No doubt this is one of the better locations for BBQ . Restaurant style that is. The food is well prepared, well presented, cooked perfectly and very flavourful with quite good portions

Natalia Cruz

Definitivamente es delicioso el beef brisket y de guarnición las papas fritas y el serrano cheese spinach son deliciosos/ Definitely it's delicious, try the beef brisket its awesome and the sausage .

Dee Causey

The BEST bbq i've had in a long time! Serrano cheese spinach and mashed sweet taters are to die for! Meat is MELT IN YOUR MOUTH! MUST STOP! Amazing and not badly priced! We will be back!

Diego Sartori

Many things about this place! It's amazing, super efficient if you are in a rush & of course fantastic meat!! Ah, and Obama been here!

Ang

Mac & cheese , sausage , pulled pork , onion rings , sweet potato fries are all awesome! Ribs had a little too much fat on them for my taste, but I'm not much of a meat eater. Overall, awesome dinner !

Alex Baeza

Awesome place. Great food. The pulled pork sandwich is delicious. In addition to the restaurant , they also host live bands . The have both an indoor small venue and a larger outdoor venue.

Brian Strauss

I think the brisket trumps the ribs a bit. Not surprising as we are in Texas. Love that you can listen to the live music downstairs while you eat.

Hew

If you are early to a show at the indoor venue, consider camping the set of stairs on the right hand side as you face the stage. It offers a place to sit while waiting and an elevated vantage later.

Benjamin Schütt

One of the best places I’ve been the BBQ is awesome try the Beef brisket !!! The staff is super friendly and it was a great Texan experience! Thanks

Larry LaBurr

Went for Gospel brunch and wasn't at all disappointed. The food is so rich you feel the fantastic heart attack coming on, and the mimosas are perfectly flavored and fizzy. The music is insanely good!

Judith Charlton

We missed the Gospel lunch it was fully booked when we got there at 1.30. The tourist info said ‘available pm’ you need to book for the 10.30 or 12.30 seating. We went back to eat at 2.30 great BBQ !

Kenneth Tiong

1pm on a Sunday.Good, tender brisket . A bit less tasty and less hot than one would have liked but we didn't get there early 4.5/5 Ribs tasty 5/5. Tasty sausage () & nice mustardy potato salad (4.75/5)

Social News Network

Great place to see a concert . The outdoor stage does get hot during the summer, and there is usually a line to get in, but it is a solid venue to see concerts . You can get nice and close

Sarah Hibbard

While Stubb's didn't start here in Austin (a Lubbock original) the BBQ was welcomed with open arms and has been flourishing since 1986. Come get a taste of the famous sauce and enjoy some live music !

Austin Chronicle

One of Austin's premier rhythm-and-grub joints, and it has damn good barbecue . The Gospel Brunch on Sundays has become so popular that reservations are a must for both seatings.

Epicurious

Start off the meal with the fried green tomatoes , which are crisp and firm. But make sure to keep your eye on the prize and order the $17.95 all-you-can-eat family-style BBQ dinner . Read more

Jacelyn Rhame

Awesome concert venue and it's down the street from some pretty good bars . Drinks were a little pricey but that was to be expected, it had an awesome selection of alcohol though!

Texas Music Water

Besides hosting killer bands on both stages and having excellent bbq , Stubbs is one of the best places to see live music in Austin. Give back to musicians by purchasing Texas Music Water at Stubbs!

Allan White

The 2 or three meat option is a lot if food and gives more choices than the all you can eat . Everything is excellent & my favorite is the pork .

JenKudu

The spicy creamed spinach is INCREDIBLE! I loved the chopped beef . Fried okra is solid. The chicken jalapeno roll ups are a tasty little appetizer :)

We couldn’t pick just one BBQ favorite, so this place shares the title with Lambert’s. Both have great food, but your money will go a little further here.

Alfred M.

ribs , brisket , mac n cheese—and the amazing creamed spinach . wash it down with a beer . be near your bed.

Andee Derby-Aguilera

Everything is good.. wide selection of side. Great fast service .♡

President Obama sat down for lunch to discuss his vision for making sure that hard work leads to a decent living. Read more

Victor Low

The pork short ribs are great and the brisket was nice a tender. Mac 'n cheese is done right, fried okra is a good bet. Drown it all in Stubb's BBQ sauce and clean things up with a sweet tea .

Kameron Pearson

If with your significant other get the Stubb's Major with 3 meats and 2 sides to share.

Shadi

Very nice BBQ joint , a little bit of a mass attraction in Austin but the food is great. Heaps and heaps of amazing brisket and music

Bing

Austin is the live music capital of the US! And Stubb’s is in its hub (on Sixth Street), an endless row of music venues with all types of music . Try the 16-hour smoked ribs !” – Andy Grammer

Jay Harrington

Best show on our last tour (Iamdynamite). Great P.A., friendly staff , nice green room set up, good food, and it's Austin, baby! Danny might be the nicest house sound guy you'll ever meet.

Michael Rodriguez

Live music indoors and out. One of the best bbq place in Austin. Everything you could want. Go and get tickets to one of the shows.

Saundra

10 years of SXSW & i have only eaten at Stubbs once! Best venue for the larger acts. PLant yourself beside the lone Tree on the right side near the stage. Great vantage point and somewhere to lean!

Kai Brinker

Get a Stubb’s Minor with brisket and ribs . Great selection of sides too.

Michael Wilkin

Awesome live music to compliment some of the best BBQ in Austin - a big call I know! Found it here: http://supper.mx/places/stubbs-bbq-austin/

April Thompson

Convert to the church of Stubb's gospel brunch Sundays. Load your plate up at the outdoor buffet . [$19] Be sure to make a reservation by 4pm Saturday (they have 11am or 1pm Sunday seatings). Amen.

Tomas O'Brien

If your looking for reasonably priced, but still high quality bbq in Austin , this is your best choice. Hands down.

Brad Hager

Loved the pulled pork and beef brisket . Good service , friend staff , live music sometimes and nice cold beer .

Brian Fitzgerald

There's a great spot under the stairs stage left, a corner of the concrete apron where the mixing board is set up. You're about a ft higher than the crowd. Duck through the narrow space nxt 2 stairs.

Brent Miller

The Sunday gospel brunch is worth it. $21/adult, lots of good side options other than the BBQ .

Andee Derby-Aguilera

The gospel brunch is fantastic.. do not come here if your trying to eat healthy ???? but it’s so worth it!!!

The Austin Grand Prix

Discover new music gems on intimate inside stage, or rock out with rockstars at the outdoor ampitheater! Gospel Brunch on Sundays sells out months in advance because it is *The Best.*

Jessica Jones

A solid place to see a show! Drinks are a bit pricy I’ll admit.

Dylan Hickey

Gospel Brunch : website is unclear. There are 2 seating times, 11 and 1. The Bloody Mary bar and other drinks are not included in the flat price. Good food and fun atmosphere , though!

Corey Johnson

Try the BBQ - Family style ! Brisket , pulled pork , chicken , ribs , Mac n cheese , mashed sweet potatoes , potato salad , corn bread & more that couldn't fit in the photo.

Augustine V

If you are visiting Austin this place a must! Legendary music venue with legit Texas BBQ to match!!

Spotify

Stubb's is so big, it makes you feel like you're in the middle of a Texas western. Check out the Cowboy Bebop playlist on Spotify: <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="http://spoti.fi/Vi1m9c"target="_blank" data-sig="2qKpCg3jPkWUtFcQKzCgd0fBIqU=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">http://spoti.fi/Vi1m9c</a>

Great night at Stubbs! Sausage , brisket , ribs potato salad all good. Music venue top notch!

Scion Advisor

Get the BBQ and stay for a show! This is a must-see (and taste) spot that can't be topped. The acts they book are always the biggest and best of any venue downtown. Read more

Monica Kumar

Their brisket is yummy! Also liked the spinach serrano cheese side dish. It's cheesy and spicy at the same time!
