Big Vinny's BBQ

First time checking out Big Vinny's bbq and was not disappointed! Food truck with tables outside! I got the 2 meat platter, brisket and smoked sausage and had a dealers choice of a side which I was lucky enough to receive the spicy street corn and bbq beans. (Thank you for that!)The brisket and burnt ends had delicious flavor and the brisket was so tender and juicy. I enjoyed the burnt ends because it had good texture. The smoked sausage was fantastic, I had sausage with cheddar and I do believe the gator and I loved the flavors of them both. The spicy street corn was one of my favorites because I love spicy and creamy and it ticked all the boxes. The bbq beans were tangy and amazing because I love vinegar, not sweet and perfect to help cut the fat. The best experience for bbq today and will be back!

Awesome BBQ from a small food truck parked on South Congress. The owner's Dad was running the show that day. What a great guy! The Brisket was amazing, the beef ribs also. I got the coleslaw and also the pinto beans. I went back for a second tray of food to try the Turkey and the sausage. Dipping sauce was on point with sides of pickles and onions and three or four slices of white wonder bread. Coleslaw was fresh crisp and not too sweet. The pinto beans savory with large chunks of brisket simmered into it. Also savory without being too brown sugar sweet. They do an enormous amount of catering orders early in the day as soon as they open and they run out of food around 5:00pm so get there early around 12pm to 2pm while the food is still plentiful. They have three tables with umbrellas right next to the truck and they are parked in the corner of the parking lot of a local meat market with an adjacent customer parking lot. Being situated right on the street side you get a real show while eating your BBQ. If you can't handle the long lines , hour long wait time and lack of parking at Terry Black's BBQ go to Big Vinny's instead. Great service, support the small independent business owner and his Dad. Down to earth authentic Austin ambiance without the Bougie pretentious Austin gentrification.

Got the Big Vinny Sammich Plate service was amazing just like the food doing my happy food dance while eating

Since moving to Austin the BBQ capital we have only tried 3 places. But I have not found THE BBQ joint I will keep hunting. Shoot me a message let me know other BbQ joint First time here at Vinny's ordered 2 plate rib & sausage & hubby had brisket sandwich.The best is the service he was so friendly , quick and even checked up on us while we ate in the car. Rib- great Smokey flavor, tender, juicy & very tasty more on the sour side then sweetness. Not over coated with sauce just enough to actually taste the natural delicious rib.Sausage- WOW! One of the best I have ever had perfectly smoked, tender and the spices was on pointPotato salad- absolutely amazing not to tart or not to sweet just a perfect blend of magic. BBQ beans- it was okay more on vinegar side. For my beans I like it sweeter just like how grandma would makeBrisket sandwich- husband did not speak to me it was good.. I did manage to take a piece and it was tender and seasoned I will definitely return and try the turkey legThank you to Big Vinny for cooking with love!!! I can actually taste the passion

Wow, super awesome moist brisket and burnt ends!!Better than Terry Blacks? Today it was!

The worst brisket Ive ever had. Myself and several coworkers ordered brisket from here through a lunch service. The meat was extremely well done to the point some of it was not edible. There was no flavor to the meat. I've grown up on brisket and bbq and this was the worst that I have ever had!!!

Big Vinny's... been hearing about this place for a minute. Every fiber of my soul told me to go and get Brisket from this place. What an experience! I walked up and the guy inside says "hey, what's your name?" I tell him "Tah". He says Tah. I'm Big Vinny. "How are you today?" I told him "I am amazing, stupendous, miraculous and I am hearing all about your fantastic grub." He smiled with the confidence if a 15 foot gorilla in a world of 2 foot tall monkeys. I asked if he preferred me to use cash or card. We had a brief and pleasant convo on how cash benefits us both, so I ran back to my truck and got cash. I ordered $20 of lean brisket. Fam... socks knocked completely off!!! This was the thickest, most satisfying cuts of brisket I have had to date. This is not the dainty, thin sliced brisket they serve at 99% of the barbecue joints in Austin. This is Brisket for a brisket lover. Even though the meat was leaan, there was the perfect amount of fat on the edges and the char on the ends was PERFECT! I feel like I got more than the amount I asked for. Big Vinny told me he appreciated my positive energy. Game recognize game Big Vinny! Thanks for the amazing energy and the AWESOME brisket! I will be back with a $20 spot ready for some top notch brisket again really soon and I'm bringing friends and telling everyone. That should totally be on the menu... TWENTY-DOLLA-BRISKET.... Let's go. I cosign this place 100% just go there... tell him Tah sent you!!!

When in Austin, dine at a food truck. While exploring South Congress Avenue, my friend and I stopped at this food truck for lunch. There were tables with umbrellas to block out the sun, and a refreshing breeze so it was quite pleasant to eat there, despite the heat of the day.I decided to order the 2 meat plate and chose the Pork Spare Ribs and Sausage, along with the following 2 sides: Street Corn and Potato Salad. Those Pork Spare Ribs were AMAZING. Seriously, some of the best I have ever had. The meat tasted almost candied, and was slightly crispy with nice smoky taste. There was a sweet and savory flavor that came through and no additional sauce needed. The meat was also perfectly tender, juicy, and oh so well seasoned. The Sausage was also tasty and very juicy, boasting yummy spices, and delightfully flavorful. Street corn was good, but as I ate more of it, found the sauce to be quite spicy and I couldn't handle it. The Potato Salad was decent, and covered with paprika. The potatoes were cooked well and ingredients combined together cohesively. I just didn't eat much of it because I wanted to finish more of the mains. The meal also came with Texas toast (just white bread - no butter on this one), as well as pickles and raw onion. The person behind the counter, cooking and serving the food was really nice and chill. Although I was hesitant about ordering BBQ from a food truck, I was definitely satisfied with the meal and it truly delivered delicious home-cooked BBQ, especially those Pork Spare Ribs.

I like the brisket here. Cole Slaw is tangy, all the sides I've had are good and not basic. To me, the brisket compares with Black's, Cooper, Franklin, and Mueller. The owner is great and uplifting.

Ordered one meat lunch plate. Brisket and street corn. Corn was alright but could be better. Brisket seemed under cooked and there was more fat than meat. Now I am all good with fat on my brisket but it shouldn't be more than the meat! They were super selfish with their pickles and onions and the bbq sauce was ordinary. Overall I would say it's mediocre bbq at best.
