Scotty's BBQ
The Rainey Street district's honest smokehouse
Scotty's BBQ is a barbecue restaurant in Austin, TX. Listed categories include fast food, restaurant.
Scotty's brings a proper smokehouse to the Rainey Street district, a stretch of Austin better known for bungalow cocktail bars than for serious smoke. That makes it the rare Rainey-area spot that treats barbecue as the main event rather than late-night filler, serving a crowd that came to drink but stayed to eat.
The brisket anchors the board, cooked with a peppery bark and honest oak smoke, and the pork ribs come tender off the pit. Smoked turkey stays moist for a cut that punishes shortcuts, and the smoked sausage snaps. The counter runs late into the district's night, which is part of the appeal — real Central Texas barbecue available at an hour when most pits have long since sold out. It is smoke with staying power in a neighborhood built for the after-hours.
