Next Wednesday-Friday I will be in Lockhart, Texas. If you live there, and are able to chat intelligently about the native barbecue scene, drop me a line and we can try to catch a meal. Lockhart recommendations — food or otherwise — are welcome as well, comments are open.
I went there a few times with a friend who worked in Austin for three years. We always went to Blackie’s. Dunno if they’re better than the other guys…but that’s what my friend claimed.
I live in Austin, about 30min from Lockhart.
Kreuz Mkt – the high temple of BBQ in Lockhart is Kreuz Market. There are different schools of BBQ, some favouring a dry rub and smoking technique with less emphasis on BBQ sauce, some focused on sauce, and some in between; Kreuz specializes in the former. Brisket and sausage is recommended, but the pork is also outstanding. Kreuz Mkt was original located in downtown Lockhart, until a family disagreement caused them to go their separate ways, with the very large Kreuz Mkt outside of town, and the original location renamed Smitty’s, which serves the same ‘Q in the original surroundings.
Black’s – also good but not great, they tend to be more sauce oriented. Excellent peach cobbler.
Salt Lick – Actually not located in Lockhart (they’re nearer to Dripping Springs/Buda), but they have a kiosk at the Austin airport, which I highly recommend you seek out and try. These guys are all about the sauce, which is a sweet,mustardy kind of BBQ sauce, the brisket or turkey is good but not especially notable. The sausage is very good.
Also another place in Austin worth taking the time/going out of your way to visit is John Mueller’s BBQ (son of Louis Mueller in Taylor TX, another high temple of TX BBQ) , near downtown Austin. They also are all about the rub and technique, the brisket is so most and flavourful you spoil it by putting sauce on.
I cannot believe you bring him “almost” to downtown w/o mentioning the Iron Cactus. I never do sauce–their meat is great. The Salt Lick is legendary, but make sure you stick with the original location.
Tyler,
Your first stop should be Kreuz Market on Hwy 183. As a previous poster has mentioned, they had to move locations because of a dispute between siblings. Their new location does not have the ambiance of BBQ smoke-covered walls and historic structure that their old location did, but Kreuz still makes among the best BBQ in Central Texas. One of my two best pork experiences ever happened at Kreuz, while enjoying their barbecued pork chops (you may need to arrive early for lunch as they sometimes run out of these). Also notable at Kreuz is their prime rib. Brisket and sausage are tasty, but pork chops and prime rib are my favorites. Be aware that Kreuz is minimalist – no forks, no plates, no sides, no sauce – their comment is, is that if the meat is good, why do you need sauce?
Enjoy!
Dirk
My family (specifically my father) is from Lockhart, although we all now live in the DC area. In my experience Blacks is superior. As real Texans we never use sauce, and Black’s brisket shines wihtout any need for additional flavoring. Ask for a less fatty piece however. I have always thought Kreuz’s relied more on atmosphere and reputation than on quality of meat. But it’s certainly not bad. I have never tried the other places mentioned.
austin native for 36 years, and spent many weekends and summers at grandparents a few miles from lockhart. quietpc3400 knows what he’s talking about, although I agree w/ Dylan that you can skip the Salt Lick, unless you have nowhere else to go. Or try it at the airport. If the weather is still nice, the original Salt Lick is a great place to eat outside, especially if they have a band that day.
More interesting, what the hell are you going to Lockhart for? My mind is blowing gaskets, fuses, and all sorts of stuff trying to come up with a reason why an economist from back east would go to Lockhart? And during the workweek, no less!!
sorry, firefox screws up sometimes
A second for Cooper’s. The beef ribs were truly outstanding, meaty, and tender. The brisket, well, it’s a good thing Goode Co is down the street.
I think that the County Line is pretty much like the Salt Lick–a bit more hat than cattle. The aesthetics are great (I’ve not been to the south location), but the BBQ is not better than a 7.
