Is this it ?

Yes, that is the one!

Highly recommended. Should not be missed. Really!

Also, there is another great place a bit further south on that same street (Austin Highway). Bun "n" Barrel. Has been there for over 65 years. A BBQ institution.

1). Mr. J''s BBQ
2). EDS Smoke-N-Q

Blacks in Lockhart, TX and they have a visual friendly smoke pit.

If you willing to travel up to Austin,Le Barbeque is very good, trailer set up with benches to sit and enjoy their food,no beer,but you can go across the street and bring it back to enjoy,with your food.

I haven't been to Coopers in Llano,but the one in NB,is good IMO. Great beans, giant BBQ pork chop, and coobler,guess you figured out I'm a sucker for a good cobbler.

Thank you for all the great suggestions! It looks like I'm going to have to hit the gym a little extra hard to keep my figure tho!

For those voting for two brothers....this makes me sad, super over priced mediocre bbq... travel to Lockhart and eat the good stuff! Originally Posted by TheConsult01

The original Rudy's in Leon Springs is great stuff. The chain copies... not so much...

If you go to Taylor Texas (NE of Austin), find Louie Mueller's off Hwy 79!!!! It's a bit far from SA, and Franklin's in Austin has a HUGE wait (arrive at 8am to get food when they open at 11am). I'm a barbecue maniac, but I can't make that work...

Speaking of Lockhart...

Black's

Enough said.

in sa, augie's bbq by the zoo and b daddy's in helotes are both yummy.

Bar B Q Station in Sa

Lockhart is the age old Home of Texas BBQ. It is easier to get it now as Blacks BBQ has opened a store in San Marcos. Beef Ribs to die for and can split one, YES, ONE! with a friend. They weigh in at around 2 lbs or more.

San Antonio is different and more like S. Texas... spicier... a hotter flavor. Also excellent.

I find San Antonio style is really nice with sauce. The Lockhart style is very into the MEAT flavor and one store there does NOT serve sauce. End of story.

Lockhart is worth the drive.
