I own some property that's close to both Lockhart -- the self-proclaimed ""BBQ Capital of Texas"" -- and Luling -- another BBQ ""mecca"" -- so I've had an opportunity to eat at all of the places that most people just read about in Texas Monthly. Let me just say that I have yet to find BBQ pork ribs that can hold a candle to Rib Tickler's! My folks live near Tomball, so I've been there many times in the past few months, and I'm shocked at how good all of the meats are! I was so impressed, I asked to talk to the manager to find out more. It turns out, she has been in the BBQ business for many years and just bought the place. So, if any of you are thinking this is the ""same ol' Rib Tickler "" -- think again! You'll be ""tickled"" you did!
(P.S. The manager says she does a brisk catering business as well.)
