Terry Black's serves classic Central Texas barbecue by the pound, sliced to order at the counter. The anchor of every tray is the brisket, a long-cut prime grade beef cooked until the fat renders completely into the meat. Ribs run both pork spare and beef depending on the day, and the house-made sausage links are a must-order alongside any plate.
Beyond the smoked meats, the kitchen turns out scratch sides that hold their own: creamy jalapeño cheese grits, tangy coleslaw, pinto beans cooked down with smoked meat trimmings, and fresh-baked bread to soak up every bit of juice on the tray. Seasonal specials rotate through, so regulars always have a reason to see what's new at the pit.
The restaurant is open seven days a week from 10:30 AM, with extended hours on Friday and Saturday nights until 10:00 PM. Catering and large-group orders are available through the website at terryblacksbbq.com/austin. Whether you're feeding a backyard crowd or planning a corporate lunch, the same pit-smoked quality comes with every order.
