Black's BBQ
Lockhart, United States
This is the original location, the one Edgar Black Sr. opened on North Main Street in 1932. Lockhart calls itself the Barbecue Capital of Texas, and Black's has been here longer than most people have been alive — low and slow over post-oak wood, the way it was done then and the way it's done now. The restaurant runs seven days a week, closing at eight most nights and half past on Fridays and Saturdays. It's a working pit, not a museum. Show up, order, eat. That's the deal.
Kreuz Market
Lockhart, United States
Charles Kreuz Sr. built this place on North Colorado Street more than a century ago, and Central Texas barbecue has been its only business ever since. They smoke over post oak wood — the method unchanged, the commitment absolute. Walk in, order what's ready, eat it standing up or at a table. That's the whole thing, and it works.
Terry Black's Barbecue
Lockhart, United States
Mike Black and his brother built this barbecue joint on the foundation their father Terry laid: Central Texas style, cooked low and slow in a proper pit. The Lockhart outpost carries that same unadorned approach—the kind of place that earned recognition in Texas Monthly's Top 50 for doing the fundamentals right. Find them on North Colorado Street and order what they've been smoking since the brand started in 2014.
