Great tour, worth the money - We had a fantastic time on this tour with Codi! We had a great variety of BBQ and what each place had to offer, not just brisket and ribs. Also I loved skipping the line at famous places that had long lines. I would do this again.

A special treat...meat! - What a treat to experience amazing meats Texas style. It was a great variety from pastrami, lamb, duck and more. Cori was very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job of getting us around town even when the marathon had traffic snarled. Our group also got to meet a pit master as well.

Awesome deep dive into Austin BBQ - Came to Austin to visit my daughter who just moved into town. We wanted to capture as much of the Austin BBQ vibe as possible, and this tour nailed it! Our guide Cody was awesome giving us the backstory on the people and the businesses that rock BBQ and is driving quite a bit of Michelin buzz. Our tour with 7 (great peeps - who wouldn’t be fun on a BBQ romp!) took us to sample the best from 5 different spots, all amazing! Sampled so many treats and never had to stand in a line either. Lamb, beef, pork, sausage and sides galore. I highly recommend this tour!

Excellent - Cody was our guide. She was friendly and very knowledgeable. We got to eat a lot of different items that we probably wouldn’t have ordered on our own. All the spots were good but the highlights were La Barbeque and Parish!

Bachelorette Party Fun 🥳 - This was such a FUN experience. I highly recommend this BBQ tour. The spots on the tour are delicious and the amounts they give you are next level. Plenty of food and you are able to take home your leftovers! Codi was our guide and I cannot compliment her enough! She was so fun, knowledgeable, and down to earth..she really made this so much more enjoyable. If you are debating…just book it! I cannot recommend this enough.

Don’t miss this amazing food tour - Tons of good food! Don’t eat breakfast! This will be breakfast lunch and dinner. Cody was really informative and the van was super comfortable and new. There were lines of people at every stop and we just sat down and Cody delivered us our food from the five different places. That was a real plus not having to wait. Would highly recommend this tour. My 86 year old aunt liked it and was able to handle it, but my brother loved it, saying he couldn’t believe how good all the food was here in Texas.
