Website Directions 214-944-5521

Located in the heart of the Bishop Arts District, Lockhart Smokehouse brings authentic Central Texas barbecue traditions directly to Dallas. Diners order brisket, ribs, and Kreuz Market sausages by weight at the counter, which are served fresh on butcher paper. The atmospheric counter-serve restaurant also features a full bar with Texas draft beers and signature sides like smoked deviled eggs.

Quick tip: Arrive early during peak meal hours, as popular smoked meats like brisket and burnt ends can sell out before closing.
