Texas Barbeque. Generally recognized as the best in Austin, if not the world. Open Tues to Sun 11 am til they run out (generally 2pm). Plan to get in line by 8 am or earlier. Think of it like tailgating - bring chairs, beer, coffee, snacks and friends. Around 9/10 am someone comes around to get a sense of what you think you will be ordering in order to let those near the end of the line know around where (in the line) food will likely run out (so they know whether to risk it and wait or plan to come back earlier another day).
