When I'm trying new barbecue, I always try to find that good thing to say. But sometimes, the best I can do is say, 'Well, they've got good rolls' or 'They got good ice tea.' Anyone in the know will understand what that means.

More Austin Q News - JR's Corner Bar-B-Que is from the old school

Posted Wed, 07/07/2010 - 02:00 by cflynn

This place is 3 blocks from my old house and 10 from my new one. Went there today. Sausage was superb. Brisket above average. Ribs average - probably because he re-warms them (see comment in story). I actually had a conversation with the owner several months back while he was renovating. Definitely the kind of old school guy we like. I will just have to ignore [censored by editor] his offspring (again, see story).

dbarrow's Review of Q Barbeque‎

Posted Mon, 06/07/2010 - 15:00 by dbarrow
Weighted Overall
7.9

Main Fare:

  • Ribs - fully rendered almost fall off the bone tenderness with a good balanced rub and marinade. These ribs are done to perfection but for my liking could use a bit more rub.
  • Pulled pork - nicely balanced between meat and sauce. Very nice!
  • Brisket - basically served like chopped beef covered in a light sauce. Nicely smoked and good flavor but I prefer my brisket stand up/sliced.

Other Fare:

MAIN FARE

  • Spare Rib - Best texture so far.  Good exterior texture, and the meat inside is fully rendered. Not oily or juicy, but moist and good.  Delicious! 
  • Brisket - Although it is chopped and lightly sauced, the flavor of the beef comes shining through.  Actually, the application is more like a "dip" than a sauce, and just moistens and enhances the meat.

ssweeney's Review of Ronnies Ribs

Posted Mon, 06/07/2010 - 14:53 by ssweeney
Weighted Overall
4.9

MAIN FARE

  • Spare Rib - Good.  Chunky bits come off together.  These are big ribs, and are not fully rendered on the meaty ends.
  • Brisket - Nice thick slices.  Good spice in the rub. Meat is tender any juicy, although a little "pot-roasty" due to being held warm.  Best sliced brisket we have found in Richmond.
  • Pulled Pork - North Carolina style. Served with a generous amount of dip.  The meat seems to need the dip, as I find some pieces seem a bit dry (even when wet).

Weighted Overall
3.1

Main Fare:

  • Ribs - lighter fluid taste - can't eat.
  • Brisket - pretty tough but I think I had the best ones of the bunch. Medium thickness of slice, subpar product.
  • Pulled Pork - best product served here, but still not great.

Other Fare:

Weighted Overall
4.6

Main Fare:

  • Brisket - nice thick cut, good accordion style and very tender. Best VA brisket around. Could be star anise in the rub and/or marinade adds nice flavor.
  • Pulled Pork - true eastern NC style with lots of vinegar and red pepper.
  • Ribs - tough meat with fat not fully rendered. Good spicey rub.

Other Fare:

  • Potato Salad - standard fare
  • Cole Slaw - nasty thick cut mush
  • Baked Beans - better taste then it looks but nothing special
