Big Vinny's BBQ

This BBQ blew me away. The ribs fell right off the bone. BBQ sauce was out of this world. Don't get me started on the jalapeño and cheese sausage. SO GOOD! The gentleman that served us was friendly, and very attentive. He asked us what we thought and was so genuine. This was an amazing experience in Austin, Texas. WE WILL BE BACK!

The baby back ribs practically fell off the bones! My husband and I ordered the three meat plate with two sides. We sampled brisket, sausage, and baby back ribs. The meats were tender and flavorful! I could easily have eaten a whole rack of ribs myself. It is definitely worth stopping at Big Vinny's BBQ.

This is really good BBQ, nothing fancy. But that is what makes it so great! My sister and I split the three meat plate with baby back ribs, brisket and regular sausage. So Delicious!

Brisket was good. Vinegar based sauce is good, but not needed on the brisket. Good rub and smoke flavor. Beans were a little on the salty side. Like that the potato salad is skin on, but a little on the thin side (runny). Also could use less vinegar or mustard in it. Great size servings.

I tried BBQ at Big Vinny’s, but it was windy at the outdoor table, and one taste convinced me that I had to take this home and focus on what you see in the photo. This is state-of-the-art Texas brisket and ribs. Tender, juicy, smoky. There’s so much pure meat intensity here—so much umami—that the sauce—a good, more-tang-than-sweet one—is hardly needed. Yes, slaw, which old timers like to slap on the brisket between the white bread slices to add crunch, then dip in the sauce (always on the side). For me, Texas BBQ is about brisket and ribs, and as I type this I’m tasting perfection.
