Burning Calories in Lockhart, the Barbecue Capital of Texas 

My Mom grew up poor, just outside of Lockhart. Grandpa raised cattle on leased land, Grandma raised chickens and tended the garden. When times got tough, my Mom and her siblings picked cotton and worked the fields on neighboring farms.

Thank you so much for sharing this video of Lockhart. We lived in Lockhart in 1984 and I remember when we went to city hall to have the utilities turned on the clerk pronounced my last name wrong - Caldwell the same name as the county in which Lockhart is the county seat, lol.😁 Our youngest son was born in the hospital there. Last time I visited the town the hospital had been closed for many years. Lockhart is a quiet little town with easy access to Austin. The city has several parks for the families to enjoy. Lockhart has a HEB and a Walmart what else's does a person need?

Gorgeous buildings, and now I have a hankering for BBQ!

I lived in San Marcos right up the road!My band played at Lockhart library many times during the Dickinson festival!!Ate at Smittys barbecue afterward!Good stuff!!!

Such an amazing town. Beautiful as well. I admire how Texans keep their history alive.

I miss when BBQ in Lockhart was not so crowded and was small town. Things change... Still a beautiful town.

I've always been fond of Lockhart. It's a nice town with great people and great food.

Thanks, I just dropped a few pins in my map of things I wish to visit in TX (when I get to go). I plan on pulling my trailer for a place to sleep and the state park looked awesome... "Happy Trails"

thank u for your excellent research again with good quality filming

I especially like your channel pure excellence thank you

I got to say sr. You have some of the most amazing videos on RU-vid. I appreciate your hard work and dedication. 👍

Thanks!! This just went on the bucket list... all the way from Illinois!

We were camped on the creekside of that campground about 20 years ago, it rained a ton upstream and flooded our site. Was in a popup trailer and woke up with water in it.

Your channel is so great. We sure thank you and God Bless you 🇺🇸🇺🇸

I'm an Austin, Texas native. Spent a lot of time in Lockhart; I'd recommend any of these BBQ establishments... depends on how far you wanna drive... small place.

this made me very hungry....lol

We were just there. What's the deal with Mayonnaise offered on a BBQ sandwich? Had to turn that down. Neat town.

Come to town for BBQ but don’t miss the best thrift store in Texas, Upscale Resale.

Thanks for the video, I just bought ribs at the store and they look nothing like the one you had! jealous!!

That was one of the most mouth watering episodes yet. Thanks.

I live 20 miles away I need to go visit lol

How was the barbecue?

It would be worth a pilgrimage and spend a couple of days eating my our way through the BBQ's.

Wow I can't believe you haven't done the historic town of Refugio Texas or Bayside Texas the very first house that sgt Driscoll built

I miss Texas! ❤

Great quality vids, but the music may be the best part!

My child hook home town still have family that lives in Lockhart,tx

What happened to the photographs of all the Lockhart football teams in Blacks?

👍

Had lunch at Smitty's a few years ago...rudest people and the food was nothing to brag about 🙄

Smittys is the best!!! Get the pork!!!

There are more beautiful courthouses awa churches southeast of Lockhart. I hope you've seen them.
