Hours: Tue.-Sat., 11am-7pm
Located about 400 yards west of their old location in a 24 foot chrome yellow trailer, with magnificent sunsets from the hills above the Pedernales Valley, sits R.O.'s. Pork ribs are St. Louis cuts, and the pork loin is meltingly tender. Smoked turkey breast and smokey sausage round out the options.

Buster's meats are smoked over green pecan wood in a custom-made smoker, East Texas style. Try the Garlic Bomb: a pork shoulder studded throughout with garlic cloves prior to smoking.

Oasis, Texas

Always known for its view of the sunset over Lake Travis, this place has become an entertainment complex, offering art, souvenirs, and live music, as always. Enjoy The Oasis, Soleil Lake Travis, or Uncle Billy's Brew & Que, they're all right there.

Smokey J's Barbeque

is a definitive Texas barbecue joint with window service, picnic tables, and a smoking pit out back. Meat is available by the sandwich, the plate, or the pound, and it's still BYOB.
