Green Mesquite is Austin's own local BBQ and bluegrass headquarters. They feature local bluegrass and country rock names and also some national stars. The Green Mesquite is located on Barton Springs road right next to P. Terry's, another great Austin restaurant.When the people think of the Green Mesquite they think of Sholtz's Garden, Hogan's Heroes, dogs and kats, live music, great food, and great brewing. The County Line is known for having a pristine location on the lake out in the Hill Country. Everyday The County Line throws a couple racks of ribs on the smoker in preparation for the lunch and dinner crowds. The County Line is known for their BBQ, while the Green Mesquite is known for their Bluegrass music and artists.
When Mr. Hammondeggs and I visited the Green Mesquite around lunch time the UT fans were getting their fill of great Texas BBQ before heading to the game. When we walked in we immediately felt the bluegrass and country rock feel with the wooden floors and oak tables. We ordered the got 2 meat plate with sausage and ribs along with corn, pickles, beans, and bread.
I would give the Green Mesquite an A- and the County Line an A+.
