Nina Schmidt Sells established Smitty's Market in 1999 in the building that housed her father's Kreuz Market for more than 50 years. The market sits in the same location where barbecue has been sold in Lockhart since the turn of the last century. According to Texas Monthly Magazine, Smitty's may be the best barbecue in Texas and by their count at least in the top five barbecue restaurants in the state. Sit down to smoked meats from pits that have been seasoned for decades. Brisket, pork chops and sausage are among the daily fare and pork ribs make Saturday and Sunday special. Potato salad, slaw, beans, avocado, onion, cheese and jalapenos

	are also on the menu. Wash it down with an ice cold Shiner Bock, RC or Big Red. Located at 208 South Commerce just off Hwy 183 in Lockhart. (512-398-9344)
