Slow-fired brisket, hand-rubbed ribs, and sides made from scratch — served the way Texas barbecue was meant to be, right here on Manchaca Road.
Pedro's BBQ was born from a simple conviction: that the best barbecue doesn't need shortcuts. Every cut is dry-rubbed, every brisket is trimmed by hand, and every cook runs its full course — 12 hours for brisket, 10 for ribs, however long it takes to get it right.
Located on Manchaca Road in South Austin, we've built a space where the smell of post oak smoke is the first welcome, and every plate tells the story of patience, craft, and a genuine love for what we do.

From the first whiff of smoke to the last bite of cornbread, everything at Pedro's is designed around one thing — making you feel at home.
Every cut earns its place through time. We don't speed up the process — we let the smoke, the heat, and the rub do what they do best.
Rustic wood, low lighting, the sound of good conversation. Our dining room is built for gatherings — whether it's a family dinner or a Friday night out.
Local Texas beers on tap, a curated cocktail list, and a full bar. Every drink is crafted to stand on its own — or pair perfectly with your plate.
Don't take our word for it — hear from the people who keep coming back.
"The brisket here is the real deal — smoky, tender, with a bark that just hits different. Best barbecue I've had in Austin, and I've tried most of it."
"We came for the ribs and stayed for the mac and cheese. The whole place has this warm, unpretentious vibe. Felt like eating at someone's kitchen table — the good kind."
"Finally a spot on the south side that gets it right. The sausage is incredible — you can tell it's made in-house. And the cocktails are surprisingly sharp for a BBQ joint."
We're right here in South Austin, easy to find and always ready to seat you. Walk-ins are welcome, but a call ahead never hurts when the crowd's out.
