The best barbecue in Austin!  5 Star Rating - World class

County Line On The Hill has some of the best barbecue I've ever had. The brisket is perfectly tender and the taste is so good that barbecue sauce isn't even needed (though the sauce is outstanding as well). The sides are also great and the bread pudding for dessert is a must-order. After dinner, stroll out to the patio for a killer view of Austin.

PROS: Food and view
CONS: Long wait at times

It was alright...good to go to now and then ...sure! 4 Star Rating - Very good

Good food. A tad bit expensive for a family with children...but I would go again. Nice atmosphere. Good place to bring out of town visitors

Excellent sandwich bread 4 Star Rating - Very good

Visited with some friends early afternoon. No crowd, so I really can't comment on service if/when things get hectic.

Ordered a brisket sandwich with coleslaw side. The bread for the sandwich was excellent, perfect density and melded well with the (slightly overcooked) brisket. Coleslaw was too mayonaissey, too much fat takes away from the taste of the brisket, which should dominate the meal. Drinks served in ENORMOUS glasses.

Service was good. Overall, it seems somewhat overrated, but is is clean, big and the setting on the river is very beautiful. You could do much worse...

Pros: Lovely location
Cons: Slight inattention to food quality

GOOD FOOD - needs organization 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

Good, not too spicy, a little undercooked, but delicious. I've been cooking for awhile professionally and I'll eat here again. MY big critique is that we had to deal with 2 different people to order booze and to order food. That's gotta stop......

Pros: first time
Cons: first time

Recommended, but Busters is better 4 Star Rating - Very good

Good view, ok food. Brisket was nothing special, sides either. Service was solid though. Looking ofr the best check out Busters just west of Lakeway, it's much better if you can stand the outdated decor.

Pros: View, service
Cons: just average bbq
