Barbecue in Lockhart

Located 23 miles south of Austin on US 183, lies another "Barbecue Capital of Texas," Lockhart. You won't find an article on Texas barbecue without mention of this little town.

Kreuz also exhibits a well-known Texas fact: barbecue is worth fighting about, even with your own family members. A few years ago, brothers Rick and Don Schmidt had a fiery difference of opinion with sister Nina Sells, who had inherited the Kreuz building from their father. Eventually the brothers took the Kreuz name and started their own place at 619 North Colorado.
