Iron Works Barbecue

The pork ribs here are top notch. Lines start forming out the door at 11:30am (especially during SXSW) but they move quickly. Iron Works is deceptively larger than it looks from the outside, trust me.

Authentic Austin restaurant with amazing brisket . Great atmosphere! A balcony with a view to a channel with turtles and fish . Love it!!!

To put it simply... OMG! Having visited countless BBQ places , this one beats them all. I've never tasted such a tender and moist brisket , heavenly ribs . Unfortunately the sausage is kind average.

The one meat plate is a ridiculous value. The pulled pork is delicious. Mac and cheese side is a must.

The brisket and sausages were good but not great. Really liked the cole slaw and potato salad . Also make sure to get some banana pudding for desert .

so. excellent. the brisket . the pork ribs . the chicken . the pinto beans. the sweet creamed corn . the baked yam when they have it. plate > sandwich . ALL OF THE SAUCES!

Grab a copy of the Austin Chronicle by the front door if the line is long, and peruse the Citations by Publication while you wait.

Get the sampler platter if it's your first time here - it looks huge but you'll eat it all and be happy you did.

The sausage is legit. Get it and get some to take home. Everything else I've ever had here on multiple occasions has been dried out beyond belief, though. Props for glass bottle sodas .

This is the best sauce in all of the ATX BBQ scene. Takes the meat to a whole different level! Check this place out. Delicious.

Great BBQ that is way overpriced. The food was excellent and authentic , but a two meat plate with sides was $18 for lunch .

Very authentic BBQ place ! The atmosphere is great and very friendly . Try the brisket !

Best BBQ I have ever eaten in my life. The sampler after is bomb, and the atmosphere is great. Can't wait to come back!

An old standard! Brisket is always solid, and the smoked turkey is always juicy. Lines move fairly quick.

Great BBQ . Mac cheese not so good. Lovely atmosphere - authentic and wonderfully simple. Sampler plate is v large.

Had the Beef-Brisket plate with Mac-N-Cheese and Green Beans . The brisket was so tender, and the spicy BBQ sauce made it complete.

Delicious brisket and pork ribs , but don't seat on the deck area, it's infested with termites on the wood floor!! I was wearing sandals and a lot termites climbed on my feet.

This is what a BBQ joint needs to be. No fancy stuff, no service; but amazing food! Beef brisket ,brisket ,brisket ... Don't feel a shame, get in line for round two.

Nothing fancy about this place..paper plates, very simple menu...but none of that will matter when u take one bite of the most tender beef brisket you've ever had. Use spicy BBQ or ur making a mistake

Brisket and sausage were phenomenal! Creamed corn was great, too. Could've skipped the beef ribs , though.

The Sampler is a must! Love the place. Got the t-shirt. #sxswqc

Great sauce here. Try the Brisket and the sweet corn . Grab some pecan pie as well , really good.

Authentic Texan BBQ place . Try the pork chops and brisket .

Good sausage , even better brisket . Mac and cheese is also good! Quaint little patio .

Too many good BBQ places in Austin to pick favorites, for some reason this one made me feel most at home. Delicious BBQ sauce .

One of the best BBQ places in Austin. And a perfect low-key, no-frills environment.

Get the sampler to get a taste o beef ribs , brisket and smoked sausage . The beef ribs are to die for.

Legit bbq . Brisket was good, chicken was among the best smoked chicken I’ve had.

It’s official, MTV and Dan Platzman from Imagine Dragons agree that Kimchi Taco Truck is amazing.

The beef ribs are the best. Also, the sliced beef . Loved the atmosphere.

Brisket . You can choose de sampler with brisket , rib , sausage .

Get the beef ribs for sure. They're simply amazing. Also the spicy BBQ sauce is a must.

Oh man small, nice atmosphere. The pork ribs are great. Price is a little high but totally worth it

Get a BBQ sandwich here, won't regret it! Throw coleslaw on top!

Food is amazing! Don't expect a smile or decent customer service from the cashier ; she apparently hates her life and anything that comes in contact with it.

Make sure to try the table BBQ sauce . Sweet, with BBQ kick, you'll love it!

The green beans have some kick to them, so watch out if you’re sensitive to spicy .

Brisket and mac and cheese were just okay. Better BBQ options in town .

Legit BBQ joint on the river . Authentic venue. Good food.

get the brisket--this place is incredible, EXCELLENT food and service!

The sampler plate was awesome

Get the table outside where you can watch Waller Creek.

The ribs are their best dish but if you want to find that out on your own try "The Sampler" comes with the brisket , a sausage and 1 rib ! - the best BBQ in downtown Austin.

If it's your first time, consider the "Sampler" plate. If you're 2 people, add one other plate of whatever looks good, and the two of you will really chow down. This stuff is really the BBQ sheeyat. Read more

Try the beef brisket with cole slaw and sweet corn salad . It's wonderful!

Sampler shampler, just order one of everything on the freaking menu. Food coma has never felt so good. You'll be counting ribs to fall asleep from here on out.

Great briscuit and everything else for that matter. Sauce is sweet with a little bite. Also, they have a great selection of sodas .

While waiting in line , check out the 1935 flood line inside on left wall.

The beef ribs are phenomenal. Why would you get anything else?

Good "visiting Austin" group dinner place. Plenty of space and not too loud ... and really good BBQ .
