife and I shared a three meat plate with Brisket, Turkey and Pork Belly Burnt Ends. Sides were bacon cheddar potatoes and mac and cheese. Everything tasted really good, especially the pork belly. It wasn't a five star experience for a detail, though... sides were served cold. Meats were slightly colder than we'd expected, but extremely flavorful. We'll still come back for a second round, and maybe try some of their other options. Service is fast, staff are attentive and polite. Clean tables and restrooms, decent prices.“

“I give this place a 10/10 ⭐️! I don’t even like coleslaw but the sandwich I ate definitely changed my mind!👏🏽“

“Great food - loved the sauce! The cashier was very helpful, friendly & patient!“

“What a great meal! From the chopped brisket sandwich to the sliced brisket, chicken, and especially the pork ribs—wow! Everything was so tasty! The portions are generous and the wait staff and service were spot on. Our guest from France was equally impressed. Cozy, low key vibe with great food and service—who could ask for more? Will be back!“

“Hosted a private Event at the Palmer Lane location. For those that don’t know, they have a great sized room for small parties. From the moment of planning, to day of the event the staff was beyond incredible in all aspects. The food was abundant and fresh and hot, and delicious. Whatever we needed the staff was on it. The customer service was through the roof. Thank you all for a great night, you made everything so easy! I highly recommend everyone eat at this location, 10/10“

“been 3 times, first time was DANK, 2nd time was tragic, 3rd time was DANK. Hit or miss and I also feel based on timing, gf loves the mac and cheese, brisket is solid but the fat option is very fatty, i would go lean, depends on the day but on the right day this place is good“

“I got a brisket and jalapeño sausage sandwich. It was big and the best bbq sandwich I’ve had in a long time. I wish I took a photo.

The brisket was moist. The bread was great and the sauce really complimented the meat without taking over the flavor.

I’ll have to go back very soon to try more.“

“Had a blast at Ali’s BBQ tonight, as always food was amazing and got to try tonight’s special, Pani Puri! Tasted amazing, reminded me of Pakistan to the point. Keep up the work!“

“The turkey f***ing slaps!“

“Outstanding brisket sandwich. Everything I’ve tried here is just amazing! 🤩 y’all gotta go experience it yourself!!“

“They catered our lunch and it was amazing! Great service and flavors!“

“I had the Big Jon from Gebbys BBQ today. It was a chopped brisket with sausage sandwich. You guys! I bit into it and tasted all the flavors of the spices and the crunch of the pickles 🥒 and.....man it was delicious 👌🏼! The chopped brisket was juicy, tender and piled on high. It was ❤️ at first bite! Chris and his team know how BBQ is supposed to be done 😍“

“Find a friendly atmosphere“

“Great bbq and friendly people, great place to eat.“

“(Also listed on Google/Maps as “Micky’s @ intersection of Circle Dr & Thomas Springs-a 16 foot food trailer ) Just split a the Brisket & Sausage sandwich with my husband& my two boys split the cheeseburger. Both came with chips. Soda is limited to Diet Coke or Dr Pepper in the can, but kept real cold. The sandwich was so moist & flavorful. The burgers are “better than P.Terrys,”said my youngest son. Micky makes everything with love & he’s been doing this for 7 seven years and it shows. The sausage snaps & explodes with each bite. Brisket was moist it’s like butter. We all felt full & happy, but to stop back by next time we are in the area (think Austin zoo). Thanks, Micky!! Great foodie find.“

“So good, had the ribs, beans and potato salad 10/10 would recommend.“

“Went here with a friend before seeing a show at Empire and wow…what a great first impression. Our server was super attentive. She gave us a moment to decide just how hungry we were and when it was time to order the food came out super fast. Live music is often there on weekends and from what I saw online a Sunday Gospel Brunch - now that’s soul food!!!!“

“Stopped by and got a Smokin Mac N Cheese and Smokin Tater with extra jalapeños and I wish I wasn’t full so I could keep eating! Our kids loved their Mac n cheese! We will definitely be back! 10/10 recommend! There’s a great area for friends with fire places and blankets! 6pm and after no kids inside the bar areas but food is still great and available all night!“

“As authentic as you can get. And the spicy bbq is just what it says.“

“This place had hands down the best brisket I’ve ever had in my life, and I’ve been eating brisket in Texas for over 60 years! The turkey, sausage, jalapeño mashed potatoes, macaroni, and cheese. Everything was truly wonderful. This was my first time to ever eat there, and I’ll definitely go back! The stuff was great all the way around my family was definitely impressed :-)

Kid-friendliness: Extremely kid friendly! They had games and activities for the kids to do. I didn’t see everything but I did see some playing volleyball some playing cornhole, a few playing soccer and hacky sack, etc. There was a big field where there were vendors with booths set up selling things.

Parking: We had about 50 in our party and there was plenty of party. It was spread out to where we didn’t have to walk too far.“
