Black’s Barbecue can trace its roots back to 1932 when it started off as a small meat market in Lockhart, Texas.
Second-generation owner Edgar Black, Jr. decided to start selling some of their best meats in a small side restaurant next to the market.

Black’s Barbecue is still family-owned and operated, with Barrett Black being the 4th generation pitmaster and the family’s 5th generation is growing up with the business.
In September 2023, the online magazine TravelAwaits named New Braunfels location the second-best BBQ restaurant in the nation.
Black’s Barbecue maintains a corporate office in Austin, Texas.
