Editor’s picks from published local guides
Sam's BBQ is a Black-owned East Austin institution at 12th and Chicon serving brisket, ribs, sausage, and mutton since 1957. Smoke fills the small dining room, orders come on butcher paper, and the mutton is a rare Central Texas find. Open late and steeped in East Side history, it is a living piece of the neighborhood's barbecue and soul-food legacy.
