Our server Bree! Amazing! let’s start with that she was so nice and fast! But, the food ? …the potato salad had raw potatoes couldn’t even eat it, coleslaw and Mac was good. Weirdest beans I’ve ever had haha. The brisket was delicious! I think they use a microwave for items some was hot in the middle cold on the edges. Has a lot of potential to be really great if they stop being lazy.

The smoked turkey was so juicy and tender and the ribs were fall off the bone! The special they have is a great deal! We got all of this food for under $30! Great happy hour deals too!

Really good service. Very friendly and professional. Food was well prepared and favorable. Had our preteen granddaughters with us, and they enjoyed their meals a lot.Dietary restrictions: We shared our allergy issues, and all meals were free of issues.Kid-friendliness: They have a small game area that we enjoyed.

As a former Austin Texas resident, I can confirm, this is the real deal! The brisket does not disappoint, ask for the fatty cut, it’s delicious! The banana pudding is also really tasty. The only difference between this bbq place and others in Austin is that both the bbq AND the sides are awesome. Typically, it was either good meat or good sides but this place has both. The atmosphere is laid back but clean and the staff are always super friendly and accommodating, especially Bree. I definitely recommend hitting up this hidden gem!

Party of 5 sat at a table ... Had special drinks for Sat ... Best meat was the Brisket ... Everything else was real good but the Brisket was beyond compare. Dessert was awesome, had the bread pudding. Everything was commendable but a bit pricey for BBQ and I noticed a 5% additional fee added to the bill because of the increase in minimum wage and I reduced the tip accordingly ....

Great service and food was amazing. My wife and I shared the 2 meat plate and it was enough for us and enough to bring home for leftovers. Highly recommend this place!

The restaurant was so so. Not very clean.Lack of appropriate silverware.Service was ok.Food was not good.Mac n cheese was dry, wings were ok, brisket was awful, I should have ordered a plate of fat.. the chef should not have put that on a plate, I would be embarrassed if I served the brisket to anyone, I certainly did not get a doggie bag.?
Five stars across the board!!Joe & Cam are the bartenders in America.Katrina & Galin are by far my two favorite servers ever and somehow the food tastes even better they're around.I love Pioneer BBQ and will make it my regular Saturday night stop.PS - Make sure to come in Saturday nights around 8pm for their trivia nights. SO FUN!!! If you love good food, great drinks, and a lot of fun make sure to come to the Pioneer BBQ!

Bree was our waitress and she was amazing, we were nervous as this was our first dinner out with our 9 month old and she was so kind. She even made us feel reassured as she had a child of her own.Besides Bree being amazing, the food was amazing! Large portions, and great happy hour deals.The atmosphere is clean, cozy, and the ambiance is so great.Can’t wait to come back!
