MohammedMarch 28, 2016Beef ribs and brisket were so great. Sit outside if the weather is good. Recommend.
Elizabeth HallJune 6, 2015Try the fall off the bone beef ribs, best coleslaw I have ever tasted, homemade hot from the oven bread (wheat and white are great with honey butter!), and the finger licking BBQ sauce!Upvoted Dec 20, 2024
Erica StephensMarch 20, 2016Our waiter was the best ever! Thank you Jeremy!! Got the 5 meat plate and it was all delicious! Sausage was my least favorite. Best! Coleslaw! Ever!! I enjoy the free bread and honey spread!!!Upvoted 2 weeks ago- Elizabeth HallFebruary 24, 2016Food is awesome = homemade bread, beef ribs, pork ribs, Turkey, brisket, sausage, chicken, Cole slaw, potato salad, beans, sauce to die for, homemade cobbler, and the long island ice tea. Once a year!
Andrew ReichApril 29, 2014Tried the tacos from the tips. Very good nice spicy little dipping sauce.. Wheat bread was fantastic. Sat outside on a beautiful day and beautiful sweet friendly Ashleigh took great care of us.
Scott BooneNovember 6, 2021Chill out on the giant deck overlooking the river and enjoy some great barbeque. The ribs are great, their turkey is super-moist, and an order of their wheat bread is worth it.
Come for the view, stay for the FOOD! County Line BBQ had been serving up fantastic barbeque for decades and once you taste it, you'll know why. The creekside view is iconic!
Luis AJuly 4, 2016Loved the peppered turkey and the pulled pork. This is my favorite bbq restaurant in Texas so far! Customer service is excellent!
Jen D.June 24, 2012Got the 3 meat platter: sausage, pulled pork & 2nd cut brisket with homemade bread. Don't get the margarita grande tho- they served it in martini glasses. Food is awesome & view is wonderful!!
Anastasiia ....May 30, 2016The tables outside are amazing, so nice to be outside and see river and fish around. For my taste food was ok. I liked sausage with baked potatoes and beens.
Nicole SommerfeldMay 10, 2013Brisket & sausage were delicious! Beans & homemade bread were also really good! I subbed the cole slaw & potato salad for a baked potato, which I would do again. Overall, so good!
My favorites: sausage, brisket, turkey, potato salad. The Mexican Martinis are great, and a chocolate shake for the drive home makes a great dessert.
Maritza GonzalezJuly 3, 2015I had the Memphis style pork ribs. They were delicious. And the water view was nice. There were a lot of turtles when i went.
Daniel L.June 4, 2012The drinks are HUGE. The servings are HUGE. Enjoy delicious BBQ (baby back ribs) here with friends and make sure to order homemade bread.
The turtles are fun on a nice day, but the fireplace is wonderful on a gloomy day.
Michael RodriguezAugust 9, 2014Everything is great. Seating outdoors on the lake while boats pass by and turtles/ducks try to get food is a good time.

Isaac B. SanchezSeptember 23, 2014The service was great. Very efficient waitress. Her recommendations were right on target. Food was delicious! !
Kaitlyn VarnadoMarch 16, 2014I liked the marbled brisket, but nothing is ever going to be as good as the salt lick. Homemade bread and butter is delicious.
The beef ribs were good and the servings were lawyer then expected for a lunch. The potato salad is always good.
- Deseie BurrellAugust 15, 2013Awesome fresh, warm wheat bread with honey spread! I could eat loaves! Great fun place
Brian OMarch 28, 2015Food is good/decent. View and atmosphere is outstanding. Beef ribs for the brave
Julia SandlerApril 12, 2014Great BBQ!! Beef brisket tacos were amazing. The place smells amazing from the carpark!
Mike StrawApril 6, 2010Save room for dessert! The root beer float made with homemade ice cream and IBC root beer is awesome. They bring the root beer in the bottle so you can pour it on yourself!
Ken BergerMarch 9, 2014Amazing BBQ and location. Don't come to Austin unless you include a visit here.- J. TilzSeptember 25, 2011Pork ribs are fantastic. Great view from back patio. By far the best in TX, not nearly as good as Kansas City.

- Cyrille MFebruary 26, 2011Nice family place, really nice location by the water. The beef ribs & mushrooms cooked in red wine are great!
Keshia ZMay 10, 2012The green chili stuffed pork tenderloin is BOMBAY. Your taste buds will do the happy dance.
Mike BoudreauxJune 4, 2010Family friendly. Their homemade bread and homemade ice cream are great. Bring the kids and let them feed the turtles from the deck.
Don't forget to ask for a "bag of bones" if you have dogs!
