Barbs B Q

Barbs B Q is run by pitmaster Chuck Charnichart and her small team. Waiting in line for good barbecue is a Texas tradition, and this place, with its hours-long lines is no exception. You'll need to stave off your cravings until the weekend though, as it's only open on Saturday and Sunday. The Lockhart gem's compact menu lists a handful of meats that read classic but have been given a twist, as in the Molotov pork ribs finished with lime zest, giving the tender meat just the right amount of zing. Turkey with a black pepper rub is a total standout, and don't miss the unique sides like green spaghetti made with a smoked poblano sauce. Chocolate pudding and cobbler round out the meal.
