Bert's Bar-B-Q is a beloved Austin institution that has been serving up mouthwatering barbecue for over 50 years. Founded by native Austinites Bert and Joyce Johnson in 1970, this family-owned establishment has become a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike. From their humble beginnings in a small 1,000 square-foot joint near the University of Texas campus, Bert's Bar-B-Q has grown into a cherished destination, known for their delicious brisket, sausage, chicken, and ribs.

Despite facing setbacks, such as a devastating fire in 2007, the Johnson family persevered and relocated their operations to the North West Hills area. Now, they are back and better than ever at their Far West location. With a menu that includes customer favorites like the T-Man and Frito pie, Bert's Bar-B-Q continues to delight barbecue enthusiasts with their authentic flavors and warm hospitality. Whether you're a fan of classic Texas barbecue or looking to try something new, Bert's Bar-B-Q is a must-visit destination for a true taste of Austin.

Folksy 50 yr old establishment. Bbq basics done right. UT alumni football champions gathering spot adds to the vibe. Generous portions of smoked meats and tasty sides.
