Down South Texas BBQ

I've had their food once before a couple years ago when they catered in the lobby of my office building in DT Austin, and I gotta admit it wasn't amazing. However I wanted to try them again and hot dayum I was impressed. Got the sampler platter to try a little of everything, and the rub they used on their brisket and spare ribs is so tasty. The pulled pork was tender and juicy as well. Sausage was okay, but that's never been my go-to anyway so take that maybe at face value if you're a big sausage fan. Sauce wasn't needed for the ribs (seriously, so tasty) but complimented the brisket very well. As for the sides we got Mac n cheese and potato salad. We didn't love the bacon in the mac n cheese suprisingly, but the texture of the MnC was exactly what we look for with a fresh serving. The potato salad was mayo based which I definitely don't prefer, but the egg or something they had in it made it taste a lot better than your standard mayo potato salad. Definitely recommend this hidden gem to others!

Since we didn't have a car to get around Austin, I had to order delivery through UberEATS instead. Even if the meats were not too warm anymore when they arrived, the smoke wafted through the hotel room as soon as I opened the bag inviting us to dig into BBQ feast. Down South BBQ is our first intro to Austin BBQ and has now set the bar high for the rest of BBQ joints we're going to check out through the week. I've previously had "Texas BBQ" in California, Seattle and Toronto but they do not come close to the smokiness and flavor from Down South. My favorite was the brisket which was well-marbled and had a perfect smoked crust - so tender, juicy and packed with a smoky punch. You can skip the Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese and get more meats instead!

My husband and I popped over to Texas to surprise my mom for her birthday, and we did not want to surprise her with having to cook for us so we decided to get some BBQ. We ordered ribs, brisket, baked beans, and potato salad. The order also came with bbq sauce, onions, pickles, and bread. Everything was awesome. My aunt said she would marry the owner because of how good the ribs were.My favorite part was the rub on both the brisket and ribs. Ribs had a tiny bit of spice and the brisket was a good salty/peppery crust. I'm pretty particular about bbq sauce and usually make my own. Down South Texas's sauce did not disappoint. The potato salad had a little bit of sweetness to it which was interesting and awesome. The location is pretty easy to get to and is in a small food truck park. I always love food truck parks because if you're with some weirdo who doesn't like bbq there are options around for everyone to enjoy. It's also great for covid-friendly outdoor dining. Highly recommend!

Omg if you love BBQ like I do then this is the place you should go to. You know the BBQ is delicious if you don't need any sauce on it. Y'all they have rib tips its hard trying to find a BBQ place that sells rib tips (it's a Chicago thing) the brisket is oh so tender, the greens and macaroni are mouth watering and the beans are absolutely delicious hurry up and get there before they sell out

My go to for brisket nachos and like always they come thru. Can't go wrong here. A must try!

Came to our office complex for Fooda Friday. Brisket was moist, tender and not overly fatty. Generous thick slices for a lunch plate. Unfortunately both the potato salad and the baked beans had a sour taste, as if they were on the verge of spoiling. Wish they offered a slice of bread, pickles and onions with their plate.Overall another just okay BBQ place.

Just opening the bag smelled like heavenly smoked goodness ...Born and bred Texan here. Down South is for sure worth your time and money. The brisket had an on point pepper/smoke flavor. The sides were all delicious. We look forward to more bbq here in the future!!

My boy never disappoints. The sampler filled me up with extra Mac N Cheese. Saved my Turtle brownie for later, Thanks Mama!

The only reason that I gave a 3 is because there was a broken toothpick in my greens.That took my appetite away

They were closed when it said openThis is the third time I have driven all the way over there to find that the food truck is closed. I know it is hot, but it should be advertised that the business is not open.
