Micklethwait Craft Meats Bbq Catering

By far, Micklethwait was our favorite meal of our Houston and Austin trip. We got the 3 meat 2 sides plate. We selected pork ribs, brisket, sausage, grits, and cabbage. The brisket and grits were the stars of the plate, but everything else was tasty too. We arrived around 11:50 AM on Thursday, and there was only 1 person ahead of us in line. By the time we had finished around 12:20, there was about ten people in line. If the line had been shorter, we would've gone back for seconds. All in all, we were very impressed with the food, especially considering that the initial wait time was so short. Unfortunately, we visited on the second to last day of our trip, so we didn't have the chance to go back.

Taste: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Food truck with lots of tables!! Loved every bite

The hubby and I arrived at Micklethwait on a Thursday afternoon. It wasn't super crowded so we were able to order and find a seat within 10 minutes. We ordered the brisket Frito pie which was very good but way too spicy. We pushed the jalapeños to the side but it was either the chili or salsa verde that continued to kill our tastebuds. A little warning would've been nice, so we'd know not to order it. We then shared the two meat plate with brisket and sausage with a side of mac and cheese and potato salad. The brisket had a nice smoke ring to it, sausage was our favorite part of the meal, while the mac and cheese and potato salad lacked salt. Not my favorite bbq place in Austin but worth trying for the sausage alone. The service was lackluster. They weren't rude but not friendly whatsoever which caught me off guard, since Austin seems like a very friendly place.

Absolutely fantastic. The Sope was a special item. So loaded, I could not pick it up with my hand (I mean, I did, but quickly put it down because it wasn't stable). Loaded with lamb and an assortment of toppings and spices. The Sope itself was unctuous and lovely to bite into. The sides were also very good, but the meat was perfect, clearly the star of the show.

We came midday to Micklethwait and had a few people ahead of us in line but after placing our order, our food didn't come out for 40 mins. Being it's all pre smoked we were a bit surprised and so we're the people around us. The food itself was good the lamb was tasty but a lil dry, the brisket was decent but I had better over the weekend, thso grits just good not great but the beets were delicious. I like the open set up and that they were dog friendly but given the wait and compared to other bbq we had in Austin, don't think we would be back.
