Brotherton's Black Iron Barbecue

"This is some top level barbecue. It's nice to have this place right in Pflugerville. I eat a lot of brisket and theirs is right up there with the best of them. Great sides as well. The Asian cucumber salad is phenomenal. I also enjoyed the potato salad and the tater tot casserole. I highly recommend this place."

"Brisket (7/10): Phenomenal bark. It was tough and chewy but in a good way. Made masticating the brisket an enjoyable experience by contrasting with the tender interior. Would’ve liked a little more salt though. It also felt a touch too dry. Side (10/10): The corn casserole was a delight. It reminded me of what I usually get at stiles switch, but I felt something else going on. I think there were finely chopped bell peppers that added an interesting dimension to the flavor profile. Gave me something to think about by not being your classic good ole casserole. Onions (6/10): The onions were pretty awful. Too many of the “slices” were too thin, they didn’t have any “juice” Decor & vibe (10/10): I respect the homage to the great bbq establishments of Texas like kreuz market and snow’s. It also felt like the spot was operated by a tight group of friends that all knew each other really well. ——@eddythefoodcritic"

"I got a 3-meat plate with brisket boudin sausage, pork ribs, sauced chopped brisket, wasabi coleslaw and tater tot casserole as well as an order of loaded nachos. All of it was fantastic! I think the boudin sausage and tater tot casserole were probably my favorite, but it's tough to pick as everything was so good. Their spicy bbq sauce is pretty hot, which I liked as well. Can't believe there wasn't much of a wait when I showed up for lunch at 11:15 am on a Friday morning. Highly recommend this place."

"Great place to spend time with friends and family. The selection of food is pretty good at a pretty reasonable price. I had the brisket and turkey, I highly recommend them though they were on the salty side. The pickles and cornbread casserole as sides were phenomenal. TVs had football on to watch as I enjoyed my food."

"A well deserved title of being in Texas Monthly's Top 50 BBQ joints. Friendly staff while ordering. Anytime I venture to a new BBQ place I opt for the brisket and sausage. Brisket had a real nice bark. Seasoning was on point. The jalapeno cheddar sausage was possibly the best one I've had. The clumps of cheddar was unique as other places use smaller crumb-sized pieces. My buddy had the brisket and pork ribs. He loved the ribs so much that he ordered another set as we left for dinner that evening. A good choice of sides and a few you typically don't see at other BBQ establishments. The Mac and cheese caught my eye and also had a nice kick to it. Pricing was about market average right now."
