There has been a lot of hype around Texas BBQ for a while, and I've been fortunate enough to try many of the well-known spots. I've also seen the rise and fall of some old and new famous BBQ places, whether from quality dropping, prices increasing, portions shrinking, or places simply not living up to the hype. Lockhart has many original and famous Texas BBQ spots, but I have to say, Barbs B Q truly stands out. I wouldn't even compare it directly with other more traditional Texas BBQ places. Yes, it is that good. Maybe because it's located in Lockhart instead of somewhere like Austin, it doesn't feel overly hyped yet, which honestly might be a good thing. This humble little shop operates with very limited hours but offers exceptional quality food. They open at 11 AM, and I arrived around 10:30 AM, but there was already a line. That tells you everything: you need to get there early. They did start letting people in a little early, which was nice. Like many great BBQ places, even if they say they close at 3 PM, there's a good chance the meat will sell out much earlier. The owner and pitmaster was super friendly and passionate. Even with a long line, she still greeted customers and had a quick conversation with each person, which was honestly impressive. As for the BBQ itself, I tried the ribs, brisket, lamb chops, sausage, green spaghetti, and pudding. Everything was perfection. Yes, I'll say it again: pure perfection, even the bread. When it was my turn, it was hard to find seating, so I ended up bringing the food home, but it was still incredibly delicious. This is BBQ on an entirely different level. My suggestion: come try this place before it goes viral and becomes a huge hype spot. I really love and cherish small local businesses like this, and I hope they keep doing things their way even after more success comes their way. read more

Our second visit to Barbs B Q somehow topped the first--which we didn't think was possible. Waiting in line turned into part of the experience. We ended up chatting with other second-timers, all of us swapping favorites and hyping up the meats like regulars. Even though Chuck wasn't out front slicing this time, the crew absolutely crushed it--things were buzzing along smoothly and the quality didn't miss a beat. We arrived at 11:30am Sunday and we got to the counter at 12:06. While in line, we found a Yeti stocked with ice-cold Lone Stars for the 21+ crowd. When we arrived at the counter, and they handed us bite-sized brisket samples while we waited. One look at that glossy, glistening brisket told you everything--you knew it was going to be insanely juicy, and it delivered. The lamb chops were a standout this time--perfectly cooked with a flavorful herbed crust and paired with a mustard-based BBQ sauce that really set them apart. We also tried the "experimental" herbalicious sausage, and wow--it needs to become permanent. Packed with flavor and totally unique. Portions were generous (again), and we walked away with plenty of leftovers--which is never a bad thing when it tastes this good. read more

If there was one word I could use to sum up my experience at Barbs BQ it would be Peak. Peak as in I would climb to the peak of a mountain to get this food in my mouth again. But alas, it's just south of Austin and so close to my home in Houston it takes everything in me not to drive there every weekend! This restaurant has me in a chokehold and I think about its greatness every day since I've gone. There is parking located right outside of the restaurant which is near a bunch of little shops so I suggest you walking off your BQ when you're finished cause you're going to leave STUFFED. Wait was about 45 minutes but I'd wait even longer if I needed to. Come with friends so you don't feel guilty buying one of everything cause you gotta try it all. I cannot stress this enough how phenomenal this place is. The prices are not egregious and the flavors hit you like a train. The cherry on top is that it's woman owned by someone from Brownsville. Brisket 5/5- I am a super fan of fatty juicy brisket and this brisket ticks all my boxes. Pork ribs 5/5- I'm not a super fan of pork ribs but this just made me a believer. Cheese jalapeño sausage 5/5- I've never had sausage with this much cheese and flavor bursting from it in my life. I usually have one bite of sausage but this one kept me coming back for more and more. Lamb chops 5/5- Yes you read that correctly. Again, I am not a lamb fan as I find it to be too gamey but this one is not that at all. In fact, it's juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection! So juicy and tender you gotta try it. Turkey 4/5- You can see in the photo how flavorful this turkey is! Charro beans 5/5- I never in my days thought black beans would be good in charro beans but I couldn't be more wrong. They even got the weenies in there! Sooooo good do not skip this cause these are LOADED. Potato salad 3/5- I've simply had better potato salad. It's not bad at all but it's the most lack luster thing I had the whole meal. GREEN SPAGHETTI 10/5- Yes I realize it looks strange but trust me you're going to love it. Seeing this offered and finding out homegirl is from Brownsville made me feel something because my family has roots there. The spaghetti is green because of the poblanos used to make the sauce. This one is so creamy and spiced so well it's just perfection. As good as it can get. House made pickles 5/5 - They saw us running through these pickles and brought us more throughout the meal. It doesn't get better than this. If I could buy a jar I WOULD! If you want to experience peak, go to Barbs BQ. read more

Best BBQ I have ever had in my life, I don't think I can go back to eating regular bbq after this. The hype is real! My friend has been trying to take me here for years! We came on Sunday morning, arrived at about 11:30 am, and there was already a line around the corner. The line was moving slowly, but an employee was giving us live updates as the meats were being sold. Letting us know how much inventory was available. It's crazy how fast their meats sell! We were nervous when we heard they were almost sold out of the cuts we wanted to try, but luckily we were able to get everything we wanted. As we were ordering, I saw the owner herself cutting up the brisket and plating the trays. Working hard, and I love to see it! We got a great variety of meats and sides, so I will break em down for you -Lambchops: Delicious, very aromatic, cooked perfectly, not too fatty (employee suggested to eat this first) -Brisket: TENDERSISM gah, best briskey I have ever had -Ribs: Loved the sauce on this -Turkey: Good turkey, a lot of people were ordering turkey, and I see why -Jalapeno and cheese sausage: Omg, the cheese was oozing out, so yummy -Potato Salad: Solid, I liked it -Charro Beans: Black charro beans? I'm here for it. And they loaded the beans with weenies! love that GREEN SPAGHETTI: MY FAV YOU MUST TRY! It was creamy and delicious, not too spicy either -Cinnamon swirl bread: Nice change from your typical white bread, I liked it! It gives it an interesting twist -Pickles: They make their pickles in-house. If you are a pickle lover, ask for extra! They are delicious The inside is small but cute. Highly suggest getting here early if you want to get certain meats or find a seat. There are indoor and a couple of outdoor seats. The inside has really cool merch! I ended up buying a t-shirt. The staff is so friendly, oh my goodness, I felt like I was eating a friend's house. I love the energy, I love the food, I WILL BE BACK! read more

Took a day trip to Austin from the Houston Area and decided to check Barbs BQ off the list due to their Texas Monthly and Bon Appetit Accolades. We weren't disappointed. We arrived about 10:15 on a Saturday morning and there was probably 25 people ahead of us in line. As other reviewers have mentioned, once they open at 11, the line moves relatively slowly. But the staff is so friendly throughout the entire experience, even before when they go over the menu, specials and helpful hints for the ordering process with the crowd waiting in line. It took us about 1 hour to make it up to the counter to order directly from the Pitmaster Chuck. She was extremely friendly and I was really impressed with how she carefully created our platter of smoked meats. She was purposeful in placing each cut of meat in certain spots and making the platter look like artwork. Never experienced that in a BBQ restaurant before. The restaurant is pretty small as far as seating goes and it was too brisk to try to sit outside. My wife and I happened to get our food when there was no place left to sit. The staff was very helpful though and they found us a comfortable place to be as a table that had been eating the entire hour we were in line was finally getting ready to leave. So, maybe a 3 minute wait for the table. Now we finally get to eat the food - We ordered moist brisket, ribs, herb sausage, turkey, and they had a special grilled and marinated chicken thigh available. Our sides were the signature green spaghetti and potato salad and we got a strawberry cheesecake cobbler for dessert. A bunch of food. The food was the star of the show. Great brisket, very tasty ribs and ribs aren't normally my favorite smoked meat. The lime zest they garnished the ribs with was unique, and a great addition. The turkey may have been the best smoked turkey I've ever had and I could have eaten a dozen of the chicken thigh special. The only meat I wouldn't get again was the sausage. This might be because my palate has changed because I'm rarely a fan of BBQ joint sausage these days. The green (poblano) spaghetti met did not disappoint and the potato salad was good if not the most memorable. But between the brisket, turkey, ribs, chicken thigh and the green spaghetti we definitely had us a 5 star BBQ meal. Great job Chuck and the team!!! read more

Barbs B Q - 5 meats - brisket, sausage, ribs, turkey and chicken thigh along with green spaghetti and potato salad - Barbeque Near Me - Lockhart, Texas

FML. Why didn't i make it here sooner? Literally kicking myself. Showed up on a cold Saturday and there was a small line; it took about 45 minutes to get through it. Worth the wait? That and more! I'd stand in that line again for the scrumptious meats and sides. Really unequalled. Ordered a nice spread of brisket, both moist and lean, pork ribs, turkey, sausage - both with and without chile, the incredible sides: potato salad and green spaghetti and for good measure, they threw in a chicken thigh for free. Now, we weren't going eat all that in one sitting so we also grabbed a few to-go boxes. I dont know where to begin as it's no hype. This is the real deal. Both briskets were juicy and melted in your mouth, with that salt and pepper bringing all the goodness out. The ribs were just stupidly mind-blowing; the last time I had ribs anywhere close to this good was like 15 years ago after LA Barbecue had just opened. The turkey was moist and so tender. The sausages, my god, how did they make these incredible treats? And the sides? Jesus F christ. Unparalleled! The green spaghetti and potato salad were to die for. And the staff? So friendly and approachable. If we get invaded by aliens who want to destroy our world for lack of culture, they will change their minds after eating here. There's reasons why Barbs B Q has won so many accolades, you just gotta try them yourself. read more

Barbs B Q - Ribs, turkey, moist and lean brisket, sausage, both chile and with spices, green spaghetti and potato salad. - Barbeque Near Me - Lockhart, Texas

Barbs lives up to its accolades. Unique and creative dishes that compliment tried and true, traditional BBQ. The sides were as good as the main course. It's worth the wait, if there's a line. Delicious down to the bone. I cannot thank the owner enough. You provide the best service of any restaurant I've ever reviewed. We felt welcome, swept away by your signature flavors, and grateful that your food exists. You're one in a million! read more

I had read a lot about Barb's and welcomed the chance to try it during our Austin-area barbecue safari. A line started forming an hour before they opened, and although we were about 20th in line, the line crawled very slowly. It took an hour to get food. This is the one drawback to Barb's The food was delicious. We ordered: --Ribs: tender, moist, flavorful --Brisket: moist --Lamb chop: Perhaps the best lamb chop I've ever eaten. Seating in the restaurant is limited. Barb and her team were very friendly and helpful. Definitely one of the top 3 joints we visited on our barbecue safari. read more

I've been wanting to checkout Barb's for awhile so we stopped on the way to Corpus on Friday. It was less crowded than expected but probably because the bbqfest was two days later. We got there at 10:30 and were about 20 in the line. We got our food at 11:30 and got to briefly meet the owner Chuck as she was at the main/chopping location. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming before, during, and until we left. We decided to get the Tray for two to make it easy and because it was a good deal and included everything we wanted, plus some. Its 1/2 lb of each turkey, brisket, and pork ribs, with 2 sides and a dessert. We got the green spaghetti and upgraded to a bigger size and then the pork stew and the cobbler. The pork ribs, pork stew, and cobbler are spectacular. Brisket/turkey/green spaghetti are pretty good, in my opinion. The green spaghetti was actually really good leftover too, better than fresh. The only thing I didn't really care for was the sauce. Its sweet and I didn't care for the flavors either. It's in my top 10 and I'd like to come back and try the beef rib sometime when they have it. read more

Solid 4 from my experience on a Friday. Arrived at 10:30 (28th in line), set foot inside at 11:05 and took almost an hour to get my food. To be fair, lots of people were taking a ton of pics / video which slowed the line down. The BBQ is solid, I appreciate the cinnamon bread & green (Mom's) spaghetti, but I'm not sure if it's worth the drive from Austin + the wait when there are plenty of BBQ options nearby. read more

This was my first time in the "BBQ Capital of Texas." Some of the oldest barbecue joints were established in Lockhart. Their traditional BBQ joints are iconic, but they aren't innovating. They know what they're doing works, so they continue pushing the same old-school barbecue, slowly getting lost in time as these new cats in Austin, in DFW, and all over the great state of Texas keep doing something new and elevating what makes barbecue special. For Lockhart itself, Barbs B Q feels like the new heavyweight breaking through in the BBQ Capital. Barbs is located in the middle of downtown Lockhart. I arrived at 10:30 with a book in my hand as I waited for their 11:00 opening. There was a decent line of people ahead of me, but nothing too scary. Before the place opened, two nice employees came outside, introduced themselves, and talked about how the line was going to move as well as shared some recommendations. They also had a cooler of beer and a water dispenser. The line at Barbs moves very slow. Slower than most joints I've been to thus far, but once you start moving through the line, it makes sense. From Chuck, the pit master, to the rest of the staff, everyone is super chatty and friendly, and it really makes you feel special in the line when most places are trying to push you through to help move their line more efficiently. Chuck seems grateful to every person coming in and thanked me (some random guy) for coming to try Barbs B Q. Now for the food. Brisket: I wasn't fully sold on my first piece, but once the juicier second piece landed in my mouth, it was some of the best BBQ I had tasted. It is seasoned so flavorfully, and it's absolutely immaculate on the tongue. Sausage: Their fajita sausage link is stuffed full of jalapeños and cheese. While it is pretty similar to a lot of basic jalapeño cheddar links I've had, this one happens to take the cake at being the best of its iteration. I don't know how you make jalapeño cheddar have this much of a kick and still be so sweet and enjoyable. Chuck did warn my white ass that it would be spicy, and she wasn't wrong, but I handled it. I'm not a coward. Lamb Chopis: I would never think to try lamb chops at a barbecue joint, but after countless recommendations (one from the pitmaster of San Antonio's Reese Bros), I did what had to be done. It's so good. It's soooooo good. I don't know who needs to hear this to try it, but if they have any when you go (yes, you random Yelper), order it. It's pricier than any other cut on their menu, but even the two lamb chopis I had took the cake. This was easily the best thing I had at Barbs, and I was impressed by everything. Green Spaghetti: My buddy told me if I didn't get the green spaghetti, he would be disappointed in me. I find green spaghetti so fascinating because first of all, spaghetti shouldn't be green, and second of all, it is so creamy that you would expect it to be mild and help cool you down from the spices of the sausage link. Instead, its mild kick does nothing to save you, but you can't stop eating it. The pasta is cooked pretty al dente, so it's not too soft. Very impressive. Pork Stew: Another recommendation from my buddy. The calabacita con puerco on top of the white rice with added corn is super tasty and was crushed by yours truly. Cinnamon Bread: Maybe the most hyped item on my tray was Barbs B Q's homemade cinnamon swirl bread. No potato rolls here. No white bread here. A true magical experience eating these slices. It's decently subtle, not making the bread feel like a dessert versus a slice of bread, but it's nonetheless super tasty, and I could find myself buying a full loaf of this to take home with me. Barbs is super impressive and makes the classics in the BBQ Capital look like pop-up shops in comparison. RIYL: Sonic the Hedgehog or Texas BBQ. Or both!! read more

No review is actually needed as the hype and public knowledge is vast and wide... but... YES, the line is absolutely worth the wait. Someone is right there clearing seats, making sure you're hydrated outside while you wait, and moving things along seamlessly. Clean, bright, and welcoming! We arrived at 12:30 and waited about 45 minutes in line. Try everything, seriously, there are no wrong choices. Sauce was the best I've had in Texas, and note they zest a little lime over top your BBQ before handing it over in its majestic glory. Don't forget to order bread! You're welcome LOL. read more

After having first set foot at Barbs almost a year and a half ago, I can't believe I haven't reviewed this restaurant. I read about a really great new Lockhart barbecue place in the Statesman and determined I needed to make the trek down. In the home of Texas barbecue with many able competitors, it really means a lot to be recognized. I was not disappointed. I managed to get into the line early enough on a Saturday morning to be able to order what I wanted as the supplies run out pretty quickly here. I love the ribs and brisket the best, both moist and deliciously decadent, but the green "spaghett" is a must have. Based on a recipe from the Valley, it's a tasty spaghetti pasta doused in a flavorful pepper cream sauce (Poblanos I think). The restaurant has some seating but it's not huge. The last time I was there, a television video crew was interviewing patrons and staff. Barbs B Q has become famous as one of the best new American restaurants (New York Times) and is listed in the Michelin Guide. If you want to eat here, you have to come early on the weekend or you may miss out. Highly recommended. read more

Did all the classics and a lot of the top new bbq spots. We also drove further south to Burnt Bean (Texas monthly No1)...Barbs smoked them (figuratively and literally). Barbs is top tier. Best of the best. Still in shock. If I had more time, I'd go back again and again. If I was on death row, I'd ask for barbs. read more

I wanted to get it to go or buy a bottle to take home, yes, it was that good. The brisket was moist and so flavorful. The green spaghetti? So worth it. It had a strong broccoli flavor and it paired so well with the chopped brisket. I went and tried blacks bbq and smittys, i gotta say, barbs was my favorite by far.

Barbs B Q - Chopped brisket and green spaghetti - Barbeque Near Me - Lockhart, Texas

Driving around Texas visiting the places on the Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ. 1st stop on a Friday was Barbs B Q in Lockhart Texas. This town is also known as BBQ capital of Texas. Parking was a bit tricky here as the streets are under construction and a few streets are one way. But most parking is free. We arrived at 10:45am and we were around 5th in line, not bad. They have a cooler outside with FREE Lone Star Beer, nice on a hot Texas day. They opened the doors at 11am. I trusted husband and son to do the ordering. We got the Tray for Two which is 1/2 LB of brisket, 1/2 LB of pork ribs, 1/2 LB of turkey, 2 sides and dessert for $57.00. We then added sausage, some chicken and yes we got the cinnamon bread. Brisket was moist, beautiful smoke ring, full of flavor that makes you want more. Pork ribs were tender, good bite, lightly smelled led, a bit sweet. Turkey was moist, juicy light smoke best turkey we have had yet. Sausage was full of delicious flavors. Chicken was the Friday special which was full of deliciousness, spicy and made us want more. GREEN SPAGHETT IN A CREAMY ROASTED POBLANO SAUCE is different in a delicious way with a spicy bite. POTATO SALAD is a hearty southern classic full of great flavors. Dessert was cobbler which was full of fruit. And the cinnamon bread is a delicious treat to give your mouth a break from the proteins, So you wait in line to order. You order your proteins first, then sides. The employees are all smiles and full of cheer. You can tell that the people working here enjoy their job as it flows into the food they make. Inside is a small area to sit. The tables are long so make friends with people and share tables, they also have a few tables outside. I highly recommend this BBQ place as the food is as great as the people. read more

TLDR: Barbs B Q serves up one of the best overall Texas barbecue experiences in the state. Absolutely destination worthy, five star barbecue. Overview: Barbs B Q has been one of the most talked about somewhat recent openings in Texas, and for good reason. The trio of Chuck Charnichart, Haley Conlin, and Alexis Tovias took the leap into Lockhart with fresh ideas, from serrano glazed ribs kissed with lime zest to a now signature green spaghetti that channels home cooking from the Rio Grande Valley. They set out to make a welcoming space, and the energy matches the buzz. They have made quite the splash already, having been featured in the 2025 edition of Texas Monthly's Top 50 BBQ Joints. During my visit, I arrived at 7:30 am with no line on a quiet Saturday and was the first in line. Staff brought out complimentary cold brew around mid morning, then switched to beer at 10:30. By the 11 am opening there were roughly 30 to 40 people waiting, a relaxed scene for the Barbecue Capital of Texas. Service was joyful and on point. The team runs the small space smoothly, helps guests find seats, and never stops smiling. I was very impressed with the experience. Food: I went all in and shared a beef rib, plus slices of brisket, Molotov pork ribs, a jalapeño cheddar link, a lamb chop, green spaghetti, potato salad, a pile of the house bread, and an upside down pineapple cobbler with cherries. The brisket was a standout, deeply beefy and smoky with a pepper forward bark. It was tender and juicy in both lean and fatty cuts. The beef rib matched that level: luscious and yielding with every bite. The Molotov pork ribs stole the show: tender and dripping with a light sweetness from the serrano syrup balanced by bright lime zest that brought the smoke to life. The jalapeño cheddar sausage had just the right warmth, a creamy pop from the cheese, and was both well seasoned and moist. The lamb chop was tender with a bold mix of thyme and rosemary that gave the mild meat a fragrant lift. The pickled cucumbers and onions worked as a perfect reset between bites. The green spaghetti was comfort in a bowl, a creamy poblano, jalapeño, and cilantro sauce with gentle heat and a radiant color. The potato salad felt fresh and light, with celery and beets and a quiet mustard note. Also, do not skip the bread, a soft cinnamon swirl that somehow pairs beautifully with the meats. For dessert, the pineapple cobbler delivered a craggy sugary crunch and a sweet but restrained finish that capped the tray perfectly. At the time of my visit, brisket is $38/lb, pork ribs are $34/lb, jalapeño cheddar sausage is $8/link, beef ribs are $40/lb, sides are $7/serving, desserts are $8/serving, and bread is $0.75/slice. The prices are in line with the premier barbecue places in Texas. However, it is 100% worth it. Final Thoughts: Between the thoughtful hospitality and a menu that refreshes the building blocks of Texas barbecue, Barbs B Q is destination worthy. I would happily drive for this and I am calling it as it is: five out of five. It sits comfortably among the very best in the state and fully earns the hype. read more

Lockhart is the BBQ capital of Texas and it's thrilling to have a girl boss rule them all! Barbs B Q is such a unique experience. First off, the decor! I felt so at home with the splashes of girly pink, anime themed merchandise, and Sonic the Hedgehog. This is someone who knows what they like! I (wrongly!) assumed the restaurant was named after the owner/pitmaster. After all, aren't most bbq places named after the owner (Franklins, Terry Blacks...). I recognized her from the magazine cover in the restaurant and asked if she was Barb. She grinned and replied that she's the O.G. I later learned her name is Chuck. Doh! The food is amazing! We ordered the tray for two which was enough to feed the three of us. For your sides, I highly recommend the green spaghetti and pork stew! The pork stew had rice, corn squash and pork. So delicious! The turkey was moist and beef brisket was perfectly seasoned. Their bbq sauce is unique. Can't describe it but it's not your typical bbq sauce. read more

Amazing!!! I came here early on a Friday with friends. Arrived 2 hours before they opened and was second in line. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The vibe is awesome. No other BBQ joint has the personalized interaction that you get here. They found a way to slow it down so you get a one on one conversation when you order. This makes the experience unique and something I appreciated. Food was amazing. I especially liked the spices and flavors added to the meats. I want to return as soon as possible read more

Barbs B Q - Barbeque Near Me - Lockhart, Texas

If you told me I'd drive to Lockhart at sunrise to eat green spaghetti and lamb, I'd say you've been sniffin' mesquite too long. But here we are. Full, happy, and questioning every brisket-based decision I've ever made. TL;DR: Barbs B Q ain't playin' around. Lamb chops are spiritual. Green spaghetti is some sort of smoked Tex-Mex sorcery. I didn't get a bite of dessert. This was stop #30 on the passport and may have altered my BBQ belief system. Saturday morning hit like a freight train of smoky dreams. My oldest daughter, the passenger princess of this particular meat mission, jumped in the pickup with me and we made the pilgrimage to Lockhart, Texas BBQ HQ. Why? Because I needed stamp #30 in my Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ passport, and Barbs B Q was calling louder than a coyote on a caffeine bender. We rolled into town at 9:30 AM. The line was already curling around the building like a smoked sausage on a hot pit, but we came prepared. Chairs unfolded. Shade claimed. I had my eyes on the lamb chops like a hawk at a tailgate. At 10:30 sharp, out comes the crew; smiling, chatting, telling us about the menu, the sides, and the specials like we were long-lost cousins at a family reunion. One of the staff even gave us the insider scoop: "Get the green spaghett and don't skip dessert." Challenge accepted. By 11:30 we were at the counter, and there stood Chuck (and you thought her name was Barb), cool as a brisket queen in command. While she masterfully sliced brisket for the folks ahead, I locked in my target. "Two lamb chops, please" I said. She smiled and tossed in a bonus chop like a BBQ fairy godmother. Respect. We also grabbed a bucket size of green spaghett, a choco pudding with strawberries, and some swirl bread that looked like it came from a dessert dream baked inside a meat fantasy. The lamb? Perfectly rosy, deeply seasoned, kissed by smoke and herbs. Absolutely my favorite! But let's talk about that green spaghett. I don't know what was in it, creamy poblano? jalapeño wizardry? but it was rich, slightly spicy, and absolutely addictive. When I told my wife about it she said, "Don't come home without some." I didn't. Now, about the dessert. I thought I ordered a chocolate pudding with strawberries for us to share. But my daughter, BBQ road trip co-pilot and dessert bandit, took one bite, declared it "the best," and stashed the rest for the drive home. I was left holding a spoon and a memory. She says it was life-changing. I'll never know. We sat family-style next to new BBQ brethren, swapping stories and sauce preferences. It's not just a meal at Barbs B Q, it's an encounter. A barbecue experience worthy of its place on the square in the most sacred smoke-soaked town in Texas. Merch? Purchased. Stamp? Inked. Heart? Full. Barbs B Q isn't just a must-visit, it's a must-repeat. Between the masterfully smoked lamb, spicy green noodles, and dessert that disappears faster than my patience in I-35 traffic, this one's cemented in the top tier. That was stamp #30. Twenty left to glory. My belt might not make it, but my soul's all-in. Final Dad Line: Next time I'm ordering two desserts, one for the ride home, and one to defend with my life. read more

You get free coffee and beer, depending on when you get up there to wait in line, and they are great about explaining the process while you're standing outside. Everything is delicious. I wish this place was closer to me! read more

Waited 2 hours in line and it was all worth the wait! Had brisket, pork ribs, turkey, sausage, corn bread and the famous green spaghetti! Everyone was very welcoming and answered all my questions! Oh and don't forget the sauce! FYI limited seating inside. read more

Man, did this place NOT disappoint. I am so excited to have finally made it out to try BarbsBQ. We got there about an hour before opening and the line wasn't so bad, we were about 10th in line? Everything was moving quick and the wait didn't feel bad at all. Upon getting in the inside we were able to see all of the merch and menu before ordering. Chuck the pit master was great! Was able to answer all questions I had about the food. I ordered the tray for two which had 1/2lb of brisket, 1/2 of ribs, 1/4 of turkey, 2 8oz sides (any) and 1 dessert. I also added, cheese fajita sausage, a piece of chicken, a lamb chop and an extra dessert. All of that plus 2 drinks, I paid $120, to me that wasn't a bad price at all! Everything was worth it and will for sure be coming back. Let's support these wonderful women as they make great BBQ, that rivals many places. Get there at an appropriate time so you can get a little of everything. For sure will be having others come along next time! Also, for those who care, they have two singular restrooms! I know some people care about that lol. read more

Easy 5 stars for me! We got in line around 10 AM on a Saturday and ordered around noon. We got the pork ribs, brisket, lamb chop, and green spaghetti. The lamb chop is one of best items I've ever had at a barbecue joint, but they ran out right behind us so it will require an early arrival. The ribs with lime zest on top were uniquely good as well. I enjoyed the brisket but there's plenty of good brisket around and I felt the bark here was overly salty after a few bites. I was skeptical of the green spaghetti but it's a must try! I also enjoyed my cucumber lemonade. Service was truly as good as you could ask for, with a runner to help those in line and find people tables. If you've never been, it's worth the line! read more

Barbs B Q - Ribs, brisket, lamb chop - Barbeque Near Me - Lockhart, Texas

Drove 2 and half hours from Houston to try this place. Absolutely worth it. The brisket was perfect. The pork ribs were delicious and unique. Tried the regular jalapeño and cheese sausage as well as the herbalicous sausage. The green spaghetti lived up to the hype. The place is small, the seating is limited, but the vibe is great. We got there around 10:30 on a Friday morning. Line wasn't too long and they had coffee available. Once the door opened at 11, it only took about 20 to get to the counter. The meats are sliced to order. The ribs got a whole treatment once on the tray. The sides are dished up and garnished. It doesn't have old timey vibe with the squeaky wood floors, and some old grizzled cowboy tending the pit. It's more on the modern side, but still keeping to Texas barbecue standards. I'd make the trip again. read more

Barbs B Q - Brisket, ribs, both sausages, the pork stew, potato salad, bean, and the green spaghetti. Absolutely worth it. - Barbeque Near Me - Lockhart, Texas

Currently open Saturday and Sunday at starting at 11am. There will be a line. As of November 16, 2024, the line wraps just slightly around the corner. On that day, the beef ribs and lamb chops sold out within an hour of opening. However, they still have the rest of their items on the menu. We arrived in line at 11:30am, just around the corner. We obtained a Tray for Two plus a sausage at 12:44pm, so roughly a 1hr and 15 minute wait time from around the corner. Water is offered to patrons in line. Today, Pork Stew substituted the Slaw, and Smoked Pecan Cobbler replaced the Concha Pudding. Seating: 5 long rectangular tables. Each table seats about 8 people on metal stools. Make friends and rub elbows with others. A bit of seating also exists outside. Capacity within the restaurant is currently limited to 50 people. Bathroom: Pink lighting, a mirror that telling you that you're hot stuff, with an automated soap dispenser cozy with the paper towel trash can. Decor: Sonic the Hedgehog, black and white pets, hearts, framed articles and awards, pink and black Barbs B Q T-shirts, QR code menu. Sold out sign by the entrance indicates what is no longer available for the day. Ordering experience: a small welcoming piece of their amazing brisket. Order what you'd like. We opted for the Tray for Two. Engage in a friendly convo with owner and pitmaster Chuck while you watch her quickly prep the meat in your meal with care. She's dashingly fast, quick, and precise with the knife, and willing for a quick photo opt. Very smooth operation. Pork Stew: Pork, rice, corn, squash. Pretty yummy comfort food. Green Spaghetti: Yes, order it. Roasted poblanos, cilantro, jalapeño, cream cheese, sour cream, milk, blended. In and around spaghetti. Smoked Pecan Cobbler: Warm, nutty, slight chew. Comes with a light airy sweet whipped cream. Easy to finish up. Molotov Pork Ribs: I could eat more of these. Coated with a background spice sauce with a front of intense lime and lime zest. Great texture, flavorful meat, not just the sauce. Sausage: This was actually on the pretty salty side. Has green stuff and cheese? within. You get a pretty long sliced link. Brisket: Uniform, tender, flavorful. Consistent with the sample given to you at the counter. I haven't had much BBQ brisket before; this one definitely did not disappoint. No bland parts and not dry and not excessively fatty. It's definitely made with a lot of love and care. Turkey: Succulent, tender, with an amazing flavor from the herby stuff. Never really had turkey with this kind of flavor. Totally dig the Pork Ribs, Turkey, Green Spaghetti, and Brisket. Need to try the Beef Ribs and Lamb chops next time. Also want to try their Slaw. read more

One of the trays of bbq I think back and drool about is my last visit to Barbs. I came early today and waiting in line as the whole line until about 1hr to open. Even tho I might not had needed to be THIS early, I don't regret it at all. Today I got All the meats plus 1. Brisket, turkey, ribs, sausage, lamb chops, chicken, and 1 experimental sausage. The brisket here. The flat beats out so many slices of point I think back on tasting around the US. The point here is mind blowing but the lean cut has no business being this good. There is a slight sweetness to the bark that I enjoyed. That or some of the rib glaze got in it hahaha actually thus probably it. Because they are some my favorite of all time. Just the ribs are cooks perfectly. The chili sweet glaze on top of that . . . Perfect. Then the lime zest on top of that. What is above perfect? Godly. What I love about the lamb and turkey is they have a really herby crust. Very refreshing bite each time. Speaking of, the experimental sausage was very herby as well. A really forward flavor of green onions among the various greens. Made me feel like I was eating a salad in meat form lol. Whatever that means but that's how I feel. It had a high water content but the juices kept my mouth watery between salty bites. I got this sausage for free and said she is still working on it but I would totally pay money for it. The green spaghett is a total must. A creamy sauce with the wonderful poblano peppers a slight tingle of spiciness that envelops the noodles. The pork stew that I might crave every time I'm sick and want something to warm me up. It's like a warm blanket at your childhood home. Oh and the choco pudding. The Cookie crumble on top adds another element of sweet and salty with a nice crunchy texture from the bits of cookies and pretzels. And the choco pudding is this custard that is not too sweet with a couple bitter notes from the cocoa. It was so good I had to get another but with strawberries instead so I re-waited in line. I preferred the cookie crumble but walking around Lockhart while eating this pudding felt wonderfully relaxing and refreshing with the slices of fruit after that meal. read more

We waited in line starting at 10. Once the line started moving it was fairly quick. We were concerned about seating, but the tables were cleaned and people shared tables to accommodate the crowd. The bathroom was super clean and adorable. Everything was excellent. I could almost stop there. The lime zest finishing on the pork ribs was a nice flavor bonus. The green spaghetti was delicious with a slight hint of heat. The sausage and brisket was fabulous. Special shout out to the pecan cobbler. It was the best cobbler I've ever had. Full stop. I would go back just for that. read more

Barb's B Q had been recommended to me by quite a few people so I had to make the drive from Austin to try it out. I'm a little bit of a barbecue snob and have high expectations but Barb's B Q still managed to impress me with the flavor and texture of the meats, creativity with the sides, and fantastic service! I arrived at 9:05 am on a Saturday and was second line so I had my food and was seated within 10 minutes after they opened at 11:00. FAST FACTS: *Parking - nearby lots and street parking available *Online ordering - not available *Only open Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 am until sold out SERVICE - All of the workers were extremely welcoming, pleasant, and conversational! Workers also stopped by the table to clear off our tray just as we finished. PRICING - The total was $100.67 after tax ($7.67) but before tip for the "Tray for Two" ($55), 2 sausages ($8 each), a lamb chopis ($10), and a pint of green spaghetti ($12). BBQ is going to be expensive, especially in Texas at popular joints, but overall I felt like it was worth the price! The "Tray for Two" included 1/2 lb of brisket (3 slices), 1/2 lb of molotov pork ribs (2 ribs), 1/4 lb of turkey (4 slices), two sides, and a dessert. If you're two normal people, this is more than enough food! But, if you're wanting to ball out (especially after waiting in line), you might want to order some additional items... I highly recommend the sausage! BRISKET (9/10) - This ranks in the top 5 of brisket I've had. One of the pieces was fatty and two of the pieces were lean... the fatty brisket was PHENOMENAL and the lean was okay (but that's to be expected). The bark had a good amount of seasoning but was more on the salty side than peppery side. It was incredibly juicy and flavorful! This is a must order! MOLOTOV PORK RIBS (8/10) - Ribs are never my favorite but these were some of the better ribs I've had. The seasoning was phenomenal and they zested fresh lime on top which really elevated the overall flavor. The meat was mostly tender but there were some bites on the outside that were a little tough. Still, I definitely recommend ordering these! TURKEY (10/10) - I think this is some of the best turkey I've ever had! Turkey is never going to be the star of the show but Barb's somehow made this turkey so moist, tender, and perfectly seasoned. I definitely recommend ordering some, even if you usually skip turkey at BBQ joints! FAJITA SAUSAGE (9/10) - The texture on the sausage was exceptional... it had a casing that snapped with each bite but it also was soft and falling apart on the inside (which I love). I didn't get a strong "fajita" flavor... more so just jalapeño and cheese but I definitely recommend ordering this! LAMB CHOPIS (6/10) - This is the one item that didn't blow me away and I don't think I'd order this again. I heard someone else in line raving about it so I gave it a try but it was just okay. The seasoning was delicious but the actual lamb was chewy and kind of dry (it looked moist at the beginning but quickly dried up). It just wasn't worth the stomach space. GREEN SPAGHETTI (10/10) - Not only is this a must-order, but I recommend ordering a larger size than you think you need because it's ADDICTING! This is such a unique side option but it works well with BBQ because it's easy to eat (barely any chewing required). It's super creamy and goes well with all the savory meats. I'd come back just for this! CHARRO BEANS (8/10) - Most bean side dishes are forgettable but I felt like these were more unique and held their own. The cheese, bacon pieces, and tiny sausage slices really elevate the black beans. It's a good side option! PORK STEW (8/10) - This replaced the slaw on the particular day I visited... it was another unique side option which I appreciated. The pork was tender and the sauce was flavorful. The corn and squash pieces make you feel somewhat less guilty about indulging on everything else. CHOCO PUDDING (9/10) - This isn't a dessert I'd normally order but this was the perfect end cap! The chocolate pudding has a slight cinnamon flavor which was delicious and the salty cookie crumbles on top with the pretzel pieces added a great texture. I'd order this again! I had heard great things about Barb's B Q so I had high expectations and was very excited to try it out... I'm happy to report that I was still blown away! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area and I'll recommend it to others passing through Lockhart but also those willing to make the commute just for BBQ because it's absolutely worth it! read more

Barbs B Q: A Smokin' Star Rises in Lockhart I recently had the pleasure of visiting Barbs B Q in downtown Lockhart, a place that has quickly asserted itself among the titans of Texas barbecue. This establishment isn't just serving great food; it's delivering an experience, which is why it's a well-deserved Texas Monthly 50 Top BBQ award winner, if not in the top 10. Located right on the square, the venue is relatively small, which only adds to its charm and the urgency of getting there early. Speaking of which, be prepared for a substantial wait--the line started forming around 10:00 AM on a Saturday! They show genuine hospitality, though, by offering free coffee and beer to those waiting, a thoughtful touch that eases the patience required. Pitmaster Chuck Charnichart and her small team are clearly running a tight ship, proving that quality triumphs over capacity. Barbs B Q keeps its menu short and simple, focusing on the traditional Texas Trinity with the unique addition of lamb chops. The culinary artistry on display confirms why they were a 2024 James Beard Award finalist for Best New Restaurant and received recognition from the Michelin Guide (including a Bib Gourmand). The Meats: A Masterclass in Smoke The barbecue here is truly outstanding, starting with the star: * Brisket: Without a doubt, this is the best brisket I've tasted in a long time. It was heavenly. The bark was perfect, and the tenderness was flawless in both the lean and moist cuts. This brisket easily deserves to be in the Top 10 of all-time. * Molotov Ribs: These were a fantastic departure from the norm, offering a nice Asian flavor profile. The glaze was great, the bark was perfect, and they had the ideal bite and separation from the bone. * Jalapeño and Cheddar Sausage: Excellent texture from the double grind, with the cheese oozing out beautifully and a satisfying casing snap. The heat level was just enough to add a pleasant kick without overwhelming the flavor. * Lamb Chops: The meat itself was good, cooked nicely. However, the spice rub used was not to my personal taste, mainly because I am not a fan of thyme. (A personal preference, not a reflection on the quality of the cook.) The Sides: Unexpected Culinary Gems Barbs B Q shines by offering creative and unique sides that elevate the entire plate: * Green Spaghetti: This was creamy goodness! The spaghetti is mixed with a rich, creamy roasted poblano sauce that delivers nice, unique, and satisfying flavors. * Pork Stew with Calabacita and Corn: Served over rice, this dish was a burst of flavor. It had wonderful spicy notes balanced perfectly with the corn and squash, all tied together by an excellent cumin flavoring. Final Verdict I would highly recommend Barbs B Q. Pitmaster Charnichart and her team are producing world-class barbecue and sides that stand out even in a town famous for its smokehouses. They truly deserve their place in Lockhart alongside all the other iconic BBQ destinations. read more

Barbs B Q - Barbeque Near Me - Lockhart, Texas

This place is amazing. We got there around 2 PM on a Saturday and they were starting to run low on a few items. The brisket was moist, pork ribs tender and the sausage was absolutely amazing. Their green spaghetti is out of this world. It is in a green poblano Chile sauce. The staff was super nice and the price was very reasonable for the quality and amount of food. Would highly recommend if you are in the Austin area.b read more

Barbs B Q - Brisket, sausage, pork ribs, turkey, potato salad and green spaghetti. - Barbeque Near Me - Lockhart, Texas

I texted a friend to see what he was up to one morning and he sent me a pic of Barb's sign. I asked if he could bring some back to town and he brought back a mountain of BBQ. You can read everyone else fawning over how good the meat is (it is excellent). I'm going to tell you the only thing you need to know - green spaghetti. It didn't look good to me and I turned my nose up to it until my buddy finally goaded me into trying it. Let the kids think what they will while you inhale all of it. It's awesome. Barb's is awesome. If I stood in line for it after a 90 minute drive, it's unclear if I would feel the same. I'll have to go get some more of that green spaghetti to find out. read more

I'll start off with the one con I have of this place. It's too far away from my house! But I suppose I should be happy that it's over 1300 miles away otherwise I'll be there every weekend! I was born in TX but grew up in CA and the downside is that there's really no "can't miss 'que" here in California. So whenever I visit my home state, you bet your bottom dollar I'm doing bbq crawls each time. And this past month, I have found my new favorite spot. Barbs. I first heard about Chuck when I was watching documentaries of Goldee's on YouTube as she was the pitmaster there. Once I found out that she left and joined up with two other women to open up their own place, I knew I had to make a trip out. And this past month, I was finally able to try it. I was scared that I may have overhyped the place in my mind after seeing the James Beard nomination and the Bon Appetite award, but it STILL exceeded expectations. Chuck and her staff are absolutely wonderful. Samples are offered up front to give you a taste of what's to come. The guy ringing me up was friendly and even remembered me 2 weeks later, gave me a fist bump and thanked me for coming back. If that doesn't give you a warm feeling, I don't know what will. The dining area contains 5 tables with 8 stools each and a small round table outside. The staff are quick to help find seating for larger groups as well as getting plates and utensils and to-go boxes for people. Excellent service all around! Now, onto all the stuff I've been able to try during my 2 visits: Brisket [9.75/10] - I didn't even bother asking for only moist because even the lean was flavorful. The fatty however, was out of bounds. Reheating 3 day old brisket from Barbs in my toaster oven was still better tasting than any fresh brisket I can find back in California. Such is life. Lamb chopis [11/10] - Oh. My. Lawd. The herbs, the seasoning, wow! It's cooked medium rare so I suggest you eat this first and the other meats second. I'm neutral to lamb and I was shook at how great it tasted. I would camp out just for this alone. Molotov pork ribs [9.75/10] - Probably the best ribs I've had. The doneness is perfect. I prefer ribs that are tender, yet not completely fall off the bone. Ribs that still have a bit of bite to them. The fresh lime zest takes it up to a different level. Fajita sausage [9.75/10] - I'm not the biggest fan of sausage as I prefer to get other meats instead but I was hooked on first bite. The cheese was melted and the chopped pepper was nice. Green spaghett [10/10] - Do not pass this up. If they sold this by the gallon, I'd buy it. But alas I have to settle for the quart size. For those unfamiliar, it's made with green poblano chiles, jalapenos, cilantro, and crema. Just get it. Potato salad [9.75/10] - Light, fresh, and great texture for me. This is always a go-to side order for me but unfortunately many bbq spots are a bit hit-or-miss with it. Barbs knocks it out of the park with this one. Pork stew [9.25/10] - Yes, my least favorite dish still rates as excellent. The pork was very tender with corn and squash over a small bed of rice. Turkey [9.5/10] - I rarely ever get turkey but I decided to try it. And I'm glad I did. It was moist and had a lovely touch of herbs to it. They also offer cinnamon swirl bread for $.75 a slice instead of plain white bread like most other places. It's different and I recommend it if you like cinnamon. On my first visit, I arrived around 10:00am and the line was just around the corner (about 40 people deep). Second time I arrived around 9:35am and there was about 16-20 people ahead of me. The new Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ rankings is coming out later this year and I highly suggest you try this place before the rankings come out. I was talking to another patron and he and I both fully expect Barbs to be in the top 10 if not top 5 of the next rankings and you can expect the lines to only get longer. read more

SOLID bbq that brings together classic tribute to Texan BBQ and unique flavor of Latinx and modern creation. Recently celebrating one year as a brick and mortar, Barbs is an exciting stop in the capital of Texas BBQ. Open only two days a week, and opening the doors at 11 AM, the all-woman owned establishment takes pride in, not only, work/life balance, but taking time to put all attention necessary into providing great flavors and quality food. Ordering by the half pound, I have to say this is one of the only BBQ spots (of many visited) that gives you a meat product that is...well, mostly (if not all) meat. That's right! There was barely any fat or nonsense included on the charging scale, and barely anything needed to be discarded because the quality of cuts were that good. You don't have to worry about paying for way too much fat on the brisket. And the brisket flavor? Fantastic. A little dry, but will not complain due to the flavor. The pork ribs were our favorite. Garnished with lime zest for a vibrant zing, pairing well with the succulent glaze. The green spaghetti? Do it. DO IT. Reminiscent of my Mama's recipe, so if you're Latinx, you'll be nostalgically satisfied; if you're new to this green sauce, you will be so thankful for the new flavor. There will be no craving for Mac and cheese needed to be filled... Tortillas instead of bread. YUM. The best brisket tacos you'll have, as a result. Fixings are pickles and pickled red onion. Too good!! Can't wait to come back! We thought about hopping over to another BBQ choice, but Barbs satisfied us SO well, we didn't want to change the experience. The line does pick up around 10:30 AM. We got there an hour before open, I'd say a solid 20-30 people in front of us and we waited another 45 min upon opening (1 hr 45 total). Unfortunately, by the time we got up there the lamb chops were sold out. Shame on the pair of people in front of us who literally ordered a whole rack to themselves...anyway... Only suggestion? The charro beans (uniquely made with black beans) were pretty salty, along with the sausage, so I'm glad we didn't get more than the single serving. The sauce was also unique, but pretty sweet. Hats off to the chefs, y'all rock it!!! read more

Truly a great addition to the Lockhart bbq scene, and honestly has quickly become one of my favorite joints. First, the food. Absolutely amazing. The pork ribs are some of the best anywhere. Brisket super moist. Turkey ridiculously tender, though it lost a bit of the turkey flavor imo. Sausage has the perfect balance of spice and crunch. Nothing was too heavily seasoned, it was all just perfect. Even our two small kids loved it. They ran out of beef ribs and lamb by the time we ordered, around 12:40. Sides were great - highly recommend the pasta and potato salad. Service is great. Super nice folks. Albeit slightly slow. The line moves only as fast as they can serve you. Seating space is limited but good enough. Again, they basically pace it out where you shouldn't have to wait for a spot once you get your food. This isn't a sit down and chill for an hour sort of place. Not much of an ambiance. Eat and leave. Price is surprisingly reasonable. Their tray for two is an incredible deal and with a ton of meat. We can't wait to come back. Will try to either come close to open or else around 1pm though when the line dies down. Otherwise expect to wait 30-45. read more
