City Meat Market

Good food very nice people, but as a suggestion, if they were to just clean the place up make it look like a restaurant. It's no longer a meat market but a BBQ restaurant, so make it look nice!

Run forest run!Shocking interior Shocking exterior Two meats only available when we were there at 1:30pmPork shoulder Brisket Pork was good Brisket super dry How is this place open in its current condition is embarrassing for the city inspectors.... Run forest run ‍ I would rate this place zero stars but yelp will not let me post!

This my favorite BBQ place to get sausage. The brisket is good to. They also sell raw sausage that you can smoke yourself. Another great Ole School BBQ joint.

I came with mixed expectations and came away a fan. I tried to grab something on my way to Houston at 7:30am, but I found out that ribs wouldn't be ready until 10:30. So I tried again on my way back to Austin and hit them at 3:00. Neither good times but I wanted some of the famous BBQ.The staff were one and all fantastic. Very personable, nice and fully engaged. They have had an award winning restaurant for years and their people is one of the main reasons.I was on the road with limited time so I grabbed a sausage link and a piece of BBQ pork. I think it was a loin. They didn't have much left so I just worked with the meat cutter and went with what he recommended.The sausage was just about the best hand made sausage. Loose beef, very flavorful like a beef sausage should and a nice crisp skin.The pork had been around a while but was just as smooth, buttery texture and a tremendously good crust on it. I so wish I had it when it was out of the pit. I have no clue when that would be, I would expect it to be early but I certainly missed the time.Definitely give this classic spot a stop and try to get there at a more reasonable time.BTW - I sampled the sauce (the meat didn't need it) and it hit my taste bud meter. Everyone likes it different, but this was a top 5 in my book.

Ive been coming here since I was a kid. It is a hidden gem. I love the por ribs, beef ribs, and chicken. The sauce is delicious and the service is always friendly.

Hubby and I have been looking forward to trying out the "infamous" City Meat Market that's owned by the Pit Master, Toostie, from Snow BBQ. To say how underwhelmed we were, is an understatement. Brisket was soggy and no crust. Any flavor had been steamed away. More than likely came from yesterday. "Spicy" beans was just a TON of pepper put in the beans. Even my pepper loving husband was like "nah, that's too much". I did like the sauce and the pork ribs. I regret not getting more of those. Since the brisket was inedible. The dogs will be happy ‍. The atmosphere and ambience were good, folks were very friendly. And it was only $35 for all that food. I was expecting Gods to sing praises of the glory of the brisket in my mouth. Instead, I got the Wish soggy version. Also, did I even eat if I didn't get sauce or a piece of food on my clothes??

OMG! My wife and I have planned a trip to Texas from Las Vegas, NV, for the eclipse for 9 months. For 9 months I have been looking forward to Texas BBQ. Toady we went to the City Meat Market. I cannot remember a time Iwas so disappointed. This place is horrendous. I truly can't imagine how they pass any sort of building or health inspection. The cleanliness is atrocious, to the point I was scared to touch anything. The plastic drawers where you get your own plastic utensils was just caked in age old nasty, greasy funk. Plastic table clothes were worn out (huge holes) 10 years ago. I believe I would have been safer to eat it off the sidewalk in the street. Place is atrocious! Service poor, no sort of menu or price guide. Server/cook(?) dropped the serving fork and picked it up and used it to serve food. I really had to shut off my senses and think only of the food and not the place to try and determine what I thought of the food. Sausage was extremely dried out, and both brisket and pork shoulder were "ok" at best. I truly wish I had not wasted the time or the money on this place; wish I would have went to one of the mobile BBQ. Shut the place down, gut it, get new management and start over!

Have eaten here before over the years the BBQ was pretty good. However. Arrived a little before 1pm today, waited in line about 15 minutes only to be told all meat was sold out except sausage that would be ready in about 5 minutes, This is not the first I've stopped and they were out of product. There are better BBQ joints where I can spend my money and receive the food I want.

I had not eaten at the City meat market in 30 years, I had loved it back then. When I walked in the door yesterday it was exactly as I remembered it. The ambience is rustic meat market, smelling of an oak fire box that has smoked meats for a long, long time. That smell is great BBQ! We had potato salad, beans, sausage with our brisket and it was all delicious.

Food is always fresh & served on butcher paper! Fast service. Old school atmosphere. Awesome overall!
