The hushpuppies were tasty but way over done. Almost burnt. The brisket and ribs were tender and tasty. The coleslaw lacked dressing and was bland. The beans had lots of flavor. No lemon for the tea. The server was nice and gave us good service.

About The Green Mesquite
What's in a name? When it comes to Green Mesquite BBQ & More, pretty much everything. As one of its gift-shop T-shirts will tell you, the restaurant has been "horrifying vegetarians since 1988," and that enduring success can largely be attributed to what's inside the barbecue pit: log after log of green mesquite wood.
Owner Tom Davis opts for that particular fresh-cut variety because of its slow-burning property, and because it gives meat a bold and smoky flavor. Davis and his team cook everything from beef and pork to chicken and turkey over the wood. They also make their own barbecue sauce and a signature rub for their baby back ribs, which Diners, Drive-Ins, and Diveshost Guy Fieri called "awesome."
It's not just the smoked meats that distinguish Green Mesquite's three Austin-area locations. It's also that the restaurants double as venues for live music—specifically of the bluegrass and country variety.
