“This tuna sandwich was incredible- the bread! The flavor! It’s made with love, and I have a new pit stop on my drives between San Marcos and Houston. It really hit the spot!”

“WOW WOW WOW!!!!! Seriously, if you haven’t tried them- you should. The wait was WELL worth it. My 3yo, husband and myself had the best experience here. The food is worth a million bucks and the service is matched equally! I had the best sandwich I think I’ve ever had (the gonzo), my husband had a burger (the market street burger); even he couldn’t dominate, and my daughter drowned herself in the incredible strawberry waffle for kids. Super pleased we made the choice to eat here. Definitely going to be a place we come back to often!!!”

“When we first visited this restaurant, we were immediately greeted by the owners, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Normally, I don’t enjoy dining with my children because I worry about getting them to sit down. However, they had a charming little area for the kids to play, which made the experience much more enjoyable for both of us. The food was incredible, and let’s not forget about the dessert. I haven’t had a homemade pie like that in ages. We’ll definitely be returning to this place.”

I can't wait to get my hands on some different items next time...I won't be happy until I've tried everything. 🥰🥰”

“This is a classic old school beer bar. Clean restrooms (yes, that is first), comfortable atmosphere, AMI jukebox, pool tables and you can smoke out of the elements. One of the few bars left like that. Great place! Great location! Great people! BUBBA'S IN LOCKHART is GREAT!”

“Stopped on way back home to LV. Had preordered meat to be frozen and ready to go. All was packaged but not frozen. Had to stop in Seguin for dry ice. Had lunch before we left Luling. Brisket wonderful! Sides were great. Sausage not like it used to be...not smoky and not a little greasy anymore....”

“No good, boring”

“I’m originally “MIT”—Made in Taiwan—but currently in Cambridge, MA, pursuing a PhD at an institute with a similar name. This summer, I’m interning at Synopsys in Austin, and as every good Texan would advise: you haven’t really arrived until you’ve had BBQ.

So I drove to Riley’s Pit BBQ, located at 1326 S Colorado St, Lockhart, TX—just next to a McDonald’s but worlds apart in flavor.
I ordered a three-meat plate—brisket, ribs, and sausage—with sides for just $18 (tax and tip included). In 2025, that’s a steal.
The brisket melted on the tongue with a smoky bark, the ribs were juicy, and the sausage casing offered a satisfying snap. It was hearty, flavorful, and generous in portion.
The plate came classic-style: with pickles, onions, a slice of white bread, and rich sides like potato salad and mac & cheese.
Inside, the dining room was decked with Texas memorabilia and BBQ signs, giving it a warm, laid-back feel.
Behind the scenes, you can see piles of smoking wood stacked out back and a working pit smoker—a sign that the meat is done the traditional way.
While the meat quality was excellent, one suggestion for improvement would be switching from plastic to wooden chopping boards, as the latter is more durable and won’t risk microplastic debris in food.

In a town saturated with legendary BBQ names, Riley’s felt humble, genuine, and full of heart. I plan to return, and if you appreciate honest, affordable BBQ in a no-frills setting, you should too.”
