Pok-e-Jo's Smokehouse
Round Rock, United States
The chain started in Austin more than four decades ago and has since spread across Central Texas. This location sits just off the interstate in Round Rock, open daily from eleven to eight — a steady option when the craving hits. Texas barbecue, no surprises. The sort of place that does what it's always done and doesn't ask for applause.
Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q
Round Rock, United States
The Round Rock Rudy's, at 2400 North IH-35, runs the same oak-fired barbecue and country-store stock as the rest of the chain — brisket, ribs and sausage by the pound over butcher paper. It began as a 1929 Leon Springs filling station that took up barbecue in 1989. Open early, later on weekends; come hungry.
The Salt Lick BBQ
Round Rock, United States
The Salt Lick, going since 1967, brought its Hill Country barbecue — meat seared then finished low over coals — to this Round Rock outpost on East Palm Valley Boulevard. Open daily 11 to 9. Come for the barbecue; the rest takes care of itself.
