Terry Black's Barbecue

Loved the food here. We had a friend showing us the cool spots in Austin an this was our first stop. When we walked up we got a personal tour with the Pitmaster Alex. Such a cool dude. Talked about the whole smoking process and how they do it at Terry Blacks. The food was fantastic. There wasn't a single thing on that we got that I didn't like. We were a group of 6 so we just got one of each of the sides, some brisket, a beef rib, a couple of jalepeno sausages, and some turkey. All were great! It was the first time I had a beef rib at a BBQ joint too, I loved it. People compare it to a brisket

PERFECTO !!! Absolutely outstanding barbecue! Everything we tried was delicious. The quality of the meat, the flavor, and the overall experience were exactly what you would hope for when visiting one of Austin’s most famous BBQ spots. My favorite was the pork ribs. The meat was tender, juicy, and the seasoning had penetrated deeply, making every bite incredibly flavorful. The brisket was also cooked to perfection—smoky, moist, and melt-in-your-mouth tender.

Shoutout to Curt for the tasty recommendations and the skillful meat carving. Curt hooked it up with some sausage, ribs and brisket. A little bit of everything. And a lotta bit of deliciousness. The sides are all made from scratch and are a perfect complement to the meats. I tried the famous pinto beans and cream corn. Both great. I went on a scorching hot 88 degree day and those guys were still tending those smokers. I could feel the heat just emanating out. Credit to their dedication and skills. Big shoutout to the pitmasters at Terry Black’s! This place is legendary for central Texas BBQ

I travel for work from San Diego, and I was excited to come to Austin just to try authentic Texas BBQ. It definitely did not disappoint! The quality of the meat was incredible, these guys really know what they’re doing. I loved the place, the atmosphere, and, of course, the food. I honestly don’t think it’s overpriced. High-quality BBQ like this takes premium meat and a tremendous amount of work behind the scenes, and it definitely shows. Thanks, Austin, for such a warm welcome. Everyone was incredibly friendly and took the time to explain everything to me. Hopefully, I’ll be back someday!
