Green Mesquite is the old Austin barbecue stop just west of South Lamar on Barton Springs Road. Its smoked meats and tree-covered patio put it on the Zilker side of the restaurant strip.

The Barton Springs Road barbecue stop

The restaurant dates its barbecue business to 1988. It sits at 1400 Barton Springs Road, farther west toward Zilker than Terry Black’s. It is a useful stop for someone who remembers the older restaurant strip around South Lamar and Barton Springs.

A broader barbecue meal near the park

The restaurant describes Texas-style brisket and ribs, and its current site also highlights smoked wings. Its contact page describes a tree-covered patio. This is the Barton Springs location; older references to another Green Mesquite branch should not be used for this address.

A recent sign of life

An October 10, 2026 Madisons show was listed at this exact address. We checked that dated listing alongside the restaurant’s current ordering site. A past show does not promise live music during every meal.
