A sign of where it all started 🖤

In 1932, 1st Generation Pitmaster Edgar Black Sr. opened Northside Grocery & Market. 2nd Generation Pitmaster Edgar Black Jr. later transformed it into The Original Black’s BBQ. Today, 3rd Generation Pitmaster Kent Black continues that legacy here in Lockhart, Texas.

Dads love barbecue! 🖤🥩

As a 4th Generation Pitmaster and a father himself, Barrett Black knows a thing or two about what dads deserve: good food, good company, and a moment to slow down and enjoy it.

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 🚌🥩
