CharJuly 25, 2017OK BBQ, mostly a tourist trap. Overpriced, waiters and bar never give you the happy hour discount, pretty frustrating
- KhangDecember 18, 2011Ribs are like leather! Briskets are tender but tasteless. Chicken is good but didn't come for the chicken, nor cornbread, nor sides.
Mandy JenkinsJuly 14, 2013The service is shockingly bad. Considering the wait staff only handles drinks and checks, they have no excuse for disappearing all of the time.
Aristiles MoralesAugust 27, 2013It was ok :-( !!!! I like BBQ.... Just not from here. But the brisket was good.
Bobby MJuly 17, 2011What kool aid is everyone drinking? The brisket is effin nasty. Sad I went here with my pregnant wife and between the both of us the best part of the meal was the dr pepper. Avoid. This place sucks.
Chris RomanApril 1, 2012If you're a real fan of BBQ, this is not the place for you. The meat is tough and flavorless. The attmosphere is fun though.
Yaman DesaiJuly 13, 2013Overrated and overpriced. Sorry excuse for Texas BBQ. Brisket is underwhelming and not at all smoked well. I do not recommend.
Jordan TeagueFebruary 25, 2012Bad food, rude and unhelpful staff, unreasonably complicated ordering. Avoid if you can! Good live music( when they don't overbook for a wedding) this place is a joke.
Brian GluckmanApril 2, 2011Essentially a tourist trap, but if you MUST go here, stick to the brisket. The ribs are chain restaurant bad, and the rest is sort of "meh".
Genevieve ChaseOctober 1, 2011Don't come here for the food. It's terrible. I feel guilty for the animals that gave their lives to be thrown away. I tried really hard to like it. :(

Hill Country honors the barbecue and live music capital of Texas and takes its “cue” from the legendary meat-markets-turned- barbecue-joints of Central Texas with their distinctive, dry-rub style.
