What To Do in Austin, TX...

sorry but the saltlick is for tourist.... City Market is great. Lockhart is the official bbq capital of texas per texas state legislature... Blacks has been around for 80yrs and is out of this world, Kreuz is alright, but Smitty's and Blacks are just awesome, if you can't get out of Austin there is a place in the hood called Sam's BBQ, texas monthly named it number 3 joint out of 50, this is where Stevie Ray Vaughn used to eat bbq, it is on 12th street in east Austin. Hero's and Legacies is great, however I would go to Perry's Steakhouse for a Steak. And if your not wife is not going, then the Landing STrip is always a good time to see some titty's. and if you want to drive to taylor texas Louie Muellers is some of the best bbq you will ever have in your life, get the beef rib and the brisket... and 6th street is a must for music downtown....

I knew that going in but wanted to try it. The brisket was actually pretty good. I plan on getting to the City Market or Smitty's later in the week.

Here's yet another vote for Lockhart BBQ!

Blacks for their amaaazing beef ribs, Smitty's and Kreuz for their brisket, and Chisholm Trail for their sausage.

In Austin, my lady and I enjoyed a good crawfish boil at The Boiling Pot on E 6th St. If you're not adverse to dive bars, Casino El Camino, also on E 6th St, has a great burger. And you can get your fill of authentic Tex-Mex just about anywhere.

Have a great time! If you can, let us know where you go and what you thought of it.
