10 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Lockhart

“I want to give a shout-out to the guys at checkout. Robert P. & A.Dun G. Really made an impact and went above and beyond! It was our first time in, though we have heard great things about Terry Blacks BBQ, we will definitely come back and recommend this location with the friendly staff! Delicious food, Turkey and Mac and cheese was 100% our fav.“

“Incredible. I've had the best BBQ the state has to offer, and this may be the new #1 once the next top 50 comes out.

Brisket is as good as Goldees, the Turkey is so moist I'm calling it wet, the sausage is incredible and perfectly rendered...but the ribs. Oh my god the ribs. They'd be amazing on their own, but the fresh grated lime zest just elevates them into another world.

On top of that, Chuck and her team are amazing and so kind. A+ service!

Get there early - they run out fast. The wait in line is worth it. Try it before you have to camp out to eat there.

Fully expect to see them challenging Goldees for #1“

“Shout out to Riley he is the 1 making superb pit bbq. My husband and myself just ate there for dinner yesterday. A warm and family welcoming is what you will receive when you arrive. Riley is always smiling. Matter of fact he and his staff are Friendly, positive, and all smiles and always making sure everything you are eating is of your approval and that you are content. We chose to dine in for our first trip. Something we will return for soon indeed! It is like being at your home away from home. Just the atmosphere and the Delicious Ample food served along with all of the many different options of their tasty sides. That sweet tea was perfectly sweetened. The brisket was scrumptious as was their bbq sauce. The potato salad is my newly favorite (besides my own) and had my taste buds curious as to all the love and ingredients put into it. My apologies for no pictures, my husband and I believe in no cell phones at the dinner table. I left with a food baby in my tummy lol (inside joke) I am not pregnant just a certain something said when the food is more than superior and the belly is perfectly satisfied;
Thank you again Riley enjoyed the conversation, appreciate you taking the time out of your day to come to our table while we were there, not many places anymore one can go and speak to the pit master and creator. We left with leftovers as he makes sure you will be full and fed and satisfied prior to departure. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sincerely, Deneiece & Jon“

“Took my visiting sister and her husband to Smitty’s , the walls are black with smoke, fires were ablaze , air was heavy with the smell of cooking meat and what looked like post oak . We had ribs , sausages and brisket that was cooked to perfection . I couldn’t have made a better impression of true Texas BBQ !“

“Ruger’s food is incredible, it’s honestly some of the most tasty food in Lockhart. We have tried almost all of his food and it never disappoints! From the fried catfish to his jambalaya, you cannot go wrong with anything! You can catch Ruger’s open every Sunday from 2pm-8pm at The Corn Crib in TankTown. You will not be disappointed!“
