A beloved East Austin BBQ trailer that earns consistent praise for its brisket, jalapeño cheese sausage, and creative sides like lemon chess pie and chipotle creamed corn. The lines are shorter than Franklin's and the quality is genuinely world-class, making it a local favorite for those in the know. The trailer setting with picnic tables and a laid-back vibe is quintessentially Austin.
