I’ve visited many barbecue places, and this one felt very interesting and different. The space is very large and well set up, making it a great place to visit with family or friends.
Unfortunately, we arrived a bit late and many items were already sold out, including the beef ribs, which I was really hoping to try. At that point, the only meats available were sausages, brisket, chicken, and ham. Because of this, I highly recommend going early so you can enjoy the full experience and try everything on the menu.
The brisket had great flavor and was overall very good, although a few pieces were slightly dry. As for the sausages, they’re not my personal favorite, but my husband and my son tried the jalapeño sausage and another variety, and both thought they were very good.
They offer two barbecue sauces: one that is sweeter and a bit more fruity, and another that is bolder and more robust. Personally, I preferred the sweeter, fruity-style sauce.
The sides were excellent:
• The jalapeño corn was absolutely delicious.
• The mac and cheese was really good.
• The baked potato was very well prepared and flavorful.
• The coleslaw was okay, nothing special.
For dessert, we tried the caramel and pecan ice cream, and it was quite good.
The service was excellent, everyone was very friendly and welcoming, which added a lot to the experience. I recommend this place as an experience; it’s definitely something different and worth visiting.

A friend and I taking a tour of Lockhart BBQ..
Ambience: you enter the smokey pit area and pick your protein… Interesting. The dining area is large and more designed for families.
Brisket: not as moist as Terry Black’s but still tasted great
Pork ribs: done well, tasted great
Sausage: ring style, my buddy loved it, but i preferred more casing crunch; also the e as more finely ground
Sweet tea: did not purchase, but I can see they use Community Coffee, whose ice tea I always enjoy
Pricing: it not about the pricing today

I finally made it to Kreuz to try their BBQ. The brisket was fine, but honestly a little dry for my taste, which was disappointing since that’s usually the star of the plate. The sausage, however, was really flavorful and juicy, definitely the highlight of the meal. The atmosphere is great—big open space with that classic Texas BBQ vibe, and it feels like the kind of place you want to sit down and enjoy a meal with friends. Service was straightforward and quick. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I’d probably come back more for the sausage and atmosphere than the brisket.

Not as good as it used to be. Seasoning and cuts of meat being used in their sausage isn’t the same. Used to love their sausage when I was younger. Brisket, Porkchop and chicken was excellent. Sausage and prime rib was ehhh…
Need more seasoning on prime rib and in their sausage. Porkchop was super moist
and brisket was perfect. Sat in smokehouse area away from the noisy dinning room. Very peaceful and relaxing.

The people that serve you the meat are just NOT friendly at ALL, I felt like a child and they were my parents or a teacher that’s mean. I got chicken (I took to go) sausage (VERY dry) and brisket that was overcooked and just not good and a side of corn and ice tea.
For a grand total of $35.57 after tip, for 1 person, I hand to feel for my wallet to make sure they didn’t take that as well, all around a VERY disappointing experience, but pretty typical of a LOT of BBQ places these days, I am just going to stop going out for BBQ, it’s to expensive and the food is usually just NOT up to par like today.

Unfortunately I have to give my experience here 3 stars. I was really looking forward to some good barbecue in the barbecue capital of Texas but was met with disappointment in the form of dry brisket and ok sausage.
The sides are good with my favorite being the creamed corn, the turkey was good, and the best thing we ordered was the half chicken.
The staff just seemed down and annoyed that they had to do their job. The atmosphere was the best part of the whole experience with the real Texas feel and nostalgia.

Choice selection of BBQ meats and amazing history. You can see, smell, and feel the heat from the famous pits where you select your meats. Sides were also excellent and friendly servers to help you select. Dinning area is air conditioned in a nice BBQ styled setting. We got brisket, sausage, and beef ribs and all were cooked perfectly and the taste blew us away. Loved dinning here! Forgot to mention they have blue bell ice cream, banana pudding, and pie for dessert.

A hallowed hall of Texas barbecue. One of the all time greats. Must-stop on any trip to Lockhart. Order by the pound at the open ancient brick pits in the smoking room. Smoked pork chop, brisket, half chicken and beef sausage links are perfection. No sauce necessary ever. Pork spare ribs are some of the best anywhere. Highly recommend for the whole experience.

I’ve been to many BBQ places, and while this one wasn’t my favorite, it felt more like a backyard BBQ experience. The inside was nice, but the smoke was very overwhelming, especially when ordering the brisket right next to the smoker. The brisket itself was drier than I had hoped.
The smoked ham was awesome, and the sides were decent—I especially loved the fideo. I also didn’t care for not having to-go boxes and having to wrap the meat in paper. Overall, it tasted like BBQ you’d have at someone’s backyard gathering.

This food is definitely overrated. I mean, if your food is going to be trash at least have good service. The service was worse than the food. The ribs were dry, the links were like mush on the inside with very little flavor. The brisket was decent. Places in DFW runs circles around them. I would not recommend. And after reading other reviews this is making sense. Someone leaving a good or bad review is an opportunity. It shouldn’t be taken as someone trying to hurt your business. Says a lot about this place reading the owner’s responses.
