12/28/09 Austin, TX. This place is fantastic. Not exactly a traditional BBQ place as you won't find any brown stains inside Billy's. They brew their own beer here. Not sure how good it is, but that's pretty cool regardless. The brisket was extremely tender, maybe too tender and shredded as soon as the fork touched it. A little on the bland side, but still achieves a solid grade A-. The jalapino cheese sausage was good, but not good enough to make the sausage hall of fame. Seems alot like grocery store sausage, tightly packed with cheese and jalapinos mixed in. The sides are great. Glazed carrots had big chunks of cracked pepper and the mac & cheese had this bread crumb topping. The bbq sauce had a fruity taste to it. Can't quite put my finger on it... Apples maybe? Sounds like a good excuse to go back and do more research. I'm not a fan of fruiting the sauce, but it's not too bad, plus the rest of the food more than makes up for it.
They didn't offer banana pudding (boooo, yes I know) but Uncle Billy's easily made up for it with thier buttermilk pie. A slice of this pie will set you back $5, but it will be the wisest 5 bucks you've ever spent. This stuff is like crack. Condominiums are currently being built next to Uncle Billy's so you will most likely have to park down towards Zilker Park. No problem though, they have a shuttle van that goes to and from the parking lot every 5 minutes if you believe the sign, or every 8 minutes if you believe the driver. Who cares either way, BBQ is never about rushing. Happy New Year!
