Escape Austin With These Day Trips | Eater Austin

"Coming down 183 into Lockhart you'll see Kreuz Market on your right; the business traces back to 1900 though it's been in its current building only since 1999 after Rick Schmidt moved it following a family dispute. You place your meat order at the back among the brick pits, and there are no barbecue sauce or forks—it's old-school; say hi to pitmaster Roy Perez with his iconic mutton-chop sideburns on your way out. Expect weekend lines (avoid peak lunch hours or arrive earlier), and order the shoulder clod (the lean-brisket equivalent), a pork chop, both types of homemade sausage, and pork ribs for a solid meal." - Eater Staff
