Lamberts - Austin (TX)

5 /5 sventek: Wanted to try some local BBQ flavours and was so glad I visited this place, tried their three meat sampler and all 3 meats (brisket, sausage and pork rib) were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The store bought bread kinda cheapens it a little bit lol, but I can imagine people preferring it there than not, I just left mine untouched. Visited on a Tuesday evening and it was so busy all I could get was a bar seat immediately. Friendly staff and service. Ambiance was moderately loud with low lit dinner mood lighting. Price guide (as of Oct 2025): Three meat sampler $38 Mourvedre red wine $15 Tax $4.38

4 /5 J C: The food, drinks, service and vibe here are consistently good. Portions of food are substantial too. Good value during happy hour, but the happy hour time window is a bit short and menu is somewhat limited. The location is great too if you’re going to ACL Live (Moody Theater) or 3TEN. The wild boar ribs I my favorite app. And the beef ribs for dinner are incredible. When they have the bone in NY strip on the menu it is a must order because it is so damn good - usually for New Year’s Eve for certain. A solid four stars!

4 /5 Zoe Dahse: Excellent atmosphere, friendly staff and creative menu! We loved all of our drinks and most of the food. The brisket was pretty dry unfortunately. We loved the burnt end queso so much!! And the jalapeño Caesar salad!

5 /5 Ben Kirk: Three of us had a smaller lunch before a movie. The server was very friendly and engaging and very professional. We split a wedge and one of the sandwiches and the kitchen split the plate without us asking, which we appreciated. The cocktail and draft IPA were tasty. The prices are reasonable for the downtown area. We were served with plenty of time for movie.

5 /5 Matt ONeill: Really great barbecue restaurant in Austin, with a lovely team and excellent service. The atmosphere is fantastic, a really lively place and the perfect spot for a good meal. Was the first day of the first time in Austin and an amazing introduction to a fantastic city with great people. Fresh ceviche, amazing barbecue and arguably the best pale ale I had in Austin over 5 days. Prices a bit steeper than other places but well worth it as the quality and experience exceeds expectations. Will definitely be returning next time in Austin. Location is good, easily walkable from a lot of the main spots in town.
