Smitty's Market

Central Texas


The blackened pit room and homely dining room are all original (they used to have knives chained to the tables). Choose from a succulent array of barbecued meats – and ask them to trim the fat off the brisket if you’re particular about that.

Standing just a block from the courthouse, Smitty's imbues the entire town square with the nonstop aroma of smoked meat. If you smell like barbecue before you've even had lunch, you have them to thank.
