[need suggestions] BBQ restaurants in Bastrop?

You should have gone to Snow's this morning......or at least Lockhart.

You might try Zimmerhanzel's Bar-B-Que in Smithville or Prause Meat Market
in La Grange.

 

drive to austin and go here:

The City Meat Market in Giddings, TX right on 290 is awesome. I stop there every time I go to Austin.

Coincidentally, "Miss Tootsie", the little ol' lady that is the pit boss at Snow's ran the pits at City Meat Market for years.

If you go north about 20 miles from Bastrop to Elgin, you can also hit Louis Mueller's. I've never eaten there, but they're considered pretty damn good bbq by bbq lovers. Then you can just take 290 from there all the way to Houston.

 

Muellers is in Taylor, not Giddings. Meyer's is in Elgin and they are known for their sausage.

 

head to lockhart and go to smittys... they're open on sunday and kick monumental ass

 

Fantastic BBQ. The problem is he sells out so damn fast!

 

Yeah, I knew it wasn't in Giddings, but I thought it was in Elgin. Crap. My bad.

 

Franklins is damn good. And like it was said above - get there early

 

Damn, I didn't think Bastrop had a restaurant, kudos.

 

Dang, I was actually interested in hearing about bbq places in Bastrop but I guess this wasn't the thread for it. I figured the places in Lockhart, etc. had already been discussed to death but I guess not.

 

I've been to Fitties in Bastrop. Nicest guy in the world runs it.............but the BBQ..........not so good.

 

I don't know about restaurants, but some of the best sausage in Texas is made in Chappell Hill. I've bought it packaged, but I would guess that there's a barbecue place there to prove it.

 

Drive to Driftwood, get SaltLick.....

Where'd you end up going, and how was it?
