Austin is FULL of great barbecue, all pretty much comparable on the meats, as far as I'm concerend. It may seem odd to pick a BBQ joint based on the sides, but there you go. The meats and the sauce are fantastic, but it's the vinegar-sesame slaw, the potato salad, the bread and the cobbler that keep me coming back.
Pros: delicious, abundant, must-see
Cons: BYOB, often crowded, it's a hike
