Texas Barbeque Trail


Barbeque in the Austin area is unlike most any other in Texas (with the exception of the Hill Country). The Texas Barbeque Trail is a good guide to this cuisine. Most of these purveyors offer primitive, no-frills ambience. With the exception of Cooper's in Round Rock, most offer smoked meat and little else. For a more primitive experience at Cooper's, the gourmand must travel to Llano in the Hill Country; customers pick their own meat out of the pit area under a tin roof and then the meat is taken inside and weighed. At Cooper's in Round Rock, the fare is served on plates, not butcher paper. If this is (fair & balanced) gastronomy, so be it.
