The best BBQ in town – Of all the BBQ places (the real ones, not those generic ones) Sam's is the best. I always get the mixed plate, and I must say, try everything. The food is prepared for you right there and everytime I go there, the meat I order is always being taken out of the stove and ready to serve. The staff are very friendly and I love talking to the staff when I go there. I know many people may not feel comfortable about going to the location of where it's at late at night, but trust me, I have been there late at ... read more

Best BBQ in Austin – THis is nothing but good, moist, who cares about some grease BBQ. It reminds of me of a shack out in East Texas that I used to go for the best BBQ in that area. With Rudy's in mind, it's good there are still less generic BBQ places in the Austin Area. The meat and sauce is both sweet and peppery spicy at the same time. Good Stuff.....

One of the best.... – Sams is tops on my list of best BBQ places in Austin. There isn't much ambiance, but if you want good food, this is the place. Everything on the menu is good...I've tried it all, so feel free to try anything. The brisket and ribs are my favorites. The only possible downside to Sam's is the location. It's a small place, but the food and service is well worth the trip.

tastiest, juiciest bbq in austin – Sam's is not the best place to eat after dark, but if you can, pick up a pound or two of their great brisket... some ribs... oh, and their delicious chicken. It is honestly, the best bbq that I've ever had. Note: If you mind a little grease, go elsewhere...
