It has a good atmosphere that you'd expect from this kind of place. I was here for a company party. There was no live music, but I can imagine it being great for that. The staff was pretty nice. It would have been nice to have fewer disposable cups/plates/silverware because we only had about 60 people. (Kind of a pet peeve of mine for a sit-down restaurant. They have to have a dishwasher, right?)

Food wise though... Our company includes 5-10 vegans. This was known going in, of course, but I was personally very hungry while everyone else started eating. I was shown ingredients for a "Frito pie". If I had paid for this in a small group, it would have seemed like a bad joke. (Literally Frito corn chips with kind of a bean mixture to put on top.) I figured a BBQ place in Texas wouldn't really be vegetarian-friendly, but I was trying to keep an open mind because it's Austin after all. I've had some of the best plant-based food I've ever had in this city.

Anyway, our company had food delivered from another restaurant for the 5-10 of us. It was pretty good, but I'm not sure where it was from. It was awkward though.

I've been to German restaurants that happened to have amazing plant-based sausages. Some of the best food I've had actually -- I was very pleasantly surprised. If a German place in the US (Seattle) can do that, why not a Texas BBQ place in Austin? I'll keep my fingers crossed for the future. Vegetarians are out there and just avoiding Texas BBQ places right now.

A note to the management if you read this: we would have been happy to pay well for this as a company and not needed to order food from another restaurant to eat here. There's a market for this and if just one BBQ place in downtown Austin fills it, it would be welcomed!
