The Green Mesquite BBQ & More, Austin

The most difficult part of dining at this joint is deciding what to eat: the menu is enormous for a smokehouse. In the plate section alone, you can select beef brisket, pork ribs, chicken, smoked turkey, sausage, ham, and combinations. Then there are the sandwiches, and the burgers, and the "and more" section, and...

The Barton Springs location has an outdoor biergarten where you can dine at picnic tables and listen to some homemade blues. One thing's for certain, though. There's no reason to be blue after a visit to the Green Mesquite.

South Location: 7010 W. Hwy. 71, (512) 288-8300
