I finally caved in and gave Terry's a try. Knowing the family feud between Terry's and The Original Black's, I had to see if there was really much of a difference. As far as the food goes, not a big difference honestly. My brisket was also dry here, unlike at Black's. And their prices seem a bit higher than Black's. The service was excellent, I will say that. Likely because it was early on after their opening in town. I was confused as to how to enter, and parking was a pain in the you know what. It seemed rather noisy to me inside, however I did like the decor. To me, it just seemed crowded and much smaller. Will I be back? Maybe. However, I'll still choose Black's any day. read more

Very good Texas barbecue. Particularly liked the pork ribs. Super tender and juicy with a nice, subtle rub on them. The brisket had a very good bark on it. I found the flat (non-fatty) side to be just a touch dry but that is very, very common. The plain BBQ sauce was delicious - on the understated side but I thought that was nice so it didn't overwhelm the taste of the beef. You're not really supposed to put sauce on brisket but it helped the dry side. The mac 'n cheese was good but I wouldn't brag about it. The peach cobbler was very nice as well. Overall a very good stop for some good Texas hill country barbecue. read more

One of my stops on a day trip to Lockhart. I will say this place did get packed when I left and I can see why. It's probably the best brisket I've ever had. Great flavor, very tender, and it just melts in your month. The Jalepeno Cheddar sausage was really good. If I'm heading back to the counter to get some food to bring back to Houston.....then I'd say you've got good meat! I got some brisket and sausage to eat later that week. When the time was right, I went ahead and pulled my meat out........ of the fridge. LOL. Folks working the counters were very nice and gave me sauces, pickles, onions, etc. read more

Brisket, pork ribs, sausage. Maybe the best sausage ever. Brisket was moist and smoky. Sweet corn and beans were great. Peach cobbler was outstanding. Can't wait for Terry Black's to open in New Braunfels. read more

Hands down the greatest Texas BBQ I've had in my life. We were lucky enough to pass the flagship restaurant. As a party of 9, this allowed us to try nearly every menu item, and it surpassed all our expectations. Between the 12 hour slow cooked brisket to the incredibly flavorful cream corn, each item was exceptional. My favorite part though was the incredibly kindness and hospitality of the staff working. It's always heartwarming to see employees who truly LOVE working at the establishment. I just wish I bought a hat, my only regret. Joyous ambiance. read more

And inside also lends a campy feel - you are routed straight to the sides bar; signage Everywhere giving instructions for those of us who need lots of direction haha (super thoughtful!) and clear menus of their offerings. One thing that I LOVE and that you don't see very often here in Texasland - TURKEY!!! HIGHLY recommended by Ben btw. We shall try it!! We got the meal for six to go, and some meat and sides to snack on as a tasters choice GUYYYYYYYYYYSSSS!!!!!

We brought in a group of 40 with no warning. They were so good to us. They gave us a private room, brought us water pitchers and served us the most amazing food. Everyone there was so nice!! The manager, Alvie bent over backwards to accommodate us and was so smart about helping us figure out what to order based on our group size. Also Bobo, Chris and Adain were so friendly! Will come here every 6 weeks with our group of missionaries!! read more

When I say we stopped here on a whim because we where so hungry it was even funny! I'm so glad I was hungry when I was or I never would have discovered this gem of a BBQ spot!!! The food is absolutely delicious fantastic amazing a must try! The corn macaroni and cheese and the turkey was by far my favorite but brisket from the opinion of others was really good loved the ranch style beans and meat so delicious your choice of fountain drink or bottles is fun. We sat outside they have indoor and outdoor seating we chose outside and so glad we did. Robert the Pit Master wash jamming the whole time which made the outside experience even better, we where too hungry to get pics and it was too good to stop so that should say a lot. The noise level was normal for a BBQ spot kids running around, good food, good times, good everything you need to try this! read more

Loved the bbq here! Great spot with lots of seating. Indoor and outdoor. We got the brisket, turkey and a side of ribs. For the sides we ordered macaroni and cheese, potatoe salad and cream corn. Everything was so good! The flavor, the juices. The meat just fell off the ribs. Definitely worth the price. Our cashier was kind and helpful. The staff cleaning around were also great and assisted when needed. Would make the drive again just for the bbq. read more

Great brisket, ribs, and sausage, and even greater service by Camden Hernandez, who couldn't have been nicer. Thank you!

If you don't want to have a meal that you can't stop thinking about afterwards, this may not be the place for you. Seriously, the best bbq I have ever had. Service was great, from the time we walked up and got a tour of What goes into making those delicious briskets, to ordering the food. We have the small family meal, split between five people... We could not even come close to finishing it! Believe me, it was so good we tried our best. For meats, we had the brisket, ribs, sausages, and turkey. For sides, mac & cheese, coleslaw, potato salad, peach cobbler, and corn. Wow, Terry Black's Barbecue knows what they are doing! There's indoor , and plentiful outdoor seating, and some of the most amazing food you've ever tasted! I cannot recommend enough? read more

Fantastic place for dinner. When looking for that Texas BBQ, this is your place!!! I had the jalepeni sausage and ribs. With a side of Mac and cheese and corn bread, which is fantastic!!!! The ribs were fall of the bone delicious. The sausage was cooked very well and the meat didn't need any sauce, but the sauce was so dang good I put it on other stuff. We were traveling and a friend who lives local recommended the place so we decided to go here and it did not disappoint!! The temperatures were great so we sat on the patio which was a great as the lights were on and the smell from the smokers was awesome! read more

You cannot roll through Lockhart without grabbing some brisket, and this was the first time at the 2nd Terry Black's location, as we usually go to the original downtown. Food was as good as ever, amazing service both in line and at the table, and I like the setting a bit more on a busy day. read more

We stopped at Terry Black's Sunday on our way to Austin. They were packed! We had brisket, ribs, and sausage with a couple sides and 3 teas. Our bill came out to $115.00. High, but I know the price of meat is up there. When we got home, we talked about how expensive it was and thought that can't be right. My wife called and they found our receipt. They had overcharged us by about $40. They told us to come by and they would make it right. We just left there and they couldn't have been nicer. We left with about $60 in bbq and sides. Great customer service and we will definitely go back. Thank, Amelia for taking care of us! read more

First timer!! I'm familiar with Blacks, but didn't know if there was a difference between the two? Either way, I'd never been to this location and was excited for some real BBQ! Lots of parking, outdoor seating (more than inside) & indoor tables and booths. Walk up, choose sides, followed by meats, then pay. Service was friendly & patient. You walk away with a tray full of goodness & you go and grab your drinks and plasticware at a well organized drinks/utensils/to go box area. Every table has 3 sauces on it, hot, sweet and regular? I can't remember. I opted for the hot. It wasn't my fav sauce, but it didn't take away from the food. I ordered cream corn, sausage & brisket-mixed in w/burt ends. DELISH!!! All of it! Pick up your tray and throw away your trash & things when you're done, cause yo' mama ain't here to do that for ya. They'll come & wipe down the table after. Leftovers the next day was just as great. Smoky, delicious, TX hometown BBQ! Go get you some!! read more

Great bbq here! We ordered the brisket, turkey and jalapeño cheddar sausage. My favorite was the sausage followed by the turkey then brisket. The best sausage I have had in a bbq restaurant! The service was awesome! Laura, Lisa and Esmeralda were the absolute best and I appreciated how Esmeralda let me sample a few of the sides that I had questions about. The green beans were like none other in any other bbq joint we have been to. The brisket beans were on point! We shared the black margarita and it was outstanding! The atmosphere has a cool vibe and is very open. Everything was easy to find and it was easy to navigate! We have enjoyed our journey of the bbq capitol of Texas. Smitty's is next! read more

Drove to Lockhart to bar bbq and let me tell, it was well worth the drive. From the beef rib to the brisket, sausage and of course, the most fabulous peach cobbler I have ever had.

Customer service first of all was superior, everyone greets you and they are extremely attentive while dining in. Had a small situation where the cashier accidentally overcharged my card. He caught it and got the manager to fix it. I only bring this up to say, while they were mending the situation, the butcher said for your inconvenience here's so extra slices of brisket and a couple of ribs!!!! I was so taken back because it was a small but extremely nice gesture. And that's probably what made me enjoy the food more and more Brisket was 8.5/10 - great bark flavor Ribs 8/10 - perfect size, really tender just could use more seasoning Beans 7/10 - needed some salt but liked meat chunks in it Mac and cheese 8.5/10 - loved it, Creamed corn 8/10 - almost too creamy for me but perfect sweetness, not overpowering. 9/10 overall read more

Terry Black's in Lockhart TX. I have never been here before but REALLY love the one in Dallas. So let's start with the fact that parking is free. They were open on a Tuesday and they have continuous service on a Tuesday. They have indoor and outdoor sitting which is nice. So you walk in look at the signs, prices etc and start by ordering your sides first. Then you order the meats and pay. You pay and get your food which is always nice. We sat ate and enjoyed the place. The food was good but the BBQ in Dallas is better might be that the pits in Dallas are older so they are more seasoned. Go and give it a try as it is good and I will return. read more

As an out-of-town tourist I felt especially fortunate to get a lunch recommendation from a Lockhart local for Terry Black's. We ordered the Texas Trio of brisket, pork ribs, and sausage in addition to nearly every side; each and every one was excellent. Plenty of seating and speedy service, which was incredibly helpful since I was traveling with a family of four. Special shout out to Chris and Veronica who were working the counter! read more

I love when food brings my siblings and I together Service is seamless, everything is kept clean and stocked. Staff is kind, hospitable Honestly, there is a difference in the other bbq places and I'm reminded of that with every bite! Love the freshness of the green beans and the vibrancy of our full plates Definitely a price difference, but this is great for casual gatherings on occasion. read more

We made the trip out just try to this place and it was great. Pricy, but I pretty much expect that from bbq. We tried a little bit of everything, the pork ribs, brisket, sausage. Everything was good, I especially liked their potato salad. We would go back if we were in the area. read more

Found ourselves in Lockhart for some rough circumstances and decided to try the famous Terry Blacks! Talk about life changing BBQ. Veronica was the first server we encountered and she was so fun and friendly when choosing our sides. Then the guys cutting up our meats and talking to us were also so helpful. Not to mention the mini tour of all the smokers and a peak at the meat! read more

We have family in town from Florida who love good BBQ so I went down and got a to go order of a bunch of Brisket and some beef ribs. Didn't have their sides but they looked very good. The brisket was incredibly juicy, tender and had a great smoke ring, as did the beef ribs! If you're in Lockhart, there are a few choices as you may know but this was excellent! read more

Terry Black's is a standout bbq joint located in Texas' bbq Mecca, Lockhart. The first thing you are met with while walking up is that smoked meat flavor wafting in the air. Just look over and you'll see people tending those pits... and boy is that smell wonderful. We showed up on a Sunday, just a few minutes before noon and there was just a small line. We waited about 3 minutes to order our sides, the kids wanted mac n cheese, and then our bbq. Not a bad wait at all for something this good. As for the bbq, I ordered the holy trinity as that's how I judge every bbq restaurant. Brisket (both lean and moist), pork ribs, and sausage. Everything was wonderful! The brisket is quite tender and easily melts in your mouth and has a nice bark to it. The sausage was just real damn good, not sure how else to put it. And the pork ribs were cooked to perfection. Smoke flavor throughout, fall off the bone tender. I mean wow! The Mac n cheese was nice and creamy and worthy of your money. BBQ lovers need to find an excuse to make it to Terry Black's. read more

We stopped for an early dinner tonight. The last couple of times we came the brisket was hit or miss. We ordered our staple sides of coleslaw and cream corn. They were super friendly and helpful. When we made it to the register to order our meat, we ordered brisket burnt ends which is most restaurants moist brisket extra bark. We were told no burnt ends were available that it would be 5 slices to get the cut we wanted. My husband ordered turkey while I was trying to decide what I wanted in lieu of a meat that they had on the board but wouldn't cut. The staff mentioned I could have any meat I wanted. After that, I didn't want anything else so we took the food we had already ordered to go and went to a competitor and got the cut we wanted. The competitor's cutter didn't flinch in turning around the brisket and giving me the cut I asked for. TBH, we've only had mixed experiences at this TB location it just stinks that it is the one closest to our home. read more

Wow, this is the best in the state. The cream corn and mac and cheese are made to perfection. We made the drive for the food and experience and both were incredible. You must get the brisket and sausage. You really don't need Bar-B-Q sauce as the meat is full of flavor. I like putting a piece of brisket on a bread with a thin line of sauce and pickles.

Been here a second time now and still great! Came on a Saturday afternoon in January and it was well attended but not overcrowded like the one in Austin. We each got a sandwich, a sliced brisket and a turkey. Both were fantastic and did not skimp on the meat. We also got the mac and cheese and Cole slaw. I loved the Mac, not as much the slaw, but still good. You really can't go wrong with Terry Black's. I always recommend it for stellar bbq! My only issue with this location was that there were sooooo many flies in the outdoor seating area. They really need to do something about this! read more

There was no wait when we went on a Sunday right after lunch time and the meat was the most tender meat ever!!! Absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the brisket and ribs. Ribs is you like a little sweeter, and brisket if you like a more savory. The brisket was our favorite and the mac n cheese is so simple yet to die for. Easy parking lot, lots of seating. Would definitely come back read more

Walked into Terry Black's for the first time. Upon walking in to the left you'll start your food journey starting with this sign. I was tickled by it! My eyes glazed over all the multiple side choices before you hit the meat station. We were shown true Texas hospitality from Veronica and Amelia!! True treasures to TB's front counter staff. Both went above and beyond on ensuring we were happy with our choices. Totally recommend this establishment, not only for the delicious food, but most importantly, the friendly staff (Amelia and Veronica) that treated us like family. read more
