i have not done austin fer years but i ( no que) eat @ thundercloud subs.conan's pizza- there is a stubbs bbq- that would be the place-- go to stubbs... and if yer there overnight - go to magnolia cafe & get the whole wheat pancakes.....

fer bbq- stubbs....

Definitely gonna hit Stubbs, if not to eat then to get some of his bbq rub. It didn't taste like much to me when I tried a pinch of it by itself, but when I used it on some ribs it was great. If I use Stubbs rub, I don't even sauce my ribs.

p.s. we're going to memphis fer ribs- i know interstate, corky's, & memphis diner... can tell ya if it's better'n mine.......i do strive to be the better'n or the best....but i am competing w/ dry,wet, rub, sauce, mustard, carolina stlye... i'm doing texas marinade & wood- ,no sauce and a hawaiian sauce...so militant about my cook...

Give Ruby's a try. Its in the downtown area around 6th St I think. Its been 5 or 6 years since I was there but it musta been good for me to remember the name.
