Terry Black's Barbecue

Absolutely incredible BBQ — way better than Franklin’s. We visited Terry Black’s around 12–1 PM and were blown away. Despite the crowd, their process is super streamlined and efficient — the line moved quickly, and they still had all cuts of meat available. We ordered the brisket, ribs, and jalapeño cheddar sausage, along with potato salad, mac and cheese, and peach cobbler for sides. Every single bite was amazing. The meat was tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned — I didn’t even need sauce. That’s how good it was. The potato salad was surprisingly dairy-free (and still delicious!), and they offer a great selection of dairy-free, gluten-free, and even vegan side options. The peach cobbler was the perfect sweet finish — warm, comforting, and packed with flavor. The setup is also great with plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. No complaints whatsoever. Terry Black’s is hands down one of the best BBQ spots in Austin — so much better than Franklin’s, in my opinion. Don’t miss it!

Amazingly delicious food and very efficient service! Highly recommend! Great gluten free options and shown on menu!

It was out first time at Terry Black's Barbeque and it did not disappointed! Despite the line, they have the process down to a science we were got our food and found a table quickly. The staff especially Gabby was wonderful with making sure we had everything we needed as well as to go containers for our food. Let's talk food.. the brisket was on point soft and tender with a peppery dry rub, ribs were delicious with a hint of sweetness. The most of sides are gluten ans dairy free for those that are sensitive. We tried potato salad and mac and cheese. For dessert we tried the peach cobbler and banana pudding. Everything we delicious! Definitely worth trying while in Austin.
