Texas BBQ- Reported by 'The Chive'

[Acera]

Thought this a pretty good rundown of some places I need to visit and/or visit again.

We asked for your favorite lesser-known Texas BBQ joints and you answered! (30 Photos) : theCHIVE

Agree about Giddings City Meat Market.
And truly good, home made sausage to boot.

And same city, but not BBQ.

Just before leaving Giddings, on the left heading toward Brenham, is Taqueria Chihuahua.
Best breakfast burrito in Texas: #9, with hot sauce (red).
Just don't try to eat it and drive.

My que didn't make it!!!!÷ outrage

Giddings meat market rules! Love that place. I hear there is a place off Rayford on Houston called BBQ Godfather that's supposed to give Corkscrew a run for its money. Can't wait to investigate that claim personally.

While in the panhandle, I keep hearing radio ads for "the arrogant Texan" bbq.
I gotta go see this. And probably give 'em grief.

oh. It's a new joint in Lubbock.

Blacks > Kreuz

who wants to stand in line to pay, twice for the same meal? Once for the meat and once for the sides and drink. That's just dumb as hell

I didn't see a single properly sliced brisket in those photos. Is that the norm nowadays? Just hack the thing to pieces an inch thick and call it good? No trimming of fat at all? Cutting with the grain on the top of the brisket?

It hit most of my favorite good spots. City Market in Luling is - well, pretty damn good. I've been hearing about the Hard 8 for a while. Next time I'm up there I think it is going to get a visit.

I need to visit some of these places on my days off.

I wouldn't say a lot of those are secret, like Black's, Kreuz, Cooper's, LM's, and City Market. I mean, those ARE the ones. Others like la bbq and Pecan Lodge are pretty well known.

Some of the others I'd like to try. Didn't know about Giddings. I would also add Southside Market, Fargo's and Snow's to that list.

Is the Post Mountain BBQ in Burnet, TX on the list? I always liked their food.

Glad to see Chisholm Trail on the list. They are one of my favorite stops in Lockhart.

Yeah, I've been hitting up Fargo's quite a bit, damn good. I want to get to some of the other lesser known places on the list. A co-worker of mine that lives in Giddings swears by the meat market.

Best bang for the buck in Lockhart, and the peach cobbler is the best hands down.

I grew up in Lockhart and lived there most of my life. Still go back a couple times a month to visit family and go out to the range. Chisholm Trail BBQ is where the locals go. Black's, Kreuz, and Smitty's is where the out-of-towners go. Floyd is the owner of Chisholm Trail BBQ. He started out working for Black's when he was younger. There, he got his experience and when he was ready to open his own place, he sold his boat and opened up across the street from where it is now in the building next to McDonald's.

Thanks for the CT BBQ history lesson. I know they're packed on the weekends with locals. All those folks going to Kreuz's are getting hosed. Way too expensive, but it is a cool place to go see a couple of times.

I think the others are worth going to for the ambiance at least once, but as a regular, no way.
