If Dad’s idea of a perfect day involves brisket and no interruptions, head to Stiles Switch BBQ in Cedar Park. This beloved offshoot of the original Austin location delivers the full Texas craft barbecue experience with smoky meats, classic sides, and a relaxed, nostalgic setting that’s built for lingering.
Founded by Shane Stiles and named after an 1800s railroad stop, Stiles Switch honors the Central Texas BBQ legacy. With veteran pitmaster Lance Kirkpatrick at the helm, the team follows a “no corners cut” philosophy that’s earned them two spots on Texas Monthly’s Top 50 BBQ Joints list.
The brisket is thick-cut, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Peppery pork ribs hit that perfect balance of bite and bark. Fans also rave about the Switch Original Sausage, juicy turkey, and flavorful pulled pork. On the side: creamy mac and cheese, fried Brussels sprouts, and their signature corn casserole topped with sweet cornbread. Don’t skip the house-made sauces—especially the lime-infused BBQ sauce that’s become a cult favorite among regulars.
Whether you’re dining in with the whole crew or grabbing a tray solo, the atmosphere is welcoming and unpretentious. Plenty of seating, Texas charm, and trays piled high with expertly smoked meats make this a local go-to—and a top pick for Father’s Day.
