Terry Black's Barbecue

Terry Black's Barbecue is a renowned establishment specializing in traditional Central Texas-style barbecue. Founded in 2014 by brothers Michael and Mark Black, the restaurant has rapidly expanded, earning acclaim for its authentic flavors and dedication to quality.

The Black brothers, fourth-generation pitmasters, branched out from their family's longstanding barbecue legacy to create Terry Black's Barbecue. Their inaugural location in Austin quickly garnered attention, setting the stage for further expansion.

In 2022, they returned to Lockhart, the heart of Texas barbecue, to revive and honor the region's rich culinary traditions.

Menu Highlights

The restaurant's menu features a variety of smoked meats, including brisket, pork ribs, turkey, and sausage, all prepared using traditional low-and-slow smoking techniques over post oak wood.

This method ensures tender, flavorful meats that have become a hallmark of Terry Black's Barbecue. Accompaniments such as mac and cheese, cream corn, and baked potato salad complement the main offerings, providing a well-rounded dining experience.
