Most “BBQ Tours” Hand You a Fixed Script.
We Give You the Pen.
Here’s the problem with the typical Austin BBQ tour: someone else already picked the stops. The route is Joint A → Joint B → Joint C, and if your crew can’t stand B, too bad — you’re going anyway, and you’re sharing the bus with people you’ve never met.
That’s not how we do it. Tell us what your group is into — legendary brisket, smoked sausage, a spot with killer sides, a place with cold beer and picnic tables, whatever — and we build the route around that. Don’t love one of our picks? Swap it. It’s your bus and your day: A → C → Z, not A → B → C.
Select from our “Greatest Hits” for Your Private BBQ Tour — Without Strangers
Some tour companies sell you a single seat on a shared bus. We don’t — and that’s on purpose. When you book Fly-Rides, the whole bus is yours: your group, your music, your route, your start time. No waiting on strangers and no schedule built around someone else’s reservation. It’s a private party on wheels from the first stop to the last — and you set the timing, not us.

How Your Custom Austin BBQ Tour Works
Booking a custom BBQ tour with Fly-Rides is refreshingly simple. First, tell us your group size, the kind of BBQ your crew is into, and the date you want to ride. Next, we build a route around your taste — hitting the Austin and Hill Country BBQ joints you actually want to visit, from world-famous pits to under-the-radar gems. Finally, you climb aboard your own private party bus, and a professional driver handles the parking, the traffic, and the safe ride home while everyone relaxes and enjoys the day.
Most groups visit three to four BBQ joints over a day, with plenty of time to eat, relax, and soak up each spot without feeling rushed. Prefer to mix things up? You can add a brewery, a winery, or a distillery stop to your BBQ tour — every Fly-Rides route is fully customizable to your group.
Popular Austin BBQ Joints for Your Tour
Central Texas is the BBQ capital of the world, and we know the pits well. In Austin, crowd favorites include Franklin Barbecue, la Barbecue, Terry Black’s, and Cooper’s Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que. Out toward Dripping Springs and the Hill Country, don’t miss the legendary Salt Lick in Driftwood, Crimson Creek Smokehouse, and Pig Pen BBQ — and east in Bastrop, the 140-year-old Southside Market & Barbeque and Billy’s Pit BBQ are well worth the ride. Not sure where to start? Tell us what your crew likes and we’ll recommend the perfect lineup of joints for your private tour.
However you build it, your Austin BBQ tour comes with the same promise: the whole bus is yours, the route is yours, and the only schedule that matters is your group’s. That’s the Fly-Rides difference.
