Tips:
  • Once you get your meal ticket, load up your tray at the meat, side, and dessert stations, and then find an open table. Note: If you lose your ticket, you'll be paying a hefty minimum charge.
  • Blue Bell, a beloved, hard-to-find Texas ice cream, is available for $4 a cup.
  • Bands play regularly on the downstairs stage--call ahead for the schedule.
  • The restaurant was based on barbecue mecca Kruez Market in Lockhart, Texas.
  • Drinks can be ordered at the drink station, or you can order them from the waiter who comes to your table after you've sat down. Agave-enhanced margaritas ($10) are a tart kick in the pants, though cold Coronas ($6) don't quite make up for the lack of draught beer.

From OpenTable: 

Named "Best Barbecue in NY" by both New York Magazine and Time Out New York, "Top 10 Barbecue in the U.S." by the Wall Street Journal and "Best New Restaurants of the Year" by New York Magazine, Hill Country takes its "cue" from legendary Texas barbecue joint Kreuz Market and its distinctive dry-rub style. Hill Country's brisket, sausage, ribs and other meats are smoked low and slow over Texas post oak. The barbecue is served in butcher paper, counter-style by the pound, with traditional trimmings. Hill Country features two full bars with an extensive menu of long neck beers, tequila and bourbon, and a state-of-the-art sound system and stage for live music celebrating the thriving Austin music scene. Signature versions of classic southern sides and sweets include Longhorn Cheddar Mac & Cheese, Campfire Baked Beans with Burnt Ends, and the Original PB&J Cupcake. A marketplace full of Lone Star State favorites includes: Big Red Soda, Blue Bell Ice Cream, Kreuz Market Sausages.

So good...

As a Texan, I may be shot for saying this, but the barbecue at Hill Country rivals the best in Texas. They ship the wood as well as sausages and specialty items such as Big Red and Bluebell Ice Cream (you Texans know what I’m talking about!) straight from the Lone Star State, and although the entire placed can get a little over the top kitschy, it still is a nice reminder of home. (UT games played here too!) If you come on the weekends, don’t miss out on the smoked beef short rib, and the brisket moist is to die for. Really…all of it is just so good. You can’t go wrong! Just don’t lose your ticket!

This is the best barbeque in NYC. It's best...

This is the best barbeque in NYC. It’s best to go around 3:30pm on a weekday to avoid the crowds. They ship Texas post oak wood in from Texas. The ‘brisket moist’ is phenomenal.

Mediocre at best

The pitmaster special left me wanting more BBQ, the food was not worth the calories. I love eating, but if it isn't good, it isn't worth it. The mac n cheese was dry, the white bread reminds me of wonder bread, the chicken was ok, the…

Great food!

I love going to this place but I have noticed a few things after repeated visits. Some hosts/hostesses always have the warmest smiles and the others always look miserable. Same goes for the bartenders. I won't sit and eat at the bar if…

Costs add up quickly depending on what you order

Came here for lunch recently. The meat by the pound was expensive, I thought. The brisket was tender and moist. We also ordered the bbq beef sandwich special which comes with choice of sides and drink. It was more than enough for lunch.…
