3901 Promontory Point Dr, Austin, TX 78744

The McKinney barbecue truck was named Eater Austin’s food truck of 2021 and one of Eater’s best new restaurants because of its ridiculously great smoked meats. Pair succulent meats (chicken, pulled pork, brisket) with tangy sauces, and go overboard with the hearty sides. To-go orders can be placed in person. Host site Meanwhile Brewing is open for indoor and outdoor dining.
