It's been a minute since I have sung the praises of Opie's Barbecue out in Spicewood, about 40 minutes southwest of Austin. Why go stand in line at a well-known place in town for 4+ hours when you can take a nice drive instead?

| The meat "coffin" is right inside the door; the meats are smoked adjacent to the main building. In addition to your Texas standards (brisket, beef + pork ribs, sausage), they have turkey, chicken, pork chops, and sometimes specials like prime rib. |
 |
| The massive beef rib was my friend's, and the rest is mine (pork ribs, jalapeno sausage and brisket)! I always get food for at least 3 meals! |
 |
| If you are into butterbeans, you will die for Opie's! Friday, Saturday + Sundays only. Do not miss out on these! |
 |
| Not only are the butterbeans killer, the tater tot casserole and zesty corn are delicious too! |
And they are super-nice people too! Opie's is on Hwy 71, right by the turn to Krause Springs in the Texas Hill Country.
