Donn's Texas BBQ

Been going here for a while now. Great food and service. Pancake platter is excellent. Prices very good as well.

Ordered from Donn's Texas BBQ via Uber Eats after a long weekend at ACL, and I wish I hadn't. Honestly, this was some of the worst BBQ I've ever had, with disappointing portions that felt way too small for the price.I got the 3-meat plate with brisket, pork ribs, and turkey. Each meat was bland and flavorless -- it felt like they skipped the seasoning entirely. The ribs, in particular, were tiny, some of the smallest I've ever seen. Both the potato salad and mac & cheese tasted off, almost like they weren't fresh.The only saving grace was the fried catfish, which was genuinely delicious. If not for that, I might've thrown the whole meal away. Unfortunately, the sides didn't improve the experience. The baked beans and cole slaw were the worst I've had anywhere.As for dessert, the peach cobbler was okay -- nothing memorable, but at least it was decent. And to top it off, they forgot my banana bread altogether.Overall, this was a big letdown, especially considering Austin's reputation for great BBQ. I'd look elsewhere if you're craving something with real flavor and good value.

Once again delicious delivery! No this is not my favorite BBQ joint but they are always fast, the food is warm and I highly recommend the peach cobbler!

Donn's is consistently good and easy to get delivery pretty quickly even on the weekends. During this last visit, we got the three meat plate, which came with a decent sized portion of brisket, pork ribs, and pulled pork. You can choose, which ever three meats you'd like. The plate also comes with two sides, so we got the mac & cheese, which is my favorite side of theirs, and the baked beans, which was also tasty The delivery came with pickles, onions and bread. Lastly, we ordered the small peach cobbler, which isn't the best in town but still very good.

The cashier is very sweet and helpful, and the food doesn't take long. It's a neighborhood favorite everything I've had has been amazing specially the brisket you can't go wrong. It's a nice bbq joint

First time in Austin & Im here for the BBQ!!! Spotted Donn's BBQ off the side of the road. Didn't look like it was a restaurant at first glance! After a quick Yelp search I was all in! Seems to be Hispanic owned and operated and I love the diversity of the dinners. Cashier was kind enough to be patient while we struggled with our decisions. Luckily she recommended the Catfish & didn't disappoint!! A very casual lunch time spot with huge menu of Mexican dishes as well as BBQ plates. I came for BBQ so I ordered the Brisket plate & My Husband got the Fried Catfish. "I Tell YOU WHAT" I'm in love with the food in Texas!! Brisket was tender and juicy, Catfish was crispy and delicious! Prices were more than reasonable for the portions, I'd skip the "long lines " and come here again.

Been around these parts my entire life but never made Donn's a regular dining spot. Back in the day I worked for the Salt Lick in Driftwood so I had BBQ covered. Just 100 yards away is Jim's which I've been dining at religiously for breakfast since my teens. That about covers my dining needs every day of the week. I guess curiosity got the better of me on a recent morning and headed in for breakfast. I mean, my buddy Joe G. eats here near daily as he lives in the Scenic Brook neighborhood. What am I missing here?My ideal breakfast taco when featuring BBQ is fluffy eggs, crispy taters, mound of cheddar, and a perfectly sliced slab of fatty brisket. Salsa too! Donn's was OK. Eggs and meat cooked together; wished for Valentina's craftmanship and presentation. Second plate was biscuit and gravy; part of my usual "Country Boy Combo". Nicely cooked biscuit served in a paper boat with a plastic cup of gravy. Coupe dashes of black pepper made the dish acceptable fare. All tacos served on a single foam plate.Y'all could have splurged and gave my GF her own plate! Condiments were plentiful and appreciated. Most interesting was Donn's version of red salsa with notes of New Mexico red chili with hints of a BBQ sauce. Salsa verde and the pico were tasty too.

The service was good, and the kitchen was fast. If you're familiar with Texas BBQ places when you walk in, you think this one will be amazing - it just has that vibe to it. Unfortunately, if you want good brisket, this is not the place to get it. I had the two meat plate; brisket and sausage. The sausage was decent and had a nice crisp bite to it. The brisket was greasy - not fatty - and tasted VERY bland. My sides were fried okra and cream corn and my kids got mac & cheese and potato salad. The potato salad was decent quality, but the other sides were canned/frozen food service standards. For the price and quality, we should have chosen Rudy's.

The staff is friendly. If you're looking for a big and cheap breakfast this is a good spot. Breakfast is served all day as well for you late risers!

Great old BBQ place. Service was very helpful. The brisket was juice and full of flavor. And very reasonable priced for BBQ.
