I decided to try some BBQ while I was in Austin. Must say, Terry Blacks was disappointing but still good 7/10. Beef rib was super fatty to the point it wasn’t enjoyable at least for me. Brisket was just ok. Corn bread was ass. Bread pudding was a check ✔️
Interstellar was out of this world(slaps knee) 11/10 this was so good, and worth the wait (was to late on the beef rib). Brisket was amazing, Kielbasa ✔️, drunken turkey KILLER, pork ribs were the best too. Peach Tea Glazed pork belly was a 7/10 not the craziest about it but everything was easily the best bbq I’ve had ever.
La Bbq was good but the mac and cheese was amazing – rest of the bbq was good not great but I will say the beef rib here was better than Terry Blacks (asked for a small one lol) 8/10.

Now to try the best tacos… I love me some Authentic Tacos. Who’s got the best authentic Tacos in Austin yall? I did try Las Trancas, and I have to say that was pretty bomb!
Which turkey did you like best?
I agree with your rankings here; Interstellar is the best of the bunch by FAR (I happen to really like the pork belly, though). But the mac & cheese at la Barbecue is my favorite mac & cheese in Austin, so I’m glad you pointed that out.
100% I’ve been telling people for 3+ years that there is nothing better than Interstellar for BBQ in this city. Honestly a shame you didn’t try more sides or their tortillas. Also, the pulled lamb shoulder is incredible.
Bless up for hating on TB’s cornbread. It’s the worst.
Sucks you had an off-day on their meat though. I find them remarkably consistent.
I risk my life for Terry blacks BBq every week
That’s a shitload of bbq. I’m always amazed when folks visit for like two days and they eat bbq three times or something. But it all looks delish glad you enjoyed!
sad
Totally agree with this review and try to tell people both who live here and visit that Interstellar is where it’s at but they never listen and always go to terry blacks.
Interstellar all the way
Very accurate with Terry Blacks, the quality has significantly gone down with new management direction, the GM is extremely clueless and doesn’t know a thing about BBQ. He came from Dave and Busters. The quality employees and managers that were there have been pushed out and they’ve just lost touch with what made them popular. Just my 2 cents.
