Bird Dog Pit BBQ

Correction to my prior review. The sausage is from Miller's in Llano. It's my favorite around Austin. My last few visits have been great and so upgrading my score to four stars.

I had the chopped beef sandwich with coleslaw and iced tea. Service was friendly and fast, which was great since I had a short lunch. I ate every bite of my food and will return!

This is new management taking over the old Big O's Pit BBQ on Burnet Rd and adding their own touches.They are not very good BBQ cooks.Brisket had almost no smoke to it.It was salty but other than that, it was just a slab of boring meat.The BBQ sauce did little and wasn't much help.Spicy Jalapeno Sausage was hot but not tasty.Big O's was not wonderful but it could be okay for lunch.This is a step backwards.Save your money and go elsewhere.

We bought to go order of the chopped brisket sandwich, chili mac n cheese, plain sausage and cheddar sausage. First is the bread is really old and hard. The chopped brisket is super salty as well as the sausages. It is not a fun experience eating it flavor is overwhelming and did not enjoy it. The mac n cheese is interesting but not that special other.

The staff is very friendly. Some people may love this little place, but its BBQ was not for us. 5 of us came here for lunch and I ordered an extra meal for my husband. I love BBQ and I wish I could have loved theirs. I just didn't care for the flavor of the beans or the BBQ sauce.

Super cool historical building having always been a bbq place. Also considering how any decades it's been the home for restaurants it was spotless.

I ate there today, had the 1/4 chicken and a pork rib. Food was great, both the chicken and rib were well seasoned and tender but not mushy like some BBQ restaurants make it.Crew up front is great, I was impressed and will be back

Been going here since it was The Pit.Was always decent.Became Big O's..Was a Hit or Miss..Trted today.Chopped Beef tasted like yesterdays Brisket.Sliced beef tasted the same.Asked for Moist for the Sandwich.It was Dry.....

We pre-ordered a whole (15 pound) smoked turkey from Bird Dog for Thanksgiving. I have to say that was the moistest, tender-est, tastiest turkey meat I have ever had. Everyone was really impressed by the meat, and even dark meat loivers had some of the breast meat, it was so moist and tast. I'm a fan of their everyday BBQ, but this was a level above. Great job!

Not good. Had a brisket sandwich and a baked potato. The brisket was overcooked and dry and seemed to be sitting for a long time and the baked potato had a weird taste too it. Would not recommend.
