The Boys BBQ Reviews Pops, Wambam, and the Twins: A Texas family chasing great BBQ, one tray at a time.

Pops and Matt finish off the tray at Parish BBQ, and man… this one went out STRONG. 🔥

The muffuletta was a killer sandwich — crispy, fluffy bread, rich meat, and those olives cutting through everything perfectly. Pops even said it was better than Jason’s Deli. 😂

The pulled duck was another hit. Tender, rich, crispy skin, and that rendered fat brought everything together.

But the real side-showstopper? The crawfish cornbread dressing. Legit one of the best sides we’ve had. Classic cornbread dressing meets full-on Cajun flavor and it WORKS. 👀

Then the pimento mac and cheese came through creamy, perfectly cooked, and finished the tray off right.

Parish absolutely delivered. If you’re in Austin, go see them. 🔥

Pops and Matt keep working their way through the tray at Parish BBQ, and this one just keeps getting more interesting. 🔥

The Jalapeño Cheese Sausage came loaded with creamy cheese and just enough heat to balance it out.

Then came the pistolettes — something Matt has literally been dreaming about for a year. 😂 Served with that Honey Cajun Butter, they made for such a unique and ridiculously good bread option at a BBQ spot.

And then came the Blackberry Glazed Beef Belly… rich, fatty, and absolutely delicious. The glaze actually surprised us too — we expected something sweeter, but that tart blackberry flavor cut through all that richness perfectly.

Parish continues to impress. 👀🔥

Pops and Matt dig into the tray at Parish BBQ with their good buddy Quintin and, of course, they start with the brisket and ribs. 🔥

The brisket was a really solid start to the tray. Nothing wild or revolutionary — just a good, well-executed slice of Texas BBQ.

Then came the ribs, and that’s where things started getting a little more interesting. Tender, smoky, and packed with flavor, but Pops kept picking up on something he couldn’t quite put his finger on…

Old Bay maybe? 👀😂

Either way, a solid start to the tray at Parish. Stay tuned as we keep working our way through it!

Next up on the Austin trip: Parish BBQ 🔥

While Jason and Cody made their way to Mums, Pops and Matt linked up with Quintin and headed over to Parish.

Holden and the crew put together an impressive spread of Texas BBQ with their own Cajun flair, and this tray definitely had our attention from the jump. 👀

Stay tuned this week for The Boys’ reactions as we work our way through it!

The Boys finish up the tray at InterStellar BBQ, and this one absolutely lived up to the name by the end. 🚀🔥

Up next was the Green Curry Chicken, sausage, and smoked duck — and somehow every bite kept getting better.

The Green Curry Chicken had us seriously talking about where it ranks among the best chicken dishes we’ve had. Tender, savory, smoky, spicy, and sweet all working together in one bite. Definitely one we won’t forget anytime soon. 👀

And then came the smoked duck…

This thing was a revelation. Easily the best duck we’ve ever had, and honestly, it wasn’t even close. Rich and fatty, crispy skin, tender juicy meat — just an incredible bite from start to finish. 🤯🔥

InterStellar didn’t exactly start strong for us… but man, did they finish strong.

Jason took The Boys back on the road and found something SPECIAL at Space Kat BBQ. 🔥🐈‍⬛

This tray delivered from top to bottom.

The sides were way above average — creamy mac topped with a crispy chicken skin crumble, plus ranch-style beans with the perfect little kick of spice. Both were standouts in their own right.

The tri-tip was some of the juiciest and most tender Jason has ever had, with the flavor to match.

Then came the coppa… basically the best version of a pork steak you could ask for. Soft like pulled pork, but with that rich, fatty flavor you’d expect from pork belly. 🤯

But the star of the show?

The chicken thighs. Crispy skin, incredibly tender meat, juicy, smoky, and loaded with that charcoal flavor. Sometimes the simplest bite ends up being the one you remember most.

Space Kat absolutely showed out. 👀🔥

The Boys keep working their way through the InterStellar BBQ tray, and the theme of this visit is becoming pretty clear… every bite keeps taking us up another notch. 🚀🔥

Next up was the Peach Tea Glazed Pork Belly, Pork Spare Ribs, and Pulled Lamb Shoulder.

The pork belly was good, but for us, it didn’t quite live up to the hype. Still a solid bite — just not one that turned our heads.

The spare ribs were a different story. Great cook, very tender, and we really enjoyed the peppery, herby flavor running through them.

Then came the pulled lamb shoulder… and THAT got everybody talking. Juicy, tender, buttery as hell, and already one of the strongest bites on the tray. Then Cody paired it with the mustard sauce and somehow took it to another level. 🤯

And that’s becoming the story of this InterStellar tray — the deeper we get into it, the better it gets.

Stay tuned. We’ve still got more reactions coming. 👀🔥

The Boys finally dig into the tray at InterStellar BBQ, starting with the brisket. 🚀🔥

Unfortunately, this one didn’t give us the experience we were hoping for. The point was nicely rendered, juicy, and flavorful, but the flat was extremely dry and honestly difficult to eat.

We hate being that harsh, especially at a place we’ve looked forward to visiting for so long, but we always want to be honest about the bite we were served.

The good news? This tray gets lightyears better the deeper we get into it. 👀

Stay tuned for the rest of our InterStellar reactions!

Matt and Pops kept the Que rolling at Bubby’s BBQ with the ribs and turkey. 🔥🍖

The ribs were FALL-off-the-bone tender — exactly how Matt likes ’em. Eat your heart out, Ben. 😂 These might just be the highlight of the whole tray… but we’re not calling it yet. 👀

The turkey was solid too — tender, juicy, and a nice change of pace between all that rich BBQ.

Bubby’s keeps delivering. Stay tuned to see if those ribs hold onto the top spot! 🔥
