The best of Austin live music. In the 1970′s, Austin TX’s Stubb’s restaurant became the heart of an explosive music scene. Stubbs was ground zero for musicians like Joe Ely and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Other famous musicians who would “play for their supper” included Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Robert Cray, George Thorogood, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Linda Ronstadt and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Although small in size, Stubb’s Restaurant was always filled with good friends, great music and plenty of Stubb’s Legendary Bar-B-Q. Come on down for some Live Music, Cold Beer and Great Food!

  1. We stopped in here after watching the bats on the Congress Street Bridge . I ordered a pulled pork sandwhich with creamed spinach and sweet potato fries . My son and husband ordered the two meat platter and my other son ordered a brisket sandwhich with double fries. The good was scrumptious and the BBQ sauce was so delicious. Parking was hard to find on this busy street.

  2. Very good. Blissful barbecue. Fried green tomatoes were perfect. Sausage is unforgettable. Be sure to go downstairs and check out the backyard.

  3. I had always thought that the best Austin barbecue had to be sold from trucks or shacks, but Stubb’s has proven me wrong. This place is perfect if you want top tier barbecue in a more relaxed sit-down/bar environment. The brisket is pull-apart-tender and the pork ribs just fall off the bone.

    Extra props for the side dishes as well. I’m on a keto (high fat, zero carb) diet so typical BBQ sides like coleslaw, potato salad, beans, etc. are off limits for me. Stubb’s has some amazing options for sides like cheese spinach, collard greens, and salad. This is going to be my go-to place from now on if I don’t feel like waiting 2 hours at Franklin’s or La Barbecue.

    As a bonus, they also regularly host a lot of live music events. Makes for an awesome experience.

  4. All You Can Eat …. Great Deal at 23.99 per person:) I definitely would recommend the Beef Brisket and Pork Ribs … Amazing.  Not too keen on the Sausage and chicken.  The collard greens were also great and the sweet Mashed potatoes.  They have a live band that starts after 930 pm downstairs…I would definitely recommend going with an appetite.  They also have feature acts in a small amphitheater attached to the restaurant.

  5. Five star seems too low. Way too low. First time eating here and not disappointed at all. The drinks are huge. We ordered the Stubbs Major which has three meats and two sides. Brisket, pulled pork, and house sausage were our meats. Collard greens and fries were the sides.

    Ok, you can read other reviews for the sides, it’s really all about the meat. From least best to best, cause they were all good:

    Brisket- great flavor but just a tad dry. Still recommend it though. Sausage- great flavor. No complaints. Pulled Pork- maybe the best I’ve had that I didn’t smoke myself. So freakin good.

    If you are in the area, you can’t skip this place. It was a cozy atmosphere inside and service was great.
