James CongerOctober 15, 2015Amazing bbq with a solid Texas beer selection. Simple and delicious. Brisket burnt ends, jalapeno sausage, habanero garlic mac and cheese... What's not to like?
Barney SantosAugust 20, 2014The most amazing brisket and beef ribs. Just an FYI two ribs equals 1/2 lbs and 1lbs of brisket is enough for 2 people. Also the BBQ beans and Mac and cheese is amazing! A must go place for anyone
Marlon MolinareOctober 13, 2015Impressive BBQ at an affordable price. Get the jalapeño sausage, brisket and ribs in that order. Load up on pickles and BBQ sauce and make sure to get extra white bread too
Art Gomez TagleMay 12, 2018Brisket was bomb. Ribs are good too. The potato salad was delicious. Spicy onions and pickles too good. The only thing was he sauce, kinda ketchupy but edible.
Do not miss out on the Smokehouse Deviled Eggs. Finely chopped brisket mixed into the deviled egg stuffing with Sriracha and smoked paprika to add a kick!
My favorite smokehouse in town. Delicious (specially the brisket) limited meat is cooked every day (plan to arrive early). Great brews and housemade BBQ sauce, pickles and pickled onions!
John ZilaAugust 6, 2017The brisket is more than worth the likely heart attack it'll bring. Best barbecue I've ever had. Get lots of sides because you'll need the lids in lieu of plates, which they don't provide.
MarcApril 21, 2015Thrillist Top BBQ List: ...their amazing jalapeño cheese sausages. And some of the best brisket (and its beefier, leaner cousin shoulder clod) coming out of that Bewley smoker.
David PittsOctober 6, 2014Lockhart is certainly a worthy locale to which one would seek to pay homage, and this place gets it basically perfect. Easily some of the best brisket in the Plex. Also habanero Mac n cheese. But $$$$
Have I left a tip here? Oh well... Meat. Delicious meat. Habanero bacon Mac and cheese ain't playing. Put it in your mouth... Don't cry. The cooler is mine! Hands off.
Megan MastersMarch 22, 2018The burnt ends paired nicely with the habanero mac&cheese! Lots of fatty meat which is good and bad at the same time !!
Pamela BatisteApril 30, 2017Brisket and ribs are .....THE BOMB! Really cool spot in a very popular area.
Monika McMahonMay 17, 2015Get in line early because once they sell out, they're out! They start serving at 6 pm, but you can grab a drink and get in line before 6. Loved the pork ribs!
Get the brisket, every time. Top 10 in Texas for sure and top 2 in Dallas. Love this place for ever and ever.
KatieMay 13, 2019the mac and cheese is the best side, hands down. all the meat is the best bbq in dallas - so choose whatever you want. or a bit of each!!!
Tina BarrientosSeptember 22, 2015Had a nice time...they load you up on the meat! Long Island Iced Tea was soooo powerful! Thanks cute bartender!
EaterOctober 5, 2011One of the best spots in town to grab a cold beer and watch a Rangers game--because it'll take you the length of one to finish your meal. [Eater 38 Member]
Maria KahnNovember 10, 2013Ok let's see....the brisket is AMAZING, the baby back rib TO DIE FOR, the Lockhart cole slaw DELICIOUS, the potato salad YUMMY and the habanero Mac 'n Cheese (beware) SPICY!!- crystal loSeptember 30, 2016we tried a little bit of everything and the brisket was my favorite. i will definitely go again the next time i'm in town.
Becky HendersonMarch 18, 2018We waited about 20-25 minutes in line before getting to the counter. Do the rest of the line a favor and know what you are going to order. Food is good, very flavorful and smokey.- Burnt ends from the Brisket, drool. The mac & cheese, the sausage, the BBQ jam; it goes on and on. Menu changes up somewhat daily as to whats available - or - whatever Will feels like making. #beard
Dallas ObserverNovember 27, 2013The slaw. Lockhart has some fancier cole slaws, including a bleu cheese-based one, but the buried sriracha, paprika and cayenne in their titular one elevates it past just cabbage and mayo.
Fantastic 'cue done the Central Texas way (no sauce. Expertly smoked). Great atmosphere. Brisket is to die for. Even chicken is good. Super cool owners in Jill & Jeff. Amazing beard on premises.
Maximum BurgerApril 10, 2019Hoo! Terrific sausage. Ribs and deviled eggs good too. BBQ sauce and fermented veggies on pu
- Dallas ObserverOctober 16, 2013Saturday nights it serves up some pretty mean karaoke. Get here early, as with many of the best barbecue eateries, the choice cuts can sell out fast.
Marc VermutJune 11, 2016Brisket. Ribs. Chicken. Links. Mac n cheese. Shiner. Screw it, the whole menu is awesome.
Sara PowerMay 5, 2015Deviled eggs with barbecue meat inside were great! Definitely worth tasting if you've never had them
Anand DhanasekharanDecember 8, 2015Oooh the Brisket!!! Yum.. The vodkas that they have on tap is cool too. Good bar and a very friendly lady to serve drinks!!

- Dallas ObserverNovember 27, 2013Brisket Deviled Eggs. Lockhart pumps up the flavor and plays with the texture by incorporating bits of brisket into the mix. These little things are addictive.
Schlitz MilwaukeeJuly 8, 2012You can't go wrong with anything here on the menu. Staff is so friendly and welcoming! The Mac & cheese is amazing and you have to try hominy!
Anthony MontenegroJune 13, 2018Great all around. Thought the sausage here stood out as some of the better Texas sausage. Brisket was great.
Rory ParnessNovember 11, 2019Be ready to order when you get to the counter. Ask them to cut you up some of the fatty brisket. Super tender and that bark...
Gerardo CanavatiJuly 30, 2015Awesome food, love the brisket, mac n cheese, and they have a full bar, weekend parking is a problem so Uber here. =)- Lee DiazJuly 9, 2018Excellent BBQ, but if you can, try to make it for Burnt Ends on Thursday! Seriously. You won't regret it.
Chris ReeseAugust 19, 2016Everything! Best ribs I've ever had, fantastic brisket, sausage, and bread pudding.
Janet CheungSeptember 6, 2014So much BBQ to pick from and buy it at counter and find a seat! Large bathroom! I liked the ribs
Kevin WeiseOctober 8, 2019Amazing food, ate my fill and enjoyed every second... bit weird to have bbq with friends and soap operas on the tv?
Ed VargasSeptember 8, 2014If you're still hungry when you leave here - it's your fault ! Brisket , ribs , sausage - all yummy
sarah yuglichMarch 1, 2015Brisket and pork ribs are amazing. I loved the coleslaw, it was spicy but very delicious!
Kara MicheleFebruary 6, 2019Brisket, deviled eggs, slaw, ribs. Wished I could have tried everything!- Dallas ObserverAugust 19, 2014While the smokehouse hasn't yet mastered ribs or chicken, there's perhaps no better place in Dallas to observe the "no sauce, no forks" dictum and attack smoked beef bare-handed.

Kyle EngelAugust 14, 2011Great drinks and absolutely delicious bbq. Staff is very personable and will make you feel at home. I will make this a regular occurance for sure.
Patrick PoolNovember 12, 2015The meat was tough and the sausage, though reasonably tasty, was impossible to cut with the plastic cutlery. The potato salad was a very odd recipe that was not compatible with barbeque.
K KJanuary 30, 2015Sunday is the day I worship. Beer and BBQ breakfasts are the perfect way to start the day.
Nam LuuOctober 9, 2013Beef rib is huge, tender, and flavorful. It is to die for! One is enough. $15 and avail only on Wed.
