"Seems that San Antonio is the dividing line between Oak/Hickory smoked (north) and Mesquite smoked (south) BBQ. If you're used to Mesquite all of the other seem a little bland. While Opie's is in the former category, the pork, beef and chicken are tender, seasoned well and as good as any around the ..."Austin/Lano area. If you like pinto beans, you'll love this place cuz it's all you can eat with a big pot in the middle of the restaruant. You can pick your own selection of meat and you pay by the weight. Prices are on the higher side compared to say, Rudys, Salt Lick or Coopers. The sauces are tasty but a little wattery without much "bite" to them - doesn't compare to Rudy's. The cole slaw is pretty good, but the cobblers are excellent. Like Salt Lick, you have to travel a bit to get here no matter where you live - and I'd say it's worth the trip if you're w/in an hour of it, otherwise, plan a stop if you're driving by. It's open 7 days/week.

"From the moment you walk in, this place exudes authenticity. Choose your cut of meat from the pit, select sides (be sure and get the cobbler with a scoop of Blue Bell Ice Cream) then ladle up some butter beans from a huge stock pot. Top it off with pickles, onions and slices of bread all served on..." butcher paper. It's not fancy but it is as good as Texas BBQ gets. Lots of locals eating here.

"We were recommended to stop by Opie's and we weren't disapointed. We had the brisket, ribs and jalapeno cheese sausage. All excellent but OMG the sides - spicy corn, cranberry cole slaw, and tatertot cassorole! So good!"
