Interstellar BBQ
About
12233 Ranch Rd 620 N suite 105, Austin, TX 78750, USA Get directions
Tucked into a strip-mall corner in northwest Austin, Interstellar BBQ is pitmaster John Bates' take on Central Texas barbecue, where the brisket and pork ribs share the tray with sides that get as much attention as the meat — think scalloped potatoes and seasonal twists you won't find at most pit stops. Lines form early and popular cuts sell out, so plan to arrive near opening rather than counting on a late-afternoon visit.

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.

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.
