Central Texas-style BBQ with brisket, ribs, and Kreuz Market sausage
"Widely regarded as excellent but specifically serves Central Texas–style barbecue, so it may be less appropriate for someone who wants to experience North Texas barbecue while in Dallas." - Courtney E. Smith
"With family ties to Texas barbecue capital Lockhart (and the legendary Kreuz Market), this is your best bet for smoked meats in Bishop Arts. Lockhart Smokehouse presses all the BBQ buttons: wooden tables stocked with paper towels, beer signs lining the walls, and mounds of meat. The pitmasters here put out smoky bark-capped brisket, dry-rubbed spare ribs, and the same snappy sausages the family has been making for over 100 years. Throw in an ice-cold Lone Star and you’ll feel like you’re in Hill Country." - Kevin Gray
"With three locations in DFW, Lockhart Smokehouse makes reliably good, Central Texas style barbecue accessible. The sausages here, shipped in from the legendary Kreuz Market in Lockhart, Texas, are an especially yummy choice." - Courtney E. Smith, Amy McCarthy
"Home to some of the city’s best barbecue, Lockhart Smokehouse brings a Hill Country pedigree. Owner Jill Grobowsky Bergus’ grandfather helmed the iconic Kreuz Market in until the 1980s, and it’s still in the family. This spot has its sausages shipped in fresh from Lockhart because there’s no need to improve on a classic." - Courtney E. Smith
"Lockhart Smokehouse is the spot for heat lovers. The barbecue sauce has a kick, the brisket coleslaw packs a punch, and even the cayenne pepper-dusted deviled eggs come with little bits of the shreddy beef. Their Oak Cliff location brings together a nice mix of the neighborhood, where white-collar workers roll up their Jos. A. Bank shirt sleeves and local regulars swap chisme while eating off restaurant-supplied butcher paper. Lockhart Smokehouse also comes from a powerful barbecue lineage: it’s owned by a cousin of the people who run Kreuz Market in Texas’ barbecue capital (you know, Lockhart)." - lee escobedo
