Smitty's Market

Some of the best BBQ anywhere, period. Sausage rings are incredible and portable. Fatty brisket is mind altering . Sides are ok but that's not why you come here.

Smitty's is steeped in atmosphere, from the lone cover to the blazing fires to the checkered past. Really fun barbecue stop. Pork ribs were my favorite.

Right in town and it was great... small, but mighty bbq joint -- sausage fell apart too easily but brisket was mouthwatering and tasty!!! Add some of the sides or ice cream and it was all phenomenal

Brisket was bad azz, sausage is off da chizzain yo. It's worth the drive and time. ????????????????

Wow fantastic BBQ . The jalapeño sausage was moist and just the right spice. The brisket fatty was great but the burned ends were cooked perfect. Will be back.

One of the best bbq spots in Texas. Moist brisket , tasty ribs in an old distinctive environment - you will have to walk into understand ????

The sausage is what it's all about. Ribs and brisket are good. Don't forget to get some cheese and crackers .

Food not worth the trip. The folks great. Where you get the food right next to the wood burning grill/smoker is cool. The prices great. CASH only , but they have an ATM .

This is simply some of the best BBQ in the nation! BBQ done right... Order by the pound straight off the pit... Served on butcher paper... Cash only ... No forks... Family style seating... Enough said!

Made our South's Best List! Dive into the deliciousness of a perfect plate: ¼ pound smoked brisket (not the lean), 1 "hot link ," ¼ pound pork ribs , white bread , pickle , piece of cheese , and crackers . Read more

Don't be fooled by the looks of the place. The brisket here is the best I've ever had! Definitely worth a stop if you're nearby!

Amazing. Get ribs , brisket (both fat and lean), a pork chop and the prime rib if it's there. Prime rib on wknds only, but they sell out fast.

I have never had a piece of pork cooked more perfectl. Great treatment and conversation with the pit boss. This place is the real deal. Sorry if a few of you can't diggit. Go back to California.

In many states , smitty's would be best. In lockhart, it's in a dead heat with black's for best bbq in town . Brisket pits are breathtaking.

Awesome! Still have memories! Best ribs ! Great brisket ! Hot pit near the checkout line ! Old school beans! No credit! Cash only ! Avocados and crackers

Fyi: cold ring = uncooked sausage (good for cook@home). Shoulder is lean brisket (less fat) Brisket is fatty. Either, or, you cant go wrong!

Former home of Kreuz , which relocated to its current digs in 1999. Smitty's Market just-missed-the Thrillist Top US BBQ List

Right in the middle of Texas's barbeque capital, Smitty's may be the best barbeque in the state . This place is cash only , but they have an ATM .

Excellent pork ribs , and the charred parts of the beef ribs are excellent 5/5. Brisket a bit tough and stringy. 4.25/5

OMG. The best brisket and sausage ever! BBQ sauce by request only, but you won't need it. No plates. Meat served on butcher paper and napkins pulled from a hanging bathroom paper towel dispenser.

Hot rings , brisket and pork ribs are amazing...been a fan for over 25 years.

Great atmosphere. Brisket is only second to Kruez's

If you're going to make a BBQ pilgrimage, forget the Salt Lick and head out to Lockhart for Smitty's, Kreuz 's and/or Black's.

Texas Monthly left them out of the top 50 for a reason. Huge step down compared to Black's/Kreuz.

No sauce and that's the way I like it! Meat that stands up and defines itself without a cover up!

At Smitty’s they serve up real Texas barbeque : beef that gets a dry rub before getting roasted over an open wood fire pit for 4-6 hours.

If coming with a group of friends, have one person order the food, on drinks and sides an park the rest at a long table.

You have to try this place, it's famous for a reason.

Come hungry and leave happy. Amazing BBQ . Cash only .

Truly epiphanous Texas brisket , sausage and BBQ pilgrimage experience.

Hubby said the prime rib was great!

Ribs are my meat of choice when eating BBQ and Smitty's has the best in town . A favorite of all those involved in #thegreatbbqescape and should not be missed.

IF you come first timers.. bring cash.. they don't except plastic .. on my cash and checks.. ATM machine hit me up for 2 bucks!

Try the Brisket , Ribs , Pork Shoulder & Sausage - Try the Brisket - Classic Texas all the way!

Always go in through the back door. If you don't then they will know you are an out of towner.

Ribs and brisket were both excellent

Get the prime rib and pork ribs . Don't bother with sides. Cash only !

Try the prime rib . It had plenty of flavor and a nice thick crust ogre seasoning !

Great Brisket ! Sausage greasy (ask for dry) bring cash!!!

Great lunch with @KyleFlaherty and @JimStorer. Still waiting on @JeffCutler and @AaronStrout. #food #BBQ

Pork ribs are a must.

Take a stroll in to the back. Amazing spaces.

The ribs were the best - don't forget to ask for the sauce, not that the food needs it ...

Meat sweats. Get the moist brisket .

Beat BBQ in the world. Try a sampling of everything.

If they don't have forks, you know it's real Texas BBQ !

This place is BYOF (Bring Your Own Fork). They expect you to eat the meat with your hands. So wash up. They do have plastic spoons & knives.

Amazing sausage . Giggity Giggity.

The wet is the bomb!????
