Lockhart Smokehouse

About Lockhart Smokehouse

Lockhart Smokehouse brings Central Texas barbecue to Dallas’ Bishop Arts District, with brisket, ribs, turkey and Kreuz Market sausage smoked over Texas post oak. Meat is sliced to order at the counter and served on butcher paper, keeping things casual and close to traditional Lockhart-style barbecue. Sides include smoked baked beans, potato salad, slaw and mac and cheese, while a full bar covers Texas beers and cocktails.

When to visit

Spring is one of the better times to visit, with comfortable Dallas temperatures making it easier to combine lunch or dinner with exploring Bishop Arts.

Most popular: March - May

Spring · Mar, Apr, May

Dallas temperatures rise steadily through the season, though thunderstorms and short periods of heavy rain become more common. The restaurant’s casual counter-service setup suits an easy lunch during a day in the neighborhood. Weekends can feel busier, so arriving earlier also gives you a better chance of getting popular smoked meats before they sell out.

Autumn · Sep, Oct, Nov

Temperatures begin easing after the summer heat, making autumn another comfortable period for combining Lockhart Smokehouse with time around Bishop Arts. Early in the season can still be quite warm, but conditions become milder as the weeks pass. Dallas also has a busy calendar of major events during this period, so weekends around the city can draw larger crowds. Lunch earlier in the day is a practical choice if you want a quieter meal and the widest selection from the smoker.

Winter · Dec, Jan, Feb

Winter in Dallas is generally mild compared with many parts of the United States, although cold fronts can bring chilly mornings and occasional freezing temperatures. Snow is uncommon and usually does not affect the city for long. Lockhart Smokehouse remains a good indoor stop during colder days, especially for smoked brisket, ribs and warm sides. Bishop Arts is still easy to explore between meals, though bringing a jacket is sensible because temperatures can change noticeably from one day to the next.
