C Johnny T’s BBQ

Barbecue • North • $10-$25

The Pig in a Prom Dress sandwich with a warm Carolina vinegar sauce is stellar, and for dessert, a big-as-my-toddler's-face Butterfinger and chocolate chip cookies. They're on the crunchy side, and they taste like butter and brown sugar had a baby.

1202 FM 685, Pflugerville, 512/255-7447

G Lamberts

Schneider Store, built in 1873. Now it's a legit barbecue joint downstairs, and a swanky bar upstairs, complete with a stage for enjoying nightly live music, local beers, and slow smoked barbecue.

L Micklethwait Craft Meats

Barbecue • East • Under $10 • First Plates

Tom Micklethwait's vintage 1960 Comet food trailer has a smoker on the back that produces terrific brisket, as well as moist chicken, baby back ribs, and pork loin. We want the sweet-spicy-garlicky sauce by the gallon, and while we're at it, we'll take as much mayo-mustard potato salad and sweet and sour slaw as we can fit in the car. Did we mention the housemade sausage?
