3rd Generation Pitmaster Kent Black is no stranger to the Caldwell County Courthouse.

Before practicing law in Lockhart himself, Kent would come eat watermelon on the courthouse steps while his grandfather, 1st Generation Pitmaster and Caldwell County Judge Edgar Black Sr., worked inside. Those years later inspired Kent’s own path into law alongside The Original Black’s BBQ.

Nationwide shipping has come a long way since the 1960s. Back then, The Original Black’s BBQ was sending barbecue out on Greyhound buses just to get it beyond Lockhart 🚌🥩

What began as a small-town meat market in 1932 has grown into a Texas tradition we’re proud to carry forward today as the oldest family-owned BBQ restaurant in Texas. In 2022, May 14th was officially declared The Original Black’s Barbecue Day in Lockhart, marking a continued celebration of how far this journey has come.
