I’m looking forward to going back to Kreuz’s Market to re-review it. It just didn’t hit the mark this time. In fairness, I was there on a Monday afternoon around 2 pm, so I may have just hit it at the wrong time. That being said, let’s just jump in. Here is my review. Kreuz Market…
Restaurant Reviews
Black’s Barbecue in Lockhart, TX
Black’s Barbecue seems to own the town of Lockhart. There are signs pointing you directly to Black’s from far away, and all around the restaurant are parking lots which sternly warn that they are only for customer’s of Black’s. When you get up to Black’s, it looks like an old Texas roadhouse. It has an…
Smitty’s Market in Lockhart, TX
Oh boy, was Smitty’s fun. It’s like going over to Grandma’s house for lunch, if Grandma made barbecue. You walk in through a pair of old clacking wooden screen doors, and walk down a long, dark, and somewhat smoky hallway to the dimly lit pit room. The first thing you see when you enter the…

The Colonial Pancake & Waffle House in Hot Springs, AR

Mustang Sally’s in Perryville, AR
There’s a winding highway that wends its way out of west Little Rock, up through the slow foothills of central Arkansas. It’s a beautiful ride, even more so when the leaves are falling. There’s even a certain turn in the road, where you crest a hill and the eastern side looks exactly like Napa. It’s…
Jones Bar-B-Q Diner in Marianna, AR
Oh Boy. Jones Bar-B-Q. What a wonderful visit to a very special barbecue joint. Or diner, because they actually call themselves Jones Bar-B-Q Diner. But if you are expecting the usual diner experience, booths, tables, pie case, you are mistaken. There are two tables in this diner, and one of them is mostly blocking the window…
