Luling City Market BBQ Joint was recommended by my new friend Bill Dumas and he also recommended what to get. Hence the Big Red sugar bomb! An old school BBQ joint that looks just like any other sit down cafe. But in the back Smokehouse are...Read More

Lives up to the reputation. Loved going into the pit to choose the meat. Ribs are outstanding. Brisket good. They can keep the sausage. Sauce...tangy sweet mustard base. Love the simplicity of it. So glad we stopped here.

It's a famous local institution for a reason. Brisket was delicious, the ribs were excellent. I thought the sausage was the only weak link in the otherwise amazing meat party in my mouth. Line or the door, come early with your appetite ready.

This is a classic old school Barbecue place. The food is all great. I had the brisket and the sausage and both were phenomenal. I highly recommend stopping here if you are in Luling. It is famous for a reason.

Fabulous Texas BBQ. Sausage was the best we have had by far. Not greasy and beautifully smoked. The brisket is no slouch either. Here you get your grease! Their sauce is the perfect compliment to these wonderfully smoked meets. Let’s not forget the potato salad! Perfect side...Read More

Best BBQ hands down!! Travelled across the US and been to some of the highest rated BBQ joints in each state but none compare to City Market in Luling. Best BBQ you’ll find, Texas, Memphis, Carolina, or Kansas Cory style.

The nostalgia is amazing and you could not recreate it if you wanted to. This is not the fancy barbecue restaurant in the big city. It is nice with a down-home country atmosphere.

A great annual event to attend. A wonderful country small town experience. A vast variety of vendors makes a walk around the grounds pleasureable. The live music adds spice to it all. Very affordable.
