amazing bbq!!! one of my new favorite places to grab a bbq sandwich and sides.
Hands down one of my favorite BBQ spots! Definitely worth checking out. You won't be disappointed.
I came all the way from St. Louis MO. To get some Big Vinny's BBQ. Great stuff from B. Miller.
AMAZING bar b que!!! Must try!! Relocating to downtown Austin! Stop by and try it
Great first weekend! Thanks for coming out! See you next Friday!
Best BBQ on Congress!!!! We had the brisket and sausages and both were delicious! The spicy corn was a great side also. And it was a very good deal as well. Highly recommended! Thanks Vinny!
Big Vinny’s Austin texas definitely the best bbq Austin texas hands down . Lots of flavor good service and over all the staff is super cool. I couldn’t be happier with how much big Vinny’s bbq comes out. High quality 100 percent and deserves all the stars . This will always be my go to spot as well as my family for a very long time. Shout out to big Vinny’s bbq 🔥 🔥
Thanks Brian (a.k.a. Big Vinny) for your hospitality! Keep up the great work and pursuing your dreams!! Support your local Pitmasters!!
Highly recommend to everyone to make this your first stop on South Congress for amazing BBQ. Ribs are fall off the bone, great balance of flavours. Brisket super tender and delicious smoked jalapeno sausages, one with and one without cheese. Sides are amazing - potatoe salad and beans. Delicious and finger lick'in good!!!
Will be hard pressed to find an equal in when I return home.
Amazing BBQ!! After trying all of the BBQ spots in Austin I will only eat BBQ from here!! The service is beyond exceptional they have always gone above and beyond!!
Big Vinny is absolutely the greatest guy and the bbq is just a reflection of his personality. Everything on the menu is worth a try and you can snag some to walk down congress with. I would recommend this to anyone coming to Austin for a visit. Always a great option that’s on par with terry blacks or franklins minus the lines.
Ordered up brisket plate & a pork rib/brisket plate with potato salad & beans. Absolutely delicious and worth every penny. Tender and flavorful to the max. Next time getting more pork ribs. Also, Thank you for the bonus bite!
We loved our bbq and Joe was so kind!
Revisited on Apr 30th. Same 5 star quality Bbq with NEW trailer upgrade!
Big Vinny and Brandon are
"The Bbq Dynamic Duo of SoCo"!

Big Vinny BBQ is WOW! Austin has a plethora of Great Bbq establishments. Its hard to name who is the best. However, Big Vinny has separated himself from the herd. He has great food but the separation comes with repor. He takes the time to talk with you. This is my 2nd visit with many more to come. He genuinely cares about those that stop at his Bbq trailer located on South Congress. Both times, we have conversated about things other than bbq or as I refer to it as "burnt meat". Its hard to drive past the aromas of brisket chicken and sausage from other big restaurant pits, I'll admit. But its made easy when Big Vinny listens and cares about those that make their way to him.
I had ribs and sausage and they were both out-of-this-world. The sausage in particular was memorable for me. Joe, who hosted us, was generous and kind. I had such a great experience at Big Vinny’s.
Great food truck BBQ experience at the top of South Congress. As tourists, we didn't know what to order but were guided through the menu and loved everything on the plate.
New trailer! Excellent location. Fantastic prices. $18/lb for brisket. Vinny is super nice. Got the jalapeño sausage and moist brisket. Bread and pickles portions is great! Wish the brisket was less dry. Would recommend for bbq when walking around on Congress. Free jalapeños also.
I tried BBQ at Big Vinny’s, but it was windy at the outdoor table, and one taste convinced me that I had to take this home and focus on what you see in the photo. This is state-of-the-art Texas brisket and ribs. Tender, juicy, smoky. There’s so much pure meat intensity here—so much umami—that the sauce—a good, more-tang-than-sweet one—is hardly needed. Yes, slaw, which old timers like to slap on the brisket between the white bread slices to add crunch, then dip in the sauce (always on the side). For me, Texas BBQ is about brisket and ribs, and as I type this I’m tasting perfection.
My bf and I used to order a lot from this place in UberEats, and yesterday we had the opportunity to visit the place in person. Joe is the best! He is super nice, and the food, man I can say enough good things about the brisket. It is my favorite!
The baby back ribs practically fell off the bones! My husband and I ordered the three meat plate with two sides. We sampled brisket, sausage, and baby back ribs. The meats were tender and flavorful! I could easily have eaten a whole rack of ribs myself. It is definitely worth stopping at Big Vinny's BBQ.
Outstanding BBQ and reasonably priced. The ribs fall off the bone, the brisket is very tender and flavorful, and the jalapeño sausage is plenty spicy. Couldnt have been happier with our lunch choice.
