I have to say that I’ve never really liked any BBQ restaurants we’ve been to. This place changed that. We got a little bit of everything. The beef rib, besides being huge, was so moist & tender it almost melted in my mouth. The flavor was scrumptious and didn’t need any sauce. The brisket was very tender and juicy. The pork ribs were on point & didn’t need sauce either. We were a bit disappointed in the jalapeño sausage as it seemed overdone, but it’s flavor was good. Hubby enjoyed his banana pudding and I had my pecan pie later, which was good. We had leftovers for 2 more meals. We bought bbq sauce and hot sauces & dry rubs to take home. Lockhart, Texas is definitely the the BBQ capital of the world and Black’s is the best BBQ I have ever had. We’ll done, indeed.

Well expectations were mute since most BBQ joints I have been to have only been mediocre at best. BUT……..
This is the best BBQ I have ever had!
Where to start….Sides were Mac n Cheese, Green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, coleslaw slaw and Banana pudding.
The Cole slaw was soo good, not vinegary or dry but moist and tasty as cole slaw should be.
Mac n cheese was cheesy and flavorful. Mashed potatoes thick and spiced just right with salt and pepper.
Banana pudding was very good.
Now the meat….
Brisket was moist and full of flavor.
Pork rub was not dry and had a good smokey flavor to it.
The Beef Rib….OMG…when you bite into the meat it melted in your mouth. The best I have ever had.
The Jalapeño n cheese sausage was the only disappointment. Too dry and no flavor. No Jalapeño spice to it. Considering the other meats this may have been an anomaly.
The BBQ sauce was very good. It had a nice flavor not sweet, not oniony, not chunky or vinegar.
Overall the best experience and BBQ I have had to date.

That’s the real Barbeque experience. You have to visit this unique place for the amazing Barbeque taste. Tried a lot of BBQ spots, but this place is by far the best.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
Just amazing!

I was told Blacks was some of the best BBQ in the state of TX so I had to come by and check it out for myself. I was not disappointed. Got to meet the owner as he was great to come by and introduce himself. The food was excellent. I had sliced brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage, cole slaw, and black eyed peas. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. When I am back in the area I will return.

The original Black’s, open since 1932, is the place to go if you want a traditional, old-school Texas BBQ experience. It is run by Kent Black and maintains the heritage that helped make Lockhart the “BBQ Capital of Texas.”
Best for Brisket: Many consider their brisket to be more succulent and fatty compared to the competition.
Signature Items: Known for giant beef ribs and their original-recipe sausage.
Historic Atmosphere: Offers a nostalgic, narrow dining room filled with decades of family history.

Blacks never misses! Great brisket, not crazy about the sides but that’s ok. Make sure you try the jalapeño sausage, it will change your life!

Very friendly place! Every one of those employees are awesome. family friendly. Everything was juicy good . Great tasting rib- that was my favorite. of course, we got a lot, wanted to try every one of our favorites had to take it home. Sausage was made perfect not too spicy not too tough, just right flavor and grind. Place was beautiful outside! Even thanked the bbq pit master that was outside watching the BEEF!!! Love the potato salad. Never had one with just dill!!! Stopped by on our way to Dallas thank you all for making us feel at home even the bus man was very cool guy!!! Have a great day guys loved it!!!

Great restaurant, great lookong meats. I got the beef rib , it was good but had too much fat. Great flavor the price was a little steep, payed $61.55 for a 1.625lbs rib. Sucks It had too much fat and most of the weight was from the bone. Overall it was good, need to try the other meats.

Cons: NONE. NOT A SINGLE ONE.
Pros:
Location: Situated in a quaint, small town. It’s very nostalgic. The drive is scenic and fun to just coast and listen to music.
Staff: FRIENDLY. WELCOMING. KNOWLEDGEABLE.
Seating: Plenty of seating. However, we were fortunate to be there on a Friday during lunch.
Food: We ordered the beef rib, brisket, sausage and pork ribs. We also ordered the beans, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and peach cobbler. The beef rib was succulent. Juicy, great bark, flavorful meat and LITERALLY fell off that big ‘ol bone. The brisket had a great bark that was not laden with salt but instead had a perfect mixture of seasoning that married well with the meat and rendered fat. The pork ribs…well..let me just say this…St. Louis and KC bbq will never be the same for my taste buds. Black’s pork ribs have set the bar extremely high simply due to the flavor. Their ribs didn’t require a bunch of sauce. In fact, no sauce was necessary and would be quite disrespectful for that work of art. The sausage was good and had a perfect “snap”, outstanding flavor and was well worth ordering. ( I’m just…salivating as I write this review. ) Give me a second…..okay I’m back. Now the sweet potatoes were what us soul food lovers are accustomed to eating for Thanksgiving. They even had the marshmallows on top!!! The mashed potatoes were good but I should have ordered them without the gravy because it didn’t allow me to fully enjoy the potatoes. The peach cobbler was delicious as well.

Been here a few times… the other times were better. Today We ordered moist brisket that was not moist. Was actually more on the dry side so I was disappointed, especially at a 33/pound price. The turkey could have been smoked a little more- it was bland. The sides were good! We had the mac and cheese and yams. Bread is on a self serve counter to grab what you want. I always try tea at bbq places and I made sure to fill my cup up again before I left.
