·Founded 1957About
Sam's BBQ is a family-owned barbecue institution in East Austin, open since 1957 — over six decades of serving the community. The Sam's Special features meat-by-the-pound or two meats and sides at a straightforward price. A true Austin original.
“We've been smoking meat on East 12th for over sixty years. Generations of Austinites have walked through our doors, and we still cook the way we always have — low, slow, and with respect for the craft.”
— The Mays Family, Owner

The mac and cheese alone is worth the drive. You can taste the love in every bite.

Found this spot on BLKAF and now I'm a regular. Best soul food in the city, hands down.
