Bee Caves B-B-Q is a barbecue restaurant in Austin, TX. Listed categories include barbecue, restaurant.

Bee Caves B-B-Q sits out on Bee Cave Road, carrying a name that traces back to the Schmidt family — one of the deepest lineages in Central Texas barbecue. That heritage shows up in the plainest, best way: counter service, meat by the pound, and a cook that trusts salt, pepper, and smoke to do the work on far West Austin's behalf.

The brisket is the centerpiece, sliced to order with a firm bark and a fatty option worth requesting. Beef ribs come up big and beefy when they're on, pork ribs round out the board, and the house-made sausage leans on family recipes rather than a distributor's case. The sides case reads like a Sunday table, and the whole thing runs on a weekday lunch rhythm that suits the neighborhood it feeds.
