Food was great, people were awesome. Nice atmosphere. All around coolnace to grab a bite to eat!
Yummy goodness on a bun! Not just Texas BBQ It’s a whole lot more!
Goodness gracious. This place is gooooood. I mean GOOD. I tried the ribs with a side of mac and cheese and it was absolutely fantastic. My husband had the Donk and he was delightfully miserable after eating.
The atmosphere is really cool, too. The art and music are not your typical BBQ restaurant style and that makes it fun.
I would eat here all the time if we lived in the area.
It is surprising they don’t serve plates of meat with sides. They have a rib plate but that’s it. That’s why I ordered the nachos. Flavor was delicious but holy moly it was huge. When I was done, it didn’t look like I made a dent. I like the chopped pickles. The jalapeños were good too. The banana pudding was cute but was so thick. It was almost a paste. It felt really fatty and not light. But flavor was good. The atmosphere was eh. They were playing an inappropriate (albeit good) rap song when my young kids were with me but oh well, they didn’t care. And the shopping center is pretty run down
Got there at 6pm on a weeknight. Plenty of seating, and great options on the menu. I got the pulled pork nachos which did not disappoint! Also had a Live Oak Hef which I appreciated was available. Definitely going back to try other items on the menu.
This place is not like your usual restaurant where servers come to your table to take an order. You go to the front desk and order once you get in. However, the lady at the front desk was helpful. It was my first time there and she was patience and recommended meals to us. The Nachos was amazing. I also had burger 😋. I will definitely go there whenever I am in Austin, Texas.
If you want really good BBQ, this place is a gem. Really cool, easy BBQ joint/ bar feel, great food and service. Got to speak with Claude, which was a pleasure...what a great guy!
So I took a trip to Austin and discovered this gem. My mom and I had the pleasure of speaking with Claude and he definitely has earned this place some loyal customers. He put is on to the Austin Chronicle. The front cashier was super sweet and patient with helping us make our selections. (Sorry I can't recall your name) I really wasn't expecting the meat to be so tender and fall off the bone with the ribs. The fountain drinks were awesome as well. I chose the Prickly Pear juice. 🍐 We could not leave without trying the TUPAC pudding! This place doesn't disappoint. Continue to support this establishment!!
Been treating myself to Slab for years. Always been happy with the food and the service. Brought a visiting friend there this week. He enjoyed the McDowell so much, he was still thinking about it the next day. Also, he compared the banana pudding to a proper banana cream pie, and it was the first time he's had the smoked kind of mac & cheese. All in all, super pleased that it passed the out-of-towner test as well.
Delicious BBQ food! This is a great alternative to some of the other more popular BBQ places that may have excruciatingly long lines. Pictured is their brisket sandwich, mac and cheese, and baked beans. They also have fun and different sodas available at their soda machine. Would definitely recommend and come back again!!
Food is very well rounded. The BBQ sandwiches are very good. Well worth the visit if in the area 💯

Was in town for the weekend and was recommended to try this place. Service and food was great.
The bbq here while not served in the traditional Texas way,but instead as sandwiches is super. The sides are also very good. If you come during lunch expect it to be busy, the line does move fast though.
I enjoyed the McDowell which is their rib sandwich and thought it was excellent. Note I enjoyed it with the normal portion size and it was plenty. I can’t imagine the double meat version.

I will literally move to Austin for this place. Everything is just perfect. Came right after opening and got the Chicken W.A. I thought about getting the double but the single ($7.60) was loaded with meat. The Dank White sauce shall be consumed by the spoonful. The mac and cheese is gooey and flavorful, and the noodles were not over done. The service is stellar too. There is not an aspect that they didn't think about. The banana pudding is granny made for fourth of July delicious! The only time I want to pick between Tupac and Biggie is with the cookies here, they look so good and even have the eyes correct. Even the fountain drinks are amazing. I don't typically do soda at restaurants, you get tires of Sierra mist but here the Drink Pink Drink (a prickly pear lemonade) is perfect with the BBQ. The potatosalad was good but my least favorite thing here, the onions threw off the taste buds, but my family just doesn't make it that way, so maybe I need to expand my taste. Totally worth the stop! Take your time here, there are a lot of options to consider and art to view, don't forget the napkins!
What you might think is typical is not here. Good music, helpful people, quick service. But the food... Texas Trill...meats were excellent. Sausage was nothing special but the other meats were outstanding. Moist with a deep smoky flavor, a tiny baby kick of jalapeños. Buns was perfectly chewy. Baked beans ate more like a chili and the mustard slaw was a refreshing change from the sloppy mayo based junk you get elsewhere.
Such a great meal...highly recommend
Came in on a Monday night, wasn’t really busy for dine in but I did notice aloud of Togo orders. Since they weren’t busy we were served very quickly. My boyfriend has the famous Donk sandwich and I had their rib sans which both we’re very tasty and so was the Mac and cheese excited to come back and try more sandwiches
