Smitty's Market

"A half-hour drive out of Austin proper is a small price to pay for 'cue from the gods. Orders are placed next to the scalding fire."

"“Locally owned” by members of a longtime BBQ family (the owner's father ran Kreuz Market at this site), this Lockhart meat market/restaurant is praised for its “outstanding” brisket and pork ribs." Full review

"You’ll pass open fires on your way to the casual dining room at this barbecue joint; eaters get a stack of white bread and one plastic knife with each order of hot rings (sausages) and fat brisket." Full review

"A stop at Smitty's is an absolute must: it's still housed in the original 1948 Kreuz Market...the brisket, sausage, and turkey are not to be missed, but they also offer a decadent smoked prime rib " Full review
