BBQ Fiends
The Hutto trailer that crashed the Texas Monthly Top 50
BBQ Fiends is a barbecue restaurant in Austin, Texas.
BBQ Fiends works out of a trailer in Hutto, well northeast of the Austin crowds, and in 2025 it did the thing every small-town pit dreams of: it landed on Texas Monthly's Top 50 Best BBQ Joints list. That recognition put a spotlight on an operation that had been quietly cooking serious Central Texas barbecue for people willing to drive out for it.
The cook here is the classic Central Texas program done with real discipline — brisket with a dark, rendered bark and a clean smoke ring, pork ribs with a proper bite, and coarse-ground sausage links. The hours lean toward weekends and the meat runs on a first-come basis, so a late arrival is a gamble. Come early, order across the board, and taste why the state started paying attention to a Hutto parking lot.
