Staying one month in Austin, we set out on a quest to discover the best barbecue in Austin and possibly the best barbecue in Texas.
This is Claire and Rosemary from Authentic Food Quest on a mission to explore and showcase the local flavors of a destination.
From internationally renowned joints like Franklin barbecue, to long time best barbecue places in Lockhart, this is the ultimate Austin bbq guide.
Don’t miss out on our favorite and best barbecue in Austin at the end of the video.
One tip to avoid the long lines: go after 1:30pm when the lines are winding down. The trade-off is that you might be at risk that they sell out. Choose your day wisely when there is a chance that people might not get out for barbecue (rainy, after holidays, etc.)
