Iron Works BBQ

Address: 
100 Red River St., Austin, TX 78701

Long-lived barbecue joints are the norm in Texas, and Iron Works is no exception. The restaurant opened in 1978 and has been a favorite ever since. Occupying a red tin building that once housed Weigl Iron Works (thus the name), the big lively place has a fantastic patio and is perfect for meeting friends over brews and brisket. Meats are reliably good, sides are tasty and a salad bar takes care of patrons who crave a dose of rabbit food.
