KG BBQ

I was rushing to the airport so after waiting in the line I had to take my BBQ to go and fly home with it before enjoying! I put it in the oven on low heat for a few minutes just to bring it back up to temp. The ribs were magnificent and the sumac onions/green medley accompaniments added a beautiful depth of flavor to both the brisket and the ribs. The Egyptian flavors pair beautifully with Texas BBQ, highly recommmended!

The best barbecue Iv ever had in my life ! The meat was so tender and the sausage was memorable. The potato salad is a must try and the tea is so refreshing! Will be going back to try more soon. Highly recommend!

KG Barbecue exceeded expectations! The pomegranate-glazed pork ribs were the best I’ve ever tasted. The Egyptian cowboy bowl, featuring lamb and mac & cheese, was a standout, and the pink buttermilk potato salad was delightful. The Mediterranean rice? Absolutely phenomenal. Conveniently located near my son’s place, but sadly, I don’t live in Austin. I’ll be back next visit, no question!

Egyptian BBQ is an interesting take on BBQ. The pomegranate pork ribs were very flavorful. The sausage was also a bit different but tasty. Definitely save room for the cardamom rice pudding. So good I went back for seconds. Their service was unbelievably quick. I paid and they handed me a pager. I stepped off the platform and the pager went off. Way fast.

What an incredibly special take on traditional Texas BBQ. You can taste the blend of grassroots BBQ blended with the owners home culture from Egypt. I am very grateful that I got to experience and taste this unique mixture. I hope he is able to move into a brick and mortar restaurant one day.

We finally made it to KG, and it did not disappoint! The service was excellent—staff were friendly, attentive, and happy to answer any questions we had. The atmosphere was great too. The food truck shares an indoor/outdoor space with a brewery that offers plenty of seating. We chose to sit outside since the weather was beautiful. The only downside was the number of flies, which got pretty annoying. It would be a nice touch if they offered fly fans to help keep them away. That said, the wall-mounted rotating fans kept us cool, even though it wasn’t an especially hot day. Now onto the best part—the food! We tried the lamb chops, brisket, pork ribs, and a cup of every side they offer. The lamb chops were the clear winner: perfectly cooked and incredibly well-seasoned. Next up were the pork ribs, which had a unique pomegranate flavor—something I’ve never tasted with ribs before, and now I don’t want them any other way. We were asked if we wanted our brisket juicy or lean. We went with lean, but in hindsight, we should’ve chosen juicy. It was flavorful and smoky but a little on the dry side. Oh - and the BBQ sauce was delicious! I could drink it. As for the sides, the rice and potato salad were the standouts, followed by the cucumber salad. The mac and cheese ranked last for me—not because of the flavor (the cheese sauce was tasty), but because it was made with shell pasta, which I personally don’t enjoy due to the texture. Drink-wise, KG only offers tea and an iced coffee-style drink. Luckily, the brewery next door has water, soda, and beer, which worked out perfectly for us. Overall, KG was delicious! The owner is clearly a creative genius for merging Egyptian flavors with BBQ. I can't wait to come back the next time we’re in Austin!

Everything we tried was great! A burst of flavors. The line was really long but they move fast. They got our order wrong. We asked for .5lb of lamb chomps and 1lb brisket, they mixed it up. We didn't notice until we got our order. It would be a good idea for the cashier to read back the order. This is about $180 worth of BBQ for two people but we had left overs for a few meals. We will definitely be back.

Lamb Bacon Ribs, Lamb Chops and Pork ribs were our choices. We also got the Mediterranean Rice and Egyptian Salad for sides. Every bit of it was fantastic. The spices were on point and the chimichurri was killer!! Do your self a favor and stop here, you won’t regret it. Just to think this guy traveled half way around the world with a dream and created this, is quite amazing! Great work!
