Sam’s Bar-B-Que, a 68-year-old East Austin staple, just closed its doors without warning, leaving locals stunned and Sundays feeling a little emptier. This spot isn’t just about food—it’s a piece of Austin’s soul, with a history of bouncing back from tough times, like the fire in ’92. The closure is due to building issues, and the owners promise it’s only temporary. The outpouring of support shows how much Sam’s means to the community. What memories do you have from Sam’s, and how do you think these closures affect the neighborhood vibe? #Food #AustinEats #Barbecue
