Kreuz Market

Kreuz Market, the oldest and best-known BBQ joint in Lockhart (arguably the barbecue capital of Texas), has been smoking for more than a century. Go early before the best cuts sell out.

A trip to Lockhart is not complete without a Jalapeño Cheese Sausage link from Kreuz. They are ridiculously snappy & absurdly juicy inside. Truly incredible. Read all about it on WinstonWanders below! Read more

This spot was my fave (near Lockhart)... smoker room smells amazing + plenty of seating with A/C + cheddar brat was juicy and simply perfect + brisket and turkey were rubbed on point, but a tad dry!!!

Brisket is divine and juicy, jalapeño cheddar sausage a great pairing - this place feels like a BBQ institution

Thrillist Top BBQ List: Fatty, tender brisket and spicy , house-ground jalapeno sausage ; add a pork chop , too. Don't ask for a fork (they believe meat should be eaten w/hands) and don't ask for sauce

Good choice of sides. Beans were excellent. Brisket on dry side, plenty of parking for RV. We stopped at every joint in town the other day, asked for lean from all of them. Blacks was the best.

Real BBQ , the way Texans used to enjoy it one hundred years ago. Not for the faint of heart, don't expect much in the way of fancy decoration and ambience. Worth the drive to Lockhart.

Easily the best of the four in Lochkart. It might seem more commercialized than the others, but the food is off the chain here. Only brisket I've had that's better is Pecan lodge and Luling Market .

Best in Lockhart. Get one hot and a pound of lean. Get some cheese strips, some sweet pickles mix, onions and a root beer . You have a meal fit for the gods.

I enjoyed the family friendly menu. Try the brisket & the sausage links ! I'm always a fan of tea and I highly suggest the freshly brewed here. Awesome meal!

Incredible brisket - feel the difference the moment you cut into it. Great hot link . Best of the big 3 in Lockhart

Meats are fantastic plan to take some home you don't have to order s pound but you should. Skip the Mac and cheese but try the sauerkraut

Amazing brisket and the jalepeno and cheese sausage is great too. Not to be missed, worth the trip out to lockhart.

I think the experience is as good as the meat. Simple and good is what this place is. No sauce, no plates, old school. great dried sausage at the meat counter as well .

"Truest example of Hill Country bbq . Style created by German butchers who settled in area. Beef is dominant, then pork and homemade sausage "

Feels like Texas BBQ . Brisket is lean and tasty. Sausage is the bomb.

Excellent jalapeno-cheese sausage 5/5. Normal sausage 4.75/5. Pork Chop a smoky flavor 4.25/5. Brisket flavorful but tough 4.5/5.

Watch out for the fire! This place is huge. They can serve a lot of people here, so it's a good option for big groups of people

Wow pretty good brisket with hot sauce . I miss my bbq sauce i cant help it.

Awesome green beans . Ham 's good. Get there early!!! They were out of ribs & potato salad & cole slaw by 7pm on Friday night. No forks . No sauce. Fyi.

Very simple bbq . I guess that's what makes it good. Definitely try the jalapeño sausage and the brisket .

One of the true Texas BBQ meccas, the ribs and sausage are as good as you're ever going to have.

A nice Peppery rub on the Beef and Ribs , both were moist and tender. Avoid the Pork Chop , smoke was nice but it was dry.

Brisket is nothing special, maybe just this time. Jal/cheese sausage though, is outstanding.

Go during the week if possible. The lines get long on weekends.

One of the biggest BBQ places in Lockheart, if not all of Texas. The wood piles alone are impressive but the meat is the main draw here. Amazing sausages .

The pit smoked meats were satisfactory but 3/4 of our party were very ill the following day; and those odds aren’t a coincidence.

One of the best places in Texas to eat the most famous BBQ in the world.

Baby friendly : One of the few Lockhart BBQ places with a changing table in the bathroom

Kreuz Market won the Food Wars challenge on TV for best barbeque in Lockhart.

The pork chop ! As good as everything is, I would come for the pork chop if they were out of everything else.

Can't go wrong with a cheese and sausage sandwich . The lemonade here is the best and is homemade ! :D

No matter what you get you will leave here full and happy (although you may have a stomach ache).

If your BBQ's a pity, don't see Smitty. Get your brisket fix at the joint where Elvis would eat.

Flippin' amazing. Make sure to get the jalapeño sausage and pork chops .

We had brisket and ribs . Ribs were had too much pepper and brisket was a little tough. Last minute decision to stop there, probably won't go back.

They say Lockhart is the capital of barbecue I would have to agree probably ate 2 lbs of beef brisket without blinking

It's all good. If you want to order like a local just say you want a

Brisket and pork ribs were real good!

Have the pork chops . Best item and short supply

The jalapeño cheddar sausage and burnt ends .

Great brisket ! Everything else was meh

It was good but not the best. Brisket was great.
