Set in Austin, United States, la Barbecue reads as a barbecue restaurant rather than a generic listing. The draw is the kitchen's clarity, hospitality and consistency; at a comparatively accessible price point, it should be judged as a smart choice when you want something considered without turning the night into a major splurge. Its one-star standing makes it a serious address: polished enough to plan around, but still best judged by whether the kitchen's point of view matches your tastes.
