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.

A perfect way to spend a Saturday! - Couldn‘t recommend this tour enough! Codi was an incredible tour guide and all the stops were top notch. As an Austin resident, it was a great way to try some of our top spots in East Austin without dealing with the lines. Or it’s a perfect experience for family and out of town visitors! Don’t let the price discourage you, fully worth it. I will be raving about this for months!

Must do, Top BBQ Food tour! - Must do, Top BBQ Food tour! Codi was our guide and she did an amazing job! She works for the magazine and is super knowledgeable, professional and down to earth. This tour costs more than others, but that’s for a good reason! Other tours didn’t offer the best stops or the portion sizes that this one does. Hands down this worth it! I shared pictures of everything we ate, minus the delicious sour dough chocolate chip cookie at the end! Codi had to go boxes ready for us and a cooler to keep them in. We ended up taking home more food than we could in person. Highly recommend.
