We had Lula Mae's BBQ today and I found the brisket to be dry. The smoke flavor was good, a bit over salted, but over all dry. We also bought the smoked pork chops but I did not want to try them after consuming a bit of dried brisket. This was a miss for them today.

There's so much good BBQ in Austin it's hard to hit them all. Lula Mae's is about a 5 minute drive from me and I finally crossed it off my list today when DoorDash sent me a 25% off coupon for pickup. Got a 2 meat plate for $15 before the coupon, and picked brisket (obviously) and pork chop, thanks to Yelp's recommendations. Both were very tasty, and it came with great mac & cheese and green beans. Had about half of the plate, so it's 2 meals easily for me. It wasn't my favorite BBQ in town, but it is definitely a solid choice.

Finally stopped in. Ordered a sliced brisket sandwich. Extremely flavorful. Had the bbq added to the sandwich. Wished I asked for heavy sauce. Overall, I'm pleasing...fair price, good sandwich.

I forgot to take pics of the food because I scarfed it down too quickly. The roasted chicken at Lula Mae's is AMAZING. So smoky and juicy. I was very pleasantly surprised with this item given that brisket is usually king at a BBQ shop in Texas. (Note: I did not get to try the brisket since I came too late in the evening and she was sold out. I'll return earlier next time.)The sausage is very nice and flavorful. The green beans were simmered until soft. The porkchop was rich and meaty...although I personally preferred the chicken over the porkchop.Lula Mae's tastes like your mama's home cooking. It's comfort BBQ done right. It's your neighborhood BBQ stop. I'm a fan!(located inside BREW convenience store...there isn't a very obvious sign but you'll see the counter in the back once you walk in.)

Lula Mae's is a gem. Do not be fooled or discouraged since they are serving food from a convenience store. Food is delicious and the portions are satisfing. Highly recommend the brisket.Also the person at the counter, who I assume is the owner, is very nice and the type of person who just puts a smile on your face when you talk with them. She really made the experience great from the beging and the food just sealed the deal.

This is a hidden gem in the back of a gas station convenience store at Airport and 38th 1/2 St.Super nice people behind the BBQ and delicious brisket and sides.

Got off the plane and wanted some Texas BBQ! What we discovered was not only great BBQ but serious hospitality to go with it. Unfortunately Angel (the owner) was out of Brisket, but to make up for it she gave us a free sample of everything else she had left. Clearly, Her mom named her appropriately. We left with a sandwich, some sausage, and smiles on our faces. We will most definitely stop in for Brisket on our way back to the airport at the end of our trip. (She promised to save me some ) Highly recommend!

This is the 15th consecutive year that my wife and I have visited Austin for a month long reprieve from our cold and snowy Canadian winters.This is the first time we tried Lula Mae's BBQ ... it is nothing short of fantastic. Wish we had found this place earlier.Lula Mae greeted us as if we were family, we told her it was our first visit, she sat us down and gave us samples of her smoked brisket, sausage and pork chops ... The brisket was "melt in your mouth" fantastic as was the sausage and pork chops. I ordered the three meat platter and my wife ordered the two meat platter, each included two sides. The meat portions were huge!Lula Mae's is inside the CITGO gas station store, her area is small and geared more for take out as evidenced by the customers who came in for brisket sandwiches while we were visiting. The place is easy to miss and not well signed so just look for the CITGO gas station on the corner of Airport Blvd & E 38 1/2 Street.The brisket and sausage were better than the old Texas Rib Kings that used to be on Burnet and Research and definitely better than The Saltlick BBQ because her BBQ is all about the smoke ... not the sauce. The brisket pulls apart with a fork!My wife would never eat brisket or sausage in the past ... she loved it at Lula Mae's, we had great food and a great visit, both provided by a wonderful lady.

This place is killer. It's different than the current Austin trend of heavy bark on the brisket, this is a more old school, style with more flavor. All of it has a lot of smoke flavor, especially the sausage. Hands down best sausage!Hope they stick around!

Yikes! My 1st visit was excellent, but this second visit (several months later) was disgusting. The mac and cheese tasted like they either used buttermilk or expired milk. Same for the desserts. The banana pudding especially tasted like it cake straight from the box, soggy, gross. The green beans are still decent but I'm not sure if I'll be returning.
