I had Chisholm Trail cater my wedding and it was amazing. Brianna the catering coordinator was amazing to work with and was able to assist in accommodating myself and my many guests with a gluten free diet. The set up and service was on time and very professional. Everyone commented on how good the food was!

Never disappoints! I appreciate consistency and that it is all tasty. I've had most of the meats, sides, and desserts, and I can't say that I've had a bad bite. More than that, for me, it's the staff that makes the difference. Always friendly with a smile. Always asking is this piece good? And they always ask can I get you this? Can I explain that? Just lovely.

I personally LOVE SIDES and they have them. We tried them all. My favs! Black eye peas, broccoli salad but there are 19! and their bread!!!!! Yum. Briscuit was good. Sauce is good. Sausage eh. great atmosphere

If I want bbq in Lockhart I go to Chisolm Great combination options Best peach cobbler in Lockhart Quick food, good chicken. Brisket on the fatty side but it never disappoints.

The loaded fries slapped - they were huge, super sauced up (with the ability to add more bbq saucs) and I found it to be really tasty, filling, and re-heated in the air fryer well the following day - there are a ton of bbq options in lockhart, but I'm glad I went to this one

First time visitor! I thought all they had was BBQ. I grew up in a family BBQ restaurant with amazing food, so it’s hard to eat it elsewhere. But I found out they also have cafeteria style serving and their fried catfish is among the top 2 best I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Their sides were amazing… every side I had was well-seasoned which you often don’t get in a restaurant. Their customer service was top notch… down home friendly folks! Just wanted to let you know we had a great experience and I’ll definitely be going back!

Food was good and prices were great. Tons of sides to choose from. Brisket could’ve used more smoky flavor and sausage was a bit too greasy for me but overall I’d eat here again. Cant beat the amount of food you get for the price. And bread appears to be made fresh.

We were stuck in town with car trouble. The mechanic next door said this place has the best Bar-B-Q in a town that is supposedly famous for best Bar-B-Qs. Naturally we had to try it out. We had no idea how the ordering process went, but they were so kind and helpful. It is self serve on the many amazing sides. They serve the meat from their multiple options of amazing meats. All the meats were so tender and so delicious. The sides were all delicious. The service was so nice and wonderful. Will definitely eat there again when we go back to pick up our car.

I cannot say enough about Chisholm trail BBQ. The food was hot and delicious, the customer service was amazing and it did not only raise the bar, they are the bar. They had every side any of my family could ask for. The portions of meat were very fulfilling. Thank you for making us feel at home. Next time I am in Lockhart, we will be back.

Welcome to one of the best barbecue joints in Texas. I first noticed this spot due to the long lines waiting to order from the drive through, every time I passed through Lockhart. You always hear about Lockhart BBQ, primarily because of the more tourist focused operations near downtown. But did you ever wonder where all the local Lockhart BBQ lovers go? They hit up the Chisholm Trail! As I mentioned, the drive through is always busy, so I usually take the time to dine inside. This is a cafeteria style ordering operation, grab a tray and load up on desired sides while placing your meat order. The folks here are very friendly and down to earth, and will answer all your questions. The best side in my opinion is their potato salad, which sets a standard for ingredients, texture and taste… the classic accompaniment for brisket! On this visit, I ordered a fresh chopped brisket sandwich with the moist cut. Pro-tip - Get a fresh chop so you can add your own amount of sauce, keeps the sandwich from getting too soggy! The ribs are great too! Next time you are in Lockhart Texas, skip the tourist traps and give Chisholm Trail a try for some true local color!

We’re staying next door at the Lockhart Inn and decided to try their Breakfast . So glad we did Brisket Taco and was excellent . Brisket just about perfect . Friendly staff . Highly Recommend!

Top notch service. Top quality food at reasonable pricing. Friendly, prompt service. Drive thru was long, yet the expediency was excellent.

Excellent brisket, moist and tender with great smoke. You get a choice of 3 sides ( hot or cold). Great coleslaw and a side you don’t usually see; carrot and raisin salad. We loved it!

I ate inside so I got the Chisholm trail big breakfast and for $11.50 it wasnt all that. Everything is under heat lamps and eggs where dry, the potatoes tasted weird and the beans bacon and biscuit were okay. I love their food. I should of got tacos instead. I dont like to leave bad reviews but it is what it is. Bill miller breakfast plate is cheaper and taste more fresh.

Good BBQ in a town with a reputation for amazing BBQ. Sides were great mac and cheese was not as aldente as I prefer, but also not mushy, perfect for probably 60% of people. Mashed potatoes and gravy were really good. I liked the sweet pickles. Ribs were moist, and had an old school salt pork flavor, membrane on which is not my preference, but it was rendered so not a big deal very moist. Brisket was good tasted like a plain SPG. I didn't care for the cook. Small smoke ring, fat soft but un rendered, meat brown instead of pink. My guess would be that it was wrapped a little to early, so lost a little on color, texture, and flavor, still plenty juicy, decent little above average BBQ, and overall a good experience.

Undeniably that good old Texas BBQ! The flavor was delicious. The ribs and brisket did not need the sauce too brighten the flavor profile, but because it was dry. I was tremendously disappointed by this. The black eyed peas had an overwhelming taste of garlic and I couldn't eat them. The Mac and cheese however was creamy and very tasty. The fried squash was a bit salty for my liking. If they can fix these issues, I will definitely be a repeat customer as the prices were very wallet friendly.

My husband and I both got plates. You get to choose your sides (3), and there are a lot of sides to choose from. I had the smoked turkey with potato salad, green pea salad, and sauerkraut. The turkey was good and so were the sides. The sauerkraut was delicious! My husband had the brisket with fried okra, mashed potatoes and country gravy, and the broccoli salad. This is ny far the best brisket we've had. The sides were good, but the broccoli salad was mediocre. They are, also, serving fish during lent.

The meat was a little dry and overly smoky and the smoke was not a clean smoke so it didn't taste best. It tasted kind of oily The staff was amazing, very friendly and welcoming which created a nice atmosphere Has compared to any of the big chains like Terry blacks this is okay but not really worth the price they charge

Well, I can't say that I am a huge fan of their meats. The only thing that I even order here anymore is their baked potato. THAT I will admit is very tasty, and a great price as well. \n\nI've neve…

Felt like being interrogated for stopping for lunch. There was a sheriff and a table of law enforcement while I was there. The sheriff was peculiarly interested in none of his business and twice said "be careful" as in "don't cause trouble or we will arrest you." Was the least comfortable I have ever felt eating. The food was delicious, but was so salty and greasy is made me ill. The servers were all pleasant.

Food is decent if they decide to put beans in with their onions that day, the tea may or may not be sweet with a “tang” that’ll leave your throat sore the next day (it’s most places not just these guys, tea containers are hard to properly clean I get it). You’ll need to specifically ask when you order as well as at the window for extra bread or else you’ll only get 4 sandwiches with 4 links of sausage. I’m guessing they assume everyone just goes home and isn’t trying to feed their crew? Their newest venture is mini sauce cups, when you would get 2-3 of the usuals now you get 4 minis, so like 1 cup. They love bacon and you may not get out of their parking lot after lunch without being kidnapped

Food is served cafeteria style. However, the food was cold and old. The potato hash had no salt and was at least a couple of hours old. The okra tasted like it was fried in old/dirty shortening. The idea of serving homemade bread is good...but only if it is a bit fresher. I don't think I will be returning to this place. Worst $53 I ever spent...
