Kreuz's

Beef?

Pork?

I have my doubts.

People should not **** with certain things, good bbq traditions being one of those things with which you should not ****.
 
Sides. Sides. You would decide your ******* bbq on the basis of SIDES??????

That's like passing up sex with a smokin' hot sex maniac because her okay looking friend who only does it missionary has nicer drapes hanging in her bedroom. You are COMPLETELY missing the point.

BBQ is about fire and meat. Everything else is superfluous.

Sides. Sheesh.
 
Yep, the sides at Salt Lick are better.

The bbq at Salt Lick, however, sucks in comparison to anything you can get in Lockhart. Salt Lick is about atmosphere, and that's about it. Their bbq is decent, at best.
 
I am amused that people would compare Salt Lick to Kreuz's. This is no effin comparison. And whoever asked if they were beef ribs, that was funny also. This isn't West Virginia.
 
Go to where they it RIGHT. Coopers in Llano. Any place where you walk up right to the pit, they open it, and you point to the slab of meat that you want, is freaking awesome. Best brisket I've ever had. They have brisket, chicken, sausage, steaks, pork chops, ribs, and sometimes, cabrito. Good sides, and giant pots of beans simmering inside, gratis. Metal silverware, free bread, free beans and onions. All served on wax paper.
The drive up there is a bit long, but this time of year is worth it with the wildflowers out. Go on a nice Saturday or Sunday and eat at a table outside and watch em working the pits.
 
I have never eaten at Cooper's but many people I know who have prefer Kreuz's. The only thing I don't like about Kreuz's is the no forks, charge me out the *** for anything.

I also like Southside Market in Elgin for their sausage.
 
Cooper's v. Kreuz is not an either-or sort of thing. They're totally different. Mesquite, direct cooking vs. oak, indirect cooking.

Kreuz -- beautiful chop, very good brisket, outstanding sausage. Sides are cheese, onion, and an avocado.

Cooper's -- beautiful chop, very good brisket, great goat, lousy sausage. Only side I get is the free beans, with fresh onion in them.

Cooper's may be a long drive, but it is part of the routine for one of my favorite ways to spend a day -- head up and eat a late lunch at Cooper's. Get a huge chop -- so big that you can't finish it. Put the leftover in your cooler. Head up river about 20 minutes. Flyfish the Llano for sunnies and bass till dark. Get in the truck to go home, eat your leftover porkchop on the drive home. It's so beautiful it makes me cry.

Salt Lick is about image, experience, and a social good time -- and I enjoy it for those things. It ain't about the barbecue.
 
OK try this.. next time you go to Coopers, go across th street to the place up on the hill. Try the Turkey Sausage.. you will thank me!
 
The best ribs I have ever had are at Artz Rib House on South Lamar. I believe they have 4 different kinds of ribs. I have had the "baby backs" and the "country style." They are incredible! They also have entertainment 4-5 nights a week. I have never had anything else there as I could not pry myself away from the ribs.

I live in Houston. While Luling City and Goode Company are my favorites for brisket, turkey, and sausage. I go to Artz in Austin for ribs. Believe me, they are that good.
 
What was the name of the rib place in Chicago in that one MASH episode? All I can remember is people keep bitching at Hawkeye becuase he diddn't order any coleslaw.
