Terry Black's BBQ
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
Terry Black's BBQ brings Central Texas pit smoking to Lockhart the way the Black brothers learned it—old-school, no compromise.
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.
