Lake weekends bring a different kind of hunger, and Montgomery knows how to answer it. You might be coming off the water or just wandering around town, but the craving is the same. The pace is relaxed, so a slow lunch fits.

Bar-A-BBQ is a solid starting point for brisket and a classic BBQ plate lunch. Jennings & Co. BBQ works when you want a quieter table and ribs that feel like a real meal. Porky's Belly BBQ is there for the days you want to lean into smoke, sauce, and a little extra attitude.

Eat early, then head back out before the afternoon traffic. Texas BBQ tastes best when you still have time to enjoy the lake air afterward too today.
