South Austin · Est. Tradition

Real smoke.
Real flavor.
Nothing in between.

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.

Chef preparing barbecue in the smoker

Smoke is the ingredient that time won't rush.

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.

More than a meal.
A moment to slow down.

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.

Low & Slow

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.

Warm Atmosphere

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.

Craft Drinks

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.

"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."
