We visited County Line BBQ by the Lake during the Memorial weekend for lunch. The place was crowded as expected but fortunately, we made an online reservation the night before, so got seated as soon as we arrived. We got their famous homemade bread (so good) and 1/2 Lb sausage (great taste and not greasy) as appetizers and decided to go for 5 Meat Smokehouse Combo, so that I could try all the meats. The service provided was good and so was the food we ordered. The price is towards a higher range but still an excellent choice for a special occasion.
What a great barbecue restaurant. The wait is pretty short and the servers very friendly. They have a reasonable amount of parking.They have indoor seating, outdoor patio and a separate section for special occasions. The patio overlooks Bull creek and if you have a boat you can pull up and dock. There are swans to feed and always dozens of turtles floating around to feed also. Their food is fresh, tasty and consistent although its one of the more expensivebarbecuerestaurantsin the Austin area. They have a full bar. This place is kid friendly and on the patio it's pet friendly. The outside seating is smaller so if you want to sit outside be prepared for a bit of a longer wait. Overall you can't go wrong choosing County Line as your next BBQ adventure.
I had the 2 meat combo: the moist brisket with pork ribs (for an extra charge), and a whole bunch of Old Fashioned cocktails. Both the ribs and the brisket were incredible. The bbq sauces were delicious as well. The side-dishes (especially the coleslaw) were absolutely spot on. Then I tried their bread pudding which was extraordinary. Great food, great service - highly recommended.
This week I conducted a business lunch at the County Line on the Lake.This is my favorite location as you have a beautiful Hill Country atmosphere right next to the water of Lake Austin.The food is always consistent, if not on the expensive side (meat prices have gone up everywhere, so I understand).I always get the dozen smoked chicken wings. The wings either come plain or with your choice of sauce. While they do not have buffalo sauce, they do have a spicy BBQ and also a Triple S (sweet, spicy, sriracha). My server recommended I try 6 with one sauce and 6 with another, which I didn't even know was possible!I preferred The 3 S sauce by the way.County Line has a weekday happy hour from 4-7pm, which is an ideal team to visit this lovely Texas tradition.
This place is very beautiful. I has river on the patio. The food is great too. Didn't expect that the chicken breast will be tender and juicy. The brisket is quite dry but tastes good.I am giving 4 starts because the waiter misunderstood us. She asked us if where we want to be seated, patio or inside. Then we answered whichever came available is ok.We waited 1 hr+ and I noticed the new customers are being seated immediately in the inside. So I asked why did she kept us waiting while others are being accomodated already?She told us she thought we wanted to seat outside which by that time is already dark and lots of mosquitoes outside. We ended up eating late.
Wonderful BBQ restaurant with a great outdoor patio overlooking the water. The vibe is very relaxing and casual with great attentive service and most importantly delicious BBQ. It was so nice to sit on the patio overlooking the water and enjoying amazing Texas BBQ. While I love all the County Line BBQ restaurants, this one has a great ambience with outdoor seating overlooking the River. We went there to celebrate a birthday. Highly recommend. Would love to go back next time I’m in Austin.
County line is an excellent place to dine! The food was perfect and delicious, every single item! The location gives a very nice cozy vibe with great views of the water. The staff is friendly, and they move fast qoth your order! I recommend this place to anyone looking for some good BBQ, and for desert the banana pudding is superb!Just note, the prices may be a little deeper in your pocket, but definitely worth it!
How hard is it to honor a simple reservation? Very, it seems, if you’re the County Line. Very rude and disorganized hosts and waitress last night. Y’all are a hot mess…
Loved it! Outdoor dining was superb and food was great
Great BBQ and friendly staff! Able to accommodate large groups. Drink specials 5-7. I had an excellent smokey Old Fashion followed by their 3 meat special. Brisket was on point. Pork ribs were delicious and I highly recommend the cheddar jalepeno sausage links! All sides were delicious and generous Texas sized servings! Highly recommended! Will definitely be back next time I am in Austin!
