Hill Country honors the barbecue and live music capital of Texas and takes its "cue" from the legendary meat-markets-turned-barbecue-joints of Central Texas with their distinctive, dry-rub style. All barbecue is cooked fresh daily on premise in our custom meat-smoking room. Our brisket, sausage, ribs and other meats are smoked low and slow over Texas post oak and are served on butcher paper, counter-style by the pound as is traditional in Central Texas.. Updated versions of classic Southern sides and sweets include Longhorn Cheddar Mac & Cheese and Peanut Butter & Jelly Cupcakes. Hill Country Barbecue features a marketplace full of Lone Star State favorites such as Kreuz Market sausage, Big Red soda, and Blue Bell ice cream. Our bar offers a wide selection of longneck beers, tequila, bourbon, and specialty cocktails as well as live American Roots Music in our legendary Boot Bar most nights of the week.
Hill Country Chicken is inspired by its founder’s childhood memories and his passion for the Texas-style home cooking of his mother and grandmothers, Betty and Momma Els - hearty, crave-able comfort food served lovingly, casually and unpretentiously by people with big smiles on their faces.
Hill Country Barbecue Market was named “Top 10 New Restaurants of the Year” by NY Magazine and awarded TWO STARS by the NEW YORK TIMES. Hill Country Chicken (NYC, Brooklyn) has been featured on “Unique Eats” and “Best Thing I Ever Ate"
