Your nearby Austin SoCo True Texas BBQ at 2400 South Congress Avenue features great food, drinks and atmosphere! True Texas BBQ is slow smoked in-house for fourteen hours over natural hardwood, and it's darn delicious. So much so, it was named Best BBQ Chain in Texas as recognized by Texas Monthly. We offer barbecue by the plate or pound, plus delicious sides like brisket beans, mac & cheese, potato salad and coleslaw. Full service catering also available for groups of 10-1000+
The service is always welcoming, hospitable, and the food is always fresh and delicious.
For me it’s one of the best BBQ places to fit in during a grocery run. And the Beer is always ice cold! Thank you Desiree for reminding me about the happy hour prices on the icy cold beers on Tuesdays! She’s great like that. ;)

Yesterday we had a true “Texas” pit smoked restaurant recommended to us. It was good but this place is so much better to our Aussie palates. Desiree on the counter was an absolute ray of sunshine. So friendly, hospitable and kind. The loaded chopped brisket baked potato feee both of us! So many options and choices and very easy on the pocket at more than half the price of yesterday’s lunch. While it’s a “chain” it’s certainly delicious and the smell of “smoke” as you enter gets your taste buds watering. Yummy.

Having the proper expectations is essential. The meats are solid, not great, not bad. It’s not Franklin’s or Leroy and Lewis, but it will satiate your smoked meat desire if you don’t expect it to be a Texas Monthly top 50 place. However, where True Texas BBQ really shines are the sides. I can honestly say the fried okra is some of the best I’ve ever had. The cornmeal coating is not too heavy and doesn’t over power the okra, and the seasoning is just right. The beans are peppery and perfect. The potato salad is awesome. I even like the fried green beans. Sometimes we just order sides from there while we’re shopping for groceries above. So convenient.
True Texas BBQ serves slow-smoked BBQ using all-natural meats smoked in-house over Texas oak wood, featuring brisket, beans, creamed corn, potato salad, and more.
