Out of this world! I lived in Austin for 20 years and moved in 2016, I still live for coming back and trying the newer hot spots. This place is killing it. Watching these guys slice the brisket and dress each slice with brushed beef tallow really put this over the top for me.
Choripapas, slaw, 1.5 lb brisket, 1 lb beef cheeks, 2 links of jalapeño cheddar sausage. 160 bucks with tip for this plate, but I don’t see where you’re going to feed 3-4 at a Michelin star restaurant for cheaper.

Not that I’m a fine dining supporter but also that money spent there is for an experience (wait staff, setting, etc) not just a few picnic tables and a platter of food all served together.
Comparing this to Michelin star restaurants is kinda wild to me. Food looks bomb tho, I could argue it’s worth the price for sure.
A Michelin star is a prestigious award given to restaurants for exceptional cooking and dining experiences.
The star rating system:
-one star for “a very good restaurant”
-two stars for “excellent cooking worth a detour” -three stars for “exceptional cuisine worth a special journey.”

I totally agree, I had a place last week that was under 40 bucks for the same amount of meat and sides and I loved it. I spent a similar amount at Leroy and Lewis and equally loved it. I feel like you’re paying for something a little more than food at L&L and I support that. The food is definitely top notch but so is the atmosphere, drinks, and the staff. It amounts down to if you think your dollar there was worth it, mine definitely was!
Lewis bbq the best bbq I ever had
What would they charge you for 4 more slices of bread?
