Vic's BBQ

2/12/10 Austin, TX. Vic's at noon is always crowded. That's a good sign. Part of the popularity is no doubt related to their pork steak special. It's the real deal. Sometimes the steak is so big they have to cut it just to serve it to you. It's quite possible that they don't serve it every day, but a call ahead should answer the question for you before heading out. If their brisket is as good as the pork (still a mystery because everyone gets the pork), then who cares what day you go. The sausage is from Elgin and is, as expected very, very good. No frills, just honest to goodness tasty sausage. Next time, I will sample the brisket, but it will be difficult to say no to the pork steak. Vic's get's an A all around. They do have pies for dessert with crusts in the shape of Texas on top, but they're shrink wrapped in plastic so I gave them a miss. They also have decent sweet tea that comes with the $7.95 special. Sides (beans and tato salad) are unremarkable, but if it's sides you want go to Pok-E-Jo's instead. Vic's is pork steak perfection! Just be sure you get their early enough because sometimes they sell out before noon!
