Black's BBQ

A new chapter is taking shape in Austin 🤠

We’re starting to imagine what this space can become… from the layout, to the community, to the first beef rib here.

Until then, we’ll see y’all at 31st and Guad.

For nearly 100 years, we've kept it simple.

Today, we're showing you how we season pork spare ribs using the same approach that’s been part of The Original Black’s BBQ for generations.

Check out our YouTube through the link in our bio for more behind-the-scenes looks at the craft of barbecue.

Long before The Original Black’s BBQ became what it is today, there was Northside Market.

3rd Generation Pitmaster Kent Black grew up watching his parents, Edgar Black Jr. and Norma Jean Black, build the family business through grit and dedication — lessons that continue to shape Black’s BBQ today.

The Original Black’s BBQ sausage has stayed true to its roots for generations: crafted in-house in Lockhart, hand-stuffed, hand-tied, and hand-cut, producing about 6,000 links a week 🤯

Ever wondered why our chopping block looks the way it does?

Shane Uriot visited The Original Black's BBQ in Lockhart to learn the stories behind our history, our barbecue, and the chopping block that's been part of Black's for generations.

Thanks for watching! Today I went to the oldest BBQ Restaurant in...

Welcome to the new home of The Original Black’s BBQ in Austin... well, not quite yet.

We’ve got quite a bit of work ahead before we open these doors. What do y’all want to see as we bring this space back to life? 👇
