Heart of Texas Flavor
You provided your votes for Texas’ top barbecue spots, and now we’re providing the map! Go here if you’re hungry.
By Samantha Clark
Summer is a season filled with sunshine and the savory aroma of Texas barbecue, y’all!
From smoky briskets to tender ribs, barbecue is a culinary tradition that brings Texans together. In the spirit of National Barbecue Day, we asked our online Facebook community to share their favorite barbecue restaurants in the Lone Star State. Here are their picks:

- TC’s Ponderosa (Dickens, TX)
- Luling City Market (Luling, TX)
- Rusty Pit BBQ Company (Hereford, TX)
- Black’s Barbecue (Lockhart, TX)
- Cattleack Barbeque (Dallas, TX)
- Franklin Barbecue (Austin, TX)
Each of these joints holds a special place in the hearts (and stomachs) of Texans. Be sure to check out these beloved spots and experience the true flavor of Texas barbecue.
