Customer Reviews
First time here, but have known about it's popularity for years. Brisket very moist and flavorful. Can't say it's the best I've had, but very good. Cheesy hot link likewise very good. Herbed potato salad quite tasty and a great compliment to the meat. Best of all (and a big surprise) was the cookie! AMAZING!!! Very friendly service. Rustic dog-friendly picnic style area is as well as indoor seating.
We came to Micklethwait from multiple friends' recommendations during our week-long trip San Antonio to Austin. It was fantastic! For 2 people, we ordered the brisket, pork ribs, cheesy hot link, with mac n cheese and green beans sides. I normally don't prefer dry rub ribs, but they were amazing, so flavorful. The green beans were also perfect and a great tangy compliment to the meats. We were really impressed by the cheesy hot link - it was staff-recommended since they're known for their sausages. We came in around noon on a Friday, and we waited a bit to order but not long - and the food is prepared immediately. Staff were so friendly, helpful and welcoming - we would definitely return for the service (and the food). The indoor and outdoor seating areas are both really nice - great sp
Brisket was great. Good seasoning & flavor. Took a chance on the chili and it ended being my favorite. It was packed with meat, flavor & spice. Complimentary pickles were a nice touch and also great. Walked right up to counter on Thursday at 11:30. Absolute solid choice.
Amazing Texas BBQ! The brisket was incredibly tender and full of smoky flavor, and the sides were just as impressive. Friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere, definitely a must visit spot in Austin
I ordered the 3 meat plate. I picked the brisket, pork ribs and the Barbacoa. As for the sides I went with the jalapeño cheese grits and the campfire chili beans. I'll get right to the point, the Barbacoa was the most outstanding bite of BBQ I've had in my life. It was smoking, juicy, tender. It was simply perfect. The brisket was delicious as well perfect smoked and seasoned. I enjoyed the ribs but next to the other meats I ordered just didn't stand up to how good they were. Dont get me wrong the ribs were great the other to meats were just that much better in my opinion. The grits were fantastic, cheesy and had a nice little kick from the jalapeño. The beans were ok, I kinda wish I would've went with a different side though. We showed up right as they opened and there was only a small
