No ribs?? Boo!!
Oh well, nothing like some good TX BBQ on butcher paper!Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -
I've always thought Black's has it all over Kreuz's. Last time at Kreuz's, I thought the brisket was dry, and I recall that they were out of ribs then, too. Black's is always spot on.

Went to Blacks when we were in Texas about 5 months ago and had a Beef rib and some brisket. Both were excellent and I'd go back in a minute if we lived closer. Long line to get in but worth the wait.

Don't forget about Smitty's (the orginal Kreutz before the old man died and the kids split the 2 businesses. No Christmas cards between those 2I don't like either of their briskets. they cook them in 4 hours at like 400 degrees. TO me, they are sausage and rib places but tons of fun to get thereBlacks is good but can be wildly inconsistent. They do have the best brisket in Lockhart though. Now that we have Franklin BBQ and J. Mueller's here in Austin, my trips to Lockhart are pretty much over unless I'm just driving through. Both of them are better than anything in LockhartKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Sounds like I'll have to visit Austin the next time I'm down that way.

I wasn't going to chime in but if you are in that area again, I recommend City Market in Luling. It is right down the road from Lockhart. To me, City Market is consistently better than Kreuz, Smitty's or Blacks. I have never tried Chisholm Trail in Lockhart, but plan to one day. Heading down to Rockport this weekend (well...Thursday) and plan to stop at City Market fo sho.-----------I feel a whole lot more like I do now than I did when I got here.

lakewade, have you tried City market in Giddings or Snow's in Lexington. Friends who life in Lockhart say Chisholm Trail is the local's favorite. We also like City Market in Lulling.Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

snow's was Texas Monthly's best bbq in TX last year. I haven't gotten out there yet. I'm with lakewade on City market Luling. It's awesome. Still Like Franklin BBQ better than all others but really want to get to Snow's. They are only open Saturdays from 8 AM to close and they are in the middle of nowhere.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

8 AM to close? I like those hours. It leaves room for creativity.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here. -

It's actually 8am until they run out of meat. Which is always before noon.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
Has anyone tried Opies in Spicewood or Coopers in Llano? Recommend getting to Snows early, especially during football season. Lots of Dallas aggies stop there on the way to AggielandLarge, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

Yes on Giddings - drive through there all the time. No on Snow's, but it is on the list!-----------I feel a whole lot more like I do now than I did when I got here. -

Actually, I heard they have buried the hatchet. Rumors are they ar joining forces and opening a new restaurant in Austin. Supposedly, they are going to take coals from both restaurants and take them to the new place when it is finished to start the fire.I think the 4 in Lockhart can all be hit or miss. Depends on the day and time you get there. I've enjoyed everyhting I've gotten at Chisholm. Next time we head tot eh ranch, I'll be stopping at Luling to try it.

Opies just OK. Coopers is the bomb. They have one in New Braunfels and Ft Worth in the stockyards now. All 3 locations are excellent. The dude at Opies worked at Coopers and broke out on his own. Not as good but we eat there when we are driving out that way.Has anyone tried Opies in Spicewood or Coopers in Llano? Recommend getting to Snows early, especially during football season.

Yeah I am trying to find a way to live down there and commute back up here to work. That is my goal.Glad you finally got some beach time in this summer-----------I feel a whole lot more like I do now than I did when I got here. -
That would be awesome! You are half way there as much as you've been down there this summer. Get a place with a spare room. We'll split an egg and keep it down there to make it official.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Have not made Franklins in Austin but 100% report it is out of this world good. Don't forget Iron Works (good lunch) and Green Mesquite, both good. But I am told not as good as Franklins.

I've been to both Franklin and J Mueller and their brisket is amazing. In fact, I bought a couple of lbs to bring back to Houston on the July 4th weekend for a big feast with family and friends >- Have heard about Snow's but I heard they ran out their meat pretty quick around 11 or so. In fact, a friend of mine went there and they ran out of meat when he got there around 11:30.I don't like either of their briskets. they cook them in 4 hours at like 400 degrees. TO me, they are sausage and rib places but tons of fun to get thereBlacks is good but can be wildly inconsistent. They do have the best brisket in Lockhart though.

J Mueller's is a close 2nd, then Salt Lick, the everybody elseHave not made Franklins in Austin but 100% report it is out of this world good. Don't forget Iron Works (good lunch) and Green Mesquite, both good. But I am told not as good as Franklins.
