      Joe, I hope this is not to late.  The County Line is not even "good".  It
      is there for the tourists and yuppies.
      For pure atmosphere the Salt Lick is hard to beat.  The food is not the
      best but is good and MUCH better than the County Line. You will need to
      bring your own beer, part of the fun though.  Coolers are always welcome there.
      The Iron Works in downtown Austin has a very good reputation but I haven't
      eaten there.
      RailRoad Barbecue in Kyle, south of Austin on 35 is not bad.
      Blacks Barbecue in Lockhart, south of Austin on 183 is very good.
      Some of the best are the small family owned joints.  One I can
      recommend is Don's on Manor Road.  East of 183 just past the turn for
      the Travis County heritage center.  Don't let the outside fool you.  At lunch
      time you stand in line to get in.

      Many of these do not sell beer. Don's for instance.  So if that is necessary
      call ahead.  Good luck, there are many barbecue joints here I am sure you
      can get your fill.
