A North Loop barbecue hall that nails the Central Texas tradition without the Franklin-level wait — Lance Kirkpatrick (a Louie Mueller alum) turns out brisket, beef ribs, and jalapeño-cheese sausage in a roomy beer-hall setting. Reliable, generous, the kind of place locals send out-of-towners who don't want to stand in line for three hours. For excellent Central Texas barbecue with a seat and a cold beer.
