Terry Black's Barbecue — Waco
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
Terry Black's BBQ brings Central Texas pit smoking to Waco, where the old-school method and the family name mean the same thing.
The Waco Terry Black's opened in 2024 at 228 8th Street — Michael and Mark Black's Central Texas barbecue, built on their father Terry's name and the Lockhart family lineage that earned the brand a Texas Monthly Top 50 spot. Open daily from 10:30, late on Friday and Saturday. Smoke and time.
