Rooted in Texas Tradition, Smoked with Family Pride

Welcome to Browns Bar-B-Que, where the smoke runs deep and the flavor tells a story. Based in the heart of Austin, Texas, we’ve been serving up authentic, slow-smoked barbecue since 2011 — built on family values, time-honored techniques, and a whole lot of Texas pride.

Our journey began with a simple backyard pit, a love for bold, honest flavor, and a family tradition that goes back generations. Weekend cookouts with family and friends turned into pop ups for ACL weekend on Barton springs and eventually a business built from scratch.

At Browns, we believe barbecue isn’t just food — it’s heritage. That’s why we stick to the classics: post oak-smoked meats, handmade sides, and all the traditional fixin’s you’d expect from a true Texas joint. Every cut of meat is slow-smoked with patience and purpose.

We’re proud to be a family-owned and operated business, and it shows in everything we do. From cutting and splitting our own wood to the 21 hour smoke on the briskets, everything is done with love and dedication. Whether you’re dining in with friends, taking a plate to-go, or hiring us to cater your next big event, we bring that same warmth, quality, and tradition to every bite.

Thanks for stopping by and being part of our story. We’re honored to serve y’all.
