Terry Black's Barbecue
Austin
Terry Black's sits on Barton Springs Road in a barn-like space, where you'll order cafeteria-style at the counter, watching the pitmasters slice brisket by the pound straight off the butcher paper. It's worth arriving hungry and a little early, since the lines move steadily but the brisket and beef ribs can sell out before closing.
Corner Restaurant
Austin
Set in the JW Marriott on downtown Austin's 2nd Street, Corner Restaurant leans into all-day American dining, opening early for breakfast and staying open late at the bar. Its corner spot puts you within easy walking distance of the convention center and the bars and music venues just a few blocks over.
