Lamberts Downtown Barbecue

the happy hour on mondays when all bar food is half off can’t be beat...and the crispy wild boar ribs really are that good!

Frito Pie : Only on the bar menu. A layer of Lamberts mustard bbq sauce , topped with Fritos , chopped beef brisket , queso , pico de gallo , goat cheese , and cilantro , with a pickled jalapeno on the side.

Fragrant barbecue smoke and soulful blues waft over the roof of this 19th-century brick edifice. It's noisy . It's fun. And that's just the way the crowd likes it. The fried pies are not to be missed. Read more

We hosted a client event here and everything from the food, service and set up was outstanding. My favorite were the wild boar ribs which had the perfect amount of kick to them!

Red snapper ceviche was unreal, got the meat platter (brisket , pork rib , sausage ) with jalapeño broccoli and they give you a lavender warm towel after your meal. Plus, smell of the place is to die for

We had the boar ribs , pork chop , and rib eye . All were great. Brussels sprouts were a phenomenal side. One caution: the mac and cheese has goat cheese . Avoid it if you're not a fan.

Tried the brisket that everyone raved about and it was good but the bottom layer was very fatty and not edible. The pulled pork Mac and cheese and beans were all good. Fancy upscale bbq

Excellent brisket . A little fancier than I typically like a BBQ joint to be. But they know what they are doing. Full bar and great local beer selection .

My go to recommendation for visitors to Austin. Upscale bbq , everything on Boar ribs , ribeye , lamb chops , trout , Fritos pie , grilled oysters . The most incredible brunch spread -$40, but so worth it.

The mac & cheese was definitely worth ordering. It was good BBQ but the speciality rib dish that was recommended was burnt as you can see. The food wasn't worth the price, great, great service though.

Excellent service . Food is excellent! Had the cold smoked trout and it was wonderful!!

Pork ribs are awesome with homemade bbq sauce . Brussel sprouts and mac & cheese are the must side dishes. Good vibe is a def plus.

The most decadent brunch buffet with their "upscale " barbecue options, made-to-order steak benedicts and enough pastries and sides to fill in any empty spots on your plate.

The drinks are great!! The small bar upstairs usually has Live music … the bartenders are masters…they have appetizers and a full menu you can order from the bar

On Sunday's they run the brunch menu only, but that's ok because it's delish. At a $40 price point per person it's a little pricey , but well worth it for the offering. I'd do it again.

Offers a classier bistro-style take on the ubiquitous barbecued meats, and boy does it do a good job, with wonderfully complex flavours and live music upstairs most nights Read more

Great place! The sides were fantastic, particularly the potato salad . The flavor of the brisket was perfect, just a little dry. Overall a great dining experience.

The hubs loved the brisket . I had the delicious shrimp and grits (which my 5 year old also loved.) Excellent sides; mac and cheese and collard greens - mmmm!!)

Excellent barbq!! We sat at the bar and the service was great. There was a concert upstairs and the place was hoping. Great crowd!!

The brisket was phenomenal! Love the flavor of the chicken . Get the Mac & cheese ! The collard greens taste like someone's grandma made it. Everything is made in house. Nothing frozen.

Wow. That was barbecue worth coming to Texas. The 3 bbq lunch tasting was incredible, and the mac cheese was the creamiest

The brisket melts in your mouth. Comes with three sauces which is NOT available for purchase as they make it fresh. Mac and cheese is good.

Split the boar ribs to start. Brisket , pork ribs , and collards were insanely delicious, mac and cheese was some of the best I've had.

The meat portions on the combos, in my opinion, are a little small. Might want to order two or three. Also the Mac and cheese is freshly made and is amazing.

I started swearing loudly and uncontrollably the minute I tried the Brisket . It's the best I've had and if there's better I need to know. Shames Ironworks, Stubs and Salt Lick. Eat it.

We couldn’t pick just one BBQ favorite, so this place shares the title with Stubs. Head here if you have a little more change in your pocket.

Came here for the brunch buffet which was $40 pp. Amazing service and selection. Save your stomach for the brisket and the hanger steak eggs Benedict .

Want to grab a bite and watch live music at the same time? The upstairs is not only a bar , they also serve food! Chow down on some bbq and sip on delicious cocktails while listening to live acts.

The brisket breakfast sandwich here may change your life (at a minimum, your brunch life).

Best BBQ ever! Faves - brisket , boar ribs , brussel sprouts , Mac & Cheese , smoked trout . Can't go wrong with any of the choices. Delish!

Hard to go wrong here, good for lunch or dinner...but the underrated secret is the Saturday brunch menu .

Happy Hour treats (from 5-7): Spicy Deviled Eggs , Roasted Green Chili Queso , Crispy Wild Boar Ribs , Fried Jumbo Shrimp , Achiote Seared Chickpeas , Charcuteries and Cheeses , Broiled Oysters . Read more

Everything was great. Recommending the mezcal cocktails and the pulled pork . Fried okra as a side was fab.

The most surprising dish is the Mexican rice-stuffed quail . Topped with a quail egg , the diminutive bird is packed with flavor. Crack it open and the rice stuffing spills out. —WC http://bit.ly/NlI3mX

Try the 2 Meat Plate - Couldn't leave Austin without barbecue . Brisket and pork rib with collards and waffle fries . #pbsam (via @Foodspotting)

Delicious food and lots of comfort food . A little pricey though. Great bar . Usually crowded , but it has delicious food!

Best cocktail in a long time, best hamburger in a long time. And, we didn't even have a table at the restaurant . All eaten in the bar with immense pleasure. Hands down.

more refined Cue, but an excellent place if you want a more upscale option on your Austin bbq tour . Thought all the sides were fantastic and the pulled pork was a highlight.

Not your typical barbecue joint. A bit too fancy and expensive to call yourself a barbecue joint. The food was good and the atmosphere is great live music upstairs.

Best dining at Lambert's is during the week nights. Not only is it far less crowded , but it is the only time you can get their famous mac n' cheese !

Get the Frito Pie and the asparagus side. Both are great. Follow up with the s'more bread pudding for dessert !

Lamberts barbecue restaurant is 8 minutes drive to the south of Austin dentist Brilliant Smiles

Great BBQ spot with awesome local live music . I found these guys on my new Supper app: http://supper.mx/places/lamberts-austin/

I had the ribs and they were so tender and mouth watering! I had never tried foie gras but it was indeed tasty.

Terrific bbq in a semi-formal setting. Just do as the wait staff tells you.

While it's agreed that the Frito Pie and mac and cheese are both hunks of heaven on earth (the goat cheese is an excellent touch), don't leave without trying one of their famous fried pies . Read more

Really great service! Short rib was spectacular, collard greens amazing, Mac and cheese as you please!! Great experience!

Frito pie excellent. My ribs were a tad tough eat upstairs Great drinks

May have already left this tip....but, hh between 5-7 every day and the 1/2 price appetizer menu, hanger steak and the fritz pie . Legit.

Hipster BBQ , but it works. The food backs up the atmosphere. Among the best smoked brisket I've ever had. Definitely make a reservation .
