CM Smokehouse

Delicious and unique offering of BBQ inspired bar food, parked at Bouldin Acres in South Austin.

CM Smokehouse is a chinese bbq in Austin, Texas. It is listed at 2027 S Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX 78704, which places it among the local businesses of Austin that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as tex-mex restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Austin; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in Texas are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–10 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach CM Smokehouse at (512) 536-0132; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, cmsmokehouse.com.
