Twelve Bones Bbq

We got the brisket, sausage and ribs. Everything was delicious and the seasoning was unreal. We went late in the day and all the meats were still super juicy. The bbq sauce is tangy, thick and unique, the potatoe salad and beans were seasoned to perfection with hunks of meat mixed in. Alonso was super personal is our favorite bbq chef in Austin. Also prices are suuuuuuper reasonable for the portion size!

This is really interesting BBQ. It’s good, don’t get me wrong, but they definitely put a unique twist on the meat. The BBQ sauce almost has a curry like flavor to it...again not a bad thing, but just interesting. It does pair well with the meat. The meat isn’t overly black peppery which is a feature I love since everyone else in Austin seems to do it that way.

Made a stop here for the first time after hiking McKinney falls and I was pleasantly surprised! The brisket and turkey moist and amazing. So was the sausage. It had a great taste and they had a sauce that was unique but went well with the meats. The sides were good as well. The potato salad good mac and cheese was a white cheese and creamy like I like it. Cream corn lived up to the name,thumbs up. Pickles seemed to be home made and were sweet.We plan on coming back for breakfast tacos.we're so jealous of those who live in the area. You have a gem!

Having tried a decent bit of BBQ all around Austin, I think I can safely say that this place has the best for which you don't need to WAIT forever! This may be a silly distinction to make, but talking with friends and coworkers about places like Franklin's, La BBQ, and Salt Lick when you're already hungry is pretty frustrating since we agree they are very good but they require at least a small amount of planning ahead or willingness to wait a long while! That being said, really liked the ribs and brisket here since they were very moist and flavorful. The brisket seemed to come sliced such that it had a fatty side and a lean side, which worked out well, and the bbq sauce had a slight spiciness to it as well which makes it a bit more unique than the standard sweet-only BBQ sauce. Overall solid place

Great experience all around! Friendly staff, excellent sides and superb BBQ. I had some burnt ends and baby back ribs. The burnt ends had a great smoke ring throughout and the cut of meat was unbelievably lean and perfectly cooked. Great pepper rub and bark too. The baby back ribs we're also incredible. Tender and juicy without completely falling apart. You can tell this place starts with quality meats and then carefully elevates them to an even higher level. Even the sides are a step above. The pickles are delicious, crispy, bread and butter pickles. In addition, the onions are nicely pickled and not too sweet. A side of pickled jalapenos cauliflower and carrots also come standard with your order. In addition to all that I wanted to try their highly-acclaimed collard greens. I have never been a fan of collard greens but let me tell you I am now. Lots of garlic, huge chunks of celery, and a broth that I swear could cure whatever ails you.
