We stopped here second on our barbecue journey in Lockhart
Texas. This is a huge building and only one side was open at the time we were
there. So they must be packed at other times, but this was midafternoon.
Right
away when you walk in there is a big long hall where the line forms. At the end
of the hall is the smoker room where you order and pay for your meat. The whole
place was smoky immediately when you enter.
So when we were ready to order we
went up to the meat counter and we ordered some brisket and turkey along with a
jalapeno cheddar smoked sausage link for dad and me to try. All this was served
on butcher paper with three sheets wrapped up with plastic knifes and white
bread and we were supposed to have saltines, but we didn’t get any. After you
get your meat and pay you go through the doors to the eating area where you can
buy drinks and sides. I wanted a Coke and a plastic cup for my barbecue cup
collection, but they only give you Styrofoam cups with the bottled Mexican Coke.
To get the plastic cup you had to order
a lemonade or iced tea even though the Coke cost more.
The brisket was amazing
kind of burnt on the edges and very flavorful and had a bit of fat on top. I Also
very much liked the turkey and I also typically don’t like sausage at all, but
I tried this jalapeno cheddar smoked sausage and we probably should’ve got more
of it because it was so good.
This for
food is about a simple as you can get smoked meat and bread on butcher paper,
but it was so good that that’s all you needed.
It’s a different experience and one I would highly recommend.
