Uncle Billy's Brewery Smokehouse

This place is great. I run the Lone Star School of Music and they leave our students on stage all summer. You make good food and the staff is super friendly. You are a dog and a child friendly. Also the best place to stop before you go to Zilker Park.

I've been here a dozen times, but I won't be back after my last experience. I have always said that the beer is good and the service is hit-or-miss, but the last time I was there, my group and I were disturbed to hear a man at a nearby table, with racial blows loud and repeated. I asked him to stop and he rolled his eyes and said: Yes, sure. When I sat down, he started using racial sluts. We sat about 30-40 feet away, so the man didn't speak quietly. My sister told the bartender about it and he said, "Okay, I'm gonna knock her around and laugh. He didn't ask what we complained about. We immediately left because it was clear that the bartender had no intention of asking the cartridge to use the language he used. None of us will be back.

We stayed here on a beer tour and loved everything we tried. Your beer is so delicious! They brew on site and apparently found out. Nice apartment too. I love the shaded outdoor seats with fans and sisters.

Uncle Billy's is an Central Austin treasure. The atmosphere here carries the day but a close second is their amazing and innovative beer selection which is brewed in house. The BBQ is good to Texas style BBQ with a bit of a flare in unique dishes like nachos, burgers, salads, and of course by the pound. All in all its an Austin gem close to zilker park, downtown, and South Lamar. That being said... the desert is pretty much worthless. Ordered peach cobbler and buttermilk pie. They were put of buttermilk pie so we settled for the cobbler. They then told us they were out of the ice cream it comes with. We accepted that and got it to go. We got to the car and realized it was only peach soup. Took it back and they fixed it but upon arrival to the house it was little better. Has some granola type crumbles on top as seen in the picture but it's really just peach soup with canned peaches and half a natures valley bar crumbled on top. Guys please fix this! It's like having bad sweet tea; you just can't because it's Texas. If you need an example walk over to Terry Black's where they have cobbler that is more than edible. Let me know when I can delete this part of the review because you guys deserve 5 stars!
