Named after the official barbecue capital of Texas, this popular Bishop Arts smokehouse serves what many locals consider is the closest thing you can get to authentic Central Texas-style barbecue. Which is no surprise since the co-owner, Jill Bergus, happens to be a member of the family who owns the legendary Kreuz Market in Lockhart. As with most Central Texas barbecue, the emphasis is on the meat rather than the sauce, and it's suffice to say that Lockhart's meats are flavorful enough to stand out on their own. The chicken is tender and moist, the ribs are smokey and sweet, and the same goes for the brisket, which is slow-smoked over post oak to perfection. And don't skip the sausages, they're brought in fresh from Kreuz Market. Not sure about what to get? No problem, just ask for a sample. Make sure to call before you come, the place shuts down as soon as it sells out.
