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.

Egyptian inspired barbecue food located in east Austin.
This former food trailer is now a full-fledged brick-and-mortar, but they’re still consistently delivering some of the best smoked meats in the city. The sides are real good, too.
Once the historic landmark anchoring Liberty Lunch’s footprint, Lamberts was established in 2006 by Larry McGuire, Tom Moorman Jr., and Will Bridges in the revamped J.P. 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.
Smoked meats – Akaushi brisket, beef cheeks, sausage, and more – come with unconventional barbecue accompaniments like kimchi, beet BBQ sauce, and kale Caesar slaw.
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?
This place serves up barbecue plates and sandwiches at the counter, plus changing daily specials.
The central location has great grub for game day. The jalapeño-cornbread casserole is emphatically not to be missed.
We swear by the moist and delicious pork loin and slices of smoked turkey breast, and the homemade hot sausage wraps are both cheap and addictive. The cobbler is so-so, but the banana pudding is very good.
