House Park Bar-B-Que
About
900 W 12th St, Austin, TX 78703, USA Get directions
A small, lunch-only barbecue counter just west of downtown, House Park sticks to a tight weekday midday window and a no-frills routine: order at the counter, eat your brisket or sausage, and notice the old hand-painted sign out front reading "Need no teef to eat my beef." Come early, since the kitchen closes by mid-afternoon and the line moves through a single modest dining room.

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.
AmericanBar
Caroline
Austin
Caroline is a downtown Austin all-day spot just off Congress Avenue, the kind of place you can drop into for coffee in the morning and still find humming with a dinner crowd late into the evening. Expect casual American plates and a relaxed, social atmosphere that leans more neighborhood hangout than formal restaurant.
