It’s good.m, I’ve been here 7 or 8 times in the last few months. Chicken and brisket were good, pulled pork on a sandwich is great. The potato salad was like a purée, pretty odd consistency. The grilled chicken salad was really good and that chicken was nicely crisped. If you’re using the bathroom, it has the thinnest toilet paper imaginable. Otherwise they’re single-person bathrooms which is nice.

Good BBQ from and old Austin establishment. Staff was courteous and friendly. Food came out quickly. Brisket was delicious and so were the sides. Pecan pie for dessert was a nice treat to end the meal. The place has character inside and out.

Ordered from Uber Eats and this place came up as a suggestion. Well I was HIGHLY disappointed...how do you mess up bbq? Maybe it was closing time and they didn't give a da**, not sure but it was bad. The brisket was cold and tasted weird. The sausage was clearly old and had been sitting for sometime. Moreover, they packed 2 side salads in the box with the bbq. Called to complain and whoever answered did not care. First and last time eating here.

Great bbq and ambiance… server was attentive and friendly. Three meat platter was a lot of delicious food (pork rib, chicken and pulled pork. Jambalaya and potato salad rounded out a tasty meal!!

First Seems like someone (completion maybe?) is stacking bad reviews here on Google… there is no way that those are accurate descriptions of this down home establishment. Unfortunately that is the nature of online…. That said, Green Mesquite BBQ of Austin has Excellent fresh BBQ. Everything looked tasted like it was made that day. Great selections and decent prices.

Awesome little bbq spot near downtown. Very nice staff, Tiffany was a great sever and attentive. We got the 4 meat plate with okra and jambalaya and also a plate of wings. I’d say my favorite part was the wings, we get them dry and crispy with sauce on side so skin doesn’t get soggy. Great taste and sauce was unique. On the meat plate, I liked the ribs best, tender but not fall of the bone. Great flavor though. I was very happy with my entire meal. Looks like they have a good daily special every day too. The pie looks amazing and they say it’s from Texas Pie Company in Kyle. I’d definitely recommend this place. Come out and support your local restaurants.

We happened upon this little hole in the wall BBQ diner near Barton Springs and are very glad we did! The brisket and ribs were moist and tasty. The service was friendly and attentive. Plus, the peach cobbler was the best I have ever had!

One star for friendly service. This was the worst brisket I've ever had. Pretty sure it was sitting in some kind of liquid. Smells like frozen meatloaf. The ribs were over cooked too.

2022-04-13 Excellent place to eat outdoors if you care about Covid spacing. Friendly service, plenty of menu depth, and great food when you’ve winnowed down to your final selection. The green beens were fresh, not canned, and cooked ‘al dente’ if that’s a thing when talking about veg. Just right for my buds. The coleslaw was meh…big standard fare for BBQ places. The roast chicken was top notch. Nicely seasoned but not overly so. The brisket was hiding under the bread on my two meat plate and was standard for this town, which is to say excellent. The portions were generous and satisfying. All in all an excellent meal again. This place is predictably good.

Friendly staff, clean and organized. The brisket was ok I ordered moist but it was still a little dry, but the bun was so dry it broke into pieces and disintegrated before I even took two bites. Fried okra was good.

The pork ribs are a MUST HAVE. They were fall off the bone delicious. The brisket was yummy, the Mac and cheese good and the green beans were okay. The hush puppies were yummy too!

Really lovely service and delicious food! My partner got a two meat bbq plate and there’s quite a few vegetarian options too - I got a veggie burger which was really delicious. All super reasonably priced too!

What a great little spot for great BBQ! We really enjoyed ourselves and Tiffany was awesome to us. We came in looking to eat and they definitely did not disappoint here! Ambiance is classic - certainly fit how I thought a real traditional no nonsense BBQ joint should look. Definitely get yourself some brisket, and don’t miss out on the hush puppies either! The Ribs too - oh man, have the ribs! Great time - will try and eat here again!

Had some tasty bbq here last week. The sausage was juicy, the ribs were fair and the fried okra was perfect. Service was a tad slow but it didn’t ruin the experience. If you’re looking for cheaper barbecue in the area and a nostalgic dated vibe Green is worth a try.

This place is one of my favorite BBQ spots. Pretty straightforward ‘Que with none of the hoopla. My go to is the brisket and sausage sandwich to go when I’m on the run. The jambalaya was tasty and the macaroni somewhat underwhelming. Over satisfied with the cost and quality of this barbecue. Also, the staff has always been very nice and accommodating every time I’ve been visited here.

This place has been around for a long time. Been a while since I've been there though. Was really a pleasant surprise. The brisket was hot, most, tender, and just the right amount of "black" to provide outstanding flavor. Pleasant staff and great atmosphere. Green Mesquite earned all 20 stars. Decent price too!

For the love of god…this food is disgusting. Had the ribs, smoked wings, hush puppies and Mac and cheese… Everything was gross… All the reviews are fake…no way anyone can believe this place serves good food…blacks down the street is the place to go…

This was a great find after a day at Barton Springs Pool. They were voted Austin's best smoked wings, and I can see why. They were so good. We also had their baked potatoes, one with pulled pork the other with chopped beef. Okra was nice and hot with a lot of crunch. We were traveling with my adult daughter, who was in a wheelchair. It was a little tight, but we fit. She had no issues in the restroom. This place is definitely wheelchair accessible. This is a must go to spot in Austin. It's low-key, with no long lines. Our only complaint is that the beer wasn't iced cold

Fantastic service. The pulled pork sandwich was very good. The smoked wings were out of this world delicious. Words can't describe how good the smoked wings are. The sausage was possibly the best I have ever had. I can't recommend Green Mesquite BBQ enough.

Five-star barbecue! A long-time Austin favorite does not disappoint. With the rise of food costs, labor force, and cost to do business, this iconic restaurant has not compromised quality or customer service. We were pleasantly impressed with the service, portions, price and quality. The meats were cooked perfectly and were very lean. The pork ribs are thick cut. The brisket has the most amazing smoked flavor. The pork and chicken were juicy and not dry. The bbq sauce was tangy and flavorful. The max and cheese is super creamy and the cole slaw was freshly chopped. Our mouths were watering and we couldn't stop talking about how satisfied we were and happy we chose this restaurant. So good. We will definitely order again. We also ordered the loaded baked potatoes and French fries on the side - delicious and fresh.

Why would you eat at Blacks? This meal at Blacks was almost $30. $7.99 lunch special at Mesquite. It’s right down the street from Blacks. It was good. Service was great!!!

Good bbq, I really liked the wings, mac and cheese, unfortunately the fries didn't do it for us and neither did the chicken tenders for the kids. Came from out of town for a day in Austin and this was our first stop as we were hungry and I had already checked the menu to make sure they had food my kids would eat. Did feel a bit out of place as we did notice multiple people keeped on looking at us. My husband and I did enjoy the brisket and wings. Also very good price compared to other bbq places in the area.
