Archie's BBQ
East 12th smoke that runs on regulars' time
Archie's BBQ is a barbecue restaurant in Austin, TX. Listed categories include restaurant.
Archie's holds down a working stretch of East 12th Street, a counter operation that has fed the neighborhood without chasing the pilgrimage crowds pulled east by the marquee trailers. It runs on a short menu and a longer memory: the regulars order first, the smoke does the talking, and nobody pretends the room is anything other than a place to eat barbecue.
The brisket carries a proper salt-and-pepper crust and a soft edge of oak, sliced to order and stacked into a chopped beef sandwich that is the move at lunch. Pork ribs pull with a gentle tug rather than falling apart, and the smoked sausage snaps into a coarse, peppery link. Sauce sits on the side, an accent rather than a crutch, the way East Austin has always liked it.
