No it's not, but Luling is, City Market is the mother of all BBQ joints

Although I admit there are several excellent places in Lockhart as well
Black's
http://www.blacksbbq.com/
Smithy's
http://smittysmarket.com/
and as mentioned before Kreutz (not my favourite though)
If in Fort Worth visit Angelos
http://www.angelosbbq.com/
be aware that many BBQ joints in Texas don't serve beer
(but will be happy to offer you ice tea

- talk about cultural clash)
