Editorial Review for Stubb's Bar-B-Q – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Moving several times since their first Austin location, Stubb's now calls the Sixth Street district home. The hardwood floors and wooden tables and chairs provide the perfect setting for the legendary hickory-smoked barbecue. The restaurant is famous for a Sunday Gospel Brunch, when families crowd in for live music, a Southern breakfast and barbecue buffet. Weeknights lean toward 20-somethings who listen to up-and-coming bands while tearing into chopped beef sandwiches and chocolate pecan pie.

The great thing about Stubb's is that they actually smoke their meats for over 16 hours- unlike most other companies that just put on some liquid smoke and throw the meat in the oven. I love eating at Stubb's - the atmosphere is casual and the food is always good. Their ribs are fab, as well as the chicken. I LOVE bbq so when i discovered Stubb's i was in love with the meats and the sauces and now i even order them at home. They have a meats catalog, so you can order smoked meats and sauces and pies. So yum!!!

Pros: Checp, Great food and Fab Atmosphere

I can't name a better brunch experience in Austin. The gospel performers are always great and the food is good, but should be better. We've always loved their sauce and regularly send it to folks for Christmas, so we get a lot of Out of Texas visitors that want to check the place out when they visit. Don't go on a show night looking for a quick meal, as sometimes the place is sold out for their big amphitheater and the lines to get in are enourmous.

Pros: Music lineup, gospel bands

Cons: bathrooms and food could be improved
