la Barbecue is a restaurant in Austin, Texas, United States.
History The restaurant was established in 2012 by LeAnn Mueller and is now owned by her wife Ali Clem.
In August 2022, owners Clem and Mueller were indicted on fraud charges after the Texas Department of Insurance discovered a 2016 insurance policy was taken out on an employee after a serious injury had occurred and was backdated three weeks prior to the injury. The trial was scheduled to begin in October 2023.
The "sibling" restaurant Lil' Barbecue is slated to open in Portland, Oregon in 2025.
Reception The restaurant was included in Texas Monthly's list of the "Top 50 Barbecue Joints in Texas" in 2021. It received a Michelin star in 2024.
