Austin's most famous (& supposedly the best) BBQ joint. Get in line at 6-7am (no joke) if you really want to try it. I recommend a mister, a hat, a camper chair, and a deck of cards to pass the time in line.

Looks like a dive bar, drinks like a 5-star. Billy, the owner, makes a mean cocktail and won't overcharge you for it. You must try their pizza (I recommend the Dana special) - it's my favorite pizza in town!
