Pretty good place, locals were eating here when we go there. Didn't have a big line and prices were really good! Sausage was good, lean portion of the brisket was slightly drier than we liked. Pea salad was great, and the owner and his son were really good people even came to the table and chatted with us! Overall a good place especially for the price 🤗

Great food, lots of parking, big portions, the people are super friendly. The food can't tell you how good it is. Quick service.

The brisket was very good, tender and tasty. The potato salad was delicious. We’ve been to Lockhart many times but our first time to try Riley’s. The prices were very fair we had a 2 meat plate that came with 2 generous side servings for under $16. The owners were so friendly we enjoyed visiting with them. I would definitely recommend you give them a try you won’t be disappointed.

Don't let this small venue fool you. It packs a big punch compared to the other Bigger barbecue joints. Its interior carries a more home-like appeal. I was greeted by the friendly owner Riley.

My order included chicken (leg and thigh) and brisket with two sides, one green beans and the other potato salad. To me, sides are just as important as the main course. And I must say that my two sides delivered equal satisfaction to the main course. The brisket was moist and juicy. The outer bark of it was toasted and cooked to perfection. However, my chicken was a bit on the dry side for my taste. I do know th

Don’t miss this place when in Lockhart it’s better than anything in town and less expensive. I’ve been going to this town for years and we love the old historic bbq spots but Riley’s is our new first stop. Owner’s are very friendly and happy to visit. Ribs are excellent!!!!
