Drove from out of state to visit family in Texas. Made a stop to Louie’s off Main St. Cool little vibe to sit and eat, service is good. The Mac n cheese is good and creamy, brisket is on point, the rice is not too bad I’m just a little picky.

Was on the way back from San Marcos and decided to stop at a a place a little off the beaten path as far as BBQ goes. I voluntarily drove past Lockhart and all time great like Blacks, Kreuz, etc. to get here, and I’m happy to say that I was not let down. Their prices are in line with other places serving up similar quality BBQ and the service was great.

I would absolutely recommend this place!! The pork ribs and the brisket were delicious: the seasoning, taste and texture were spot on! The sides were also very tasty! The seating area is very pleasant and the service was great! It really shows how the team cares about the food being put out! Had an amazing experience here and will come back for more!

The last two times I’ve been here, it hasn’t been good. I got a brisket bowl. It was more of a rice and corn bowl. The corn was over cooked, therefore, chewy. The rice and corn were really salty. There were no charro beans. If they ran out, they could have informed me. The food in the bowl was cold, including the brisket. When I checked out, the cashier read me a total with a tip included rather than reading the total of the food ordered and giving me the option to tip, and of course I would have and I did. Not cool.

This is a good bbq restaurant. Great menu, fast service and the smell of the food is nice. We liked all food that we ordered today. Very large portions and the taste of the meat is excellent. The bun in the brisket sandwich is soft and very fragrant.

So delicious. Spot on. Affordable. The outdoor seating is a great addition. This was recommended by a friend. Amazingly FAST. The counter person said “we’ll have that out in a few moments.” And I thought, “Yeah, right?! This is a food truck. Isn’t it a minimum of 10 minutes?” It was less than two minutes. I couldn’t believe it.

I’m born and raised in Austin, thought I’d go for a drive because all the BBQ places in Austin these days are run by pretentious man bun prima donnas that close shop at 4PM, charge 34/pound for brisket, make you wait in line for 6 hours, and don’t have any parking.

I do not understand how this place doesn’t get more attention and press — Louie’s is quietly and consistently putting out some seriously good BBQ. The sides here are just fantastic too — and the atmosphere is festive and charming. The brisket is on par with many of the more well-known places in Austin and, it absolutely beats out a lot of the older established places in Lockhart. Best thing — NO HUGE LINES. Service is friendly and pretty fast.

Great food and great atmosphere! The BBQ brisket was amazing: great flavor, very moist, not too sweet or too salty. The potato was great but i feel like the grated cheese on top should at least be a bit melty. Cold grated cheese seems unappetizing and cheap for the price or the meal. The overall experience was more than great but, like other reviews I’ve seen, i think it’s too expensive. Perhaps lower the price a bit?
