Had a great time. David and I talked for quite a long time, and enjoyed each other's stories. Friendly place, great food. They have Brisket, mutton, chicken, sausages, pork and many sides. Brisket was great and the mutton was a nice new item I haven't had in a while. I will be back and recommend it. Wish I had more time to try the sausage and pork, but another time. Yams and potato salad were good too. Don't let the outside change your mind it is worth the price and they are great people!!
you literally need no teeth to eat their meat. Sam’s is definitely one of the most authentic, and oldest, BBQ restaurants in the town. Totally worth every cent you pay for their food. This place has a lot of character and history, and nice vibe. Free parking available. Try it once and you’ll be regular here.
No fuss down home BBQ. We had the brisket, sausage, and chicken - sides were mac n cheese and baked beans. Highlight was definitely the BBQ and bakes beans, mouth watering.
Don’t expect too much in terms of ambiance, it’s a barebones BBQ spot with good people and yummy food.
Small gem with delicious BBQ. I tried the brisket sandwich with Mac n Cheese, which was fantastic. The people working or maybe even the owners sat and talked with us. It was a wonderful experience - I definitely recommend it.
A must visit bbq joint if you're visiting town. Different from Franklin's or Blacks (and not as pricey) but great brisket, sausage, and sides.
The most authentic BBQ spot within central Austin. Quality food, great staff, and a well-worn patina that you wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. A favorite for 20+ years -- it never disappoints!
I love Sams Bbq in Austin. Friendly service and delicious bbq brisket, sausage, mutton chicken n sides. Get to Sam's and see what's up.
