8. KREUZ MARKET   —   LOCKHART & BRYAN

They BBQ joining also on the list for the Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ,  many called Lockhart, TX the capital of Barbeque of Texas.  This place has no plates, no forks, no bbq sauce. No kidding.

7. LULING CITY MARKET   –  LULING

Located south of Auston, along the San Marcos River.  There is no big menu to be found because only four items on the menu: chicken, beef brisket, ribs, and sausage

Where's your favorite BBQ? BBQ and back roads go hand in hand and you can't go wrong with one of the best places to get your fill, City Market in Luling. And in my opinion, even great BBQ can taste better when you pair it with a cold Big Red. But I guess I'm not alone because I was told City Market sells as much Big Red as every other drink combined. Good to Know: CASH ONLY City Market – Luling, TX

6. SALT LICK BBQ  —   Driftwood

This is the famous BBQ featured on numerous TV shows including Food Network and always makes Texas Monthly list every year for best BBQ, try the brisket an experience you will never forget.

Football fans have another reason to cheer: The Salt Lick will now have two concession stands located in the Darrell K. Royal Memorial Stadium during the @texasfootball season! Stop by section 6 or 30 to enjoy our pulled pork sandwich, chopped or sliced brisket sandwich, sloppy nachos, or a smoked sausage dog.

5. HAYS COUNTY BARBEQUE RESTAURANT   — San Marcos

The brisket smokes for 18 hours on a wood smoking pit and between two pieces of Texas toast. They serve big at this bbq joint

Lunchtime spread at @hayscobbq. One of my all time faves, where everything you order is money. Cheddar jalapeño sausage, pork chop, brisket, turkey, beef rib, brisket chili and ALL the fixins.

4. HEIM BARBECUE   — FORT WORTH

It wasn’t that long ago they only had a food truck but have grown into incredible success, every item is made from scratch. Try the BBQsnob:  brisket, jalapeno cheese sausage, and bacon burnt ends.

1. COOPER’S OLD TIME PIT BAR-B-QUE — LLANO

Northwest of Austin also ranked number 17 on my Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ,   and also featured on Food Network on several shows spotlighting Cooper’s famous Lone Star brisket.  Customer are encouraged not to use bbq sauce and eat the meat the way it was intended to be.

Crossed off another spot on the @texasmonthly BBQ list today with a visit to Cooper's in Llano. I love that burnt ends was an ordering option because that is my favorite part of the brisket. #txbbq #coopersoldtimebbq #texasmonthly #bbq #brisket #txbbqpassport
