ℳ𝒶𝓎♍October 29, 2015No 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 CruzApril 3, 2015Definitivamente 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 CauseyDecember 16, 2012The 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 SartoriMarch 13, 2015Many things about this place! It's amazing, super efficient if you are in a rush & of course fantastic meat!! Ah, and Obama been here!
AngJune 22, 2015Mac & 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!
HewJuly 28, 2013If 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.
Judith CharltonNovember 20, 2018We 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!
Brian StraussMay 16, 2018I 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.
- Sarah HibbardNovember 6, 2018While 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!
Alex BaezaSeptember 20, 2017Awesome 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.
Benjamin SchüttJanuary 30, 2019One 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 LaBurrJuly 6, 2015Went 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!
Social News NetworkAugust 12, 2013Great 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
Kenneth TiongMarch 24, 20131pm 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)
Jacelyn RhameOctober 30, 2015Awesome 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!
Austin ChronicleJanuary 17, 2013One 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.
Texas Music WaterDecember 6, 2012Besides 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!
Victor LowSeptember 8, 2012The 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.
Allan WhiteMarch 18, 2013The 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.
IFCMarch 7, 2013We 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.
BingAugust 2, 2012Austin 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
JenKuduMay 1, 2016The spicy creamed spinach is INCREDIBLE! I loved the chopped beef. Fried okra is solid. The chicken jalapeno roll ups are a tasty little appetizer :)

ribs, brisket, mac n cheese—and the amazing creamed spinach. wash it down with a beer. be near your bed.
Dylan HickeyDecember 30, 2012Gospel 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!
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.
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!
ShadiDecember 13, 2015Very 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
Brian FitzgeraldMarch 15, 2012There'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.
Tomas O'BrienSeptember 10, 2015If your looking for reasonably priced, but still high quality bbq in Austin, this is your best choice. Hands down.
EpicuriousMarch 30, 2015Start 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
Brent MillerSeptember 6, 2015The Sunday gospel brunch is worth it. $21/adult, lots of good side options other than the BBQ.
Michael RodriguezSeptember 29, 2014Live 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.- Michael WilkinMarch 16, 2015Awesome 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/
Kameron PearsonJuly 15, 2017If with your significant other get the Stubb's Major with 3 meats and 2 sides to share.
- Andee Derby-AguileraSeptember 2, 2018The gospel brunch is fantastic.. do not come here if your trying to eat healthy 🤭 but it’s so worth it!!!
Jay HarringtonJune 26, 2012Best 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.
Corey JohnsonMarch 13, 2012Try 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.
Brad HagerJanuary 7, 2017Loved the pulled pork and beef brisket. Good service, friend staff, live music sometimes and nice cold beer.
Augustine VAugust 15, 2014If you are visiting Austin this place a must! Legendary music venue with legit Texas BBQ to match!!

Paul LuningApril 5, 2018Music venue is excellent- intimate, well-equipped, great smells from barbecue in the restaurant above.
Adam AtiqullahMay 26, 2014Really cute skinny girl on the wait staff really knows how to work it to get a good tip. The food is all kinds of greasy goodness.- AndrewGroveSanAntonio GroveSeptember 23, 2023Great night at Stubbs! Sausage, brisket, ribs potato salad all good. Music venue top notch!
Get here early if you want a decent view of the stage! People in the back love to talk over the music.
Zain MohammedJune 14, 2015Lives up to the hype, son. Although, don't always fall prey to the unlimited meat option, all you really need is a plate.
