"Micklethwait Craft Meats is located in a renovated old house in East Austin with a small dining room and a large outdoor patio. It’s also home to some of the best barbecue in Austin, without the need to wait in a four-hour line like at Franklin Barbecue, leaving you more time for sightseeing. You’ll have access to all the standard meats an out-of-towner might want—including some excellent brisket and beef ribs—plus a few unusual sides, like lemon poppy slaw and a very refreshing citrus beet salad." - nicolai mccrary, chelsea bucklew, katherine lewin
