Franklin’s not the only BBQ legend in Austin—locals know there’s a whole world of smoky goodness waiting to be discovered. From Interstellar’s Michelin-starred brisket and peach tea pork belly to KG BBQ’s Egyptian-inspired lamb chops, each spot brings something unique to the table. Distant Relatives’ African diaspora flavors, Moreno’s classic Texas plates, and Micklethwait’s pecan-shaded patio are just a few highlights. And don’t miss la Barbecue’s housemade pickles or LeRoy and Lewis’ creative beef cheeks. With lines forming before doors open and menus that sell out fast, these seven joints prove Austin’s BBQ scene is more vibrant than ever. Which one’s your next stop? #Food #AustinBBQ #FoodieFinds
