BlackBook "There was a fracture in the first family of eat-with-your-hands Texas barbecue."
Gayot "Kreuz Market's oak-fired pits produce meats worth the 30 to 40 minute drive south of Austin." Full review

"There’s a “fantastic selection of meats”, from “delicious” brisket and sausage to thick-cut pork chops served on “butcher paper”, at this circa-1900 Lockhart BBQ “temple.”" Full review
Travel + Leisure "You’re not going to find sauce at Kreuz’s (pronounced Krites), a Lockhart stronghold since 1900." Full review
Fodor's "This sprawling landmark barbecue spot is another must when touring Lockhart for barbecue...this one has pits, so you can watch while you wait" Full review

They have more rules here: no sauce and no forks (so don't try asking for any!).

"It’s “worth the drive” to eat at this “venerable” (since 1932) “BBQ heaven” in Lockhart, where fans “get down and dirty” over “stellar" ribs and brisket." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"This Lockhart favorite has been owned by the same family since 1932...it also serves good salads, veggies and desserts. It's nothing fancy inside, but we found it Lockhart’s most welcoming BBQ joint. " Full review
