Terry Black's BBQ Review

Best brisket you will ever eat. Beef ribs were also top shelf. I was also blown away by the remarkable sides. Potato salad was my favorite side followed by creamed corn. If you like bbq and don"t visit Terry Black's you will surely miss out on one of the best experiences available.

The best smoked beef ribs I've ever tried. Ever... Hands down.

Unbelievable. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!!

Woohoo. The #1 item that I wanted to eat at Austin was definitely Texas BBQ and Terry Blacks BBQ does not disappoint. I ve tried almost all of the meats and sides and they were all excellent. My favorite for the meat was beef ribs which More

I have never had the pleasure of Austin BBQ.it was recommended that, if I wanted brisket go to Terry Black's. WOW That.was a great suggestion. We had beef ribs-wonderful, pork ribs-not as good as Memphis, sausage-very good, and brisket-OH MY GOODNESS. IT WAS AWESOME. I highly reccomend Tony Black's.

Franklin's is for tourists. TB's is not a tourist place.

Delicious! Grab a few sides a la carte then head to the register and point to any and all the meats you want.

I've always gotten turkey sandwiches at bbq places, ever since I was a kid, and this might be the best bbq turkey sandwich I've ever had. I'll always prefer KC BBQ sauce, but the turkey here is outstanding.

Best rib ever, tes rib ever. Best piece of meat I've had

The food was good. Loved the corn and the portions were huge. The original BBQ sauce was awesome.

Clean place with great staff that serves good food. The meat just needs more seasoning, the BBQ sauce saved the day for the meat

They have the best barbecue that I tasted and it is really affordable. Highly recommend to try this place.

An offshoot of the legendary Black pitmasters of Lockhart. This is excellent BBQ, rating up there with the best of central Texas. We had the brisket and pork ribs and they were delicious; moist, flavorful, the brisket with just the right amount of bark, the ribs falling off the bones. Sides were great as well, but you came here for the meat. Highly recommend. Paired it with a Peacemaker from Austin Beerworks and called it a day.

Long wait in line (about 40 minutes), potato salad was just OK, banana pudding used some kind of cream? Didn't taste like pudding to me. Mac & cheese was amazing and beef ribs was amazing as well but the dry rub was a little too salty for me but I enjoyed it.

Best BBQ in Austin! Be sure to get a tour of the smoke pit.

BBQ was good but not worth $35 for brisket, a few ribs, a tiny side, and a drink. Be there done that, not doing it again

BSA Troop 226 from Colorado City, TX loves the Q !!!

Hands down the best bbq I ve ever had!!!! Never going to another bbq joint!!!! The rib is so huge!!! Brisket cooked perfect and melts!!!

Food was great. They had an excellent variety of barbeque sauces and hot sauces. Prices are a little misleading, as the drink prices were super high for a fountain beverage. However, if you get a pound of meat, it is enough for about six sandwiches with the sausage, so I split it with a friend and still had some to spare. Also has great seating for larger groups as the tables can fit four or eight. High chairs are also available for children.

If you get there within an hour or two of opening, do inquire about moist brisket. The smoked brisket is the star of the menu, but try the green beans, slaw, and potato salad on the side.

Arby's doesn't have the meats....but Blacks does! I'm from Portland OR and this is my first time in Texas! Aside from ACL the highlight of my trip was to try Texas BBQ. Blacks was by far the best meat I've ever that in my life, plus the sides were absolutely mind-blowing! Blacks is where it's at!

Fun and authentic atmosphere. Excellent and Texas sized beef ribs. Expect to wait in line for this exceptional BBQ.

I've had a lot of barbecue all over the USA and this come close to the tops.

Great BBG,Loved the brisket.Our first barbeque in Austin,great lunch

Awesome! Is there such a thing as "spiritual meat sweats"? If there ain't, this is the place you come to experience them! Brisket, pork & Flintstone size beef ribs. Great assortment of sides. Come and get your grub on here for sure!

I ve had a lot of bbq from all over the US and this is the best TX style bbq

My favorite BBQ in Austin. Great customer service. Great food. Awesome portion sizes. Awesome sweet tea. Just great place all around. Just wish the place had more seating.

Great food! Expensive, but what BBQ joint isn't. Well worth the visit

This is still one of my favorite BBQ spots in Texas. The brisket here is great, and the pork ribs are some of my favorite in the state (and thus the world!). Both have the right amount of smoke, flavor, tenderness, and juiciness. The sides are pretty tasty too for a BBQ joint, which is an added bonus.

If you're in Austin, you can't go wrong with Terry Black's unless you arrive late in the evening when some meats have sold out. Call ahead if you're worried!

Yum! First time in town & 3 separate people recommended Terry Black's. The atmosphere was very casual & cafeteria style but the food was awesome! Ribs & brisket we're mouthwatering. Will definitely recommend to anyone going to Austin.

This place is so over rated. Very pricy. The food is so bland. The cream of corn is so watery. The brisket is bland. The turkey is dry. The string beans and potato salad was very good. I'll stick with Scottys bbq. Scotty has the best brisket and cream of corn in Austin.

Very delicious brisket and they cut it how we liked (lean). Their potato salad is some of the best I ve had, it s creamy and flavorful and definitely quality ingredients. My boyfriend really enjoyed their sausage and turkey as well, he worked in barbecue so he could tell the time and effort they put in! Everyone was very friendly and we loved the atmosphere and decor as well.

Houston got same quality of food for half price...

Brisket was amazing, best corn bread I've ever had. Mac and cheese was solid, so was the banana pudding. Worth the wait!

I had a delicious time at Terry Black's Barbecue with two girl friends for dinner yummmmy!

Good selection of proteins, lots if different sides. All fresh and delicious, just good Texas BBQ.

Great BBQ, brisket was awesome and ribs might have been the best thing I've ever put in my mouth

Hands down the best in texas, had some of the jalapeno cheddar sausage and cant stop thinking about it.

Smoked brisket is marinated and cooked to perfection! Friendly environment and great outdoor seating!

The food was amazing! Please do not leave here without trying the brisket.

Every uber driver, coworker and just about every person recommended Terry Black's as the best place to get barbecue in Austin. We were not disappointed. Sure, it's a long waiting time, but it's all worth it. The food is out of this world, from the sides to the meat and the desserts. They have great beer selection and even souvenir sauces to take home. Totally recommend.

Had the beef ribs and the brisket with 4 sides. Fairly pricey compared to their competitors. Would of given 5 stars except the brisket wasn t perfect, tad dry and the price was about $10 more than what I would of expected. Still gets 4 stars because the sweet corn side and the beef ribs were perfection.

The barbecue is Great, but these guys need an app where people can order it to go and swing by and pick it up!! The app also needs to give a time for pickup!!! This place is BUSY and you can easily wait in a line that is 1/2 hr. long. I get that it's popular and that's great, but people also have things to do. Terry Black's needs to move into the 21st. Century with our Mobile App economy. Love the place though---Great, Great, Great Barbecue!!!

Nice job boys!
Brisket, Sausage, Ribs were INSANE!
Thanks for the tour of the smoke process Ricky

This was recommended to me by several co-workers, and friends. We ordered the brisket, and beef ribs. The ribs were salty. It was tender and fatty (as ribs should be). The saltiness could be because it was the evening, and last piece? The burnt ends part of the brisket was chewy, and not tender at all. But the slices we got was tender and flavorful. The sides we got was green beens (meh nothing special). Creamed corn, very delicious. And banana pudding for dessert (not too sweet, but more on the cakey side, not pudding). There wasn't a huge line. Service was quick. Seating was plenty indoors and out, with social distancing. All in all ok. I can check this off my list of bbq places to try in Austin!

We left VERY happy and VERY full. Good spot to enjoy some real good bbq in Texas.

Wow, this is a must if you're in town visiting everything melts in your mouth brisket and beef is the best I have had ever. It is a little pricey but its worth every penny

Great bbq for the price, especially the family pack!

This is hands down the best bbq I have ever had. Maybe I am a naive Californian, but we tried a few other spots around Austin and this spot was a home run! Get their early. Get the beef rib. Schedule some time for a nap afterward. (Sorry for the poor quality image. It's a screenshot of a video I took demonstrating the 10/10 fall off the bone beef rib)

I know this is an iconic place for BBQ but I was underwhelmed. The prices are high with a pound of brisket at over $21. The sides are always cold by the time you sit down because if you have to wait in line they get cold. My bill with a beer was $26.
I would appreciate them taking the fat off the top of the brisket before weighing. I had one spare rib to taste and couldn't finish it because of all the fat.

NOT WORTH THE HYPE. Don't get me wrong it was good. However, there are plenty of smaller joints putting out a equal or greater quality food with a more personal environment where you are not just a number through the door.

We ordered the beef ribs and moist brisket. Both were fantastic. The beef ribs were incredibly tender and had a ton of flavor. Everything is fairly expensive and it was really easy to over order since it was our first time. The sides were okay and also a bit expensive.

Best beef brisket I've ever had. Beef ribs are incredible. Highly recommend

Best BBQ I've ever had. Worth the wait for sure.

Ribs 10+

Jalapeno sausage 10+

Brisket 9

Mac and cheese 10+

Best BBQ I've tasted so far since I moved to Texas.

Best brisket ever. And if you're not from around there make sure you take the white bread the pickles and the red onions and make a sandwich out of it.... amazing

Best BBQ i ever had. Period.
Pork rib is heaven.
If you go to Austin. Texas. You must visit this place.

Love this place. Would give them 10 stars if I could!!!

Great food great amount for the price awesome staff

Great barbecue. Love the brisket and pork ribs. Turkey is very good too

Hole in the wall type place on the outside, but the staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. Was visiting from out of town and this cane highly recommended.

Delicious BBQ beef ribs! Head around the back of the building to chat with the friendly grill masters and watch and hear how they cook their 13 hour brisket.
