Lockhart BBQ and Range Day, Feb 3rd 2023

[toddnjoyce]

BBQ joint TBD by attendees the day of unless someone has a strong predisposition.

My Lockhart ranking:
1. Black's
2. Smitty's (closes at 6PM)
3. Kruez

For those that don’t know, there’s Black’s and then there’s Terry Black’s. Though Kent and Terry are related by grandparents and Terry headed Black’s until about 10 or so years ago, they are two completely different operations.

Black’s is the original location. When the split happened, it’s rumored Terry and the folks that supported him drug a wash tin of coals to the new location to keep the fire alive.

The original is brick pit, Terry’s uses offset smokers.

Black's.

An Eon ago - used to go the Kreutz. Taking people from out of the country past the BBQ pits, knives chained to the table, etc. was kinda fun. When I was a wee lad, we used to get half a hog there. Once the family split, it's never been the same. Never been to Smitty's or Chisolm - you choose. Even marginal BBQ is BBQ!!!

Out of all the different locations we like Terry's in Austin the best. Kent's is good and the best bbq in San Marcos. Not sure which side of the family owns the Lockhart location. I've seen pics of both Kent and Terry's kids advertising for the Lockhart location.

^^ Kent's is the best in San Marcos for sure. Hays county was all propped up and all - doesn't hold a candle.

There’s two Lockhart locations. Going in to town, that’s Terry’s first. Get downtown, that’s the original.

Anything outside of Lockhart is Terry Black’s. Confusing, but not unlike Louis Mueller’s.

Holy shit! Looks like they opened in Nov 2022. Excellent, one less thing to have to go into Austin for.

If the Lockhart location is as good as it is in Austin then they are easily my number one pick. I might have to go make sure before the range day.

I just did a little homework and got it all straightened out. Working with family can be difficult.
