25 Great Dishes: Hanger steak Benedict from Lamberts Downtown Barbecue
In the spirit of dishing, Forklore shares his 25 favorite dishes in the Austin360 Dining Guide.
The Austin360 Dining Guide will hit the Web and the paper on Friday, Nov. 6. Here’s a preview from the 25 Great Dishes section of the guide, gleaned from more than 175 places I’ve visited in my first year as the American-Statesman’s restaurant critic.
The tightly packed and slightly unwieldy Sunday brunch buffet from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. is a grand tour of Lamberts’ Southern accents: deviled eggs topped with caviar, Cheddar-poblano grits, maple and coriander-crusted barbecued ribs and brown-sugar brisket.

Maybe it was the lack of gorgonzola (ewww), but this dish just lacked flavor other than smoke. If you love smoked trout, you'll probably like it. If you don't, then try another fish. more… [1 review]

This is the absolute best way to experience French toast. Brioche is quite possibly the best bread selection for this dish, next to using cake. They soak the brioche in a creamy egg and cinnamon mixture, more… [1 review]

These little ribs are just spectacular. The sauce is spicy but still lets the flavor of the boar come through. The dish name is right on: the meat is crispy on the outside but still tender once you take more… [2 reviews]

On this plate I ordered brisket and ribs from a list that included a variety of meats. You also get the choice of two sides, which I elected to make the super tasty macaroni and cheese (for both of them). more… [1 review]

I feel a little silly reviewing this little side order item, but it's actually the reason i always wanna go back to Lambert's. They're not JUST waffle fries though, they're perfectly CRISP waffle fries more… [1 review]

This dessert brings "milk 'n cookies" to a whole new level. First, you'd never know that an Oreo could taste so good. It is softer and chewier than the store bought-kind, and the cream tastes...well, more… [1 review]

When a chef owns up to a favorite dish on his or her menu, you know it's worth a try. Rumor has it that one of the current chef picks at Lambert's is the fried green tomato appetizer. After sampling a more… [1 review]

When this came out, I was stoked. The presentation was great, down to the little onion-crafted jalapeño pedestal. I love the bbq sauces that come in the apothecary-style bottles. My first few bites of more… [1 review]

Interesting take on a Texas classic. The brisket was solid, not epic. It was moist and flavorful without sauce (although you could use one of the three sauces they bring to the table: regular, hot, or more… [1 review]

Oh Lambert's, you're no Cholula but you had me at the medley of hot sauces. I like a place that has a variety of spice. Lambert's hot sauces kicked in one by one. The House was good for the spicy BBQ more… [1 review]

If I could rate this dish based on the habanero- mint pepper jelly, it would be an 11. The tomato was nothing special and the lamb was very good (not the best ever, but well-cooked and substantial), but more… [1 review]

This dish is nothing special when you compare it to other BBQ places (Salt Lick, Rudy's, Ruby's, Iron Works, etc.). It's good, but it's not worth the $12 price tag or the wait if you haven't made dinner more… [1 review]

It's my second favorite queso in Austin (second only to Fonda San Miguel's queso Oaxaca style). The flavors of green chiles, garlic, and cilantro pervade this queso, giving it a complexity that most other more… [1 review]
