Bert's BBQ

[BigTime]

On MLK just after the drag before you go down the steep hill to Lamar. The sign says Established 1970, you can be bad if you've been in biz 30 years.

I love berts. Gary who runs the place is the man. I see Ben Crenshaw and Rick Perry in there at least once a week. (not together, though they are friends)

Ok I live a couple of blocks from berts and have eaten there plenty of times.
It is really not that great. I pretty much would only eat it to fill a bbq craveing and I do not have time to go to one of the better places in Austin.

Decent BBQ. Nothing outstanding, but not bad.

However, their claim to fame is not the BBQ per se, but the T-man and the Turbo T-man. A big tub of beans, with hunks of brisket and sausage thrown in -- the turbo has fritos on bottom. It is a big, filling meal, perfect for students, and is clearly a man's meal. Plus, it was right down the alley from our house in college.

good bbq and great folks running it

these guys do a lot of stuff for UT

in college I bunked across the street and dined there thrice weekly at least.

The bbq is good and the owners are 100% burnt orange

Say hello to Gary

The Turbo is unmatched. Everything but the kitchen sink.

The frito pie is mighty tasty too!

Gary is a stud.

My two mandatory stops when I go to Austin are Bert's and matt's.

The Bert's at Far West Blvd and Wood Hollow is good too.

Rusk.

You got that one right. I worked there while I was at UT and gained about 25 pounds. Nothing beats Bert's.

Anybody who doesn't love that **** is on crack.

By the way, if you're not in the mood for a T-Man or Turbo get a combo sandwich with Turkey and Sausage. It sounds strange but it's like an an orgasm.

Speaking of orgasm, make sure you get an Eclair for dessert. We used to call it "Sky" in college because it was a cross between a drug and a taste of heaven.

Anybody else downs BERT'S and I'll hunt 'em down like the mangy dog they are.

Jay and Gary are what BBQ in Austin is all about.

Damn I miss Austin.

Consistent quality & excellent tasting brisket. The best chop beef sandwich I have ever had.

Now we're talkin' . . . and my mouth is watering. I also gained a few living across the street for a year.

These guys are die hard UT backers, also. Gotta love that.
