When Jill and Jeff Bergus opened Lockhart Smokehouse in Plano on Feb. 14, 2014, it was neither their first nor last location. The couple opened the first location in Dallas in 2010, and in 2018 they opened a third location in Arlington.
“My grandfather ran Kreuz Market in Lockhart, Texas, which is an over-100-years-old barbecue place. Lockhart is known as the barbecue capital of Texas,” Jill Bergus said. “My cousin Keith [Schmidt] runs Kreuz Market. We got his expertise on where to buy the pits, how to do the meats. He helped train some of our guys.”
Lockhart Smokehouse menu includes smoked brisket, chicken, turkey, potato salad, banana pudding and much more.
