Chisholm Trail Bar-B-Que is the barbecue baby of Lockhart, as it has only been around since 1978. The owner cut his chops (so to speak) working for one of the other places in town. The rules at Chisholm Trail are different, starting with its cafeteria-style line serving more sides than I cared to count—and offering utensils. While Chisholm Trail does serve items like fried catfish and chicken-fried steak, it is still a full-fledged barbecue joint. One bite of the meat puts any arguments otherwise to rest.
