Stubb's Bar-B-Q Restaurant   

There's nothing short-sighted about this downtown hot spot. Known for its savory hickory-smoked meats and accompanying side treats, such as tater salad, slaw, pepper cheese spinach and collard greens, Stubb's is also known as an indoor and outdoor music venue. The historic brick building, wooden seating, hardwood floors and dimmed interior radiate a saloon feel. The Sunday Gospel Brunch is a buffet of barbecue and breakfast favorites, complete with soulful tunes and local singers -- a truly unique way to spend a Sunday morning. The turkey, smoked chicken and Angus beef don't disappoint. Kick up your heels, grab a cold one and feast on some of Austin's finest. -- Kelly Lee
