Smitty's

Lockhart is the BBQ capital of Texas about 30 miles south of Austin and on the way to Discovery/Gonzales. We stopped at Smitty's and the pork sausage alone was a life changing experience. The beef brisket was insanely good too. And I loved the place itself.

You walk right into a smoke room (there are two that I could see) and are greeted with an open pit fire and a blast of heat. Out of the frying pan and into the fire on a 102 degree day outside.

Next you walk into the (air conditioned!) dining area and order your sides.

Then you sit down family style with your brown paper full of meat. Look at the guy arching his brow at me.
