Open Friday-Sunday, JNL is located in East Austin and is my personal favorite BBQ in Texas. The owner has gained his experience and repertoire from cooking over 110,000 briskets at the popular Franklin's BBQ. While I personally think Austin has many "good" dining options, I have not had any "outstanding" except for JNL. Additionally, you can grab a beer or coffee on the same property at the Buzz Mill
