Chief's Bbq

I've been stopping at Chiefs when I pass by for about 10 years. The chopped beef sandwich has always been on point. The staff seems happy over the years and ten to stick around longer than expected. It's always the same experience. I'm driving passed this area of austin and I See chiefs! I stop in, I drive home satisfied. I never seek it out but it's there right on time. That's why I would elect Chiefs as one of the lesser known restaurants to keep on the radar. Numerous gems line the austin infrastructure. It's to those gems that we owe Austin's originality and ease of living. Keep Austin weird and alive!

Picked up a pound of Turkey, a few pounds of Ham, and a couple of links of sausage. Turkey was great, moist and flavorful. Ham was also very good but a little salty. Menu said Elgin sausage but I actually found it less greasy than Elgin sausage I've had in the past. Perhaps they smoke it longer, as it had great flavor and very meaty. I've had their brisket in the past and it's very good. Good BBQ sauce. Joe Bob's beans are great and they have good burgers. Try The Barney and The Homer, fantastic.

My boyfriends family and I wanted some barbecue after visiting Austin! We were a total of 6 on a Sunday night, and the staff were super kind and accommodating. I enjoyed a chopped brisket sandwich with jalapeños. While the rest of the family had a burger, ribs, and sides (potato salad hit the spot). We ate outside and just hung out.

Me and my grandpa have been coming to Chiefs for years now…at least since 2017 for me. Probably earlier for him. He always gets the chopped brisket sandwhich and I’ll get the sliced Turkey with fried okra and a sweet tea. Same great crunchiness and taste every time, and the sweet tea is my favorite part! Love the staff as well, everyone is always so friendly and they have some badass movies going all the time!

Very impressed with this “hole in the wall”… very generous on portions, and great prices. The food surprised me more than anything… when I walked in, I knew it was either going to be amazing or awful lol… it was definitely amazing. You’d think there wasn’t anything special about a simple baked potato, but it was hot and cooked to perfection with an amazing texture. The Turkey also had an amazing flavor! The patty melt was a masterpiece. Ignore the bad reviews, and give this one a shot! Most of the bad reviews were from long time customers with one bad experience, but there’s a reason they kept going! I will be back! 10/10 recommend
